Tracey and Scott return to Monster Kid Radio – Monster Mania Review

Tracey and Scott made another trip outside of Disney, Indiana and ended up on Monster Kid Radio once again. We sat down with show host Derek Koch to talk about our trip to the Artcraft Theater’s Monster Mania event in Franklin, Indiana in October. This two day event featured 35mm print screenings of six classic Universal monster films, most of which we had never seen before.

Part one of our discussion, in which we talk about Artcraft itself and the two films we watched on day one – Dracula (1931) and The Wolf Man (1941).

Part two of our discussion, in which the four films we watched on day two – The Invisible Man (1933), The Mummy (1932), Frankenstein (1932), and The Creature from the Blank Lagoon (1954).

Today’s episode finds one of our co-hosts not only MIA, but not found on Earth! Can our remaining host open the show? Will it go smoother than normal? Will the missing host return in time for the segments? Does anyone miss them? These answers and more await you!

Speaking of answers to questions – how about what segments are on today’s episode? Well, first off a discussion of the newest entry into the Marvel film universe: Thor The Dark World. A look at the film’s history, how it fits in with the other Marvel films and what our hosts thought of the film are all in store.

It’s also time for November’s Future Disney Legend segment with a look at the career of Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde. The man who, among other projects, helped developed the sorely missed Adventurers Club and also worked on a little something called Disney’s Animal Kingdom as well.

Keeping with the Animal Kingdom theme, our hosts have a book review on the Imagineering Field Guide to Disney’s Animal Kingdom from Tracey in the episode as well.

All this, plus a listen to WWED, a call over the Main Street Cinema to see what Mortis is up to and some great listener feedback!

Welcome to Disney, Indiana!
