Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 129, "In the Mouth of Madness"

April 10, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 57.7 MB

The crew lose their minds over John Carpenter's 1994, "In the Mouth of Madness", and get all "Lovecrafty" . . .  so be prepared for the usual diversions and rabbit holes. Dave's cocktail, like the village of Hobb’s End, seems sweet (and somewhat bland) on the surface, but will get you in the end. "Hobb’s End Punch" 2 oz dark rum (Cruzan blackstrap rum) 1 oz lemon juice 1 oz pineapple juice 1 oz grenadine .5 oz simple syrup SEVERAL dashes of Angostura bitters (Note - if you add orange ju...

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 128, "Hereditary"

March 27, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 63 MB

Whew.  The crew watched Ari Aster's "2018 Hereditary" shortly after its release, and were so shaken by it that they vowed never to watch it again.  So . . . here they go again! Gluttons for punishment - and devotees of well crafted movies - they girdled their loins, strode forth into the maelstrom and subjected themselves to its unique "charms". All for YOU, dear listener. All for you. Mary's cocktail was needed. The "Scorched Body" cocktail 1.5 oz. Laphroaig Scotch – or a similar “peaty...

March 13, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 61 MB

The gang fall under the hallucinogenic influence of 2007's horror film, "Shrooms".

To kick off the New Year, Scott, Mary and Dave buckle themselves in, drink a glass of Tang and blast into the  outer space, where they experience the horrors of 1997's "Event Horizon".  Mary gushes over Sam Neill repeatedly, but you knew that was going to happen, didn't you? Actually, no Tang was consumed during this recording, but plenty of Mary's cocktail was. “Gouged Eye” cocktail 2 oz White Rum 1/2 oz Maraschino Liqueur 3/4 oz Lime juice 1/2 oz fresh-squeezed Grapefruit juice (Dave an...

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 122, "Rasputin the Mad Monk"

December 24, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MB

In this Christmas episode the gang is visited by Hammer Studio's 1966, "Rasputin the Mad Monk" and at least ONE of the trio is thoroughly enchanted by Christopher Lee's performance . . . can you guess who? Murderous computer HAL Jr is once again making his presence known. If only it had been "presents", but we don't think HAL Jr celebrates the season. Ah, well. For his holiday cocktail, Dave combines suitable "Russian" ingredients and it ends up tasting like cheap Port wine. Dave LIKES che...

December 13, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB

The crew goes Old School and watches the classic kaiju, 1956's 'Rodan". Scott can't hide his anger at the filmmaker's confusion and misrepresentation of the noble Pteranodon/ Pterodactyl and goes on a frothing diatribe. The cocktail was inspired by Scott's faulty memory regarding Rodan's breath and his overall anger at the creature's "scientific" classification. “Pteranodon Imposter” cocktail. 1 oz. Amaretto 2 oz “Fireball” whiskey liqueur 3 oz Egg Nog Dusting of cinnamon, sugar & nutme...

We join our friends over at the Castle of Horror Podcast to chat about this year's "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" and a damned good time was had by all!

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep.115, "Night of the Living Dead" 1990

September 25, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 79.7 MB

Our dear friend Alex Taylor, that wacky Englishman living in Texas, joins us for a spirited discussion of Tom Savini's 1990 remake of "Night of the Living Dead", and we talk FOREVER! Seriously! Unlike the last episode, Dave only messes up someone's name ONE time, mistakenly referring to actor Duane Jones (Ben from the original 1968 "Night of the Living Dead") as Duane Johnson.  Blast . . . Scott makes a beer cocktail - and its pretty damned tasty! "Uncle Rege's Recipe" beer cocktail In ...

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 114, "Jacob's Ladder"

September 06, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.6 MB

Whew! The crew watch Adrian Lyne's "Jacob Ladder", which is a heartbreaking journey though the experience of memory, trauma . . . and the great unknown. The only thing to lighten the mood was our usual fall down various rabbit holes, another early garage band memory and Dave's continuing mispronunciation of Lyne's last name. Mary's cocktail was a keeper! “Demon Tail” cocktail 2.5 oz Spiced Rum 1 oz Cointreau 3 oz Pineapple Juice 1 oz Orange Juice 1 oz Sweetened Cream of Coconut  .5 oz Lim...

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 113, "Kwaidan"

August 24, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 79.7 MB

The crew watch 1964's "Kwaidan", a thoroughly striking Japanese ghost anthology movie that is over 3 hours long - and if you guessed that this is a LONG episode, you would be right. Good for you! Dave's strong cocktail may have contributed to some tumbles down a few rabbit holes, but hey, at this point, does it even matter? Between listener questions, musings on Post-WW2 Japan and the usual distractions, there is a LOT to take in. Enjoy! "Kwaidan" cocktail - a modified Manhattan. In a mi...

August 09, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 70.1 MB

Friend of the podcast, John "Fading Arcader", joins the crew to help them deal with Dario Argento's 1993 "Trauma". John is the one who introduced us to the movie and pointed out that it was shot in Minneapolis, so . . . in many ways, this whole episode is his fault . . .  Scott's delightfully blue cocktail was a hit. “Minneapolis Trauma” cocktail  1 bottle Smirnoff Ice 1 can Strawberry sparkling water. 2 oz. Blue Curacao Strawberry slice for Garnish 1.Fill Collins glass with ice. 2.Mix ...

The crew watch director Bob Clark's 1972 "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things", a zombie film heavily inspired by Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". Scott teases Dave and Mary with memories of his early 1970's wardrobe, provokes them with possibilities of photographic proof, and now they can't think of anything else . . .  Mary's cocktail was delicious! "Orville’s Shake - Up" In a shaker with ice, combine and shake until chilled:  .75 oz. Banana Liqueur 1.5 oz. Spiced Rum  .5 oz. ...

Monster Movie Happy Hour Ep. 110, "Rabid, 1977"

July 12, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 64.4 MB

The crew watch 1977's "Rabid" by David Cronenberg, and despite HAL Jr's best attempts at sabotaging Mary's  computer and phone, they manage to record their thoughts and sip Dave's variation on the whiskey sour- yes, that's right. ANOTHER whiskey sour for ANOTHER Cronenberg. The "Rabies Sour" Ingredients: 1 Egg white  2.5 oz of Bourbon (Bulleit) .75 oz of Lemon Juice .75 oz of Maple Syrup .5 oz of Cherry Liqueur (Cherry Heering) In a shaker with ice combine all but the egg white and Cherry...

The second part of the Scott Chesebrough Birthday/Mary Challman Leaving the Nest extravaganza continues with a look at 1957's "The Giant Claw". SOMEBODY fell asleep before we could record the "Tail End" of the episode (no bird pun intended), so, several hectic moving days later, Mary had to join us from The Deep Dark Lounge East to wrap it up. Also - Scott's second cocktail was a hit! "The Giant Claw" Margarita In a blender with 5-6 ice cubes, combine and blend until smooth: 15 oz. bag o...

To celebrate Scott's birthday and mark the end (sniff, sniff) of Mary's time in the Minnesota Deep Dark Lounge, the crew watch TWO movies, back to back - and ALMOST record two episodes, back to back! The first movie was this underrated gem from 1977, "Shock Waves". You will have to check out episode #108 for the second movie.

The crew watch 1989's "Moontrap", a pleasant, if somewhat unremarkable, sci-fi movie starring Star Trek's Walter Koenig and genre favorite Bruce Campbell.

Scott, Mary and Dave welcome in the New Year by re-watching Cronenberg's 1975 science fiction body horror film, "Shivers".

In this first (and possibly LAST) Random Picks episode, the crew lose their tiny minds, as evidenced by the fact that they left the selection of the movie AND the cocktail to chance! The movie, drawn from Dave's WW1 helmet, was 1983's "The Final Terror", which was first recommended by screenwriter C. Robert Cargill and gifted to us by our dear friend Tom, turned out to be a lot of fun.  Did we mention this is a LONG episode? When it came to drinks, the cocktail ingredients were randomly ro...
