It’s an episode that begs the question… ARE YOU A BIGGER NERD NOW?!!! Approximately ten years ago, the hosts of MONSTER PARTY made a very special visit to a friend and fellow podcaster’s recording studio. The main reason was that this podcaster, who had been a guest on our show, was severely allergic to the cats that roamed the carpets of our own studio. But since this was still in the relatively early days...

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD put on their protective goggles for an episode of true vision. Join us for this pulse-pounding podcast praising petrifying and provocative peepers that we’re proudly promoting as … EYES!!!
A few months back, we had a blast doing an episode called MONSTER TEETH, where we examined every example of chilling chompers that genre films could provide. In fact, this podcast was so much fun, we decided to tackle James Gonis’ worst nightmare. Since the eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the body (sorry, testicles. We’ll get to you some day.), they are the perfect soft target in a horror movie. And what would the reputation of sci-fi and fantasy films be without the occasional bug-eyed monster or rampaging cyclops?
Get ready for an ophthalmic onslaught of awesome orbs, including the slow but inevitable agony featured in Lucio Fulci’s Zombie, the creepy inventiveness of THE CRAWLING EYE, the cybernetic spider from JOHNNY QUEST, and the incandescent absurdity of kid-friendly kaiju, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!
Joining us for this cornea-crushing conversation is a loyal friend and supporter of MONSTER PARTY. He is an absurdly talented writer, actor, improviser, voice artist, journalist, podcaster, and has helped provide names for the world’s best-loved products. You will also know him as the screenwriter for the genre classics, SANTA JR. and MONSTER MAKERS. Please welcome back the man whose eyes we keep getting lost in… MARC HERSHON!
IN YOUR EYE, JAMES GONIS!
