Mutant ape-human hybrids and mad scientists may sound like a recipe for wild fun, but does the B-movie flick “The Rise of the Beast” deliver?
The Rise of the Beast (2022) | 1 hr 17 min | Monster Horror
Join Jamie, Patrick, and Steph as they embark on a wild expedition through the depths of Tubi’s horror catalog, spinning the infamous Roulette of Despair.
This time, the theme is ”Animal Horror,” leading to a discussion of the bizarre film The Rise of the Beast, where a group of activists uncovers the terrifying consequences of animal testing gone wrong. As they dive into the film’s outrageous premise, the hosts dissect the absurdities of its plot, featuring a genetically modified gorilla wreaking havoc in a high-tech facility.
After dissecting this B-movie trashterpiece and delivering a dramatic film (hilariously bad) re-enactment, they offer up their suggestions for great, underrated animal horror films on Tubi you may have missed.
Finally, play along with them in a hilarious game of ”Beast or Bullshit,” where the hosts test their knowledge of outrageous B-movie horror/mutant monster film titles and plots. If you want to test your own knowledge before the show, head here.
Take a ciggy break and join us for another unforgettable journey into Tubi’s most obscure and monstrous hidden horrors.

Mining the dark depths of Tubi for undiscovered gems
Untold Horrors: Curse of the Crimson Altar
This week, the Tubi Roulette Wheel demanded a sacrifice at the altar of Hammer Horror. We obey by descending into the eerie, fog-drenched world of Curse of theCrimson Altar (1968), a film that promises psychedelic thrills, a stacked genre cast, and a nod to Lovecraftian horror.
Join us as we break down the film’s wild visuals, gothic atmosphere, questionable choices, off-putting protagonist, and the powerhouse duo of Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff.
But that’s not all! We also offer some killer movie recommendations, debate the merits of Catnado, attempt a dramatic reading that goes wildly off the rails, and play a rousing game of Hammer Horror Mad Libs.
BONUS: Immerse yourself in the psychedelic, occult vibes of Curse of the Crimson Altar with the perfect sonic companion to our latest episode.
