Get ready to kick it old school as 3 Guys and a Flick dive headfirst into the cult classic The Monster Squad! Join us as we revisit this ‘80s gem packed with iconic monsters, unforgettable one-liners, and pure nostalgic chaos.
From Stan Winston’s legendary creature designs to the sharp (and sometimes messy) screenplay by Shane Black and Fred Dekker, the Guys break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this box office underdog rose from the grave to become a fan-favorite classic.
They spotlight standout moments, dig into the heartwarming (and hilarious) dynamic between Phoebe and Frankenstein, uncover behind-the-scenes trivia, and debate the film’s legacy. Plus—honest ratings and listener feedback you won’t want to miss.
Wolfman’s got nards… and this episode’s got bite.
