Midwest Monsters Episode 236 - True Crime 17 - The Murder of Sylvia Likens & ”The Girl Next Door”

For our next true crime episode we are taking a look at the tragic torture and murder of Sylvia Likens in 1965.

Midwest Monsters Episode 235 - The Invisible Man Franchise

"They've asked for it, the country bumpkins. This will give them a bit of a shock, something to write home about. A nice bedtime story for the kids, too, if they want it." - "The Invisible Man"(1931). Join us as we navigate Universal's "The Invisible Man" franchise that included 6 movies between 1933 and 1951. Available now on iTunes, podbean and our blog. As always, thanks for listening!

Midwest Monsters Episode 233 - Home Invasion A Roundtable Discussion

Join us as we have a discussion on one of the most basic of fears put to screen since 1909- home invasion. Everyone needs a safe, happy place to call home so the idea of someone choosing to violate that, can make for some unpleasant but effective movies. As long as movies have existed, this topic has been explored so be sure to listen in as we take a look at what makes these movies work and some of the notable offerings over the years. Available now on iTunes, podbean and our blog. Thanks for listening!

Midwest Monsters Episode 230 - Monsterpiece Theatre 5

Join us for a discussion where we are taking a look at beloved films "Robocop" and "From Dusk Till Dawn". These are two movies that both spawned franchises but as singular efforts are considered classics by most who grew up alongside them. While there is always the chance we could take a look at more of either franchise down the line, we couldn't resist the idea to jump head first into these infinitely rewatchable movies now. Available now on iTunes, podbean and our blog. Thanks for listening!
