ALL EYES ARE ON MONSTER PARTY!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD put on their protective goggles for an episode of true vision. Join us for this pulse-pounding podcast praising petrifying and provocative peepers that we're proudly promoting as … EYES!!!

A few months back, we had a blast doing an episode called MONSTER TEETH, where we examined every example of chilling chompers that genre films could provide. In fact, this podcast was so much fun, we decided to tackle James Gonis' worst nightmare. Since the eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the body (sorry, testicles. We'll get to you some day.), they are the perfect soft target in a horror movie. And what would the reputation of sci-fi and fantasy films be without the occasional bug-eyed monster or rampaging cyclops?

Get ready for an ophthalmic onslaught of awesome orbs, including the slow but inevitable agony featured in Lucio Fulci's Zombie, the creepy inventiveness of THE CRAWLING EYE, the cybernetic spider from JOHNNY QUEST, and the incandescent absurdity of kid-friendly kaiju, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

Joining us for this cornea-crushing conversation is a loyal friend and supporter of MONSTER PARTY. He is an absurdly talented writer, actor, improviser, voice artist, journalist, podcaster, and has helped provide names for the world's best-loved products. You will also know him as the screenwriter for the genre classics, SANTA JR. and MONSTER MAKERS. Please welcome back the man whose eyes we keep getting lost in… MARC HERSHON!

IN YOUR EYE, JAMES GONIS!

DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH! MAYBE TOO HIGH?

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD toast and roast the seasonal cinematic chestnuts that have been served to genre fans over the years. Not even The Grinch can stop… OVERRATED & UNDERRATED: THE HOLIDAY EDITION!

Every holiday season, we Monster Partiers celebrate with an expansive and diverse playlist of winter wonder films. Whether made for film or TV, the entertainment industry has not been shy in churning out a Santa's sleigh-bag of holiday-themed horror, sci-fi, and fantasy fare. Ranging from beloved animated TV specials like Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and A Charlie Brown Christmas, to Christmas classics like It's A Wonderful Life, March of The Wooden Soldiers, and White Christmas, and even offbeat and often controversial viewing like Silent Night Deadly Night, Gremlins, Fatman, The Thing, and Batman Returns, it's relatively safe to say that there's something for every taste.

But are all these so-called classics as good as everyone thinks? And should some films and TV specials have a better reputation than they currently hold? Whatever your opinions, we guarantee that this episode will present challenging arguments that only MONSTER PARTY could inflict.

Joining us for this canticle of criticism is a long-time friend of MONSTER PARTY, and our answer to Kris Kringle. He's a brilliantly talented comedian, actor, writer, producer, and podcaster, who has worked on or created such genre-friendly projects as THE SIMPSONS, SUPER ADVENTURE TEAM, THE GEX TRILOGY, TED, CREEPSHOW: THE SERIES, TALES OF HALLOWEEN, STAN AGAINST EVIL, and HANGING WITH DOCTOR Z. Please welcome back, the Christmas miracle that is… DANA GOULD!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MONSTER PARTIERS! AND HAVE A CUP OF EGG NOG, IF ONLY TO ANNOY LARRY.

Joining us for this stocking full of fun is a return guest who is the glue that holds THE MONSTER PARTY HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE together.
