Kaiju Vs. History

The Korean Director Shim Hyung-rae is back after failing spectacularly with Yonggary and decides to make a new kaiju film with an even bigger budget? Will this grab for US dollars be a success or will it once mort go down in poorly translated conceptual flames? Find out as we take a look at 2007's "Dragon War: D-War"

This week we take a look at maybe...no definitely the oddest Kaiju film of all time. Japanese comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto takes a mockumentary look at national heroes and oni-like monsters. Join us in slowly going crazy as we watch 2007's "Big Man Japan"

This week we return to the Animated Kong series of the 2000s with a new movie and 3D animation style to try and capitalize off of the extended DVD release of Peter Jackson's King Kong. Will a return of more of the series characters be enough to secure this as the best animated Kong feature? Find out along with us as we look at 2006's "Kong: Return to the Jungle"

We return to Korea this week to look at one of the greatest monster movies ever made, with Bong Joon-Ho's 2006 take on the genre. Will this kaiju-adjacent film hold up in a decade of Millenium Godzilla and American spectacles? Find out along with us as we watch "The Host"

This week we return to a lighter and colorful version of the mighty Gamera with the last film for the terrific terrapin. Will this move child laden and family fun version of the film strike out or is it just what the doctor ordered for a year late anniversary film celebrating the series history? Find out along with us as we look at 2006's "Gamera the Brave"

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"
