Kaiju Vs. History

This week to celebrate this podcast's 5th Anniversary Myles and Patrick are joined by Bernie and Pete of the Fan 2 Fan podcast to talk all things Kaiju Eiga. We go back over the history of the podcast, what exactly constitutes a "Kaiju Movie", and talk about some of the best examples we have had over the last 5 years.

This month on Kaiju Vs History we fly over the fjords once more of Scandinavia with what feels like a spiritual successor to Troll and Troll 2. Can another monster of myth meet our rigorous demands for more kaiju eiga or will this new film sink like many before it? Find out along with us as we take a look under the water at 2026's "Kraken"

This month on Kaiju Vs. History we invite guest from the Final Forum podcast to talk kaiju with us, going over the largest creatures, from demons to dragons, in the Dragon Ball universe. Are there really that many that its worth an entire episode? Does Akira Toriyama have a love for Godzilla and King Kong that seeped into his seminal work? Find out along with us and the folks from Final Forum on this special episode!

Welcome Kaiju Vs History fans to the start of KvH 2.0 and the kickoff to our monthly episodes. This month (June) we are looking at the latest in the Monsterverse universe with Apple TV's season 2 of their show Monarch (2026). Find out about our thoughts, the connections to the Legendary films, and whether we thought they should have just adapted Biollante in this week's episode, this is our review of "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" Season 2.

This week on Kaiju Vs. History we finish off our podcast goal as of the time of this recording we have watched every single kaiju film available to us! To celebrate we recalibrate the podcast and talk about our future goals and projects and look at how the podcast will change. Join us this week for our look into the future and reflections on the past on a very special episode!

We return to Netflix streaming for another massive monster movie, and a sequel to boot. Can the mythological majesty of this movie stand up to the positive performance of the first flick? Or will this movie stink like its synonymous best worst movie ever? We will get into this week as we look at last years "Troll 2"

Once more we wade into the shallow pool of micro budget kaiju 'classics' with a director with a green screen and a dream. Will this movie use up all the carte blanche to print films that SRS Cinemas has garnered over the years or will this movie chum up the waters? Find out along with us as we look at "Kaiju Glam Metal Shark Attack!"

Join us this week as we take another look at the hit or miss world of Netflix Animated Kaiju actions, as we look at a brand new Ultraman universe. Will a giant monster baby and daddy issues save this family fun fest or will this seeming homerun fail to reach the bleachers? Find out as we take a look at 2024's "Ultraman: Rising"

We return once more to the funny headspace of Director Shinpei Hiyashiya, this time with perhaps his smallest crowd fund raised film yet that take place outside of his Raigo series. Can this simple tale of ninjas, ancient kaiju guardians and the simple mountain village outside of Tokyo distract us long enough from the world collapsing around us? Likely not but we will still watch 2024's "War of the Ninja Monsters: Jaron vs Goura"

We take a look at a theatrically released truncation of an anime hit, as the latest manga adaptation flies off the page and into film in a short time frame. Will this movie be enough to get audiences interested in the characters and universe of the show or is it too much left on the cutting room floor? You can join us this week to find out on the "Kaiju No 8: Mission Recon" review.
