Looking for more new episodes? Check out The Pod Universe with Dylan & Dalton!In 2017, Universal Studios announced the birth of a new shared universe of monster movies, bringing their classic horror icons into the contemporary franchise film landscape. But after the critical and financial failure of its first installment, the project was indefinitely abandoned. In 2022, the powers that be have called upon one pulp horror devotee and one snarky film critic to unearth the concept.Over the course of three years and 70 episodes, Dalton Deschain and Dylan Roth completed this daunting task with increasingly obsessive effort. Featuring guest appearances from writers, comedians, and filmmakers like Patrick Willems, Danielle Radford, Gita Jackson, Branson Reese, Abe Goldfarb, Bill Corbett and more, this bootleg Dark Universe exploded from a goofy joke premise to an expansive full-cast, full-score epic.Listen to the complete saga now.
