We'll be taking a bit of a break from movies for a while. An explanation as to why and a replacement podcast are here all in one place for your convenience. DethRants will be on a separate feed going forward so be sure to follow it and the Bluesky account @DethRants.
We will be back intermittently with movie podcasts so stay subscribed here too!
We're back to that early 2000's sweet spot of Action/Fantasy/Horror that we love so much with 2004's critically panned (unless you're Roger Ebert) "Van Helsing". So grab your stake gun and join us for a rant about the film taking itself way more seriously than we do, so much CGI (but it's still no Spawn), an overly dramatic Dracula, a more philosophical Adam, cool little Boggart dudes and a Werewolf with some serious Fabio hair

We're sticking with 50's Sci-Fi for the month (you know, because it's so Christmas-y). But we've got something with a little bit more meat (and forehead) this week in 1955's "This Island Earth". So assemble your Interocitor and tune it in to this rant about early versions of sci-fi tropes, , a complete disregard for safety, how people in the past look older, a very useless mutant and a proto Hal Jordan that you just can't hate.

Well we finally made it to 100 Episodes and, as promised, it's time for the long awaited "Teenagers From Outer Space". So grab your Focusing Disintegrator Ray and join us for a rant about the most B-movie a sci-fi can be, stiff skeletons, DEREK the alien, Space-Nazis, wondering where the commie fear is, some occasionally proper sci-fi and why a man failing to cross the road is one of Mono's favourite cinematic moments.
A massive thank you to all our listeners and guests and everyone who's helped us reach this milestone!"

Hey listener, I hear your sister's going out with... SQUEAK! That's right; it's time for the beautiful mix of Airplane and South Park that is 1998's BASEketball. So join us in the hot tub (the playmate of the year one, not the spinning one) for this rant about overall preferring this over Dodgeball (with one exception), surprisingly little South Park, wanting more live action Matt & Trey, a slow act two, an excellent Robert Stack cameo and the always awesome "Aw Aww".

This one is long overdue here at MonoRants. We've threatened it for ages but finally got around to talking our favourite Christopher Nolan film "The Prestige". So watch closely (even though it's a podcast) and join us for a rant about how hard it is to summarise this film, obsession and the cycle of revenge, early foreshadowing and bittersweet endings, the many mysteries to uncover and Tesla as the mystic of the mountain.
