  • 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.

  • Brings me forward and back

    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.

    I grew up with horror hosts, most especially Sir Graves Ghastly in Detroit. I grew up watching monster and horror movies on television mostly. So many of those still resonate within me, and there are more than a few trips I can find them on Blu-ray, I ... more

    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

  • Too much filler

    I wanted to like this but the first episode I played…. The first 20 minutes was taken up with adverts. By the time they started talking about the film I was interested in I had lost interest.

    Shame, as I’m always keen to listen to monster movie discussions.
