Episode Details

What happens when you combine giant Titans, Hollow Earth mysteries, secret organizations, family trauma, AND Kurt Russell being unbelievably cool? You get Monarch: Legacy of Monsters — and today Jim is joined by Roofmistress Leigh-a for a FULL SPOILER discussion of Seasons 1 and 2!

After a brief spoiler-lite setup for newcomers, we dive deep into everything:

🦖 The strengths and weaknesses of the series

🦖 The performances and production quality

🦖 Our favorite Titans and monster moments

🦖 Lee Shaw, Cate, Kentaro, May, and the emotional core of the story

🦖 Hollow Earth lore and MonsterVerse connections

🦖 What worked… and what maybe didn’t

🦖 Our predictions and theories for Season 3

Did Apple TV+ quietly create one of the BEST entries in the entire MonsterVerse? Or does the series still struggle with the same problems as the films?

Let us know YOUR thoughts in the comments:

👉 Favorite Titan?

👉 Favorite character?

👉 Biggest Season 3 prediction?

👉 Is Monarch better than the MonsterVerse movies?
