Will and Madryn enter The Matrix in another special edition Creature Feature!

First, we unpack the potential simulations of our lives, plug into the Wachowskis influences for this iconic intellectual/action franchise, and rank our favourite Matrix films. Then we talk about our fav performances, quotes, and world-bending moments. Finally, no creature feature is complete without our Best Kill and Top 3 Creatchie (Robot) Awards! Take the red pill, dial in, and see how far this rabbit hole goes!

Will and Madryn go for a deep dive with Mermaids!

We look at the mythical, medieval, and mystical origins of the mermaid, and break down how we got from sea foam to this prolific modern monster. Then we wade through the seas of mermaid pop culture, from peak Tom Hanks performances, to treasure hunting companions. Finally, we’re joined by Nixious (Brandon Knox) who tells us about integrating plastic into merfolk design, speaking in barely audible bubbles, his slick stank, human lurking, and how Mermaids sleep.

Will and Madryn head into the woods of Baba Yaga and other Hags!

We study the haggardly history of this epic unrestrained feminist icon. Master of destiny, or Slavic sociopath? Terrifying trio, or the solo solution to life’s deepest problems? Time will tell. These old crones also make many appearances in pop culture, jumping through Shakespearian seances, witchy TV, family fare, and endless role playing campaigns. Finally, we’re joined by Svetlana (Mona Hillis) who tells us about her incredible house, her lizard beer, dream riding, travel times, and respectful hag terminology. Have A Great Summer!

Will and Madryn level up and go for an adventure in Dungeons and Dragons, in this special edition Creature Feature!

We talk through the basics of the game, and the history of this epic tabletop experience. From Gary Gygax’s influences, to satanic panic, and the great digital gaming beyond! We also look at our fav pop culture, their best quotes, our top moments, top kills, and of course, we give out our Creatchie Awards!

Grab your snacks, and get out your lucky dice, it’s time to get lost in the world of D&D!

Will and Madryn make magic with Mummies! We look at the history of these romantic bandage monsters, and the evolution of their curse. Then we go on an adventure through pop culture, featuring Boris Karloff, Brendan Fraser, and one epic throwback music video. Finally we’re joined by ABA (Brianna Love), a mummy mummy who unwraps their past after waking up in a warehouse, and discovering their jarred organs, burial jewels, hot bean water, and a potentially world ending undead power.

Will and Madryn talk Trolls! We study the history of this classic creature, and its many geological variants, from common bridge dwelling delinquents to giant Jötnars. Then we look at the deep impact Trolls have had on pop culture, including Troll-hunters, wizard fighters, song singers, internet instigators, god fighters, and more! Finally, we’re joined by Trollman Domingo (Gordon Harper) who shows off his landscapes, and discusses light sensitivity, his usual diet, and whether he would do a Spider-Man bridge painting commission for a bag of travel jewels.

Will and Madryn bring Bloody Mary to the pod for a very special episode!

We look at her gruesome origins, freaky folklore, and the star-making pop culture she inspired. Then we summon Bloody Mary herself (5-Timer Christopher Seeney), who tells us about her place in hell, and her favourite pre-death activity, before we throw her a big party in the Monstrology bunker! With appearances by Nick Vardolos the half minotaur half vampire bloodhorn, King Blob, Snow the yeti, and Andy Faris Schwarzenegger Pratt the dinosaur (all played by Chris), plus Eddie the vampire clown and Biggie the bigfoot (Corey Palmer) swing by. Get your cocktails and Pajamas ready, there’s a lot going on in the bathroom… This is a fun one!

We talk about horror’s showing at the 2025 Academy Awards (including a win for The Substance!), what the academy looks for in a horror movie, and the iconic snubs they left behind. Then we go through our top 5 horror films, our top 5 monsters, and our honorary mentions that didn’t quite make the cut.

Will and Madryn follow the light of the Will-o’-the-wisp!

First we illuminate their path through history, going back to the 14th century, and leading travellers astray all over the world! Then we look at the Will-o-wisps appearances in pop culture, from courageous Pixar classics, to absent minded hobbits, and troublemaking video game ghosts. Finally, we head to Blockbuster to meet Emberly (Annabel David) who takes us through their very scary Letterboxd 4, and teaches Will-o-Toronto about their physical form, their potential origin, and their favourite friends and foes…
