This has been a pretty big week for Godzilla fans! The MUTO Research Viral website was launched AND the first official teaser trailer for Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla was finally and OFFICIALLY released. So because we are a podcast, it was inevitable that we would talk about it, and it’s been a while since we have […]

Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow kaiju-philes! Let us give thanks for fungi this month because we are talking about the terrifying toadstools known as Matango – or, if you happened to catch it back when it was released through AIP on television, Attack of the Mushroom People (1965)! This film is a lot less like our […]

Episode #96 is a plain and simple episode. No news, no suggested reading…barely any music. That’s because the entirety of this episode is spent answering questions from the listeners about the trip to Japan. In addition to Bryan and Rachel coming in for some much needed backup, we introduce a new voice to the podcast. You […]

There are several names that are truly recognizable in US produced Godzilla-related materials. One of the most visible belongs to Ed Godziszewski, a fan who has been involved in just about every aspect of the fandom. Most notably, he publishes Japanese Giants magazine, wrote the extremely difficult to find The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Godzilla and […]

In this episode, we’re talking with Dave Filoni, director of Lucasfilm’s Star Wars The Clone Wars. Dave has been a long-time, hard core Godzilla fan and I had the pleasure of meeting him this year at Godzilla Night in San Leandro. I’ve wanted to get him on the podcast for a few years now, but […]

Ugh, I guess I should start out by saying “It’s still September in Hawaii!” …Welcome to another installment of the Kaijucast – episode 93, to be exact and squeaking in just before the world’s calendars flip to October! We are talking about the 1974 Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla this month. This film was one of the […]

Sometimes we record something and I sit on that recording (let’s hypothetically say “an interview”) for way too long. This episode features one such interview. While Jeff and I were down in Burbank for Monsterpalooza in April, we were psyched to have Godzilla author and film historian Steve Ryfle sit down with us for an […]

In this episode of the Kaijucast, we take a closer look at one of the most recent kaiju movies, the Korean monster-on-the-loose film known as The Host (2006). Sure, it’s not japanese, but it’s a great movie and needs to be examined. It’s a bizarre film that plays more like a family drama than it […]

Well we’ve got good news and bad news, listeners. The bad news is that my original plan for this month’s episode fell through. But the good news is that I’ve had the content for this month’s episode for several months! Waaaay back May of this year (Memorial Day weekend, to be precise), Jeff and I attended […]

San Diego Comic Con has left a BIG impression with this podcaster. So large, in fact, that I decided another bonus episode was in order (how many more of these do I need to do before I stop labeling them as bonuses?). To help me recall all of the details about this mega-awesome event, I […]
