We're talking two big topics this month!

Godzilla (1998)

Dec 12 2024 171 mins

It's the infamous American movie that enraged Godzilla fans and the movie industry alike, featuring a fish-eating pregnant iguana conceived as a sexy pin-up... the one and only Zilla! We take a deep dive into the filmography of Roland Emmerich -- master of disaster (and so far the only openly queer person to ever direct a Godzilla movie, sorry!) -- to determine that, if this isn't

Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) with Donny Winter

Nov 12 2024 112 mins

Mothra enters the 90s, and she's only gotten more beautiful with age! Poet and YouTuber Donny Winter joins us for the Heisei era's turn to fantasy, as ancient alien Mothra and her fairies from a fallen civilization try to save us all from her edgy Hot Topic goth counterpart Battra and a very angry Godzilla. We talk about the wild previous versions of the script, all the throwbacks

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966)

Oct 12 2024 119 mins

Crank up the surf rock for a day at the beach and a nice lobster dinner, because we're talking the time Godzilla fought a giant crustacean! This low-key island adventure features a major changing of the guard behind-the-scenes, resulting in a fun and unique James Bond-inspired story where a ragtag group of misfits find themselves working with sleepy kaiju to stop a terrorist organi

GMK (2001) with Chris McDonald

Sep 26 2024 101 mins

Let's get supernatural with this J-Horror take on Godzilla! Chris McDonald (author of the upcoming Daikaiju Rumble) joins us for the unusual Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (aka GMK), which features Godzilla as a malicious manifestation of many angry ghosts. It's WILD! We talk about the reinvention of King Ghidorah as a nice friendly dragon

Frankenstein vs. Baragon (1965)

Sep 12 2024 123 mins

Frankenstein's monster is a kaiju?! In one of the weirder entries in Toho's monster canon (localized as Frankenstein Conquers the World), the modern Prometheus is a regenerative caveman-like being born from the atomic bomb who grows to colossal size. Also, an adorable subterranean puppy comes from below to fight him. We talk about the very first collaboration between Toho a

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) with Jayce

Aug 12 2024 136 mins

Hop into your time machine and pilot your Mecha, because Godzilla expert Jayce joins us for King Ghidorah's entrance into the Heisei era! This fantastical sci-fi romp is a response to America's blockbusters like Back to the Future and a celebration of Showa era monster fights, but it's also surprisingly wrapped up in Japanese/American economic relations (yes, we're

Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)

Jul 12 2024 140 mins

Godzilla goes to spaaaace! In a movie that's way more alien invasion space opera than kaiju, the hilariously-dressed Xiliens from Planet X introduce us to Monster Zero (aka Ghidorah) and get Earth wrapped in a convoluted plot involving trapping sleepy Godzilla and Rodan in bubbles. We talk the first American-Japanese co-production for Toho -- which includes a major role for Reb
