Monster Kid Radio #094 - Thunder Fist Punching Infra-Man with Ray Jelinek


Ray Jelinek continues his Infra-Man stint on Monster Kid Radio as he and Derek thunder fist punch their way into the nitty gritty of this 1975 Shan Hua-directed film. Ray's life was changed the day he saw this film as a child, and Derek wishes he had that same formative experience. In addition to Derek and Ray wrapping up their discussion of Infra-Man, Derek learns about Ray's childhood horror host.

Monster Kid Radio #093 - A super-fun time with Ray Jelinek and Infra-Man!


When Derek first started talking with his friends about about launching Monster Kid Radio, Ray Jelinek started talking about a movie he remembered seeing when he was a kid. That movie was 1975's Infra-Man (dir. Shan Hua), and while it wasn't a movie that would normally find a home in the Monster Kid Radio wheelhouse, Ray's enthusiasm and outright glee when talking about this movie makes Infra-Man something we DEFINITELY need to talk about on the podcast.

Monster Kid Radio #089 - Report from the 2014 H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival & CthulhuCon


Last weekend was the 2014 H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival & CthulhuCon, and Monster Kid Radio was there! For three days, Lovecraft fans took over Portland's Hollywood Theatre for feature films, short movies, author readings and signings, panel discussions, madness-inducing parties...so basically just a really good time! Derek was a small part of the show this year as he was asked to introduce the 1968 film Curse of the Crimson Altar (dir. Vernon Sewell), as well as participate in one of the panels. Between events, Derek caught up with old and new friends, and in this episode of Monster Kid Radio, you'll hear some of those conversations. First, Derek spoke with author David Agranoff about his recent books (Boot Boys of the Wolf Reich, Hunting the Moon Tribe) and where you might find a horror host or monster influence in them. Then, Derek spoke two composers whose work has had a home on his iPod for years - Troy Sterling Nies and Reber Clark. They're two of the four composers behind the excellent album Out of the Aeons: Music for a New Dark Age. Finally, Derek checks in with Monster Kid Radio regulars Ray Jelinek and Chris McMillan for their thoughts on this year's festival.

Monster Kid Radio #088 - How realistic is The Deadly Mantis? Andy Camble tells us.


Kaiju 101's Andy Camble continues his visit on Monster Kid Radio as he and Derek continue to talk about The Deadly Mantis (dir. Nathan Juran). Andy's own podcast looks at the science of the great kaiju films, so in this episode, Derek asks him how realistic the science of The Deadly Mantis is. They also talk about the ending of the film, further talk about the models used in the movie, those beloved Crestwood House Monster books, and what Andy has in store for future episodes of Kaiju 101.

Also, the winner of the Tom Biegler The Alligator People original sculpt is announced.

Monster Kid Radio #087 - Andy Camble vs. The Deadly Mantis


This week's guest host is no stranger to giant monsters. Andy Camble is the producer of the always excellent Kaiju 101 podcast, and he's joining Monster Kid Radio to talk about a non-rubber-suited monster - The Deadly Mantis (dir. Nathan Juran). How does this film compare to other big bug movies of the time? Do birds really have a skeletal system? And what is Newton's Third Law?

Also, Ray Jelinek tells Derek why he's attending the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival this year. (Apparently he survived last year's event!)
