Episode Description

Sure, Van Helsing can face off against the greatest monsters of all time. However, what can he do against the powers of a terrible script and hideous CG? Thomas and Bryan are here to find out for the fourth episode of their Blockbuster mini-series all about Stephen Sommers' egregiously bad summer 2004 flop Van Helsing! Together, our duo will answer the crucial questions. Could a Dark Universe ever work? How did Shrek clearly influence Van Helsing's visual aesthetic? Who else goes as hard as Richard Roxburgh? Well, stake that vampire through the heart with your crossbow so you can listen to find out!
