KES and Slick are back with a conversation about Godzilla 1985.  We originally covered Godzilla Returns but we skipped all 23 flavors of Godzilla 1985 so now we are remedying that.  Slick sets the table with a luxurious spread that is the background of this Americanized version.  It would be called a variant in the fig community. 

We talk about differences between the films, Raymond Burr's return to the franchise as Mr. Martin, what was cut, what stayed, and of course...Dr. Pepper. Finally we put this movie in it's rightful place, reviewed by a couple fans. Forever enshrined in the loving eternity of the internet.

Stick around for a second discussion about Mezco's Rount 1 Destroy All Monsters set. KES got his and surprisingly Slick, after setting a figure record with 21 last episode...well, you'll just have to listen.

We put up the poll.  You voted.  Ultraman won so you're getting an Ultraman episode finally.  Jurassic Park never stood a chance.  KES has never really watched any Ultraman but Slick has dabbled and so the dynamic of the podcast of Slick being the grizzled vet and KES being the fish out of water rookie is in tact.  We watched episodes 1, 2 and 8 of the 66 series.  Did it rule?  Did it stink?  Did KES go over Slick's and see his Mezco Ultraman and Red King and get jealous?  Find out.  But also yes that did happen.

We also have a kaiju sized figure portion of he pod.  Slick has set the record for most purchases between episodes.  KES had a big showing for him.  2 purchases there.  What did we get?  Listen to find out.  Next week's segment promises to be a good one too.

KES says the Celtics are done in Game 6, Slick says there will be a Game 7.  One of them was correct. Anyways, this episode we're not going too far into the past.  Just a dozen years back to the magical time of 2010.  Before the world went ahead and got insane we had the fad of remaking classic films.  Judge Dredd, RoboCop, Total Recall, and even Clash of the Titans.  In this modern take, we have CGI replacing the stop motion and we have updated, modern fighting scenes.  This movie also decided to just go all out with the cast, including reuniting Ralph Fiennes with Liam Neeson from Schindler's List.  Was in enough to make it a modern classic or does it just merely peak out of the shadow of it's source material?  You be the judge.  But also we are the judge in this episode.  We also talk fig purchases.

 

PS - Enjoy both of us stumbling over pronouncing Ralph Fiennes.

KES and Slick brought in Matt from The Atomic Turtle Podcast to help them talk about Danish kaiju classic Reptilicus. We go deep into the backstory of this Sydney Pink vanity project (according to Netflix).  We talk the making of this movie and how they basically filmed 2 versions at the same time (English and Danish), the monster, the cast, the pros and the cons.  Plus we got to catch up with our bud and that was nice.

We also talk fig purchases and KES has a fun story about an encounter while on a fig hunt.  Tons of fun in this one.

This week KES and Slick are shamed by their bosses for pranking them into thinking there was a UFO.  This prank wound up backfiring because, sadly, it wasn't a UFO.  It was...THE GIANT CLAW!  A flying battleship with the wingspan the side of like 2 or 3 triple wide mobile homes lined up next to each other.  Is it a classic?  Is it required viewing?  Is it any good?  Find out what our boys have to say!

We also review some new purchases.  The Playmates GvK Playset and the GvK mini figure 6 pack highlight this segment.  We also find out whats in store for us next.  Anyone order a danish?

KES + Slick drift their way through Season 2 of Pacific Rim: The Black.  We talk improvements, favorite scenes/characters, kaijus, villains, plot, the whole shabang.  This was announced to be the final season of the series.  Was 2 enough, could this have gone on longer and did they do a good job tying this all up?  Listen in and find out.  And please excuse Slick, he was battling allergies. 

We also talk our newest fig purchases and OIW...wait nevermind.

Nobody warned us what we were in for this week and so let this be the warning to you all.  Raiga: God Of The Monsters is the Sharknado of monster movies.  It's bad.  It's almost so bad it's good but...no.  It's just bad.  How bad?  It's a piss joke.  It's a 90 minute piss joke.  Yeah.  There you go.  I saved you.  You're welcome.

We also do the usual and talk figs and bury the OIWF segment and made it a twitter exclusive.  It's our Sunday Night Heat now.

KES and Slick navigate the cold waters of the Arctic, the lighthouses of Maine, the shores of Massachusetts, and riding the jet stream all the way to...NEW YORK CITY? All salsa jokes aside, we're talking about the Ray Bradbury story turned into almost a full length feature film, The Beast From 20000 Fathoms.  What is a fathom?  Is it like a gil? What's a gil? Anyways, this stop motion masterpiece gets in depth treatment with backstory and discussion about the film itself.  From concept to production, personal preferences on how to work, and the overall execution, we talk about it. It's a good time.

We also talk about our recent purchases, the new Mezcos, Super7's, Playmates, and more!  It's the greatest night in the history of our sport.

In our nicest episode ever, we mispronounce our way through Pacific Rim Uprising.  From it's start/stop production to it's eventual release, reception, and history to the characters that came back and the monsters and jaegers that excited us.  Is this light hearted end of the world movie destined for the gold or is it flat on it's back looking at the lights?  We'll let you know in this very timely review.

We also talk about the Monsterverse news of a new movie and our weekly figure purchases.  It was a J-tail of a time let me tell you!

KES and Slick are joined by their pal ShinRobjira to discuss the excellent Atari Pipeworks Godzilla fighting games.  We talk roster, arenas, our mains, likes, dislikes, story, and the making of these games.  We go into our experiences with them and what these games meant to us when they came out and what they mean to us now.  It's a grand old time and one of our funnest episodes.  

We also talk figure purchases and we also broke Rob when we introduced him to the Cody Rhodes "Where's that referee, he tried to **** on me" line.
