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).

Multicolored spacemen invade Earth, and they want land and ladies! Josh from the Biorante toksatsu subtitle database joins us for Ishirō Honda's first epic space movie, with an all-star cast and loads of effects innovations! We talk about this film's parallels to Japan's entrance into the United Nations, how it tackles fighting aliens without using nuclear weapons, and of course, the giant robot mole bug Moguera.

It's time for Minilla to teach us about bullying! Vicki from Glitterjaw's Novel Gaming joins us for this children's fantasy about a latchkey kid getting into Home Alone shenanigans and learning to stand up for himself thanks to his imaginary adventures on Monster Island. As Godzilla swerves hard into low-budget children's fare, we talk about this film's unfairly maligned reputation, the use of stock footage (and why it's not a bad thing), the lessons that do and don't hold up, and that little punk Gabara!

Long live the king! The Monsterverse swerves into this fanservice romp about mother nature vs. a climate change space dragon, all spawned from the messiest divorce of all time. We talk about the first ever Hollywood interpretations of Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah (and Kevin), this film's bend toward the biblical and mythological, the ensemble cast of all-stars, and the many references that may or may not make sense (what do you MEAN they're the Shobijin?!) We also get into this movie's complicated and frustrating relationship with the 1954 Godzilla film and nuclear weapons. Justice for Sally Hawkins!

The monster party's raging! Eleven kaiju unite in this crossover event and intended finale for Godzilla's universe...but more importantly, ANGUIRUS IS BACK, BABY! Streamer and voice actor Lauren Goodnight joins us to talk all those monsters, dubs, and metal slug aliens disguised as eerie women in sequins who make us question our sexualities. We get into the restraints that affected each monster's role, how this whole endeavor came together, and King Ghidorah's brutal ass-kicking.

Shed that rusted armor of patriotism! We're talking about the masterful sci-fi war film that includes an undersea empire full of bright wigs, a cat-eyed sea dragon named Manda, and a flying submarine. Like the Gotengo's drill, we dig into this highly political movie that tackles both rampant nationalism and the real-life legend of Mu, and includes some of the most captivating and haunting special effects sequences Toho has ever produced.
