Paul McComas returns to Monster Kid Radio this week to regale us with a story of the time he saw King Kong IN PERSON! King Kong - Alive on Broadway ran from 2018-2019 in New York, and Paul and his wife attended one of the performances. The memories made that night have lasted with Paul, and he shares those memories with Derek.

Monster Kid Radio #524 - 3 Dev Adam with Chris McMillan
Monster Kid Radio
Lucha de Mayo 2021 concludes when Chris McMillan returns for another . . . kinda-sorta luchador movie? 1973's 3 Dev Adam, aka Three Giant Men (dir. T. Fikret Uçak) is the movie on deck today, and it's a Turkish film featuring El Santo . . . and his buddy Captain America fighting evil Spider-Man. WHAT?!? During their conversation, Derek almost flashes back to a previous podcasting life when, for some reason or other, Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead comes up.
