Podcasts Kaijucast

For this episode, Kyle welcomes the creative team behind the first issue of IDW Publishing’s upcoming series, Godzilla Rage Across Time, Jeremy Robinson and Matt Frank. While Matt has been on the podcast before, Jeremy’s name may sound familiar because of his contributions to the kaiju genre via the literature branch. Jeremy is the author of the […]

It’s another Daikaiju Discussion and this was completely recorded and edited all in one day… because tomorrow is July. Anyway, Kyle flew solo for this mission. Hope you enjoy! MUSIC: 1. Tiga Brave Love Tiga by Chikyuu Bouei Dan from Ultraman Tiga (1996) 2. Symphonic Suite “Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna” 3rd movement “Super GUTS!” by Tatemi Yano from […]

Well, well, well… Did someone ask for more giant monsters in the news? Because that’s what’s happened, folks. We have a massive news episode for your listening pleasure. Martin, Charles and Rachel came over so we could “ooh” and “aah” over all of the domestic and international Godzilla goings-on. MONSTROUS MUSIC: 1. Ultraman No Uta […]

For this episode, we wind the clock back to March when I attended the Monster Mania convention in New Jersey. The Godzilla suit actors Kenpachiro Satsuma (1984 – 1995) and Mizuho Yoshida (2001) were guests and took part in a panel about their history in rubber suits. Hope you enjoy, folks! MUSIC TO PLAY: 1. Ultra Q Theme […]

This episode of the Kaijucast was recorded at last year’s G-Fest convention in Chicago, Illinois. August Ragone and I thought it would be a fun panel idea to go through the entirety of Gamera’s filmography (which at the time was just about 50 years old). By all accounts, we should have been able to do it, […]

So much has happened in the past month! Japan’s new Godzilla film is on the horizon, and I’ve been traveling so I never had a chance to chat about this with my co-hosts. So this episode is almost entirely about the Godzilla Resurgence news that broke in the past month. We’ll cover some of the […]

Trying to edit podcasts while traveling isn’t so easy, so now that I’m back at home and you’ve all been at the edges of your seats (and I’m sure you haven’t become bored with the wait, right??) it’s time to crown the winner of our MONSTER MARCH MADNESS tournament! And yes, I’m painfully aware that we’re […]

Are you ready for another round of Monster March Madness? Well we sure hope so! The excitement continues in this special episode of the Kaijucast. And yeah, yeah – once again, we understand that were at the beginning of April and there’s a little bit of a misnomer there. Hopefully next year will be a […]

We are back with our third episode of March! And, yes, I realize that this technically is getting posted on April 1st….but it’s not a joke – the new episode is here and we are talking about Yamato Takeru, Toho’s semi-remake of their 1959 film Birth of Japan but focusing on the Japanese legend of the […]

In a bit of a break from our normal fare, the Kaijucast has embarked on what could easily be an annual event here and we really hope you enjoy this as much as we did while recording the episode. The rest of the world seems to be obsessing over the NCAA tournament, but we continue our […]

Back from the depths of the past, we return to the Monster Garage to chat with our friends from the Bay area. Bob Johnson, Barrie Evans, Butch Portillo, Kevin DeAntonio and (newcomer to the Garage) Dell Martinez got together in that wonderful Monster Garage to talk Japan and other tokusatsu stuff with me. MONSTER GARAGE MUSIC: […]

Sorry for the delay on the episode, but also for the delay in this posting. Last night my server was nearly unresponsive so I was staring at my laptop screen with the most angry of late night eyes. Regardless… Hey, it’s our daikaiju discussion for Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla in which we talk for almost two hours […]

Jeff, Dave, Charles, Sean, Bryan AND Rachel join me for this explicit Yak Attack episode since I need more time to get the second Monster Music Mania episode done. I can’t remember the last time we had a group this big on the show and, I’ll be honest, it was more difficult to rein in the conversation […]

Proof positive that we pulled off the 5th annual Emergency Broadcast this past Sunday, it’s episode #165! My cohosts for this particular episode were Bryan and Rachel Cook, and we introduce a brand new voice to the podcast, Charles Babbage. We look forward to hearing more from him as we continue the podcast into the […]

It’s no secret that I used to run the Shrine of Gamera back in the day, so I have no qualms with sharing my love for what I consider to still be one of the best kaiju movies EVAHR (sorry, that was for Cameron). I’m constantly preaching the word of Gamera to the masses and if […]

As many know, the original reason I launched this podcast seven years ago was to learn more about kaiju soundtracks and their composers. Very soon after the kick-off episode, however, it became clear that my sound studies were secondary to the format of the podcast as I continued to interview (and enjoy interviewing) more and more people. As music […]

Bryan, Rachel, Dave, Martin and Kyle  say goodbye to 2015 with an epic Daikaiju Discussion for the Toho/Rankin Bass co-production, King Kong Escapes. Overall, this didn’t fare too well with a couple of the cohosts tonight, but that’s their problem because the rest of us loved it! King Kong Escapes is a bit of a weirdo […]

A very holiday episode of the Kaijucast awaits you, dearest listeners. We cover a lot of backlogged news items and then tacked on a Yak Attack at the end of the show. We’ll be back really soon with a Daikaiju Discussion for King Kong Escapes (1967) but we do really hope that you enjoy this […]

This episode has been a long time coming. I sat down with Jessica and Chris from the Kaiju Kingdom Podcast back in March when I visited Los Angeles (Burbank specifically) for Monsterpalooza and this year has been so nuts that it’s taken nine-ish months to get it into the feed. If you haven’t checked out their […]

We’re in Japan! So why not record a barely structured explicit Yak Attack co-production? That’s right, listeners, Kyle is making his way through Japan and he’s brought some friends with him. Rich Eso of Fresh Vinyl Reviews, Jon Bumpus of Skreeonk.com and David Dopko, still photographer for Hail to the King: 60 Years of Destruction, […]
