In 1953, director Eugene Lourie directed one of the most influential monster movies of the century with "The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms". In 1959, he returned to unofficial take his hit and try and do it again with THE GIANT BEHEMOTH or BEHEMOTH: THE SEA MONSTER. With the help of effects master Willis O'Brien, would Lourie garner the same success with this one as he did with "Beast"? Let's find out, this week on THE MONSTER ZONE.

Episode 225: We're back with an all-new season and we couldn't like of a better way to start it than by diving into more IT. We welcome back our friend and fellow podcaster Anna of The Barrens Hideout Podcast and Give Me Back My Action and Horror Movies to help us break down this massive miniseries. This time we travel back to 1990, where the first attempt to bring the iconic novel took place. From the direction of Tommy Lee Wallace, the effects that blew our minds 36 years ago, and the masterful performance of Tim Curry, does Stephen King's IT still hold up? Let's find out this week on the Dissect That Film Podcast.

For our final episode of 2025, we venture to 2016, to a time where a movie is made not just about a monster, but what it is to be a monster, with COLOSSAL. Parker and Dan dive into the Anne Hathaway led metaphorical monster movie that begs the question, how do we stop ourselves from becoming monsters? Let that sink in this week on THE MONSTER ZONE.
