Mother Mothra swoops into this sequel to 2002's Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla that is also, shockingly, a sequel to our queen's 1961 debut! We talk about the swerve into fantasy and reverence for the original Mothra film -- including bringing back Hottest Man Alive Hiroshi Koizumi to reprise his role -- while tackling the "built a robot out of Godzilla bones" moral questions the first film ignored. We also get into the mechanic protagonist, Showa-inspired effects, lots of Super Sentai cast members, and more!

Plus, a special appearance by former guest Donny Winter!⁠

Oh no, your plans for a remote beach resort have been derailed by a microbiotic space alien that possesses people and makes sea creatures grow real big! Chris Cummins (Archie Comics, Sci-Fi Explosion) joins us for no one's favorite kaiju film -- but a fun one with loveable cuttlefish, crab, and turtle kaiju nevertheless, and a very important one to the history of Godzilla. We talk about the fraught production plagued by Eiji Tsubaraya's death, Ishiro Honda's disillusionment, and Toho being an evil corporation. Plus, a game of FMK with Gezora, Ganimes, and Kamoebas!

This one's for the softies! Russ from Kaiju ComicCast joins us to learn all about Godzilla's feelings as he faces his own drag persona -- the crystal girlie Godzilla clone from space! We get into the penultimate Heisei film's focus on psychic hero Miki sporting a snazzy new cut and killer fits, the heavy bent toward romance, a new cute-enhanced Little Godzilla, and why this movie is unfairly maligned (it's because men hate having feelings).
