Clancy and I cover our time at the twenty-fifth G-Fest! It was such a great time – we both loved seeing all of the listeners and fellow kaiju fiends at this convention, but this year was very special to each of us for different reasons. Huge thanks to the staff of G-Fest for involving the […]

Join us for a deeper look into the final Daimajin film of 1966: Wrath of Daimajin. We originally spoke about this in episode #14 (so very long ago) and it was only our second ever Daikaiju Discussion! For kaiju eiga (cinema) , the 1966 Daimajin trilogy is a bit of an enigma. All three films […]

It’s been a little bit, but we are back with another daikaiju re-discussion. This chat is about Gamera 2: Advent of Legion (1996) Daiei’s follow up to their smash hit Gamera reboot. Long time listeners might recall that we originally covered this movie in the discussions’ very first year (November to be exact — this was […]

Let’s get this out of the way now: if you are unfamiliar with Keita Amemiya’s film and television archives, make sure you listen to our first episode covering his work (episode #229).
