Media Ghouls Episode 220 - The Donkey Kong Country Trilogy
April 30, 2021 05:44 - 3 hours - 189 MBIan, Justin, and Phil are proud to present the Media Ghouls Retrospective on Rare and Nintendo's Donkey Kong Country Trilogy. It's no secret that these are some of the defining games of our childhood, with a lot '90s nostalgia baked in. However, our job here is to look back within the context of today to discover if these classic games truly do hold up. With insight into the incredible amount of work it took to produce the graphical magic trick of the games' presentation and in depth discussi...
Media Ghouls Episode 219- A Quiet Place
April 16, 2021 04:55 - 1 hour - 77 MBFor the first time in what seems like a long time, Ian and Justin take a look at a recent release with their review of 2018's A Quiet Place. John Krasinski's directorial breakthrough is a unique horror film with excellent pacing and brilliant sound design. However, despite critical acclaim and commercial success, Justin somehow missed out on this film at release. Did he like it or will he go all Stardust on it as Justin sometimes does with movies most people enjoy? You'll have to listen to fi...

Media Ghouls Episode 218 - The Incredibles
April 02, 2021 04:44 - 1 hour - 80.1 MBThe Pixar Renaissance continues as the Media Ghouls gladly review The Incredibles! It's no secret that this is a fantastic film, but with all of the Ghouls now well into adulthood, how does an older perspective affect their view of the movie? It's definitely different now that marriage and raising children is a part of our lives. Approaching these subjects in a mature way is what makes Brad Bird's first Pixar film truly great for audiences of all ages. That and it's just an overall awesome ta...
Media Ghouls Episode 217 - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
March 28, 2021 23:21 - 1 hour - 75.2 MBThe first of our previously Patreon exclusive episodes is now available for your listening pleasure! This one was part of the 2019 Halloween Spooktacular spotlighting the Frankenstein films! In this episode, we take a look at Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This film is infamous but the Ghouls find plenty to enjoy about it. The pacing and editing was not one of those things. The film is unintentionally hilarious...we think? There's a mishmash of poor filmmaking and impressive a...
Media Ghouls Episode 216- Leprechaun 4: In Space
March 17, 2021 05:37 - 1 hour - 56 MBIn the 4th annual St. Patrick’s Day special, Ian and Justin are transported to a galaxy (presumably) far, far away. In this distant place we find an alien princess...and a leprechaun. That’s right, Warwick Davis is back for Leprechaun 4: In Space. This very cheap Aliens ripoff is, unsurprisingly, a mess, but how does it rate on the Leprechaun scale? Grab a beer and celebrate this holiday the right way with our review!

Media Ghouls Episode 215- Home on the Range
March 12, 2021 05:48 - 53 minutes - 46.1 MBIt's time to review the modern Disney film that nobody remembers. That's right, the one with the cows. Home on the Range is an enigma for the Media Ghouls and probably for many of you. What could this oft-forgotten story of Roseanne Cow and Judi Dench Cow have in store for Disney fans? According to the Ghouls, not much to get excited about. Despite music by Alan Menken and some occasionally funny jokes, Home on the Range looks and sounds more like a c-grade studio animated film than a Disney ...

Media Ghouls Episode 214 - 2020 Media Ghouls Awards
February 26, 2021 17:24 - 1 hour - 99.2 MBBetter late than never! Much like this year's Golden Globes, the annual Media Ghouls Awards show is a bit behind schedule, but Ian and Justin have much to talk about! The state of television and movies in 2020 was tumultuous at best with many of the years biggest draws being delayed indefinitely. The Ghouls struggled to find series and films they actually enjoyed in 2020, but their choices are (mostly) illustrious nevertheless. Video games, on the other hand, had a fantastic year and the boys...
Media Ghouls Episode 213 - Brother Bear
February 12, 2021 04:31 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBThe Ghouls return to Disney this week with their review of Brother Bear. Justin, Ian, and Emelynn aren't sure what to say about this animated film. Things get bizarre when Justin points out how much Michael Eisner intended this to be "the next Lion King." It definitely isn't. With baffling choices, a paper thin plot, and forgettable characters, it's understandable how this film is largely forgotten. Ian experiences Bongo PTSD and Emelynn struggles to recall a single note from Mr. Collins's tr...
Media Ghouls Episode 212 - Final Fantasy X
January 29, 2021 04:23 - 2 hours - 152 MBThe Gamer Ghouls are back for another Final Fantasy retrospective. This time, Ian, Justin, Nando, and Phil join Tidus on HIS journey through the mystical world of Spira in Final Fantasy X. At the time, this game was one of the most anticipated and well received rpgs ever made. Two decades later, the cracks are definitely beginning to show. Join us as we discuss the characters, plot, development, music, and systems that make up this acclaimed entry in the series. Some of our opinions (Justin's...
Media Ghouls Episode 211 - The Cabin in the Woods
January 15, 2021 06:34 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBIt's the first horror week of 2021 on Media Ghouls! Ian and Justin are excited to kick off this year's frights with a review of the horror comedy, The Cabin in the Woods. This satirical look at horror tropes and the people who enjoy them has a lot of great ideas, but Ian doesn't find them as effective as they were in 2011. Justin does his best to defend the film before the Ghouls gush over the utter madness of the film's final act and try to identify as many horror references as they can.
Media Ghouls Episode 211- The Cabin in the Woods

Media Ghouls Episode 210 - Finding Nemo
January 01, 2021 23:24 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBJustin, Ian, and Nando return to a Pixar classic in this review of Finding Nemo! This fan favorite has a lot to love, but Ian still finds something to complain about that you might not have noticed in your youth. Nando explains how fatherhood has given him a new perspective on Marlin's journey. A Turtle Talk with Crush story goes awry when the truth behind the encounter is revealed.
Media Ghouls Episode 209 - It's A Wonderful Life
December 25, 2020 06:27 - 2 hours - 107 MBMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Ian and Justin are making the most of this season by taking a look at some Christmas-related films, and this week they review one of the all-time greats, It's a Wonderful Life! Justin immediately takes offense at this movie being labeled a Christmas film, but thankfully still enjoyed it. The Ghouls round out the year by discussing the many small moments that contribute to one of Ian's favorite final acts. The obscure and presumably terrible remakes and spin...
Media Ghouls Episode 208 - Black Christmas
December 18, 2020 05:03 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBThe 2020 Christmas spirit continues to thrive in this week's bright and colorful review of the 1974 slasher, Black Christmas! Everyone is in a merry mood at the sorority house when one of the sisters mysteriously disappears. Once her father gets the police involved, it becomes clear that the prank calls the girls have been receiving may be more sinister than they could have imagined. Ian and Justin had a blast wrapping presents to this all time classic. We hope you will watch the film and lis...

Media Ghouls Episode 207 - Gremlins
December 11, 2020 17:25 - 1 hour - 83.4 MBIn the first of a trio of Christmas movie reviews, Ian and Justin take on the horror comedy classic, Gremlins! This twisted story about little monsters that terrorize a small town has a ton of history behind it with many unexpected cameos and references to classic movies. It also has an exploding head and grotesque imagery far too scary for a young Ian. Strangely enough, the film is also utterly hilarious. This dichotomy made Gremlins a unique smash hit back in the day even if some parents ha...
Media Ghouls Episode 206 - Treasure Planet
December 04, 2020 17:23 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBIt's time to talk about another one of Disney's great failures this week on Media Ghouls. The incredibly expensive Treasure Planet is our topic this episode as we take a rare look at a Disney film none of us have seen! Nando tries (and fails) to not bring up Muppet Treasure Island multiple times. Justin reveals his infatuation with cat ladies. Ian attempts to figure out if setting this story IN SPACE actually adds anything. Collectively, the Ghouls discover what may be one of the absolute wor...
Media Ghouls Episode 205 - ThanksKilling
November 26, 2020 17:52 - 50 minutes - 44 MBHappy Thanksgiving everybody! Justin is taking this opportunity to ruin Ian's and possibly your holiday by making him watch one of the most unabashedly terrible movies ever made, Thankskilling. This "film" starring a demonic turkey hellbent on murdering college students is one of the lowest budget and egregiously bad pieces of cinema ever recorded. And Justin never stops quoting it! Strap in for a wild ride as the Ghouls try to squeeze some humor and merit out of a movie so incredibly tastele...
Media Ghouls Episode 204 - Ghost in the Shell
November 20, 2020 05:07 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBThe Ghouls take a look at another anime classic this week in their review of 1995's Ghost in the Shell. Combining new technology with traditional animation, Ghost in the Shell was a daring and innovative anime when it was released. Much like the classic science fiction films that inspired it, it didn't achieve immediate financial success. However, the film speaks for itself and gives its audience a glimpse into the potential future of human existence. Ian and Justin spend more time pondering ...
Media Ghouls Episode 203 - Friday the 13th: A New Beginning
November 13, 2020 05:20 - 1 hour - 53.4 MBIs there a chill running up your spine? Does something feel not quite "right" today? Maybe you feel like you're being watched? Well that's appropriate because it's Friday the 13th once again and that means a new Friday the 13th movie review from your favorite Ghouls! This time Ian and Justin take a look at Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, an '80s version of a soft reboot. While still a sequel, Friday 5 tries to make some interesting choices with its story and lore but ends up being more of t...
Media Ghouls Episode 202 - Lilo and Stitch
November 06, 2020 05:02 - 1 hour - 73.4 MBIt's Disney week on this episode of Media Ghouls and we are back with one of the best of it's era, Lilo and Stitch! With a more heartfelt story, brilliant character design, and a whole lot of Elvis, there's a lot to love about Lilo and Stitch. It isn't a perfect film though and Ian wastes no time voicing his opinion on the film's final act. Emelynn gives a hula lesson and explains the movie's approach to the traditional dance. Justin lets loose with his love for the infamous Disney World attr...
Media Ghouls Episode 201 - Saw
October 30, 2020 18:07 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBHappy Halloween! It is with great sadness that this episode marks the end of the 2020 Media Ghouls Halloween Spooktacular. Fittingly, our exploration of the Decades of Horror is cut off by the 2004 film, Saw. Having spawned countless imitators and an overwhelming number of sequels, the original Saw remains a modest horror film made by first time director James Wan and his writing partner Leigh Whannell. Justin and Ian explore what made this concept so unique at the time as well as the individ...
Media Ghouls Episode 200 - Scream
October 24, 2020 00:09 - 1 hour - 79.1 MBThe 2020 Media Ghouls Halloween Spooktacular enters the '90s this week as the guys review Wes Craven's Scream! Nearly 25 years after the film's release, does it's "fresh" take on slasher films hold up? Both Ian and Justin think so as they explore the major shake ups this meta film brought to the horror genre and the film industry as a whole. Oddly enough this film has connections to almost every other film we've reviewed for this year's Spooktacular. Could it be a coincidence or is something ...
Media Ghouls Episode 199 - An American Werewolf in London
October 16, 2020 15:41 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBIn a momentous episode of the 2020 Media Ghouls Halloween Spooktacular, Ian finally confronts the film that traumatized him as a child, An American Werewolf in London. While most probably see this '80s classic as an early horror-comedy, a kindergarten-aged Ian would beg to differ. Listen in as he recounts the experience that made horror movies a no no for nearly two decades of his life. Shockingly, Justin has a higher opinion of this movie and ends up writing a better version of the same stor...
Media Ghouls Episode 198 - The Exorcist
October 09, 2020 06:04 - 2 hours - 112 MBIn this week's episode of Media Ghouls, Ian faces his fears and reviews a film he swore to never watch, 1973's THE EXORCIST. No other film could possibly be chosen to represent '70s horror for this year's Halloween Spooktacular spotlight: HORROR THROUGH THE DECADES. Listen in as the guys take a deep dive into the production and legacy of one of the most acclaimed horror films of all time.
Media Ghouls Episode 197 - The Haunting (1963)
October 02, 2020 05:35 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBSpoopy season begins here on MEDIA GHOULS! 2020 has been a bizarre year in our history, but that isn't going to stop the Ghouls from celebrating their favorite time of year. This year's Spooktacular theme is HORROR THROUGH THE DECADES. We begin in the 1960s with the classic film THE HAUNTING. Listen in as Ian and Justin express some controversial opinions on this beloved ghost story from 1963
Media Ghouls Episode 196 - Monsters Inc.
September 25, 2020 05:48 - 1 hour - 92.4 MBThe Ghouls assemble this week to tackle the closest thing Pixar has to a horror movie with their review of Monsters Inc! Jinora's parents explain how this movie is not truly for "all audiences." Justin reveals the multiple lawsuits that arose from the film's massive success. Ian confesses his love for Steve Buscemi for the second time this year. All of this in addition to the treatment you expect from our Disney retrospectives as well as a discussion on the terrifying animatronics that hide w...
Media Ghouls Episode 195 - Spider-Man 3
September 18, 2020 05:16 - 2 hours - 125 MBSpider-Month concludes this week with the Media Ghouls review of Spider-Man 3. Sam Raimi lost control of the franchise with the third entry, and this film has gained an infamous reputation since its release in 2007. Ian thinks the movie's perceived crappiness is a little hyperbolic, so it's time to bring resident Spidey superfan Fernando into the debate. On one hand, Spider-Man 3 has created some of the best memes and bizarre moments of the superhero genre. On the other, it single-handedly de...
Media Ghouls Episode 194 - Spider-Man 2
September 11, 2020 04:15 - 2 hours - 127 MBThe Spider-Month continues this week when the Ghouls break down the superhero classic, Spider-Man 2! Everybody from the original returns and brings their A game for this phenomenal sequel. However, Ian and Justin have some differing opinions on some of the choices made this time around. Before that though, the guys make sure to shame Nintendo for their controversial Super Mario 35th Anniversary announcements. Also on this episode, Ian gives his thesis on the precise moment when Adam Sandler m...

Media Ghouls Episode 193 - Spider-Man (2002)
September 04, 2020 03:16 - 1 hour - 103 MBThe Media Ghouls kick off September with a wall-crawling marathon this week in their review of 2002's Spider-Man! Sam Raimi's first attempt at adapting Peter Parker is a love letter to the original comics of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. With a ton of color, cheese, and a great cast, this is still a very special movie to the Ghouls. The road to making it was insanely convoluted, and Ian does his best to break down the fights for the rights to Spidey. The guys also touch on what still makes this v...
Media Ghouls Episode 192 - Super Mario Bros. The Movie
August 28, 2020 16:38 - 1 hour - 76.3 MBMario Month concludes this week with the Media Ghouls review of the often ignored Super Mario Bros. movie. With the inspired casting of Bob Hoskins and some fantastic pre-Jurassic Park visual effects, this has to be a video game adaptation worth remembering, right? Fernando believes the answer is yes. Ian and Justin...not so much. Join us as we dive deep into the waking nightmare that was this film's production, Nintendo's hands off approach and how it changed the way they protected their IP ...
Media Ghouls Episode 191 - Mario Merchandise Nostalgia
August 21, 2020 05:25 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBMario month continues with an all new nostalgia-loaded episode! This week, Ian and Justin discuss their favorite Mario products from childhood! The episode eventually turns into a commentary on nostalgia and how the merchandising of the radical 80s and 90s has changed!
Media Ghouls Episode 190 - Top 5 Mario Games
August 14, 2020 16:40 - 1 hour - 86.5 MBAugust is the month of Super Mario this year at Media Ghouls! Ian and Justin kick things off this week by running down their personal lists of the plumber's top 5 games. Opinions clash a lot more than the Ghouls expected here as the Nintendo icon's 2D, 3D, and RPG games are discussed and remembered. Justin educates today's youth on the now extinct K-Mart and Ian recounts the very sad weekend he chose to rent "Mario's Time Machine." Stay tuned for more Mario next week!
Media Ghouls Episode 189 - Atlantis: The Lost Empire
August 07, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBOn this month's Disney episode, the gang discusses the oft-forgotten ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE. Listen in as they discuss Disney's 2001 attempt at an action adventure film. The gang also explores early internet flash games, Miyazaki films, and forgotten princesses. Also, Disney shows an astonishing ability to bring racism into a film about a fictional culture.
Media Ghouls Episode 188 - Final Fantasy IX
July 31, 2020 04:44 - 2 hours - 146 MBAfter many months of anticipation, the Media Ghouls event of the summer is here! Ian, Justin, Nando, and Phil bring you their review of the classic role playing game, Final Fantasy IX. In this comprehensive retrospective, the Ghouls go over the production, story, gameplay, music, and legacy of this beloved title.

Media Ghouls Episode 187 - The Purge
July 24, 2020 07:04 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBThe Ghouls take a look at one of the more recent and politically relevant horror franchises this week with their review of The Purge. Ian is pretty lukewarm on this recommendation of Justin's, but does acknowledge that the film opens itself to a lot of discussion regarding it's unique premise. Literal class warfare and social class issues are discussed here with what little integrity the guys have. It's a classic Media Ghouls script doctoring session as Ian tries to explain how to improve thi...
Media Ghouls Episode 186 - Ghost World
July 17, 2020 16:54 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBThis week Justin relives his nineties teen angst as the Ghouls take a look at the indie comic book film, Ghost World. Transported to the days of their youth by two teenage girls, Ian and Justin can't help but be nostalgic for the era this movie portrays. However, both of the guys connect to the middle-aged record collector Seymour more than they expected. Surprisingly, the film approaches some fairly heavy topics and they do their best to interpret what the director and original creator were ...
Media Ghouls Episode 185 - The Emperor's New Groove
July 10, 2020 04:01 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBThe Ghouls are back after the Cretaceous disaster with their review of The Emperor's New Groove! Justin, Ian, Emelynn, and Heather discuss this Disney animated comedy and its fantastic cast of villains. While the all out comedy approach helps the film in a lot of ways, Ian can't help but feel that his culture is done a disservice. That means it's time for another conversation about Disney and their history of cultural appropriation. That's not all though as we try to make sense of the film's ...

Media Ghouls Episode 184 - Jaws
July 03, 2020 09:21 - 1 hour - 96.3 MBThis week the boys take a look at the best 4th of July movie inside and outside of the water, Jaws! Steven Spielberg blended horror, suspense, and action to create the first modern blockbuster film two years before his friend George would take us to a galaxy far, far away. 45 years later, this is still one of the greatest movies ever made. However, it's fabled disastrous production made its success anything but a sure thing. Join Ian and Justin as they explore the history, the story, and the ...

The Ghouls choose their top 5 best and worst games from this buried genre of video gaming history. Justin reveals some of his N64 shame and Ian rants about the Spielberg curse. After a deep dive into the many versions of Jurassic Park and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the guys discuss why they don't really make these anymore and how Arkh...
Media Ghouls Episode 182 - PS5 and E3 Memorium
June 19, 2020 05:39 - 1 hour - 87.9 MBAmidst the many cancelations of 2020, one has left the video game world feeling a little more empty. The cancelation of the Electronics Entertainment Expo, E3, has left the various video game publishers scrambling to figure out how to announce their newest slate of games as well as Microsoft and Sony's new consoles. While many questions are still unanswered, Sony has recently unveiled the Playstation 5 and the first two dozen or so games for it. Ian and Justin give you their play by play of t...
Media Ghouls Episode 181 - Candyman
June 12, 2020 04:27 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBIt's time to put the fear back into the podcast this week as we take a look at Candyman. Ian and Justin review this modern horror classic from 1992 before seeing it's 2020 "true" sequel. Tony Todd's performance as the titular boogeyman haunts the film both while he's on and off screen. Much discussion is had over how the film portrays the residents of Cabrini-Green and the real life murder that took place there along with the systemic racism that led to the decline we see in the movie. Whethe...
Media Ghouls Episode 180 - Dinosaur
June 08, 2020 05:54 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBThe Ghouls have their work cut out for them this episode as they take a look at one of the most forgotten Disney films of the modern era, Dinosaur. Neither Justin nor Heather have previously seen this one, and even though Ian and Emelynn have, they couldn't remember much besides iguanodons and lemurs. That's because in Disney's first CG feature film, a bunch of dinosaurs and lemurs walk across a desert to a valley. That is the majority of the plot. Much more interesting is how this movie star...
Media Ghouls Episode 179 - Akira
May 29, 2020 05:40 - 1 hour - 84.9 MBOn this very special episode, the Ghouls review an anime film for the very first time! Despite spending many episodes analyzing the hell out of Disney films, the Ghouls have neglected the Japanese side of animation for far too long. That is remedied today as we dive into the dystopian masterpiece that is Akira. In a weird twist of fate, the resident anime Ghoul, Nando, has never seen this classic movie! Join us as we analyze Otomo and his team's visual mastery and how anime's march to the Wes...
