Godzilla Unmade is a series of three full-cast, fan-produced audio drama shorts based on never-produced Godzilla movie treatments. Surfacing 2020, from the Kaijusaurus Podcast!

In a time of unprecedented global anxiety, the world needs a hero. Or two. The Kaijusaurus Podcast boys - Steven Sloss and Ross Menzies - return to provide some much-needed distraction, and catch up with the world of Godzilla and kaiju, chat about their new projects, and look back on the year they've had since their last episode.

Due to popular demand, Steven and Ross make a long-awaited return! Since our last Summer, you've said gimme, gimme, gimme! So the Kaijusaurus Podcast boys responded to the S.O.S. and make a dramatic one-off return to cover a long-requested topic, recorded last night in Glasgow... (April Fool's Day 2019 Special)

It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for. In the final episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast, Steven and Ross review Toho's 2016 revival Shin Godzilla, then diverge on to reflecting on three years of kaiju podcasting, read out submissions and questions from listeners, and look ahead to the future. Kanpai, Kaijusaurus Podcast!

The Kaijusaurus Podcast boys are tasked with laying Godzilla's tormented spirit to rest as they discuss 2003's Godzilla: Tokyo SOS.

Listen now to find out!

Steven and Ross gear up and get into training to discuss 2002's Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. The duo take the end-of-year opportunity to look back on their favourite film and TV events of 2017, as well as make an important announcement about the future of the Kaijusaurus Podcast.

Steven and Ross awaken the sacred Guardian Monsters to combat the returning threat of Godzilla in the latest episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast! Discussing the fan-favourite 2001 entry Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, the pair muse on the film's earlier iterations, its title monsters, and much more.

Black holes! Alternate histories! Giant dragonflies! Catastrophically irresponsible insect-enthusiast children!

Steven welcomes Raffael Coronelli back to the Kaijusaurus Podcast, who since his last appearance on the show has written and published his own kaiju novel, Daikaiju Yuki.

A new Millennium dawns on the Kaijusaurus Podcast as hosts Steven and Ross take on the last Godzilla film of the 20th Century - 1999's Godzilla 2000: Millennium. Toho's franchise reboot has drawn a mixed reaction from fans over the years - what will the duo make of it? Listen now!

Steven, Ross, and Laura take to Facebook to broadcast a LIVE discussion of the most controversial film in the entire Godzilla series - Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin's 1998 Hollywood feature. Will the much-maligned film be given a fair trial, or will it be sent straight to the gallows? Either way, one thing's certain - there'll be a lot of fish.

Reaching the end of the Heisei run of Godzilla films is a milestone for the Kaijusaurus Podcast boys - but will Steven and Ross survive the micro-oxygenated rage of 1995′s Godzilla vs. Destoroyah? Listen now to find out!

Steven and Ross are tasked with piloting G-Force’s latest weapon MOGERA and bringing down the tyrannical Spacegodzilla in the new episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast! The duo discuss the much-maligned film at length, and introduce a possible new feature to the show - TRUE GRIT! Enjoy!

G-FORCE enlists Steven and Ross to watch and review 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II - the franchise's (early) 40th Anniversary production. But will the Kaijusaurus Podcast boys survive run ins with Rodan, Baby Godzilla, telepathic children, and Pteranodon robots? Oh, my!

Steven and Ross return to Infant Island in the Kaijusaurus Podcast’s discussion of 1992′s Godzilla vs. Mothra. However, this episode comes with a twist - could this be the first Godzilla film Ross doesn’t like? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Time travelers from the 23rd Century come back to warn the Kaijusaurus Podcast of a greatly convoluted scheme to erase it from time itself! Or at least, that's maybe how it feels - Steven and Ross wrap their heads around 1991's Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah in the latest episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast.

A rare UK screening of a new Godzilla film is the focus of the latest Kaijusaurus Podcast, as Steven and Ross chat about their experience at the Glasgow Film Festival's February 2017 screening of Shin Godzilla, as part of the festival's FrightFest strand. Warning: spoilers for Shin Godzilla (and many, many tangents) lie within!

In their first episode of 2017, Steven and Ross discuss the 1989 fan-favourite series entry Godzilla vs Biollante. But do their opinions of the film match up to the community’s high regard of it? And look out for that Saradian agent! Show notes here: http://kaijusaurus.tumblr.com/post/156050647289/kaijusaurus-podcast-22-godzilla-vs-biollante

The Kaijusaurus Podcast returns after a few months' hiatus with Steven and Ross' discussion of the 1984 series revival and reboot, The Return of Godzilla. The duo talk of everything from cold war tensions to how the film plays in the current global political climate - with time enough to also discuss their favourite ABBA tracks.

Before they move into the Heisei era, Steven and Ross take time out to reflect back on the Showa series of Godzilla movies, discussing how preconceptions and cultural osmosis affect the enjoyment of these films. PLUS - Ross’ memory is put to the test in the first episode of Who Wants to be a Godzillionare!

In the latest madcap episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast, Steven and Ross chew the fat on 1975′s Terror of Mechagodzilla, talking aquatic dinosaurs, mad scientists, Scotland’s national bard, silver-clad space apes, cyborg ladies, marriage, scientific assault, and prosthetic breasts.

The prophecy of the Azumi Royal Family is fulfilled as Steven and Ross take on 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla - the first film for Godzilla's mechanical doppleganger, and the final film for director Jun Fukuda. This episode also includes a brief discussion of Toho’s superhero show Zone Fighter! Show Notes - Special thanks to Tim over at kaijufiction.tumblr.com​ for his excellent submission. Do also check out his equally excellent blog! - The Zone Fighter monster Ross said looked like it had a “giant sponge” on - its back was Spyler, who appeared in the show’s fourth episode. - Godzilla ultimately appeared in five episodes of Zone Fighter: 4, 11, 15, 21 and 25. He faced and fought Gigan for the third and final time. - Jun Fukuda’s co-writer on the film was Hiroyasu Yamamura

Punch! Punch! PUNCH! The undersea kingdom of Seatopia unleashes its wrath on the Kaijusaurus Podcast as Steven, Ross, and Laura tackle the infamous Godzilla vs. Megalon - widely regarded as the worst of the franchise.

Perfect peace is finally achieved on the Kaijusaurus Podcast as Steven and Ross talk space cockroaches, children’s theme parks, and monsters of homework and too-strict mothers: it can only be 1972′s Godzilla vs. Gigan. SHOW NOTES - Apologies to all who submitted thoughts and opinions on Godzilla vs. Gigan and didn’t have them read out. We deliberately left out all listener submissions this episode as we’re currently working on more engaging ways to utilise listener submissions. We’ll have more on this soon. - Particular apologies to spacehunter-m on Tumblr, who’s blog I had many, many opportunities to mention this episode, but didn’t. Sorry! - More information on Akira Takarada’s announced run for office in Japan, can be found here: http://www.sankei.com/politics/news/160610/plt1606100037-n1.html (link in Japanese). He’s running with a newly-formed party, “Voice of Public Anger”, which specifically aims to challenge and repel Prime Minister Abe’s militarisation of the JSDF.

Steven goes it solo for the first time as the Kaijusaurus Podcast reviews and discusses the recently-released trailer for Toho’s much-anticipated return to the Japanese Godzilla series - Godzilla Resurgence.

Steven, Ross, and Laura take a daydream to Monster Island, befriend Minilla and stand up to their bullies - and tackle head-on the much-maligned All Monsters Attack, more commonly known as Godzilla’s Revenge, in the latest - and very manic - episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast.

The battle-cry that could save the world arrives on the Kaijusaurus Podcast! Steven and Ross navigate their way to Monsterland and discuss the utterly bombastic would-be finale that is 1968′s Destroy All Monsters!

Ross is back on the podcast as he and Steven navigate their way to Solgell Island, following the signal of a mysterious brainwave. What awaits them? Extreme weather, giant invertebrates, and the heir to the King of the Monsters - it can only be Son of Godzilla on the Kaijusaurus Podcast. Show Notes - Thanks to @nuclear-warrior​, @bretlowski​, @mekagojira3k​, and @bluskreem​ for submitting their thoughts and opinions on the film. - …and apologies to @blackeye15​, whose comments I forgot to read pout on the episode. Their submission follows: Son of Godzilla is on the lower end of Godzilla movies for me. Like Ebirah I appreciate a few things it does better as an adult but I think it’s still a weaker film. I have never been a big fan of Minya, I think we should keep him out, I do love Godzilla Jr. to be clear. I will admit I love the fire-breathing lesson scene and the final shot of Godzilla holding Minya. Other than that can’t really stand the little creature. I always figured Godzilla was adopting the little radioactive toad so I wondered why everyone was arguing about it over the internet when I was a kid. Apparently Nakajima considers Godzilla female which I’m totally okay with to be honest A creature named Godzilla is most certainly one of the few beefs I have with 1998’s Godzilla. Here’s the bits I’ve always loved as a kid: Kamacuras. It was super fun giving Godzilla a bunch of mook monsters he can easily tear apart rather than one equally strong monster. I keep hoping some day Toho has Godzilla fighting a swarm of them. I now appreciate the complicated marionette systems used for Kamacuras and Kumonga. None the less I think the end fight just drags on far too long at a poor pace. Kumonga shoots web! Godzilla shoots fire! Not very effective. Now Kumonga is on Godzilla! Now…nothing is happening until Minya shows up, though combo-attack was cool. It’s not really a bad Godzilla movie, it really isn’t ,it’s just kind of middle of the road and I’m very Minya biased. My favorite shot is when the Kamacuras are marching past the tower and two people are hiding, fantastic shot! I think Ebirah was more my ideal Godzilla on a jungle island adventure. - Due to the increasing length of the episodes, we will be curbing the length of listener submissions from here on out. More information on this will follow soon.

Laura returns to the podcast as she and Steven discuss and review Tsuburaya Productions’ recently-concluded Ultraman X, the latest instalment of the Ultraman franchise. Our hosts discuss favourite episodes, characters, monsters, and moments, as well as what didn't work for them about the series, and what they’d like to see in the upcoming film continuation.

In the first episode of 2016, Steven and Ross find themselves shipwrecked on a remote tropical island, protected by a giant crustacean, populated by oversized condors, and under siege by a cut-throat terrorist organisation. Can Godzilla save the day? Find out in the latest Kaijusaurus Podcast!

In defence of the Earth, we’re gonna fight to the last man, baby! Or maybe we’ll just discuss the film that contains that immortal line. Steven and Ross discuss 1965′s Invasion of Astro-Monster, aka Monster Zero - Steven’s personal favourite Godzilla film. But does newbie Ross agree?

Assassins! A monster summit! Political espionage! Tiny twin fairies! A three-headed space demon! Shooting stars! A four-way giant monster rumble! Ruffs! It can only be 1964's fan-favourite Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, which Steven and Ross sink their teeth into in the latest episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast.

Steven and Ross make their way through the fan-favourite fourth entry, Mothra vs. Godzilla, discussing everything from college students playing giant caterpillars to suit actors catching fire, and pitching alternate endings.

Steven and Ross resume their joint foray into the Godzilla canon, returning with thoughts and opinions on 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla - still the highest-grossing film in Toho's canon - including some of the film's unfortunate and insensitive dated material, and the lackluster nature of Kong himself.

Steven and Ross dive into the first Godzilla sequel, 1955's Godzilla Raids Again, and wax lyrical about how the film compares to its monstrous predecessor, and if it can match up to it.

The Kaijusaurus Podcast begins proper with Steven and Ross embarking on their kaiju-sized quest to watch and review every film in the thirty-strong Godzilla canon, and they begin in the only way they can: 1954′s Godzilla.

In the pilot episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast, Steven and Ross discuss the first episode of the 1978 Toei tokusatsu series, "Supaidaman" (Japanese Spider-man).
