I truly enjoy this podcast for trips down memory lane and adding to my watch list.
Love this podcast! The old trailers, movie ads, Famous Monsters memories and Ultraman segments make it wonderful and nostalgic for a Monster Kid! Then the main programming on films is informative and brings back those late movies and Creature Feature shows I enjoyed as kid.
Yeah, I'm a monster kid. Although I never had a subscription, whenever I found Famous Monsters of FilmLand in a stationary store or on a magazine stand, I always bugged my parents to get me a copy until I got an allowance and could buy it myself.

Monster Kid Radio is one of those comforting shows - it has a format, you know what you're going to get, and Derek delivers!
He was a prime inspiration for my own show ("Bill Watches Movies") and was very helpful in getting the show publicized and off the ground.
He's going through some rough times now, but rough times always pass, and Derek, a t... more
