MONSTER PARTY HAS A CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE WORST KIND!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, experience an other-worldly abduction of taste, logic, and talent. Prepare to take an intergalactic trip to worlds beneath your imagination, as we meet the... WORST ALIENS!

Aliens in films and television come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and it's up to the creative team behind each project to fulfill a sci-fi nerd's outlandish expectations. But sometimes, these artists are not quite up to the task. That's when you get some of the lesser lifeforms in genre favorites, like STAR TREK, STAR WARS, LOST IN SPACE, SPACE:1999, and DOCTOR WHO, as well as numerous other fantastic film flops. We're talkin' space hippies, Muppet rockers, silver bandidos, butt parasites, E.T. ripoffs, L. Ron invaders, and candy-coated creeps, just to name a few!

So what happens behind the scenes to give birth to these outer space atrocities? Is it a lack of a decent budget? Being locked into someone else's uninspired vision? Or is it really that the people in charge simply couldn't be bothered? And does any of that matter? Because for some strange reason beyond our comprehension... some of the worst aliens can be our favorites!

Joining us for this gaudy, galaxy-spanning gabfest is a dear friend of MONSTER PARTY, and someone who knows intuitively how to spot an alien who just isn't "bringing it". She's an award-winning writer, producer, actor, and comedian, but we like to think of her as a transporter-beamed dollop of delight! Please welcome back... SUE MURPHY! (CHELSEA LATELY, CHELSEA, WANDA AT LARGE, WANDA DOES IT, THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW, THE SOUP, COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS, THE JEFF FOXWORTHY SHOW, STAR WARS: EWOKS)

IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THE WORST ALIENS, DON'T FEEL BAD. REMEMBER, IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR THE HATERS.

IN THIS THUNDERDOME OF AUDIO, MONSTER PARTY HAS ALL YOUR "THUNDER DOS" AND "THUNDER DON'TS!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, make a spectacle of their latest topic! Get out of those cheap seats and head down to the virtual V.I.P. section for a gladiatorial gala glorifying... ARENAS!!!

When it comes to genre films, an arena can often be the perfect stage for a pivotal moment of drama. Whether it's in a classical coliseum of a sword and sandal fantasy, an alien world where two civilizations battle it out for survival, or an island perfectly suitable for a teenage slaughter, the concept of "bread and circuses" just keeps fighting on. 

In this episode, MONSTER PARTY will explore the various cinematic takes on arenas, in some of our favorite and not-so-favorite films and TV shows. Entering the zone of battle will be the likes of STAR WARS, STAR TREK, THE MCU, THE OUTER LIMITS, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, MAD MAX, LOGAN'S RUN, ROLLERBALL, THE HUNGER GAMES, BATTLE ROYALE, GAME OF THRONES, STEPHEN KING, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, SPACE 1999, and many more!

LIFE'S ARENA IS HARD. SO WHY NOT LET MONSTER PARTY TURN THAT THUMBS DOWN INTO A THUMBS UP?!
