Summary

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) dishes about his two homes full of monster memorabilia, about his obsession with monsters, his latest Golden Globe nominated project "The Shape of Water," and more!

We also learn about the fairy-tale origin, and incredibly complicated process, of making mole from Iliana de la Vega, a Mexican-born chef, restaurateur and former Mexican/Latin Cuisines Specialist for The Culinary Institute of America.

Many of us have a disgusting creature in our daily lives: the office fridge! So King County Health Inspector Mike Simpson drops by the KIRO Radio station to assess our own slimy, green monster.
