    Gorath (1962)

    What would you do if a rogue star was about to collide with Earth? Oh, and also there's a giant walrus for some reason! We're tackling Ishirō Honda's lesser-seen high concept sci-fi film about the far future of 1980 and a kind world overcoming borders and politics to literally move the planet. But can a disaster movie work without any interpersonal or human conflict? We talk about the strange dullness of this film, random amnesia, Honda's commitment to authentic science, and of course the top-notch Tsubaraya effects.

    Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) with Daniel Dockery

    The OG Robot Dinosaur makes its entrance! Author Daniel Dockery joins us for the first appearance of Mechagodzilla in an unexpected ode to Okinawa with ape aliens, a fake Godzilla, and two doggy best friends. We get into the political context around Okinawa Island that made its setting, culture, and legends so central to this film, why we love King Caesar despite him being ineffectual, and Anguirus GETTING HIS JAW VIOLENTLY RIPPED OPEN.

    Dogora (1964)

    We're filling in the movie we missed with a diamond-stealing space jellyfish! We venture back to the 60s for one of Honda's sci-fi flicks, couched between better-remembered movies with Mothra and Ghidorah, and plagued with limitations on its otherwise inventive special effects. We talk about how this movie went from from global alien invasion epic to gangster/diamond heist romp, Robert Dunham as delightfully roguish super spy diamond insurance man Mark Jackson, and much more.

    Godzilla Minus One (2023) with Alonso Duralde and Dave White

    It's the groundbreaking Godzilla film that won the Oscar and made us all cry! We're joined by film critics Alonso Duralde and Dave White of Linoleum Knife for Takashi Yamazaki's dour but hopeful post-WWII period piece, which retells the original Godzilla story through the lens of PTSD, survival, found family, and community. From an all-star cast, to the cat-like Godzilla, to critics' views of when these movies are "legitimate" or not, we get into why this is the Godzilla film beloved even by people who don't like Godzilla!

    Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) with Craig J. Clark

    Punch! Punch! Punch! Writer Craig J. Clark joins us for a tag-team battle: Superhero Godzilla and his new robot friend Jet Jaguar vs. goofy buds Gigan and Megalon (who is not a guy). We talk about Jet Jaguar's origins in a children's art contest, the shadow of popular toku heroes like Ultraman and Kamen Rider, and how MST3K, John Belushi, and the Democratic National Convention helped make this extremely low-budget movie a surprise hit in the US.

    Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972) with Walter Trush

    It's a tag-team battle with Godzilla and his dog vs. Ghidorah and his knife alien chicken sidekick! Cartoonist Walter Trush joins us for this comic book-themed espionage romp, where a manga artist and his karate champion girlfriend join a team of goofballs who get wrapped up in an alien conspiracy to build an EVIL amusement park (with a Godzilla Tower)! We talk about the Sentai team of human characters, Haruo Nakajima's departure, lots of reused footage, cockroaches, and of course... THE RETURN OF ANGUIRUS! Check out Kokorodon on Webtoon!

    Godzilla: The Series (1998)

    As disastrous as the 1998 American Godzilla film may have been, one unequivocally good thing came out of it: Godzilla: The Series, a dark Fox Kids sci-fi show that reinvented and rearranged elements of its predecessor into something much smarter and cooler. With a premise that essentially remakes the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla cartoon, this show features high-concept stories, psychic ancient undersea aliens, robots, time travel, and plenty of freaky mutated kaiju. We talk about all the creative connections with other cartoon greats (including a surprising number of Spider-Man cartoons), the bizarrely stacked cast, and more! Watchlist: "New Family, Parts 1 & 2" "Leviathan" "Monster War, Parts 1-3" "Future Shock" "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been" This episode originally aired on ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠ on January 11, 2025.

    Are you team atomic lizard or team big monkey? Chels from The Q Division⁠⁠⁠ meets us in Hollow Earth for the big dumb drag wrestling match (complimentary) and all its synthwave bisexual lighting glory! We talk about Kong as a protagonist in the Monsterverse, COVID lockdown's effect on this movie, the weird amount of writers for such a simple plot and concept, how this led Rebecca Hall to make a great indie flick, podcaster representation in Brian Tyree Henry, and the Terminator-inspired Mechagodzilla.
