MonoRants @The Movies115: Van Helsing (2004)We're back to that early 2000's sweet spot of Action/Fantasy/Horror that we love so much with 2004's critically panned (unless you're Roger Ebert) "Van Helsing". So grab your stake gun and join us for a rant about the film taking itself way more seriously than we do, so much CGI (but it's still no Spawn), an overly dramatic Dracula, a more philosophical Adam, cool little Boggart dudes and a Werewolf with some serious Fabio hair Follow us on BlueSky @monorants, Twitter @rantsmono, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send your own rants to mo...

MonoRants @The Movies113: Urban Legend (1998)We're back to movies (and, you know, in general) this week and Mono needed a palette cleanser so we watched a bunch of teens get murdered in elaborate ways in 1998's "Urban Legend". So grab one of the many available parkas and join us for a rant about getting the most out of your character actors, punishing the wrong person, some timely hating on Jared Leto, defending goths, respecting fairies, and the problem with urban legends these days.

MonoRants @The Movies112: Pretty Little Liars Pilot (2010)Well we made it to the end of Teen Drama Month and Mono has had his fill, with the final straw being the Pretty Little Liars Pilot episode. So join us for a rant about confusing openings, unlikeable characters, dodgy relationships, A's unbelievable omniscience, a not fat fat girl, Ciara overloading Mono with info and Mono being made feel nostalgic for Twilight

MonoRants @The Movies111: Shadowhunters Pilot (2016)Week 3 of teen drama torture for Mono and things aren't going to plan. We couldn't find the show we planned and then Monzo really enjoyed the back up show. So find out what got mono interested in the Shadowhunters pilot in this rant about trying too hard, being both camp and dark & gritty, some solid world building, a bunch incredibly beautiful & highly skilled loose cannons all under 20 and Ciara trying to spoil everything for Mono.

MonoRants @The Movies110: The Vampire Diaries Pilot (2009)It's week two of Mono's unwilling journey into teen drama. This week is a little more his flavour because it involves vampires (yay) that fall in love with teenagers (oh no). It's the pilot episode of The Vampire Diaries and a rant about the scale of annoyance, meeting vampires outside toilets, updating Buffy, why Stefan is marginally better than Edward and mono shattering any illusion of enjoyment on the second watch.

MonoRants @The Movies109: Gossip Girl Pilot (2007)It's March, and March means Ciara gets to punish Mono with trash films, or this year; trash TV shows. So join us for the first of Mono's journey into teen drama TV. We're kicking things off with a rant about the Gossip Girl pilot and why Ciara loves it, whether it's dated, why everything revolves around Serena, Gossip Girl herself being insufferable, the shows "poor" kids and Mono not having anything to hate.

So much so that we went No Spoilers to talk obscure Czech comedy/sci-fi "I Killed Einstein, Gentlemen". So don't shave that beard and join us for a rant about Cleo the cat, more horse and carriage rescues, easy to pronounce names, a stupidly short Wikipedia page, a ridiculously satisfying ending and futuristic Selfie Sticks from the past.

We're looking at 1981's absurd family film "Time Bandits" and ranting about Kevin's dick parents, Napol-Ian Holm, not knowing our royals from our rectums, wanting more Pansy & Vincent and the best god/devil combo in comedy.

It's 1989's "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" & a rant about the bromance of Billy the Crates, confusing school with the mall, very loose (but very fun) time travel rules, not getting enough Rufus, the synth pop/cock rock discrepancy and a short history if ice cream.

Roll up some Roman Red and join us for a rant about the unsurpassable Madeline Kahn, the always welcome Spike Milligan, the again absent Richard Pryor, a heavy Roman focvs, different tiers of Mel's films and why this film ages better than a sequel that came 42 years later.

MonoRants @The Movies101: This Island Earth (1955)We're sticking with 50's Sci-Fi for the month (you know, because it's so Christmas-y). But we've got something with a little bit more meat (and forehead) this week in 1955's "This Island Earth". So assemble your Interocitor and tune it in to this rant about early versions of sci-fi tropes, , a complete disregard for safety, how people in the past look older, a very useless mutant and a proto Hal Jordan that you just can't hate.

So grab your Focusing Disintegrator Ray and join us for a rant about the most B-movie a sci-fi can be, stiff skeletons, DEREK the alien, Space-Nazis, wondering where the commie fear is, some occasionally proper sci-fi and why a man failing to cross the road is one of Mono's favourite cinematic moments.

That's right; it's time for the beautiful mix of Airplane and South Park that is 1998's BASEketball. So join us in the hot tub (the playmate of the year one, not the spinning one) for this rant about overall preferring this over Dodgeball (with one exception), surprisingly little South Park, wanting more live action Matt & Trey, a slow act two, an excellent Robert Stack cameo and the always awesome "Aw Aww".

MonoRants @The Movies98: The Prestige (2006)This one is long overdue here at MonoRants. We've threatened it for ages but finally got around to talking our favourite Christopher Nolan film "The Prestige". So watch closely (even though it's a podcast) and join us for a rant about how hard it is to summarise this film, obsession and the cycle of revenge, early foreshadowing and bittersweet endings, the many mysteries to uncover and Tesla as the mystic of the mountain.

MonoRants @The Movies97: Ghost Ship (2002)The sea is a fickle mistress, and so are streaming platforms. With Desperado nowhere to be found, we turn to a previous streaming no show that's now available. This week it's 2002's "Ghost Ship" and a rant about the inevitable Event Horizon comparisons, one hell of an opener, characters that are kinda just there, a villain who raises more questions than they answer, Gabriel Byrne getting shafted and the appropriate place for Nu-Metal in movies.

MonoRants @The Movies96: Beetlejuice (1988)We saved the best til last this Halloween as we cover one of Ciaras all time favourites in 1988's "Beetlejuice". It's showtime for this rant about the cartoon series, not realising Beetlejuice IS the villain, not reading your damn handbook, incredible sets, a one of a kind performance, kind of janky stop motion, a seriously moany Lydia and why we'll never ever cover Ferris Bueller.

MonoRants @The Movies95: American Psycho (2000)You like Huey Lewis and The News? We don't really, but we love the satirical takedown of the excess of the 80's that is "American Psycho". So go get us a reservation and then settle in for a rant about not getting the film back then, not getting the controversy now, why Jean survives, the importance of fitting in (with your shitty friends) & Fantasy Vs Reality and why it really doesn't matter.

Scandinavian Humour is an odd beast but bear poaching is no joke in this rant about a found footage nature doc, Folksy Trolls, sneaky Metalocalypse references, one very accepting cameraperson and a grouchy employee becoming a tragic hero.

Join us down in the dirt with the little people for a rant about not hiding your twist, clever courtroom antics, having no sympathy for the devil but appreciating both a pale green death and a Satan who doesn't lie (but does channel George Carlin).

It's Sam Rockwell's first (and second) appearance on the podcast this week as he carries this film all by himselves. It's all clones and evil corporations with 2009's Moon and a rant about getting more with every rewatch, Good Guy Gerty, menacing rescue thugs, crappy IMDb reviews, loving miniatures and who the best deep space insanity avoidance companion is.

So get ready to be forever young with this rant about an almost hidden Fabio, fantastic performances all round, pushing a good gag too far, SFX that can (mostly) hold its head high, Paul Rudd drinking the potion IRL and Mono discovering new and unexpected... feelings for Meryl Streep.

MonoRants @The Movies90: The Faculty (1998)School's back from summer and Mono wanted to revisit his teen years with a high school alien invasion film that Ciara had never seen. This week we're looking at 1998's ridiculously fun Sci-Fi/Horror "The Faculty" and ranting about an insane school with even more insane staff, the joy of Robert Patrick running, tropey teens with a twist, a packed cast list, great pacing and our apparent shared phobia of automatically closing bleachers.

It's time for 1996's "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America" and a rant about a journey film where nothing is gained or learned, the general idiocy of teenage boys, the awesomeness of late 90's MTV, the trouble with TV in Ireland and why the ATF showing up is never a good thing.

So join us again for a rant about dodgy Ben Kingsley, inconsistent empaths, useless anthropologists, realistic zoom & enhance, a healthy dollop of Giger weirdness and nice guys who are creepy vs creepy guys who are nice.

So hop on your solar powered jet bike for this rant about throwing stupid stones, a world we love but want more of, Ninja Cowboy Priests, fun Hive Vampires, implying a whole lot, Japanese theatre, Flagellation devices and Mono learning the meaning of a Soiled Dove.

MonoRants @The Movies61: Universal Soldier (1992)We're back to movies this week and ready to wait 25 years to reanimate dead troops with 1992's "Universal Soldier". It's got everything; action, suspense, explosions, Truck! We hope you're all ears for this rant about fun psycho Dolph, a much darker original cut, minimal effort sci-fi jargon, an ass-off between JCVD and Mark Dacascos, wondering whether the Universal soldiers are cyborgs or zombies and the importance of self preservation instincts. And Truck.

MonoRants @The MoviesRecommends... Gormenghast with TadhgWe're trying something (barely) different this week and recommending a TV show you may not have seen. We've brought in some help in the form of non-podcaster and old old friend to us both, Tadhg, to cover the BBC's adaption of Mervyn Peake's seminal fantasy of manners novel, Gormenghast. So escape the kitchens for this rant about absurd yet fantastic characters, a seriously impressive cast, an incredibly rich world from no place or time, striking the right balance with tone, ragging on The Predator and Mono hating falsettos.

MonoRants @The Movies60: Intermission (2003)We're sticking close to home this week. In fact, we've only gone next door to Dublin for our third Irish film with 2003's fast talking, bus crashing, Ronnie wearing "Intermission". Put a squirt of brown sauce in your cuppa and settle in for a rant about the Dublin-iest dialogue, the general lack of respect for the police, little b*stard kids, what a ronnie is and other Irish slang, Oscar the actually nice guy and the Real great leveller in Ireland: making false insurance claims against Dublin Bus.

It's message boards, dial-up and rollerblades as we Hack the Planet with 1995's cyberpunk classic "Hackers". So if you wanna be elite, you'd better listen to this rant about holding up remarkably well, giving yourself nicknames, knowing real life Mr The Plague's, Freak & Cereal being just the best, Kate being an Acid Bitch, skateboards meaning you're old, Homing from Work and the top three things to scream out a squad car window.

MonoRants @The Movies58: Alien Vs Predator: Requiem (2007)We take a look at our first sequel this week and it's maybe sorta kinda possibly not so great. But we always try and focus on the good here at MonoRants, and there definitely is some in 2007's "Alien Vs Predator: Requiem". So grab some night vision goggle (they'll be about as much use for podcast listening as they were in the film) and join us for a rant about... unfulfilled trilogy hopes, ALL the 'Starga-natural' actors, everyone getting it, Xenomorph biology lessons, a Moot Predator and having too many characters but still wondering "What happened to the rest...

MonoRants @The Movies56: Saw (2004)We want to Play a game this week on MonoRants. But there are rules. Very ill defined rules and equally shady motivation in 2004's escape room gore fest, "Saw". We mostly love it, but we have some issues. Find out what as you hack your way into this rant about excellent foreshadowing, poor choice in victims, which victim has it worst, the limitations of cancer patients in undertaking complex mechanical construction projects, getting your partner killed and one inevitably very awkward post movie corridor encounter.

Instead we're looking at the gore filled horror-western that is 1998's Vampires. Mono loves it, Ciara thinks it's a different film and both can't get over how badly poor Katrina is treated. So lather up and shave your ass for this rant about the serious mistreatment of women depicted (honestly not a joke, its bad), punching head wounds, moaning about motels, planning a better vampire hunt than the professionals, awesome winch deaths, terribly cauterized wounds, dick shots and the lesser spotted...

MonoRants @The Movies53: The Running Man (1987)It's Arnie's turn on MonoRants as we take a trip to the far off dystopian future of 2017/19. That's right, it's loads of wrestlers, tiny cars and gratuitous televised deaths with 1987's The Running Man. So grab your bread and join this circus for a rant about whether Arnie is a character in the movie or just IN the movie, Mono's (apparent) least favourite choreographer, Ciara's favourite trope, our favourite childhood violent game, the origins of Smash Tv, a fantastically constructed world and one bad, bad, bad bad, bad Amy.

MonoRants @The Movies42: The Warriors (1979)Listeners, come out to play-ay! We're taking on an all time classic in MonoRants style this week with 1979's "The Warriors". Can You Dig It? We certainly did and could barely contain our praise in this rant about Snitchy Djs, Ajax being a shit, ballsy newspaper girls, Ajax being a shit, a great speech with some bad Maths, aging differently in the 70's, becoming a videogame movie and who the prettiest Warrior is. Oh and Ajax being a shit.

If you haven't seen the film we try to sell you on it in the first half, but if you have you can listen in full to this rant about the overall size of turkeys, Gropey Ole Lou, the limitless internet of 1998, the endlessly sexy Denzel, Mono nailing the summary and waffling about cream and a top tier "Emperor's New Groove" reference from Ciara.

Underworld (2003) with John from 100 Things We Learned From Film PodcastMono has the unenviable task of reining in two co-hosts this week as we complete the set and are joined by John from 100 Things We Learned From Film Podcast. We're talking vampires, vampires and more vampires (werewolves too) in one of our favourite vampire films with 2003's "Underworld". So squeeze into your latex catsuit and join us for a rant about that soundtrack (obviously), weedy Wentworth, updating the horror classics, the complete lack of vampire films in the 2000's, the complete lack of Scots in this film and the complete lack of interest in Scott (Speedman).

We're at odds with the critics once again, as we do our best to point out that it's a damn good flick in this rant about gooey hyper-sleep, the space crazies, severed feet, striking the right balance of sci-fi & horror, Mono's choice between two horrible deaths and a bunch of Futurama references for some reason.

This week we're talking one of our favourite Peter Jackson films and it ain't Braindead; it's 1996's comedy horror "The Frighteners". We both feel this film (mostly) holds up really well after 26 years, so clean up that ectoplasm and get ready for a rant about Frank's shitty driving, an even shittier cover song, memorable side characters, judging Judge, Mono's cognitive dissonance and why you shouldn't prioritise personal hygiene over personal safety.

Ciara is fairly clear on why she loves it, but find out what Mono thinks about seeing his first Jennifer Lopez film in this rant about stunning visuals, some pointless guys from the FBI, Assassin's Creed Serial Killer Edition, Vincent D'Onofrio's 'elevated' performance and one particularly stupid DVD cover quote.

Don't let what we have to say fool you, we really do love this film... really! Though that might not be immediately obvious in this rant about hating on Prometheus, ninja helicopters, sliced Salmon, Tommy Flanagan's hair, inexplicably missing experts, Mono going on one about ancient alien BS and Ciara acing the first ever MonoRants quiz.

It's Josh Hartnett's second appearance in a MonoRants movie and this time he's here to show us he can do a lot if you actually give him a character.

It's Christophe Gans' second film to get the ranty treatment and he brings with him one of MonoRants favourite asses (and the actor attached to it). We found it a bit hard to stay on track even for us this week, but you'll figure that out pretty quickly in this rant about Mono getting fixated on a furry trout, Ciara hunting for a fight coordinator's name, a cockney brothel in rural France, the inevitable...

So jump into a familiar yet different episode about deconstructionist superhero tales as we rant sexy AF 19th Century psychologists, a laughably far off Doomsday Clock, a mechanical owl that poops heroes, the two most important characters being the most boring, Jackie Earle Haley being awesome (who I've just realised we call Healey the whole time) and why killing...

He doesn't manage to keep us on track any more than we normally are as we talk more about Irish culture than the feckin film.

We really think this one still holds up in 2022 as a punchy and visually stunning alt superhero movie, with one of the best bastards ever.

This week we're ranting Japanese cult classic 'Battle Royale'. 22 years on and we are still discovering new things about this film. Find out what we learned in this rant where Mono defends The Hunger Games and then nearly Doxxes himself, while Ciara gets jealous of anime hair and compares the government of the film to the Catholic Church. We also discuss interpretive uses of scythes, excellent set-ups and call-backs, and why you don't write suicide notes before Autoerotic Asphyxiation.

Another Neil Marshall film, another fast paced riot (albeit with a sudden trip to the dark ages that we bloody love). Full of some of our favourite actors and villains, it's pretty obvious why we love this film in this rant about the inevitable Covid and Brexit comparisons, Englands historical revisionism, the finer points of cooking people (including how long it would take to cook Ciara) and which gang we'd join in the apocalypse; if the previous...

MonoRants @The Movies13. District 13 (2004)We're back to good old fashioned action this week with 2004's District 13. Mostly known for introducing Parkour to the world, this punchy action film has a lot more to offer than a gimmick. Despite its short runtime and probably because it reminds Mono of his Glory Days, this is an all time favourite here at MonoRants. So Jump/Flip/Vault into a rant about incredible chase sequences, crappy American remakes, a Father Ted reference straight out of the gate and a very important Public Service Announcement about the Dubbing this film (and in general).

Filled with bad acting, ridiculous action and a nonsense plot, we just can't understand why we adore this hot mess.

So why not listen to two massively ill equipped Arts graduates discuss theoretical physics like they have a clue in a rant about realistic spaceships, getting high on the sun, asshole shipmates, that third act switch up and why this film isn't more popular.

Much more than just a 'Shaun' knock off; we might just prefer it. Find out why in this mostly non spoiler rant about the lesser spotted zombie killing weapons, stereotyping nations, trolling your friends in your last days, Mono's intricate notes and well researched history lesson, and Ciara's incredibly heavy podcast workload.

This groovy satanic witch film has a lot going for it, but it's not without faults. So get your broom out (there's no brooms in this film) for a rant about the general lack of witch movies, shitting on black metal, Mono being in favour of expectorating on newborns, Ciara defending satanic witches, and repeated references to our increasingly bizarre library.

We were so excited to talk about this film we found it hard to stay on track; but ramble with us for a semi-spoilery rant about Nokia 3210's, Mono dying on a hill with Chris DeBurgh, Ciara wishing death on people who mistreat retail/restaurant staff, and THE best ending to any film ever!
