Filmonsters: Frankenstein Reborn and The Werewolf Reborn (with John Gholson)
Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks
05/10/24 • 62 min
One of the briefest and strangest sublabels in Full Moon's history, Filmonsters was trying to capitalize on a very specific niche, namely the success of the GOOSEBUMPS TV series and it's subsequent VHS spin-offs. These two family-friendly riffs on classic Universal Monsters were intended to be part of a longer series, but petered out after only two simultaneously-released entries. Actor, writer, and artist John Gholson joins us to discuss this weird footnote and share his love of Frankenstein tales.

Doctor Mordrid (with Cecil Trachenburg)
Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks
01/26/24 • 59 min
The closest thing Charles Band ever made to an actual Marvel movie, DOCTOR MORDRID is Band's love letter to Marvel and his favorite character, Doctor Strange. Jeffrey Combs stars as the titular hero in this surprisingly lavish production that should have launched a larger franchise. Cecil Trachenburg from GoodBadFlicks portals in from another dimension to tackle all the witchcraft and wizardry.

Trancers II: Return of Jack Deth / Trancers III: Deth Lives! (with Erik Hanson)
Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks
01/12/24 • 66 min
It's a double-dose of Deth this week as we return to one of our earliest franchises, TRANCERS! The only Empire film series to make it onto the Full Moon label, the Tim Thomerson-starring franchise has always been a favorite of Charles Bands, but do these carry over the charm of the original or is it a case of diminishing returns? Erik Hanson from the Cradle 2 the Grave Podcast joins us to find out!

Bad Channels (with Becky Darke)
Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks
01/05/24 • 60 min
An alien lifeform infects the airways of a local radio station, and only one shock jock can stop them from sucking unsuspecting victims into full-length music videos! That's right, it's BAD CHANNELS, the wacky sci-fi/comedy/musical from Ted Nicolaou! We're excited to be joined by British podcasting great Becky Darke to dig into to this film's wild take on MTV, and it's failed attempts at bridging the gap to other Full Moon features.

Psychos in Love (with Matt Desiderio)
Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks
12/29/23 • 66 min
One of the weirder objects we've encountered so far, PSYCHOS IN LOVE is about as cult as cult gets, a madcap mashup of PSYCHO and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. We're joined by Matt Desiderio from the oddball horror collective HorrorBoobs, who talks about his personal friendship with the film's writer/star Carmine Capobianco.
