On the eve of a new film, hosts Coleman and Kyle dive into the cult phenomenon 'Cloverfield' and its impact on the film industry and giant monster movies in general.

Abrams and company Bad Robot have pulled on us. Either way, we're excited to see the new film and to have this series continue, even if we're hesitant on the direction it might be going. At least it's given everyone an excuse to go back and check out the excellent first film!
