Monster House (2006)

We’re back to our usual programming over at Ramblin: An Amblin Podcast, and this time we’re taking a precarious walk over old Nebbercracker's front lawn to cautiously enter MONSTER HOUSE, Gil Kenan’s 2006 feature film debut and the second of the Robert Zemeckis-produced motion capture animations. Because we’re a-scared, though, we can’t do it alone, so we’ve enlisted the help of all-time great sister Sophie Glenn to complete our trio.

Together we discuss childhood memories, re-litigate tales of old ladies in the woods and reminisce about the Disney Channel in the mid-noughties. We also find that we have way more to say about this weird, quasi-forgotten little throwback movie than anybody could have reasonably thought.
