A little-known fact is that this year's Godzilla vs Kong released in Japan a good 3 months later than in the rest of the world, not hitting cinemas until July 2. While it may be old news to some, it's still fairly recent for those of us in the birthplace of the world's largest radioactive reptile, so we thought we'd grab the mics and have a chat about it.But then, Macross happened... and we FINALLY have a release date for Macross Delta Zettai Live!!!!!!Tune in and check out our reactions to all the news in real-time, in the latest episode of the SpeakerPODcast!







The net has been abuzz about a certain teaser cameo...

This episode, we try to catch up on the trickle of news from the last couple of months before autumn's deluge hits.Renato also gives his impressions on the Bandai's recent VF-1D release and poses a question we've all asked ourselves at some point - WHERE ARE THE FISTS?!?

With Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time hitting international distribution courtesy of Amazon, the SpeakerPODcast Crew (and guests!) gather to reminisce about the franchise before attempting to break down the final movie of the Evangelion rebuild series and decipher some of its many references.























This may well be the most obscure reference in the entire movie...







And we didn't even begin on all the promotional collaborations...

After multiple delays, Gundam: Hathaway finally hit Japanese cinemas on June 11, before receiving an unprecedentedly fast release international release via Netflix on July 1.

So now that it's out, let's talk about what all the hype is about, whether it's warranted, and why more people aren't talking about Mace Flower.





















Oh, and the figures we've been waiting for for a quarter century finally have some details!
