This episode takes a look at a film that barely qualifies as a kaiju movie. The Magic Serpent (1966) is a Japanese fantasy film version of a classic tale Jiraiya Gouketsu Monogatari. And while the monster appearances are few and far between, depending on what version you watch, you could be hearing some familiar roars to the […]

In this short episode, I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming suit actor extraordinaire Kenpachiro Satsuma back to the podcast. Satsuma played Hedorah in 1971’s Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster, Gigan in both Godzilla vs Gigan (1972) and Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973). He then went on to perform as the King of the Monsters in all of the […]

If you downloaded the episode before 11PM on November 2nd, 2016, I apologize for the tech fail but the upload was cut off and I didn’t realize it until it was already out in the wild. You should download the recently updated audio file. Once again, gomenasai. Holy shin, this is a massive episode! We’re talking […]

For this episode, Keith Foster from Big Pimp Jones and Kodoja returns to the air waves. This time, we are talking about the “Super Seventies” – not the swinging sounds, but the swanky superheroes who captivated the youth of Japan. At one point in the past year, we were discussing the rise in popularity of heroes […]

In this episode we check out a 1977 monster movie from Toei called Legend of Dinosaurs & Monster Birds, which is far more a Jaws ripoff than a kaiju film. This was a film that most of us were not really aware of until recently, and I can honestly say that even if you are a kaiju […]

This past weekend, we attended Rose City Comic Con in our home town of Portland, Oregon. Wow – it was fantastic this year! Keith Foster and I tabled together and sold Kodoja comics, soundtracks and prints plus I was able to sell some Kaijucast and Kaiju Corps stuff too. We also had our mini Portland cityscape set up […]

Oh boy. I don’t remember who requested Reptilian to be added the Daikaiju Discussion list, but for those of you who did… here you go? That sure was a film almost.  Ok, seriously, this film is a 90s remake of the 1967 South Korean kaiju film, Yongary (which coincidentally has been released on Bluray somewhat […]

This episode was (mostly) recorded after checking out the Rifftrax Mothra riffing on August 18th. I thought it would be fun to get a bunch of kaiju fans together to chat about the event. While we had a group of eight at the theater, only about half of us could hang out afterwards and discuss the […]

  Hey folks, welcome to episode 182. This was recorded live at G-Fest XXIII in Chicago, Illinois and my guests were two awesome superstars from Japan. I failed to give them a proper introduction in the panel, so I am going to do it right now (and beg the Gotouchi Kaiju for forgiveness!) thanks to […]

We’re trolling Norway in this episode because our daikaiju discussion series takes a look at Troll Hunter (2010). We really enjoyed this found footage film and we apparently weren’t alone since the listeners seemed to favor this film as well. NORWEGIAN TROLL CHANTIES: 1. Troll Hunter Trailer Audio (2010) 2. Mjod by Kvelertak from Kvelertak (2010) DAIKAIJU DISCUSSION: Strap […]
