We are back in the wonderful world of Godzilla, this time with Anguirus by our side as our ride or die. The cockroach aliens from M Space Hunter Nebula have created World Children's Land which is operating as a front for their world domination plan. In the end Godzilla and Anguirus prove to Gigan and King Ghidorah that this planet ain't big enough for the both of us.Our Links:Ian WolffeSend us a text
Toys and games that were popular decades ago during Japan's Showa and Heisei periods are making a comeback in the current Reiwa era.
Come for the robot dinosaur, stay for the cutest bestest baby boy! 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. We talk about this era's odd use of Miki (and how this film makes an effort to fix it), eerie psychic songs, Mechagodzilla as corporate pride, all the smoke, sparks, and spotlights, and Derek's all-time favorite Godzilla character.Cover Art by: Radical GatorPart 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 SolomonShelley Sweeny interview with Vantage PointWikizilla

Or, Mothra vs. Godzilla; or, Mothra vs. Battra; or, Mothra and Battra vs. Godzilla. No matter the name, it's a kaiju smackdown with Mothra protecting the earth and Godzilla doing what he does best - causing trouble. Enjoy this Heisei flick featuring a beautiful Ifukube score, the delightful Cosmos, and the villainous Battra. It's MOTHRA MARCH MADNESS ya'll! Plus, some extra material from Dracula's Daughter with Naomi, and Peter Lorre's review of King of the Zombies (1941) on the Poverty Row Picture Show.We'll see you next time for The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) starring Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer!If you enjoy Camp Kaiju, please leave a rating and review.

Send us a textEric and Neil kick off "Monster March" with the second movie in the "Heisei" era of Godzilla movies, Godzilla Vs. Biollante. The monster effects are amazing, but a little too late to redeem a super slow movie. Run away from a giant monster and join us!
On this week episode DX and I discuss the unique kaiju from the Godzilla franchise. We dig through Showa, Heisei, Millennium, and Legendary to find out what kaiju stood out to us the most. Also we talk a tad about Jurassic World Rebirth. Remember to ANSWER THE CALL!!!!!
Episode spécial ! Nous vous parlons avec passion de la monstrueuse trilogie Gamera dite "Heisei", soit les 3 films réalisés par Shusuke Kaneko (et pas mal aussi par Shinji Higuchi) entre 1995 et 1999 :Gamera : Guardian of the universe (1995)Gamera : Attack of the legion (1996)Gamera : Revenge of Iris (1999)L'occasion aussi de parler un peu de la Daei et de son histoire contrariée et de l'arrivée de Gamera dans le monde des kaiju.Enjoy !
Back at it again with the Big G, and this time a Little G too. With special guests Rodan and Mechagodzilla, let's make some noise! We saw some good clean fun, plenty of butt whoopin', and last but certainly not least, a group of telepathic star children. So I would say it was par for the course as far as classic Godzilla films go.Our Links:Ian WolffeSend us a text
Un accident de capote et la mort de Godzilla, c'est le programme du jour !Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla (1994) : Après le flamboyant opus précédent et avant le feu d'artifice final de l'ère Heisei, la Toho nous offre un épisode un peu "filler" avec ce Space Godzilla aux enjeux limités et aux promesses modestesGodzilla vs Destoroyah (1995) : Cette fois c'est vraiment la fin. Godzilla brule mais nous ne regardons pas ailleurs, car avant de passer le témoin à Tristar, la Toho nous offre un feu d'artifice final pour la période HeiseiUn épisode que vous allez accueillir à bras ouverts, nous n'en doutons pas !Très bonne écoute.

Little is known about the boy detective in Japanese detective fiction despite his popularity. Who is he, and what mysteries does he unveil about cultural understandings of youth in Japanese society? Manga, Murder and Mystery: The Boy Detectives of Japan's Lost Generation (Bloomsbury, 2023) answers these questions by exploring the figure of the shonen (boy) detective in commercially successful manga series such as Detective Conan, The Case Files of Young Kindaichi, Death Note and Moriarty the Patriot. The book explores how these popular works tackle the crisis of young adult culture within the socioeconomic climate of Japan's 'lost decade' and Heisei era, broadly speaking. Mimi Okabe shows how detective manga materialized in a nation undergoing a state of crisis and how the boy detective emerged as a site of national trauma to address perceived youth problems but in thematically different ways. Mimi Okabe is an assistant professor of Japanese Language, Literature and Culture at Baruch College. Amanda Kennell is an Assistant Professor at the University of Notre Dame. Her first book, Alice in Japanese Wonderlands: Translation, Adaptation, Mediation (2023), is out now. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mothra enters the 90s, and she's only gotten more beautiful with age! Poet and YouTuber Donny Winter joins us for the Heisei era's turn to fantasy, as ancient alien Mothra and her fairies from a fallen civilization try to save us all from her edgy Hot Topic goth counterpart Battra and a very angry Godzilla. We talk about the wild previous versions of the script, all the throwbacks to the Showa era (and Indiana Jones references), the weird underuse of ACTUAL PSYCHIC Miki Saegusa, and much more. Check out Donny Winter's work: YouTube | Growing Up Godzilla | Publications Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective Cover Art Gallery | Patreon | Discord Email: skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com Theme song: "BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju Sources include: A Critical History and Filmography of Toho's Godzilla Series by David Kalat Godzilla FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the King of the Monsters by Brian Solomon Wikizilla
It's our busiest episode yet, with a giant six-hour extravaganza to get you through the month of November. Our main topic concerns the Gamera Heisei trilogy from the 1990s; directed by Kaneko Shusuke with special effects by Higuchi Shinji, these movies are towering classics of the Kaiju genre, and secretly some of the greatest superhero films ever made – and they're very fun to talk about. For the news segment, we discuss 343 Industries becoming Halo Studios and speculate about the future of the franchise; talk about the end of Firewalk, the studio behind Sony's massive bomb Firewalk; laugh about the bizarre state of Disney's Star Wars movies, and question what the hell is up at Warner Bros. In the Show n' Tell section, we give our first impressions on Atlus' amazing new JRPG Metaphor ReFantazio, alongside thoughts on Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero and Sonic x Shadow Generations, and take a trip to Sean's Beta Corner to discuss Monster Hunter Wilds. We debut a brand new segment, Hey, Listen!, in which Jonathan tries to explain what ‘Brat Summer' is/was to a very confused Sean, and for The Monthly Ten, Jonathan ranks the 10 absolute best gifts we could get Sean for his birthday this month. So yes – it's a busy, silly, very fun episode.

For the October installment of Purely Academic, Jonathan and Sean embrace the spooky season by talking Halloween – specifically, the recent Halloween reboot/sequel trilogy directed by David Gordon Green and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, with the hosts debating whether these films are muddled messes or interesting revisionist takes on the slasher genre. We break down some recent News, including Sony's controversial unveiling of the PS5 Pro, several new game announcements including Ghost of Yōtei and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and news of Kyoto Animation making an exciting new film and TV series in 2025. In our ‘Show ‘n Tell' segment, we discuss what we've been playing and watching recently, with Jonathan talking about the terrible new Joker movie, his experiences at the Denver Silent Film Festival, and finally finishing Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon, while Sean shares his thoughts on the 5.0 update of Genshin Impact, and we both discuss the outstanding new PS5 game Astro Bot. And finally, in the ‘Monthly Ten' segment, Sean is challenged by Jonathan to rank the Top 10 Anime That Aren't About the Power of Friendship. Enjoy, and we'll be back next month for an exciting episode reviewing the Heisei-era Gamera trilogy, a series of classic Kaiju films we've been promising to discuss for years now.

We close out our two part examination of the Godzilla/King Ghidorah beef with a close look at the Heisei era movie where Americans from the future presume to travel back in time and destroy Japan with a monstrous weapon and then force what's left over to conform to their political and economic interests. This time around the America/Japan relationship is bopped real hard on the nose. We also discuss the cultural and social conditions of Japan at the time which made American attitudes toward Japan so weird and more than a little racist. Don't worry though, there's plenty of chatter about Godzilla, King Ghidorah and the peerless thrill of big, loud, Japanese special effects movies.
Joined by guest host Dr. Samantha Perez, the Krewe sits down with Princeton's Nathan Ledbetter to unpack how the term "samurai" evolved over the centuries and dig into foreign-born samurai, specifically Yasuke.

Join us as we once again join Godzilla as he lays waste to Tokyo but this time in color in the 1980s. Godzilla was at the start of the Cold War and he comes back in this first of the Heisei era series to be at the end of it.

Join us to find out.

Hop into your time machine and pilot your Mecha, because Godzilla expert Jayce joins us for King Ghidorah's entrance into the Heisei era! This fantastical sci-fi romp is a response to America's blockbusters like Back to the Future and a celebration of Showa era monster fights, but it's also surprisingly wrapped up in Japanese/American economic relations (yes, we're talking about the economy again.) We also get into the complicated time travel that explores Godzilla's origins, Kawakita's special effects, the loveable and Terminator-esque M-11 Android, and of course, the time Godzilla cried.

Godzilla using his atomic breath is the exact kind of flame that attracts moths. Specifically Mothra! As Cinema To The Letter continues to celebrate Godzilla's 70th anniversary, Thomas, Bryan, and special guest Chris Luciantonio are here to discuss the 1992 film Godzilla vs Mothra! Together, they'll answer all the crucial questions. What separates Godzilla's late 20th-century Heisei era from the classic Showa era? Does this kaiju film have anything to say about the environment in a totally subtle fashion? How fun are Ferris wheels once they smack you upside the head thanks to a giant moth monster? Well, stop listening to those twin fairies singing the Mothra song so you can listen in to find out!
