Code true Crime. Hello everyone,
and welcome to Monster Madness, a podcast

10
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.519
dedicated to all sorts of creature features. On this show, we will be

11
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:10.079
discussing the supernatural, the undead,
giants, aliens, and even sometimes humans,

12
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.319
because let's face it, people can
be garbage. This podcast is hosted

13
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:19.040
by not one, not two,
but three people and the point of this

14
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.680
episode is to introduce ourselves to you. My name is Eric Igwin. I've

15
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.680
been podcasting for a few years now
and have been a part of quite a

16
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.120
few shows. I have a true
crime pod called The Apex and the Abyss

17
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.079
that I host myself. I help
research on a missing persons show called The

18
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.000
Vanished. I do purposefully bad photoshop
art for a podcast called The Cast and

19
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.319
the Furious, and I have guests
spotted on a show called The Podcast of

20
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.280
Terror with Corey Scott and Matt Stein. So, my fellow hosts and I

21
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.519
love horror movies and came up with
the idea for this show based on that

22
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.200
simple fact alone. We talk about
them all the time, so we figured,

23
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.040
why not record ourselves talking about them? Maybe other people would like that

24
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.319
too, And then the ideas just
kept bawling. But before we dive into

25
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.760
the details of the show, let's
meet the other hosts. Matt take it

26
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.080
away, But yeah, I'm the
other one, one of the other ones,

27
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.919
Matt's nine. I actually co host
the show the aforementioned Cast and Furious

28
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.560
with a friend of mine, Matt
Vincent. I also host co host Podcast

29
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.719
of Terror. I like long walks
on the beach too, candle at dinners,

30
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:32.120
anything, pumpkin spice, I'm chocolates. I love white claws because they're

31
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.639
refreshing when it's hot out and it's
hot where I live for six weeks,

32
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.680
and I've been podcasting for like thirteen
years, actually not quite ten nine ten

33
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.759
a lot. Yeah, Wow,
you learned something today. I did.

34
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.800
Okay, Dan, you're up.
I'm Darren Gwyn, the third host of

35
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.199
the Monster Podcast. For me,
this is the first podcast have I've been

36
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.039
on. I'm a big fan of
kayak, fishing, craft, beers and

37
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.199
watching monster movies and discussing them with
friends, and that's us. So let's

38
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.199
dive into what the show actually is
going to be so you have an idea

39
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.680
of what you're in for. Each
Monday on Monster Madness, we plan on

40
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.479
covering the good, the bad,
the obscure, and movies you have never

41
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.199
even heard of. On each episode, we will dissect the movie from start

42
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.080
to finish, and then we will
tell you if we recommend it or not.

43
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.280
We will also have a game portion
to each episode. Once we wrap

44
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.719
up the film discussion, I will
provide the questions and Matt and Dan will

45
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.080
go head to head each week to
see who will win the glorious bragging rights.

46
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.439
We'd also like to note that Monster
Madness seasons will each have some sort

47
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.759
of theme. For instance, our
first season of episodes will feature universal monster

48
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.879
movies and their modern counterparts, or
movies that were inspired by the classics.

49
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.280
But we will also break from that
mold every so often to talk about new

50
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.400
movies in the theaters, and of
course our holiday specials. But speaking of

51
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.560
specials, that brings me to my
final talking point feature at Fridays. Every

52
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.520
so often, we will release bonus
content on Fridays that will showcase a written

53
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.879
work such as a book, comic, graphic novel, a video game,

54
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.560
or an interview from someone within the
horror community. These episodes maybe short or

55
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.319
long, depending on the topic,
but our goal is to cover the horror

56
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.879
genre across the entire spectrum, from
the silver screen TV to a written work,

57
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:19.439
and with that, I think that
just about covers everything. Now that

58
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.920
you've met all of us, we
really hope that you continue to tune in

59
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.160
each week. You can also find
us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

60
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.759
Maybe I'll make an untapped Dan and
I like to drink beer, so maybe

61
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:36.600
maybe you can find us on all
those platforms. Monster Madness Pod. You

62
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.560
can email the show up Monster Madness
Pod at gmail dot com. Otherwise,

63
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.879
we really hope that you continue to
come back. Thanks guys,
