Grab your garlic and silver bullets, because we're diving headfirst into the nostalgic abyss of 'The Monster Squad' in this spooky episode! 👻 Join us as we dissect this cult classic with the precision of a Van Helsing, exploring its '80s charm, Shane Black's witty dialogue, and those oh-so-relatable childhood friendships. We'll unpack everything from questionable plot points and monster mayhem to the lasting impact of child actors and the film's surprising lack of star power. Plus, we'll tackle those burning questions: Is Rudy the true hero? Could this film ever get a reboot? And just how many times can you watch Dracula get his butt kicked before it gets old? (Spoiler: It never gets old.) So gather 'round the digital campfire, fellow Squad members, and let's unleash the nostalgia beast!
