Yeah, I'm a Dork
Anyone who follows me on social media knows that I'm a huge geek, particularly when it comes to horror stuff. When you step foot into my basement, the full extent of my nerdom becomes apparent. Posters, props, etc. are everywhere.
I grew up watching horror movies and reading horror novels constantly. I still do the same thing now. If you feel sorry for my wife, you should. She's a real trooper as we slog our way through countless movies of less-than-questionable quality.
In the '90's, I used to watch a show called  which was hosted by the hilarious . Joe Bob would show two or three horror movies on a Saturday night, giving each a running commentary at commercial breaks. As the first, and most popular, reviewer of drive-in movies, Joe Bob actually appreciated the often terrible films he was showing. It was obvious that he enjoyed the genre and dorks like me could relate.
I've missed that show since it went off the air. Recently, I found something on YouTube that, while different from MonsterVision, gives me a nostalgic feel for that old horror show. It's called .
The idea behind Monster Men is pretty simple - two dudes sit around and talk about horror related shit. They discuss movies, books, Halloween and anything else that revolves around horror. It's niche as hell, which is why I enjoy it. The two hosts, and are funny dudes who keep things lighthearted, which also hearkens back to MonsterVision. Watch this clip, where they try out horror-themed wine, and enjoy a good laugh.
Hunter is also an author who writes for . I just read one of his books, and found it a fun romp. The title gives you exactly what it suggests.
Anyway, check out the Monster Men podcast and get a good laugh.
