    This one's for the sad girlies! The Millennium era's Frankenstein-like reinvention of Mechagodzilla brings us the long-awaited BONES GODZILLA, as the original creature's corpse is resurrected as a cyborg known as Kiryu who cries blood and shoots an ice bubble. We get into whether this robot dinosaur is a haunted tragic figure or a redemptive heroic one, and the many conflicting themes of loss, self-loathing, the value of life, and ambiguous character ages. Plus, plenty of Evangelion and Megaguirus talk!Cover Art by: Alo (Zketchart)Instagram | BlueskyPart of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover Art Gallery⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: A Critical History and Filmography of Toho's Godzilla Series by David KalatGodzilla FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the King of the Monsters by Brian SolomonWikizilla

    The Frankenstein Brothers are ready to rumble! In this sorta-kinda sequel to Frankenstein vs. Baragon and the final Japanese/American collab with UPA, gargantuan bros Sanda and Gaira -- one friendly and peace-loving, one violent and hungry -- have a battle to the death, but not before extensive sequences of military fights, people-eating, and a big musical number. We get into this film's underlying darkness, the troubles with lead Russ Tamblyn (of Twin Peaks!), and a strangely empty story for the human characters.Cover Art by: DougPart of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover Art Gallery⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: A Critical History and Filmography of Toho's Godzilla Series by David KalatIshirō Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa by by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiGodzilla FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the King of the Monsters by Brian SolomonYouTube Compilation of UPA Version DifferencesWikizilla

In what was originally conceived as the finale of the Heisei era, big names Mechagodzilla, Rodan, and even a new Baby Godzilla arrive for this nature vs. technology story, where humans and the military are unambiguously the bad guys and the monsters are just seeking their adopted family.

    It's the infamous American movie that enraged Godzilla fans and the movie industry alike, featuring a fish-eating pregnant iguana conceived as a sexy pin-up... the one and only Zilla! We take a deep dive into the filmography of Roland Emmerich -- master of disaster (and so far the only openly queer person to ever direct a Godzilla movie, sorry!) -- to determine that, if this isn't a good Godzilla movie, is it at least a good Emmerich movie? And of course, we talk Godzilla as an accidental trans ace icon, why Maria Pitillo deserved better (and Matthew Broderick deserved worse), The Simpsons connections, bad comedy, unsung practical effects heroes, and much more!

    Spring flowers are in bloom, and so is our girl Biollante! Gavin from The Mixed Reviews joins us for Kazuki Ōmori's masterful Heisei film featuring one of the wildest and most complex monster designs of all time. And the only chimera weirder than a Godzilla/rose/human hybrid is the movie itself -- a combo of 80s genetic horror, James Bond, teen psychics, and hover tanks that comes from a story by a dentist and features music by the Dragon Quest composer. We talk about this movie's strange conception, torch-passing to a new generation, genetic engineering fears, mindblowing special effects, and more!

Part Mothra sequel, part Godzilla and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, this unpredictable ride features a cast of favorites and a crew operating on their A-games for one of the best Showa-era films.

    The King of the Monsters fights the Eighth Wonder of the World in this massive crossover! The creative team behind the original Godzilla reunited for this fascinating transition movie that's half a meta satire of the corporate television industry, and half a silly wrestling match between two very anthropomorphized kaiju. We talk Ishirō Honda's attempts to make Toho's comedy celebration smarter, Eiji Tsubaraya's octopus obsession, the unfortunate Kong suit design, the VERY unfortunate racism (and its roots in King Kong as a whole), and how this movie changed Godzilla forever.

    Godzilla does Y2K! The first installment of the Millennium era is an action-heavy sci-fi romp featuring aliens, technological fears, and a scrappy network of likeable Godzilla nerds... and it's very much a direct response to Roland Emmerich's 1998 American movie. We talk all about this amazing Godzilla design, all the Independence Day references, some unfortunate digital effects (and an even more unfortunate human villain), and much more!

    Godzilla gets rebooted for the 80s! The first film in the Heisei era is a lot of things: a sequel to the original, a bit of a remake, sometimes a horror movie with mummified corpses, sometimes a political Cold War drama, sometimes a disaster movie with a plucky journalist, sometimes a fantastical sci-fi with a hovering supership, and constantly an experiment in innovation and animatronics that doesn't always succeed, but is interesting nevertheless.

    The first attempt at a Godzilla sequel was rushed into production, resulting in an action-oriented movie that sort of explores themes of civilians in war, but doesn't go the full mile. Alongside a new director and composer, a new slim Godzilla, and our first new kaiju in Anguirus… we also get lesser repeats of the first movie and some disappointing special effects. Listen to us answer the questions: How SMOKING HOT is Tsukioka? Why are the monster fights in superspeed? Is Godzilla attracted to light or not? What the heck is Gigantis, the Fire Monster? And more!
