The show that really dorks out about the 1987 cult classic The Monster Squad, one minute at a time!
Midnight! End of the world, remember? No? Oh, well never mind then. But it's definitely the end of the credits, which means we are on the final minute of Monster Squad!
The only appropriate way to close out such an epochal enterprise than by having the slayer of monsters and hero of the movie Phoebe Crenshaw on the show!
Actress Ashley Bank takes us through being a six-year-old girl in a tux at a movie premier, the final fate of Scraps, and how legitimately terrifying Duncan Regehr's Dracula was from a couple inches away.

One of our most requested guests,Patrick's Sister herself Lisa Fuller joins us to reminisce about filming the movie, what the experience of its resurgence in popularity has been like, why Patrick's Sister has no first name, and what was on the mix tape Ryan Lambert made her that one time. Plus what Lisa's favorite monster is, and whether or not he, or Steve, counts.

Crystal Beth returns, armed with forbidden knowledge of what's actually happening in the movie! Does she like it? Does she still think Dracula's costume looks cheap?

Justin returns, and weighs in on Star Trek/Monster Squad, argues in favour of a continuing Crenshaw family unit, and ponder if the Archies or the cast of Saved by the Bell would've done as well vs Drac and the gang.

Anthony Murphy is pitch-hitting for Justin once more as we talk about these army guys are Eugene wrote to, and figure out why the heck they showed up anyway.
Also in this episode, bullies DJ and Derek try to worm their way into the Squad, and Scary German Guy and Eugene do heartbreaking violence to a beautiful antiquarian book.

Justin has been sucked into limbo, so Anthony Murphy from No Time for Heroics returns to help us in the aftermath of the battle between good and evil. We ponder the merits or lack thereof of Gilmore Girls, what the Monster Squad might be up to a hundred years from now in the next time holes to limbo need a-blowin', and what would happen in the potential Star Trek/Monster Squad crossover.
Note that we had some kind of limbo-induced tech crash half way through this ep and switched to the backup. Pardon our echos!

This episode Phoebe blew a hole in limbo and sucked away our audio with it! So after a catastrophic equipment failure, Andrew has pieced back together the episode into a shambling patchwork mockery of a man that shows up just in time to grab Dracula by the neck and impale him on a cross! Ainsley Hawthorn returns to help us figure out this magic spell thing.
