Coming out in time to tie in with the release of Pacfic Rim: Uprising this special edition of Couch Potato Theater brings us the film that started it all.  Director Guillermo del Toro’s vision of Jagers and Kaiju PACIFIC RIM!

When monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. 

Join FPNet’s own Mecha fan Kyle Wagner as he drifts with Kaiju expert and friend of the network Michael Morris as they bring you a retrospective of this 2013 release that made many a Mech and Kaiju fan happy and look at the amazing world that was built by Del Toro and his team.

As a bonus we also give our thoughts of what we hope to see in Pacific Rim: Uprising.  Grab your popcorn, your soda and you Kaiju and join us in the drift for this edition of Couch Potato Theater!
