Two (shorter) Monster Sciences for the price of one! “The Monsters of the MIA” – a complete history of the mythological creatures depicted in the art of Minneapolis’ premier fine art museum! And “A World Full of Monsters” – the monsters of the films of Guillermo del Toro! Both shows that have only appeared at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, brought back to life to terrorize the living!
Opening entertainment by Kayla Sotebeer!

Earlier this year, your pal the Reverend had the singular honor of being a guest on the extraordinary Xanadu Cinema Pleasure Dome podcast. Those of you who already listen to same, of course, already know this. Those of you who do not, well, first of all you need to get right with it, and second of all let me tell you what it’s all about: Xanadu CPD is the work of the inestimable Melissa Kaercher and Windy Bowlsby, who sit around and talk about movies whilst getting drunker and drunker. Generally they talk about a whole series or category of movie in each episode.
So I went and saw “Pacific Rim.” Thought I’d say a few words about it. Here they are! Hope you like it!
