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 […]

Yes, it’s true. I rearranged the Daikaiju Discussion schedule and slid this month’s film, Pacific Rim, into the July slot so that we could capitalize on the release date. Did that move pay off? I would say so; we received more homework (aka listener reviews) than ever before! Not only did we have a ton […]

Kaiju fans from around the globe converged on Chicago, Illinois last weekend for the twentieth annual Godzilla convention known as G-Fest! In addition to the amazing dealers room, artist alley and special guests, this festival has a massive schedule of kaiju-tastic programming. One of those programs was our live podcast and we couldn’t be more […]

I don’t know about you guys, but I am personally getting super excited for G-Fest (July 12-14th in Chicago)! And because I had this interview that I recorded back in May just sitting on my hard drive and because the interviewee happens to be involved with G-Fest and also because nice chunk of our conversation involved […]

Howdy, listeners and fans of giant monsters! Welcome to episode 85, where we discuss the fan-favorite kaiju classic from 1966, War Of The Gargantuas! It seems a little odd to be recording a discussion for the “Frankenstein Brothers” so soon after we recorded the Kaiju Commentary, but it was actually a lot of fun to […]

Heather and I sat down to talk about the upcoming comic book from IDW Publishing featuring everyone’s favorite radioactive monsters, Godzilla: Rulers Of Earth. Joining us for this discussion are the series’ creators, Matt Frank & Chris Mowry! While both have been on the podcast in previous episodes, this is the first time the two […]

Getting really slammed with things to do right after you record is kind of a bummer… But it was also really awesome because we were in Seattle at the “Pacific Northwest’s largest Horror Convention”, Crypticon. And that was pretty much the next day! Anyway, welcome to  episode 83 and the Daikaiju Discussion episode for the […]

Hey folks, it’s Cinco De Mayo and it’s been a while since we’ve added some new voices to the mix! Meet Julian and Sean, two local Godzilla fans who I am quite happy to add to our current roster of disembodied talkers. I asked them over for their debut episode and we just shot the […]

Welcome to another installment of the Kaijucast… episode 81 in fact! In this episode, Martin, Jeff and I talk about the 1958 monster movie Daikaiju Varan. It’s one of those early Toho films that was made when the studio was still tinkering with their own interpretation of the giant monster movie formula. We had a […]

Why is this a bonus episode? Well if you’ve listened to any of our episodes this year, you’re probably aware of all the different shows and conventions that we’ll be part of/going to. One of those events is the 10th Annual Stumptown Comics Festival held right here in Portland, Oregon. In association with our Stumptown […]

Just a brief word of warning: recording conditions were not ideal for this interview. You’re going to hear some heavily processed audio, but I assure you, it is worth it! Why? Because we had an awesome time talking with Jeff Zornow – horror and comic book artist, lover of metal and clergyman in the church […]

FROM BEHIND THE MOON THEY COME… TO INVADE THE EARTH! ABDUCT ITS WOMEN! LEVEL ITS CITIES! This month’s discussion focuses on the 1957 alien invasion epic from Toho, The Mysterians!!! We were a bit torn here at the HQ, but I was very happy to have my discussion crew for this episode: Adam Alexander from the Monster Project […]

Y’know how sometimes you do something and save it for later? And then you kind of forget about it? Yeah…. that’s what happened here. But, thankfully I did remember it and that’s why this episode of the podcast features notable veteran actor Akira Takarada! I explain it all in the intro to the show, so […]

We had a full house in the Kaijucast HQ Tonight! That pretty much means we had more people that I had microphones for this very special Daikaiju Discussion diving into a movie that means a LOT to me, the 1956 Rodan! I was joined by Martin, Jeff, Rachel & Bryan and someone who came out […]
