This episode is a full-blown love letter to Van Helsing (2004) — one of the wildest, horniest, most chaotic monster movies ever made. We break down why this movie absolutely rips: the over-the-top action, the monster designs that surprisingly aged well, the insane lore, the outrageous casting, and the energy that made this film a staple of 2000s TV.

With Dracula, Frankenstein, Mr. Hyde, werewolves, Vatican James Bond technology, Cirque-du-Soleil vampire brides, insane transformations, and Hugh Jackman at full early-2000s power, this movie is everything at once — messy, loud, sexy, and unforgettable.

We talk casting “what-ifs,” the Gabriel lore, the insane brides, the outrageously hot cast, why this movie is secretly Batman 1800s edition, the CGI that holds up, the best scenes, the creature design, and why this film absolutely deserves the cult following it’s picked up over the years.
