Published: July 18, 2017, 6:02 a.m.

Episode 91 May surprise you a bit. Your hosts talk about “Forbidden Planet” (1956) and all the incredible efforts that went into making a standout science fiction movie that was way ahead of it’s time. “Wait, what? You JUST admitted the featured movie is science fiction, NOT horror!” you say. Well, your hosts possess that same grasp of the obvious. There will first be a discussion of “Horror/Not Horror” and what defines this beloved genre. And, if that’s not enough, “Forbidden Planet” has a murderous monster on the loose as a sub-plot…so, there’s that. Need more scares? Will tells you about a sketchy motel with a sand-filled swimming pool. Have the owners given up completely or do they have secrets buried therein? Maybe it’s best to just check out early and get back on the road! Jolyon has some less frightening stories about Gumby and Richard does his best to control a wild Chihuahua. Are you more impressed with an awesome robot or faster-than-light travel? It doesn't matter, this movie gives you both! It also has a beautiful woman! Just one, though. There’s also a handsome, young Leslie Nielsen! Now, get ready to put the ancient Krell smartening device on your cranium and learn a thing or two. Just don’t forget about conjuring monsters from the id! #horror #horrormovies #horrornerd #horroraddict #horrorjunkie #monsterkid #bmovie #scarymovies #monstermovie #podcast #chewingthescenery #zombies #zombie #VHS #moviemonsters #freepodcast #denver #colorado #forbiddenplanet #leslienielsen #annefrancis #walterpidgeon #robbytherobot #scifi #horrornothorror #itcamefromthe50s #1956
