This week on Man Made Monstercast, we’re cracking open the vault for a throwback episode—a former Patreon exclusive—and revisiting the peak conansploitation trash-classic: Deathstalker. It’s got everything: a greasy anti-hero with main-character immunity, barbarian beefcake bravado, sorcerers doing the absolute most, cheap magic effects, sweaty arena nonsense, and that unmistakable “we shot this on a budget of a ham sandwich” drive-in energy. If you like your sword-and-sorcery loud, dumb, mean, and gloriously VHS, saddle up—this one’s a time capsule.

In this episode of Man Made Monstercast, r0b dives headfirst into conansploitation chaos with Ator, the Fighting Eagle—an Italian sword-and-sorcery oddity from Joe D’Amato. A prophecy-marked baby, a Spider Cult, an adoption-loophole romance, Amazons, a horny witch detour, the hilariously named Shield of Mordor, and—because this movie refuses to behave—a bear cub sidekick. Then it all climaxes with a full-on giant spider boss fight, complete with rope-web set dressing that looks more nautical than arachnid and practical creature effects that proudly show their strings. If you like your fantasy grimy, ridiculous, and deeply VHS, this one’s for you.

A deep dive into the 1933 masterpiece - King Kong!

Hail to the King!

So... What does r0b think? Is it what the weirdo's on both sides of the internet are saying?

I'm back with my first episode in quite a while! Be gentle! I'm rusty!

This is a little different. I'm finally tackling some of my favorite films. This is a bit more stripped down and conversational. Hope you enjoy!

Was this film based on true events? Will Franklin stop being an annoying dickcheese? Where the hell has r0b been? Who will survive and what will be left of them!?

All this and more... check it out.

I mean... I'm not wrong.

Anyways, trying to make up for lost time, so here's two episodes in one weekend!

Enjoy as I go all in on the 1990 pilot episode of The Flash!
