Mondo Film & Video Guide

The Mondo Film & Video Guide is a Detroit, Michigan based online film magazine. It was created by Justin Bozung, free-lance contributor to such publications as Shock Cinema, Horror Hound, Fangoria, Whoa, and Paracinema Magazines. The Mondo website covers specifically B movies, horror, exploitation, silent era, experimental and cult films. The website is updated monthly, and features current and older film reviews, feature articles, retrospectives and interviews.

The site reports to have over 70,000 readers each month per Facebook. The site also functions as an interactive portal that allows readers to upload their own written film reviews. The online magazine features interviews with various cult film and television figures, such as Joel Hodgson, creator of the Peabody Award winning television series Mystery Science Theater 3000. Over the several years, the site has also featured interviews with Troma Entertainment's Lloyd Kaufman, experimental filmmakers Nick Zedd and Jon Mortisugu, B movie filmmakers Dan Golden and Greydon Clark.

As late November 2010, the site has researched and published various articles on topics such as "The Favorite Films Of Stanley Kubrick" and "Jerry Lewis Vs. The Nazi's", which claims to be the ultimate and complete resource about the infamous Jerry Lewis unreleased film The Day The Clown Cried. In December 2010, the site published interviews with 1980s teen idol, Ione Skye, comedy icon Fred Willard, retired tabloid favorite actress, Shelley Duvall, and tough guy B movie legend, Wings Hauser.

In February 2012, the magazine launched an official radio show available via iTunes and on Jackalope Radio FM 105 in the Kansas City, Missouri area. The Mondo Film Podcast features rare in-depth interviews with such acclaimed actors/actress as: Nancy Allen, Kim Darby, Bruce Davison, stars of 2001: A Space Odyssey Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood as well as the daughter of filmmaker Orson Welles, Chris Welles Feder. The radio program claims to be one of the most downloaded film talk shows on the web today.

The official site for the online magazine went offline in April 2012.

Past mondo-video.com interviews and articles can still be found by searching the archives on archive.org.

A general entertainment blog took over the mondo-video.com domain name in late 2014, however none of the original mondo-video.com content remains.
