    Regarding White Noise, instead of birds, which I don’t have any particular objections to, if Paul’s son is into Thomas the Tank Engine, YouTube has a lot of great ASMR train sounds. For my son, I usually pick “train in the rain.” There are tons of videos. They generally have a nice rhythmic quality with the pleasant hush of the rain. It also allows your son to imagine riding on one of the Steamies of Sodor as he drifts off to sleep.

    I’ve been putting it on for my eldest for years, and he’s always really enjoyed it.

    I play a train sound sometimes to put my kids to sleep

    lol- Shenanigans! Rolling a cigar is an art! I refuse to believe Mr Hyde took the time out of murdering "12 men, 6 women, 4 children, three goats" and massacring poultry to properly age tobacco leaves and case them. That being said, a Van Helsing prequel featuring Mr Hyde as an apprentice torcedor is a something I would very much like to see. :P   

     Although it’s not an exact comparison in the comics of league of extraordinary gentlemen Jekyll did have clothes and whatnot that were made to fit Hyde. So if this really is a similar situation my guess is Jekyll  had that stuff ready for Hyde to wear and smoke

    This will probably come off as a bit nitpicky, but it's a personal bugaboos so I'm going to point it out. 

    When we are introduced to Mr. Hyde, we are shown that he's this hulking brute of a monster that appears to be about 3 ft. taller than Van Helsing with a head that is easily 3 times as large.

    Now, I have no problem with the fact that most of Hyde's clothes are still on him. Years of reading and watching the Incredible Hulk has given me pretty unreasonable expectations and a certain tolerance for extreme pant waist elasticity. Hell, it doesn't bother me that when he grows his pants are somehow loose enough that he actually has to pull his pants up to cover his butt crack (also, incidentally, confirming that Dr Jekyll goes commando).

    No, what bothers me is the fact that the cigar he is smoking is somehow proportionate to his increased mass and not to a normal human. How does that work? Where the Hell was he able to scrounge up a cigar the length of a adult man's femur?

    Quite simple actually he rolled his own

    As a book nerd, I recently reread Dracula. I can tell you that Van Helsing’s given name is neither Gabriel nor Pam. It is Abraham and he is Dutch. I sort of like the idea of what kind of monsters he hunted when he was younger, before the events of Dracula (where he is supposed to be old). But this deviates so much from the source material that it can’t even be followed. Maybe we need a reboot. I think Nikolaj Coster-Waldau could do it. He’s Dutch, right? 

    And isn’t Abraham Van Helsing as a character fairly popular and recognizable? I don’t understand why they changed his name from Abraham to Gabriel and then expected it to not be noticed or matter. It’s not as if they couldn’t make him the angel Gabriel and Abraham Van Helsing be his name he took after he lost his memory.

    This movie seems pieced together from other concepts of monster hunting characters.  Mr. Hyde is clearly a rip off from  The league of extraordinary gentlemen, and Van Helsing’s hat Seems like a rip off of Solomon Kane. Also is there any connection to this van Helsing and the character from Dracula? 

    I remember when this movie came out and I thought it was going to be like a Dracula prequel or something.

    So first time poster here. But I'm not going to lie, I was not all that shocked by the director's attitude and I was stunned to hear June so rattled. You mean that a director of a 1970/80's schlock-fest was only in to get young actresses naked? That's so obvious you can see it from space. Mind you I'm not defending this guy, yes he is a creep. But I thought the whole point of this podcast was to point and laugh at these guys
