2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla

This week, Godzilla returns to Japan and is badder than ever. On this episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron and Terence cover Toho’s efforts to recover from their miserable experience with America’s first attempt at Godzilla by delivering Godzilla 2000: Millennium, directed by Takao Okawara. This would mark the beginning of the franchise’s Millennium Era. There’s plenty to say about what this latest era brings to the franchise, how it differs from the others, what this entry adds to the series, and other notable aspects of this movie’s release. Enjoy!

This week we are drawn towards a different kind of Godzilla that’s come up a few times over the decades - his animated adventures. On this episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron and Terence move away from the live-action films for a spell to look back at Hanna-Barbera’s Godzilla animated series that ran from 1978 to 1979, as well as Godzilla: The Series, the animated spin-off of the Roland Emmerich film that ran from 1998 to 1999. There’s plenty to say about what both shows offered in terms of their similar premises, animation style, and more. And that’s still before we get to the Godzooky of it all. Enjoy!

There is nothing mankind can do to stop us from revisiting America’s first attempt at making its own Godzilla movie. On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Terence and Aaron launch the latest season of this two-time award-winning podcast by discussing the infamous attempt by director Roland Emmerich to deliver his take on Godzilla. The duo covers the results of 1998’s Godzilla, including the development, casting, writing, visual effects, and all the other aspects that seemingly went wrong. It’s certainly one way to kick off coverage of the Millennium/TriStar Era. Enjoy!

You all had more questions, and we had answers! In this bonus Q&A episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron and Terence collected all the questions you, our listeners, sent our way on our social channels, and we did our best to answer every one in anticipation of our upcoming third season. What are we expecting from Godzilla Minus Zero? Which Godzilla villain is overrated? What would we be doing outside of this podcast? Find out all of these answers and more. Enjoy!

It has become even more enraged! It has even more powerful weapons! San Diego Comic-Con has been resurrected! On this bonus episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, following a busy (and hot) week in and around the Convention Center, Aaron and Terence took on the challenge of recording a late Saturday night episode recapping their experience at 2026’s San Diego Comic-Con. This focuses largely on all of their more Godzilla-related adventures, including some discussion of panels, the various photo-op experiences and activations, wild stories from the press lines, and most importantly - a look/description of all of the cool Godzilla-focused toys, figures, cards, and more we obtained. Enjoy!

The podcast is in between seasons once again, which means it is time for another look at Gamera, the protector of children! As Aaron and Terence get ready for season three of the (now) two-time award-winning 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, it only made sense for the guys to cover the well-received Heisei Era trilogy of Gamera films. So here it is — an episode covering 1995’s Gamera the Guardian of the Universe, 1996’s Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, and 1999’s Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris, all from director Shusuke Kaneko. Enjoy!

Recorded in three sessions while away in Japan, here is the 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla episode recapping what happened when Aaron and Terence went on vacation to the otherside of the world and saw plenty of Godzilla-related sites and more. Yes, the 2 Black Guys stayed in the Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah room in Hotel Gracery, but that's not all. They saw key sites such as Osaka Castle and Tokyo Tower, ate it up at the Pokémon Cafe, enjoyed a night of sumo wrestling, and, of course, took the ride of a lifetime by zip-lining through Godzilla's mouth. Hear about all of this and other adventures in this episode covering the guys' time in the Land of the Rising Sun. Enjoy!

We’ve reached the end of another era! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, as Aaron and Terence enjoy their adventures in Japan, here is the closing episode of season two of this now two-time award-winning podcast, featuring the wrap-up of the Heisei Era. Hear the two discuss the era as a whole, rank the films they watched, cover their favorite fights, characters, villains, and moments, and go over a variety of listener questions. There’s also a discussion of what they expect and anticipate seeing during the third season - The Millennium/TriStar Era, along with other plans for the show. Enjoy!

The Heisei Era comes to an end, and just as everything goes out of control! For this episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron and Terence discuss the concluding film of this era, 1995’s Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, directed by Takao Okawara. This powerful entry manages to deliver one of Godzilla’s deadliest threats, his own looming self-destruction, and other means to wrap up this stretch of films. Terence and Aaron have plenty to cover here, including their thoughts on the latest kaiju design, how well this entry balances horror and affecting drama, and how it brings the entire storyline to a close (for now). Enjoy!

The Heisei Era finally goes intergalactic this week! For this episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron and Terence dig into the magnificently titled 1994 film Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, directed by Kensho Yamashita. This busy entry finds Godzilla teamed up with Mothra and MOGUERA to take on an extraterrestrial clone looking to conquer the planet. That’s more than enough for Terence and Aaron to work with as they discuss the kaiju designs, the continuity of this era’s storyline, including the continued presence of Baby G, and just how far this film can push. Plus, the hosts open by reacting to the newly released teaser for Godzilla Minus Zero. Enjoy!
