Monstrology

Will and Madryn celebrate our 50th episode, the 2nd anniversary of the show, and HALLOWEEN, with another all guests bunker episode. We catch up with Feceus the Kraken, Ryder the Dragon, Skeleton 527, and Cupid, before being thrown into some high-stakes trivia! We also take some questions and comments from some surprize former guests (Gordon Harper, Sappho Hansen Smythe, Jordan Kennedy, and Christopher Seeney) on the Monster Phone Line. Finally, the monsters make their pitches for the Golden Creatchies, before the bunker is found by a notorious cult leader, and 5-timer Brandon Knox, arriving to receive his honorary jacket! Happy Halloween! Watch out for giant spiders!

It's a Monstroliday Spook-tober Special: 13 Slashers to Die For! Looking for something to watch this Halloween? Will and Madryn break down what makes a great Slasher movie, share their individual essential 10 slasher lists, and close the wound on close shaves that didn't make the cut. Unrelenting killers, iconic outfits, creative camerawork, and pitch-perfect settings, these films have it all. Finally, Will and Madryn fight to the death, and rank the official Monstrology Top 13 slashers. Check in. Relax. Take a shower. What could go wrong?

Will and Madryn kick off Spooktober with Werewolves!
 
We go sniffing for answers on this classic creature's origins, and track the beast through Gilgamesh gossip, Greek punishments, Nordic pelts, 16th century serial killers, and a whole Were-World of Madryn's monsters.
 
This pop culture powerhouse has also evolved through many iconic trope-making monster movies, bringing us tons of terrific transformations, silver bullets, adolescent analogies, sports champions, moonlit makeovers, and well costumed dance moves. Plus, the werewolf brings us some A-grade music, tv, and family friendly entertainment!
 
Finally we're joined by Wolfina Doe (Tamlynn Bryson) who talks to us about her transformation cycles, the cost of rental property, sore gums, unsexual organs, and the value of a good OtterBox.

Will and Madryn guide you into the world of Fauns!
 
Or is it Satyrs...? We uncover the history of these Greek and Roman counterparts, their godly origins, and some Pan(ic)ing historical details. This magical and musical monster has also inspired commercial campaigns, German hardcore folk groups, and multiple war-torn escapist fantasy films.
 
Finally, we're joined by Ron (Mike Hogan), who shares his X-Men analogies, favourite horny hangouts, and the secret of the Goat-man. Plus, stick around to the end for a very candid snippet of investigative journalism at an establishment known only as "Sweaty Betty's..."

Will and Madryn go stargazing for Pegasus! After a brief recap of our summer vacation, our monstrologists dig into the Greek history of this stud of a horse, the shared mythology with the lesser known hero Bellerophon, and the powers that made this flying phenom an A-grade talent. Pegasus also has pop culture galore! Hercules, portal horses, airlines, Nintendo knockoffs, and more... Finally, we're joined by THE Pegasus (Sappho Hansen Smythe), who talks us through their brand awareness, best meals, communication woes, boar brother, and buff physique.

Will and Madryn go hunting for Predators, in another special edition Monstrology Creature Feature! We talk about our favourite performances in these action-packed pictures, and the legendary stories and designs that went into the making of this monster. Then we track the evolution of the Yautja, from 18th century menace, jungle dweller, city hunter, and beyond! And of course we dish out our Creatchie Award winners, best kills, heart stopping moments, and a few half decent Schwarzenegger impressions. What are you waiting for? "GET TO ZEE CHOPPA!"

Will and Madryn summon the secrets of Beelzebub! The literal Lord of the Flies! We unpack the history of this gluttonous Prince of Darkness, from his fall from grace and banishment of the Prime Evils, to his formation of the Order of the Fly. This Supreme Monarch of the Inferno has inspired all sorts of pop culture, including a supernatural detective story, a Pick of Destiny, some mandatory school reading, an uncomfortable anime, and an epic science fiction story. Finally we're joined by B. Elliot (Gordon Harper), who clarifies demon swarm logic, the consequences of bug crushing, his acrylic artwork, and the correct colours of the rainbow.
 
Also we thread now. @monstrologypod

Will and Madryn set sail into the waters of The Kraken! We dive into the Norse and Scandinavian history of this gigantic cephalopod, and track it's various sightings around the globe. This aquatic a-lister has also inspired numerous nautical films, tv shows, and video games, the newest NHL hockey team, a spiced rum, and a wonderfully titled song by The DreadNaughts. Finally, we're joined by Feceus (Brandon Knox), who teaches us about Kraken feeding cycles, the whale war, his alien interactions, and may just be the chosen one...  

Will and Madryn track down the Jersey Devil! This classic cryptid dates back to the 1700s, and has over 299 years of sightings in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Is it the 13th child of Mrs. Leeds? A prehistoric creature? A stranger's (or soldier's) curse? We cover the devil's famous beef with Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Bonaparte, then dig into his appearances in tv, film, video games, cocktails, and more! Finally we're joined by Mevil (Jordan Kennedy), the Jersey Devil! Who reveals the secrets behind the real slim shady, his Jersey super-team, sports betting, sobriety, and the number 13...

Will and Madryn fly into the realm of Fairies! We cover the wide range of these preternatural pixies, graceful goddesses, and animalistic abominations, and the modern superstitions of their homeland. These lifelong luminaries have brightened all sorts of pop culture: from family oriented franchises, to unnatural insects, and sexy streaming tv. Finally, we’re joined by The Tooth Fairy (Brianna Love) who uncovers the truth behind tooth collecting, the value of your baby teeth, and may or may not be making an army of Scandinavian warriors…
