Tara Erickson, John Humphrey & Greg Alba enter 1920s Hollywood for their Minions & Monsters full movie reaction, review, and breakdown of Illumination’s latest Despicable Me prequel! New Minions James and Henry crash a silent-film set, become unexpected silver-screen stars, and eventually decide to create their own monster epic using a magical spellbook and some very real creatures. From the Minions’ accidental screen debut and outrageous Hollywood mansion parties to the arrival of "talkies," Goomi’s summoning, and a chaotic monster production spiraling completely out of control, Tara, John & Greg experience the animation, slapstick, and cinematic mayhem!

Directed by Pierre Coffin (Despicable Me, Minions) and written by Coffin and Brian Lynch (The Secret Life of Pets), Minions & Monsters features Pierre Coffin as James, Henry, and the Minions, Trey Parker as Goomi (South Park, Despicable Me 3), Allison Janney as Olivia (I, Tonya), Christoph Waltz as Max (Inglourious Basterds), Jeff Bridges as Frank and Elwood (The Big Lebowski), Jesse Eisenberg as Dort (The Social Network), Zoey Deutch as Debbie (Zombieland: Double Tap), Bobby Moynihan as Phillips (Saturday Night Live), and Phil LaMarr as Howard (Futurama).
Tara, John & Greg discuss James and Henry’s dynamic, the vibrant Old Hollywood setting, silent-film homages, Pierre Coffin’s iconic Minion performances, Trey Parker’s Lovecraftian Goomi, John Powell’s score, the creative monster designs, and how this adventure compares with Minions, The Rise of Gru, and the broader Despicable Me universe!
