Kaiju Vs. History Kaiju vs. History Podcast

We start down the dark path of mockbuster kaiju movies with the first (of many) Asylum films this week. If we survive this film will they only get better from here or are we in store for more pain from the rip-off artists and maestros of direct-to-dvd? Find out this week as we look at 2005's "King of the Lost World"

This week we are looking at perhaps one of the biggest kaiju films of the last 20 years. A film that takes special effects into a new era for the genre, by an Academy Award winning director. Will the latest, greatest remake of the original 1933 movie outshine the original? Will it symbiotically add to the mythos of the character? Will we find out what really killed the beast in this modern Prometheus? Find out along with us as we discuss Peter Jacksons magnum opus in 2005's "King Kong"

This first animated feature from the 2000s Animated Kong series is here, and Patrick and Myles wish it wasn't. This film is a serial continuation of the TV series, with a lack of returning series regulars, but takes the action to a new location and adds the mirth of music. Join us as we watch and tolerate 2005's "Kong: King of Atlantis"

A parody Kaiju film looks to take the stars of the 1950s monster movies and put them in a ultra-low budget comedy. Will the monster's lack of clothing get a chuckle out of Myles and Patrick or does this movie need to be lost from the kaiju canon? Find out along with us as we take a look at 2005's "The Naked Monster"

This week we do a full watch along commentary track in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Big G. Grab a copy of the film and press play along with us as we commentate all 2 hours of the film and weight in on where this film ranks in the annals of kaiju film history. This is the 2004 classic "Godzilla: Final Wars"

The final part of the Kiryu duology and director Masaaki Tezuka's Millennium trilogy is up this week. Here we have another direct sequel to a Showa era film, but unlike the other films that springboard off of 1954's Godzilla this week we see the first direct sequel to 1961's Mothra. So join us in celebrating this week's episode as we look at 2003's "Godzilla: Tokyo SOS"
