Jeff Rauseo, Kristy PuchkoOriginally produced by Kanopy Production in 2025.Welcome back to THE FILM LIBRARY, a Kanopy podcast where we dig into cinematic oddities, unforgettable characters, and genre gems that deserve a second look—no film degree required. This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film lover, movie marathoner, and lifelong believer that the truth is out there) face off in a genre showdown between monsters that crawl from the shadows and visitors from beyond the stars. Join them as they explore everything from creature features that wreak havoc on cities to alien tales that challenge our understanding of humanity, it’s a battle of the bizarre. Kristy unleashes a trio of monster tales that span from gothic romance and grotesque transformations to a giant river-dwelling creature that terrorizes a city. Meanwhile, Jeff takes us on a journey through alien encounters, from low-budget splatterfests and existential comedies to a linguistically rich first-contact drama that asks what it really means to communicate. Whether you're into monster mayhem or visitors from beyond the stars, this episode is packed with thrills, chills, and a few laughs along the way. So grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and let the genre games begin.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
