Greetings Beast Folk. Welcome to Dr. Moreau's island. Don't suck the water, kill the rabbits, or even pretend to memorize your lines. Such was the case with this film's two powerhouse leads: Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer. You can literally see their egos taking over and ruining everyone's time. Forbidden Planet anyone? Not to mention the on-set witchcraft, the world’s smallest man (inspiring Austin Powers’ Mini-Me!), and ice bucket hats. Truly, this is a film everyone should see to believe. So dear Sayers of the Law: does this adaptation of an H.G. Wells classic stand the test of time? Or is it best left in the House of Pain? Plus, enjoy Peter Lorre's review of a Bela Lugosi haunted house romp called Spooks Run Wild. We're all running wild with this one. Thanks to Frank for joining and thank YOU for listening!

Surprise! We're teleporting to another time when Matt and Vincent first started talking monster movies. It's their first episode together! We discuss David Cronenberg's The Fly, about a scientist who becomes fused with a housefly with disastrous results. There are also baboons, acid vomit, and extreme arm wrestling. It's a good time. Plus, Vincent gives a rundown on all the other Fly movies out there with the likes of Vincent Price, B-movie body horror, and a hamster with human hands. More good times. Thank you all for listening!

Leave the pups at home, we're bringing the Hard R to Camp this week. We discuss Kevin Smith's Tusk, about a psycho who turns Justin Long into a heinous meat-suit-wearing walrus. You'll either love or hate this movie and that's part of the fun! Fun? Well, morbidly fascinating at least. Along the way we cover the joys of Smith's filmography, the pains of poutine, and if Johnny Depp's casting was a Cana-do or a Cana-don't. Plus, Peter Lorre gets his groove back reviewing the Bela Lugosi camp film, The Devil Bat (1940). Thanks for listening friends and special thanks to Naomi and Sean for joining us this week. We'll see you next time for Dracula's Daughter (1936) - a classic Universal film with returning guest, Naomi Osborn. If you enjoy Camp Kaiju, please leave a rating and review.
