Episode 88: ‘Attack of the Crab Monsters’ & ‘Island Claws’ | Ft. Damon Noyes | Patreon Episode

The Monster Island Film Vault

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Our first Patreon episode of season four—courtesy of executive producer Damon Noyes—is also MIFV’s first double feature and includes our first Roger Corman movie! First, we tackle Corman’s 1957 “classic,” Attack of the Crab Monsters, which could be called a “B-movie to a B-movie.” While it starts off as a typical atomic age creature feature, to Nate’s surprise, it goes full-tilt crazy at the halfway point. Then he and Damon get to Island Claws, a 1980 “pseudo-remake” that is so obscure, the internet barely knows it exists. While it’s technically better than “Corman's Crabs,” it isn't as memorable—until Nate and Damon rewrite it live! They top off their discussions with a quick overview of carcinisation...because the future is crabs.
