Ain't no monster like a triphibian monster. Baby Gappa is stolen from its island home, so mama and papa must destroy Japan to save the tyke. Kaiju cinema may have peaked in the 60s, but GAPPA is all-but-forgotten today, despite memorable effects. Oh. But wait. Could it be the blackface? It might be that... well... well... well, join us in that discussion along with the Gappa Family, Peter Lorre, and more! Plus, Monster from a Prehistoric Planet (the US release), women in classic sci-fi, and why, if given the choice between Gappa and Ebirah, the answer is always Gamera.Thanks for listening, friends!

Japan's political scene is changing—from new parties rising in visibility to historic moments in national leadership—so the Krewe is bringing you a timely crash course. Political analyst Tobias Harris (Founder & Principal of Japan Foresight) joins the pod to break down the foundations of Japan's government system, how it compares to the U.S., and why voters view politics the way they do. We explore the major and emerging parties shaping the landscape, the issues driving debate today, and how international pressures and global events influence domestic policy. Tobias also sheds light on the media's role in shaping public perception and political accountability.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Nearly nine years in the making, we have reached our 300th episode! To mark the occasion, we invited some guests to join the regular team: Tom Jolliffe is a screenwriter and producer, who has appeared on the show before; Nathan Lunn, who has recently completed his book on Kaiju films which will be published next year, and Will Bentley, who has also contributed in the past! We have a lot to get through this week so take a deep breath and lets dive in! Kicking off with THE BITTER TASTE (4Digital Media), in which a former pentathlete must rely on her old skills to survive strange goings-on at an old castle! PLEASE DON'T FEED THE CHILDREN (Signature Entertainment) is the latest post-apocalypse-set film and one of two on this episode! THE CELLAR (4Digital Media) is an independent horror film in which a young woman tries to outwit and escape from her captors. THE PARTISAN (High Fliers) is a WW2 thriller set in rural France and based upon the true-life spy, Krystyna Skarbek. BORELEY RECTORY: THE AWAKENING (Kaleidoscope Film Distribution) is the latest of a long line of films made about the most haunted place in England! FORGIVE US ALL (Lightbulb Film Distribution) is the 2nd post-apocalypse set film for this week, albeit this one is set in Australia... THE HOUSE AT HALLOW END (Signature Entertainment) is a horror film in which a young mother finds her baby at risk from supernatural forces! GUNS AND MOSES (4Digital Media) is an off-kilter detective story about a Rabbi trying to solve a murder. SNOW ANGEL (4Digital Media) finds a young woman dealing with a traumatic event that she can't seem to escape from STRANGE HARVEST (Vertigo Releasing) is a faux documentary about the manhunt for a serial killer who may have a supernatural agenda. Our Short Shot is the excellent THE SECOND TIME AROUND, in which a young waitress is visited by an old woman at closing time. Usually we would place a link for the film, but you can find it on the Channel 4 streaming app! Our DTV Throwback was chosen by guest Tom Jolliffe: CONUNDRUM is a police procedural/murder mystery starring Michael Beihn and Marge Helgenberger as cops trying to bust a triad smuggling operation.

On this Geek Freaks Headlines mini, we react to the new teaser for the sequel to Minus One, now titled Godzilla Minus Zero. We call out the sharp new logo, confirm Takashi Yamazaki's return as writer, director, and VFX lead, and note that much of the Oscar-winning crew is back. We also revisit the Minus One cliffhanger around Noriko's neck mark and what a spreading “Godzilla cell” could mean for the next story. 00:00 New title revealed, teaser impressions, and the GODZILLA -0.0 logo00:20 Yamazaki returns and why the Minus One crew's efficiency matters00:33 Noriko's neck mark explained and the “Godzilla cell” setup00:43 How a spreading G-cell could shape the sequel's stakes00:50 Wrap and what we'll be watching nextThe sequel is officially called Godzilla Minus Zero with a clean new -0.0 logo. Takashi Yamazaki is back to write, direct, and lead VFX, along with key Minus One team members. The Minus One crew's results on a modest budget remain a model big studios should study. Noriko's lingering mark is tied to a “Godzilla cell,” setting up a biological threat that could escalate in the sequel. “New Godzilla just announced. It's going to be called Godzilla -0.” “Takashi is coming back to write, direct. He's going to lead the VFX team.” “One of the key things they have to explore in this one is the cliffhanger from the last one, when Noriko had the mark on her neck.” If you enjoyed this breakdown, hit subscribe, leave a quick review, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaks.All news discussed on our shows comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com.Website: GeekFreaksPodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcastThreads: https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/geekfreakspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastWhat do you think the G-cell twist means for Minus Zero?

Happy Halloween, Monster Children! Your host, Vinnie Kami, returns to introduce another classic monster tale--but not his disgruntled butler, Kappa Joe! No, Joe gave himself the night off and sent his carnivorous Gen Z slang-speaking plant, "Violet," to fill in for him. It's apropos, because this episode's story is "Green Thoughts" by John Collier, which inspired 1960's The Little Shop of Horrors, which led to an off-Broadway musical in the early 1980s, and finally to a 1986 film adaptation of the musical directed by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis. The reader is the Monster Island Legal Action Team's very own Gary Steward, who bears a striking resemblance to Seymour from the musical. But this is assuming Mr. Kami can decipher what “Vi” is saying without an ancient tome to translate. Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

The latest installment in the Halloween Drive-In series takes a deep dive into the colossal clash between two beloved titans: Godzilla and King Kong. Christian Ashley and TJ Blackwell kick things off by reminiscing about the rich history of monster mashups in cinema, setting the stage for their review of the 2021 blockbuster, 'Godzilla Vs Kong'. With a dynamic interplay of wit and humor, they dissect the film's premise, which sees these iconic creatures pitted against each other in spectacular battles that stir excitement and nostalgia alike. The duo emphasizes the film's popcorn movie essence—encouraging viewers to turn off their brains and simply enjoy the visual spectacle of oversized creatures wreaking havoc. They don't shy away from discussing the underlying themes of polarization, cleverly connecting the monster fights to the broader societal divides of 2025, making for an engaging commentary that resonates with current audiences.Ashley and Blackwell explore the character dynamics between Godzilla and Kong, highlighting their unique attributes and motivations. Godzilla, the reigning king, embodies raw power and destructive capability, while Kong represents the more relatable struggle of survival and identity. Their banter reflects a playful rivalry, as they each advocate for their chosen titan while acknowledging the merits of the other. The conversation flows seamlessly from the epic battles on aircraft carriers to the intricacies of the Hollow Earth concept, with Ashley providing a brief yet insightful synopsis of the film's plot. They delve into the film's critiques, including the often mediocre human subplots that serve as mere interludes between action sequences. Yet, despite these flaws, they both agree that the film succeeds in delivering thrilling monster action—a quality that ultimately defines it as a quintessential popcorn flick.As the episode reaches its climax, the hosts engage in a spirited debate about the film's implications regarding technology and nature, touching upon the themes of environmental stewardship and the consequences of hubris in the face of nature's might. They ponder whether the film serves as an allegory for modern technological dilemmas, all while maintaining a light-hearted approach that invites listeners to reflect without getting bogged down in heavy analysis. Concluding with a mix of ratings and personal anecdotes, the episode captures the essence of what makes 'Godzilla Vs Kong' a fun, if not entirely profound, cinematic experience—one that not only entertains but also sparks conversations about the deeper meanings behind these epic confrontations in the world of Kaiju cinema.Takeaways: Christian and TJ totally vibe on how "Godzilla Vs. Kong" is just pure, unadulterated fun, a perfect flick to zone out and enjoy the chaos without overthinking it. They dish out some deep thoughts on the film's characters, highlighting how both King Kong and Godzilla have layers, even without a ton of dialogue – a rare feat in monster mayhem movies. Amidst all the epic battles, the boys chat about the film's nod to environmental themes, suggesting that the monsters symbolize nature's power and balance, which is pretty profound for a popcorn flick. The hosts crack jokes about how the movie's human plot is as thin as a paper plate, but they still appreciate the nostalgia and references to the classic monster mashups of the past. They weigh in on the age-old debate of Team Godzilla vs. Team Kong, with TJ leaning towards Godzilla for the nostalgia, while Christian feels a soft spot for Kong's humanity. In a lighthearted roast, they agree that while the visuals are mind-blowing, the plot could use a little more meat on its bones, making it a classic case of style over substance. .You can leave a one-time gift, purchase some SG merch, or become a member on our website:
