Creature Double Feature: From Camp to Cool!
Manage episode 517831171 series 3675999
Grab your popcorn and dim the lights — this week on Original Geek, we’re firing up the old TV set for a trip back to Creature Double Feature! 👾
Steve and Jeff dig into the evolution of the movie monster — from the campy rubber suits of the 70s to the CGI behemoths that crush cities (and box offices) today. We’re talking Godzilla, Gill-Man, Dracula, Demogorgons, and the glorious weirdness that made monster flicks a geek rite of passage.
Expect laughs, nostalgia, and maybe a few jump scares as we break down:
🧟♂️ The golden age of Creature Features
🎥 How monster movies mirrored their eras
💀 Why practical effects still beat CGI
🧬 And the monsters that defined generations of geeks
Whether you grew up hiding behind the couch or cheering for the Kaiju, this episode’s for you.
🎧 Original Geek — for everyone who rolled their first d20 on shag carpet.

Welcome to Original Geek—the podcast for anyone who rolled their first d20 on shag carpet, waited hours for a comic book JPEG to load on dial-up, and wore the label “geek” back when it got you mocked, not monetized.
Hosted by stand-up comic Steve Scarfo and Forever DM Jeff Shaw, we dive deep into what it meant to be a geek in the '70s and '80s—and how that underground culture became the mainstream multiverse we live in today.
