Monster in the Closet (1986)

Happy Halloween! We're joined by returning guest (and lover of
schlock) Christian Larson to talk about Troma's 1986 film Monster
in the Closet. Shot in 1983 (but released three years later), this
kids movie (?) marks the film debut of Paul Walker (and also Stacy
"Fergie" Ferguson). We talk about our history with Troma, the
movie's sort of surprising tone, and its earworm (or not) xylophone
song. We explore Paul Walker's star turn (and his character's
multiple Nobel prizes?!), the movie having simply too many
professors, and the incredible kid logic of its ending. We discuss
whether movie is actually a gay allegory, why Guy Maddin may have
used it in The Green Fog, and its wild "special thanks" list. Email
