This is more than a movie review as we touch on March Madness (hats off to Baylor), Homo habilis (the Handy Man as well as the geneology of man and Kong), science is meaningless (in this film), the difference between jaeger and Jäger and the over use of the term “Frustratally”.

Nerd Jargon
Kaiju is a Japanese word meaning "strange creature". In English, it has come to mean "monster" or "giant monster", referring to creatures of a large size seen in movies from Asia. Many kaiju movies are made in Japan. It is a type of tokusatsu entertainment. (Wikipedia)
Mechas are typically depicted as humanoid mobile robots. The term was first used in Japanese (meka) after shortening the English loanword mekanikaru (メカニカル, 'mechanical'), but the meaning in Japanese is more inclusive, and "robot" (robotto) or "giant robot" is the narrower term. (Wikipedia)
