This month’s Daikaiju Discussion is all about a really big ape and the island on which he rules — that’s right, we are talking about Kong: Skull Island (2017) on this episode. It’s always a bit thrilling when we have a brand new movie to talk about, so spoilers ahead, people! MASSIVE MONKEY MUSIC: 1. Opening […]

For this episode we are diving into the history of the kaiju genre and its relationship with women – from characters to actors, we tackle a few topics that some people might consider to be a sensitive subject but that we feel should be a point of discussion amongst lovers of these films. I was […]

Pop quiz, hot shots! Wait, that’s not right… more like surprise homework! I actually don’t think anyone noticed that the show notes in the last episode mentioned (very late) that we were pulling a double feature of two short kaiju films for this month’s discussion. But really, I completely spaced mentioning this during the chaos of […]

There’s something magical about the old black and white Atomic Monster Movies of the 1950s. In addition to the inherent cheese factor that attracts some of us to their tales, they were the predecessors to our favorite mega monsters from Japan. Obviously without King Kong and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, we wouldn’t have Godzilla […]

It’s another live episode in the can! That’s right, kaiju fiends – this past Sunday, we interviewed guests and hopefully entertained listeners live for close to three crazy hours. Bryan, Rachel and Clancy joined me for the sixth annual Emergency Broadcast. Since some of the interviews went on a little long, we actually forged through […]

I am so happy to finally share this short interview with stunt and suit actor Mizuho Yoshida from last year’s Monster Mania in Cherry Hill, NJ. As many of the listeners know, I am a massive fan of the 2001 film commonly referred to as “GMK” by the fans. Yoshida played Godzilla in that epic […]

I’m back from Japan and finally done with the jet lag (hopefully)! This episode was recorded in the Shinjuku Gracery’s Godzilla Room with the crew from our first official Kaijucast listener trip to Japan. We had an amazing time there and we hope you enjoy the episode as we share some of our favorite experiences […]

What a way to send 2016 screaming into the past. Too bad this isn’t the year of the dragon because we are watching the South Korean fantastical monster epic, Dragon Wars: D-War (2007) for this Daikaiju Discussion. I was joined by Bryan, Rachel and Charles for this chat, and we got in some great reviews from […]

It’s a Yak Attack! And I am on my way to spend the holidays with my family in just a few hours, so you are getting a short description. Seriously, I hope you enjoy this quirky and varied conversation with Bryan and Rachel and have yourself some happy holidays as I hopefully work on the […]

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 […]

Yep… running out of creative titles for these news episodes. And I am not going to guarantee that this one is super fresh, either, but I got everyone together to chat about the massive amount of news that dropped since our last meeting. Seriously, we are being inundated with Godzilla news from both sides of […]
