Monster Squad (1987)

On this episode we talk about the 1987 cult classic Monster Squad with Steve Elliott @lancehandsome. A commercial flop, Monster Squad has had a resurgence in the Comic Con era and we try to unravel the reasons this movie is just so good. We talk about how cool Rudy is and how human Fred Dekker made him look, about Fat Kid (Horace) and his transition to bad ass, and how movie tropes and kitsch movie monsters from the old days of movies got a fresh run out in this classic film.
