    Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993)

    Pacific Rim (2013) feat. Sean Childers (Big Mecha But Not Huge)

    Get in the Jaeger, we're cancelin' the apocalypse with Guillermo del Toro's love letter to the mecha and kaiju genre. But is the film entirely drift compatible?

    If any of the following makes you uncomfortable, be warned: blood, sex, Christopher Walken, philosophy, and more. But actually, this vampire film is rather serious and may challenge your sensibilities. We welcome Frank Olson back to help us take a bite out of it.

    The Giant Spider Invasion (1975) feat. Bill Rebane (sort of) - the director and producer!

    You're caught in our web with this one! There's no other way to spin it. Spiders fall from space, get really big, and eat people. We're celebrating the movie's 50th anniversary and you should too! And who better to do it with than the director and producer himself, Bill Rebane. Now, as you'll hear, the monster movie gods didn't play nice with our recording... nevertheless, we've stitched something together that we're happy with. Kind of like The Giant Spider Invasion, maybe this episode is so-bad-it’s-good? Let us know. So pour yourself a drink, grab a fly swatter, and enjoy the spider that makes Jaws look like a goldfish!
