Movie Monsters: PWN #2 (originally titled Monster Movies: PWN #2) is the second episode of PWN, uploaded on November 2, 2014. It features Paul Gaurano, Wes Davies, and Nick Geoghegan. The three talk about their favorite monsters from movies.

Description[edit | edit source]

The video starts off with the usual intro, and a brief explanation of the topic. Paul describes the requirements for being included. The episode begins with Nick.

Monsters Included

Nick:

  • Godzilla - Specifically the 2014 reboot. Described as "pretty darn cool".
  • T-Rex from Jurassic Park
  • Jaws - From Jaws.
  • Cloverfield monster - From Cloverfield.

Wes:

  • Rodents of Unusual Size - From Princess Bride.
  • Xenomorphs - From Alien.
  • Apes - From Planet of the Apes.
  • Killer Rabbit - From Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Paul:

  • The fish monster from The Host.
  • CJ7

Outro

Nick finishes the episode saying that next week's short will be The Smiling Man, and the next PWN will be about superheroes. The video finishes with the first usage of the PWN hand signs, instead of the now official fistbump.

Making Of[edit | edit source]

The second PWN was made at lunchtime during school, three days before being uploaded, on Halloween. It remains the quickest a PWN has ever been filmed (less than 28 minutes). Like the first episode, it was recorded at Location One. The video helps set precedents by continuing certain themes from the first episode. The opening theme, Wesley's Name Joke, and the standard outro are all carried over from the previous episode, and a couple of other inside jokes are referred to and introduced.

Inside Jokes[edit | edit source]

The folloing inside jokes have their first appearance in this episode of PWN:

  • "Hunkteracops" - Wesley: in reference to a nickname for his friend, Jack Masters, who is mentioned both directly and indirectly in a number of PWNs. This joke serves as the title of the accompanying blooper video.
  • "My hair is my horns!" - Paul: Nick refers to The Land Before Time, and Paul complains about the character Sarah, saying, "That mean girl Sarah, she's like 'rargh, my hair is my... Horns!'"
  • The Princess Bride Spin - Paul: When Wes first mentions The Princess Bride, Paul stands and spins in circles while singing the title of the book. This joke is better explained in the blooper video.
  • CJ7 - Paul refers to CJ7 as his favorite monster movie, and Wes responds only with "...what the hell?". No further context is given. Much later, around the filming of Doctor Strange: PWN 7, Nick discovered the film at a library, and the group watched it together, recording an audio commentary to accompany.

A few jokes from the first episode are referenced in this episode and its subsequent blooper video:

  • "Wendal" - Nick: Created in the blooper video, when Nick points out that Wes is never referred to by name in the first episode, so audience speculation on what the W in PWN stands for may ensue.
  • "Crotch Powers", a joke from the first blooper video, is repeated by Paul.
  • "Five thousand pHD, twenty-five million fps" is repeated by Wes in reference to Godzilla.

References[edit | edit source]

Several films are referenced in the video, mainly those from which the names monsters are chosen.

  1. Godzila (2014)
  2. Jurassic Park
  3. The Land Before Time
  4. Jaws
  5. Cloverfield
