THE YOLK'S ON MONSTER PARTY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD hatch a new episode chronicling the egg-citing, eggs-traordinary, and eggs-tensive history of a unique subcategory of genre delicacies. Scramble to your listening devices and enjoy this audio omelet that we're calling... MONSTER EGGS! Eggs have a reputation for showing up in many of the more unusual horror, sci-fi, and fantasy cinematic offerings. Whether it's the gooey, leathery eggs from the Alien film and TV franchise (including the cracked egg on the first Alien movie poster!), the colorful but gigantic egg of Mothra, the gelatinous eggs of a space vampire in the B-movie classic Queen of Blood, the Horta eggs from the original Star Trek series, or the dragon eggs from Game of Thrones, these shelled showmen have sparked the imaginations of monster kids for generations. And for MONSTER PARTY, they've inspired the question: "I wonder how that egg would taste?" WE THOUGHT THIS TOPIC WAS SO EGG-CEPTIONAL, WE DECIDED TO FORGO A GUEST AND KEEP ALL THIS HARD-BOILED ACTION TO OURSELVES. MINUS THE EGG SALAD. YOU'RE WELCOME, LARRY.

Send us Fan MailGodzilla doesn't just fight monsters in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. He fights our attention spans, our nostalgia, and a human plot that sometimes feels like it was written by a committee of eco-terrorists and stressed-out scientists. We lean into all of it, because the MonsterVerse is at its best when it's loud, mythic, and just a little ridiculous.We start with Rich's MonsterVerse on-ramp and his homework watch: Godzilla (2014) and Kong: Skull Island. That contrast sparks a real debate about pacing, visibility, and vibe. Do you want a slow, shadowy build where the kaiju are treated like a natural disaster, or do you want bright daylight brawls and an instantly lovable Kong who shows up and earns your loyalty fast?Then we get to the main event: Monarch, Titans, and the chaos of Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah (Monster Zero). We dig into the lore that makes this movie catnip for fans, including ancient worship, the idea of Godzilla as nature's balance, and the franchise callbacks baked into the iconic sounds and themes. We also call out what doesn't work, especially Emma Russell's plan and the way the human drama can undercut the stakes, even as the set pieces, like the Fenway Park destruction, absolutely deliver.If you're into kaiju movies, MonsterVerse worldbuilding, or you're gearing up for Godzilla vs Kong, hit play and come argue with us.

Este iba a ser un podcast sobre «Godzilla, Japón bajo el terror del monstruo» y alguna otra película con la que acompañarla. Pero pudo más el entusiasmo. Y así ha acabado convirtiéndose en la primera entrega de una serie de episodios que vamos a dedicar a todas las películas japonesas de Godzilla. Empezamos por la era Showa (1954-1975), que abarca quince películas: desde la original hasta «El regreso de Mechagodzilla». Dos décadas que dan cuenta de la transformación radical que experimentó la saga, desde el duelo, la tristeza esperanzada y el terror atómico que impregnan la primera entrega hasta el festival de monstruos, peleas y colorido pop en el que terminaron convirtiéndose las últimas películas. Lejos de criticar esta deriva, preferimos celebrar la diversión sin complejos del Godzilla de la era Showa, sin dejar de profundizar en su primera entrega para rastrear cómo el trabajo minucioso de sus creadores y la sensibilidad hacia el clima social de la época cuajan en un auténtico milagro cinematográfico. También destacamos otros puntos álgidos, como las cualidades mitológicas de «Godzilla vs. Mothra», la comedia kaiju familiar de «El hijo de Godzilla», la irresistible aventura que atraviesa «Godzilla vs. Ebira», la combinación única de absurdo pop y crítica a la contaminación que da forma a «Godzilla vs. Hedora» o el delirio maravilloso de «Godzilla vs. Megalon». Tras los micros, Miguel Muñoz Garnica y José Luis Forte. Música: Akira Ifukube - BSO de «Godzilla» (1954) Aviador Dro - El retorno de Godzilla

We're filling in the movie we missed with a diamond-stealing space jellyfish! We venture back to the 60s for one of Honda's sci-fi flicks, couched between better-remembered movies with Mothra and Ghidorah, and plagued with limitations on its otherwise inventive special effects. We talk about how this movie went from from global alien invasion epic to gangster/diamond heist romp, Robert Dunham as delightfully roguish super spy diamond insurance man Mark Jackson, and much more.Take our Glitterjaw Listener Survey!Cover Art by: ⁠Doug!Part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover Art Gallery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiThe Toho Studios Story: A History and Complete Filmography by Stuart Galbraith IVWikizilla

Feel the sweat and the tropical breezes; it’s time to discuss Tiki Terrors and its tropical horror cousins. Transport yourself to an island in the South Pacific or the Caribbean. The exoticism and the removal from “civilization” provide the grounds for some evocative scares. These movies have been with us since the Golden Age. Think King Kong and The Island of Lost Souls. Embrace the mystery and heat, and learn from some veteran Crypticon panelists as they talk all things Tiki Terror. Friend of the Scariest Things, Brian Callahan, hosted a panel at Crypticon Seattle to guide us through a fateful trip to discover what lurks at the edge of the known world. Beware of cultural misappropriation and cultural stereotypes. Cultural sensitivity falls by the wayside here. The edge of the known universe gets short shrift when it comes to cultural respect. Context matters. Tiki and tropical-themed horror movies had their heyday in the ’50s and ’60s when Polynesia still felt very remote, and honestly, it was a different time. At the same time, the film industries of places like the Philippines can export some of their culture through B-movies. For the purposes of this discussion, the criteria for what movies got discussed were reasonably broad. It extended from Polynesia to some of the Voodoo themes on the Atlantic side. If it takes place on a remote island, it would be fair game for discussion. I came away from this session with a roster of films to check out, and that is the beauty of these panel talks. Brian was amazing on the trigger; there was a whole roster of films that were at his fingertips, and he was able to feather in movies, even ones that came from the audience. It was a very niche topic, but attendees came for the deep-cut discussion and were rewarded. This panel was the last panel from the Friday session, and a number of us prepared by wearing Aloha shirts for the event. These are veteran panelists, and it shows. I could listen to Tony Kay talk horror all day! He is one of the best panelists at Crypticon’s disposal. If you don’t come out of this recording with some new movies to check out, you probably are already an expert! Tony Kay, Brian Callahan, and Brien Gorham decked out in Aloha shirts and talking Tiki Horror at Crypticon Seattle 2026 Tiki Terror and Tropical Horrors: Crypticon Seattle Panel Recording Brian Callahan – HostTony Kay- PanelistBrien Gorham – Panelist Here is the panel recording from Crypticon Seattle.

392 Japan Recap Godzilla Zipline Spider Man Trailer White Dragon UpdateDoom Scrolling IntroWe're back after a three-week gap, and it's for legit reasons: Joe got wrecked by strep throat, tried to power through a three-hour gig anyway, lost his voice, and then the Foos immediately went on their Japan trip—where the jet lag, nonstop walking, and full itinerary left zero energy for a hotel-room episode.Japan recap hits the highlights without turning into a travel documentary: derpy Godzilla hat and flappy Mothra wing hat reveals, why tourist areas are totally fine for a first trip, the pub stop on St. Patrick's Day, KFC-at-Christmas curiosity, and the most chaotic comfort-food tradition flex—finding a Shakey's in Tokyo for Joe's birthday.They break down the drinking and convenience store life (Strong Zero discourse included), compare Osaka vs Tokyo vibes, and talk about learning Japan's train system the hard way—eventually leveling up with digital Suica.Big trip moments: a preseason baseball game at the Tokyo Dome (chants, drumlines, beer girls with kegs on their backs), Universal Studios Japan (including the Donkey Kong add-on to Super Nintendo World), Tokyo DisneySea for a chill, nautical-themed park day, and the bullet train ride where they paid extra for the Mount Fuji side and almost slept through the view.The crown jewel: Awaji Island's Shin Godzilla Zipline—literally zipping into Godzilla's mouth—plus the museum, the mission-style attraction, and the absolutely ridiculous plush Godzilla backpack haul.They also nerd out on Japan's stamp culture (goshuin vs eki stamp books), the scavenger-hunt vibe of stamp rallies, and a weirdly fascinating rabbit hole: “mosquito” high-frequency anti-loitering devices that younger ears can hear.Geeking Out is a quick-fire catch-up: the Spider-Man trailer hype and Easter eggs (street-level vibes, Punisher, Hulk/Bruce Banner, Scorpion, and potential Man-Spider energy), the ridiculously long Rockstar breakdown video of a short trailer, and a long-awaited update—The Legend of the White Dragon finally getting a real release date after years of “coming soon” purgatory. They also rapid-list what they're watching again now that they're home: Shrinking, Monarch, Paradise, The Pit, Vladimir, plus chatter about another Mummy movie and getting back to Daredevil and For All Mankind.Chapters(0:00) Doom Scrolling Intro(5:16) Intro(5:55) Where We've Been Strep Throat Lost Voice Three Weeks Off(7:13) Japan Recap Godzilla Hat Mothra Hat Souvenirs-Tourist Spots vs Tourist Traps First Trip Logic-Osaka vs Tokyo Vibes Trains Suica Culture Shock-Strong Zero Convenience Store Life-Tokyo Dome Baseball Game Chants Beer Girls-Universal Studios Japan Super Nintendo World Donkey Kong-Tokyo DisneySea Chill Park Day-Shinkansen Bullet Train Mount Fuji Side-Shin Godzilla Zipline Awaji Island Museum Missions-Stamps Goshuin Eki Stamps Stamp Rally Quest-Mosquito High Frequency Anti Loitering Devices(1:01:55) Geeking Out Spider Man Trailer Rockstar Breakdown Video-Legend of the White Dragon Release Date Update-What We're Watching Shrinking Monarch Paradise The Pit Vladimir(1:14:18) Outro + Doom Scrolling OutroSpider Man trailer, Punisher, Hulk, Scorpion, Man Spider, Rockstar trailer breakdown, Legend of the White Dragon, Jason David Frank, Japan trip recap, Osaka, Tokyo, Tokyo Dome, Universal Studios Japan, Tokyo DisneySea, Shinkansen, Mount Fuji, Shin Godzilla zipline, Awaji Island, Strong Zero, Suica, goshuin, eki stamps, mosquito anti loitering device

Jordan Morris is known to Maximum Fun fans as the funny and engaging co-host of Jordan, Jesse, Go! and Free With Ads. He also makes comics, such as the new Predator: Bloodshed series. It's all about the Predator, monster sci-fi icon, and his efforts to purchase and install a new shed to put all his blood in. He goes to Home Depot, he tries building one himself after watching YouTube videos, but all the sheds leak blood out, ruining the Predator's begonias. None of that is true. But there really is a Predator: Bloodshed series, Jordan is behind it, and it's quite entertaining, as is Jordan. On our program, Jordan tells us all about the many iterations of Godzilla and how the canonical word for the sound Godzilla makes is “skreeonk.” Will it be hard to sleep thinking about Godzilla? No. You're not a building. You'll be fine. Get your copy of Predator: Bloodshed wherever comics are sold.

What happens when a deep red moth appears out of nowhere… follows you for three days… and lays her eggs on your hand? In this unforgettable encore episode of Weird Real-Life Stories, Gina Gayle Gray shares one of the most intimate and mysterious spiritual experiences of her life — and Dr. Pat joins her to decode the deeper messages hidden within. Together, they explore the symbolism of the moth as a messenger of transformation, guardianship, and rebirth — and draw surprising connections between Gina's lived experience and the legendary moth goddess Mothra from the Godzilla universe. Dr. Pat takes the conversation into deeper realms, exploring the myth of Mothra. Born in 1961 (just like Gina), Mothra is no ordinary monster — she is a symbol of life, protection, feminine power, and rebirth. Often seen as a guardian, a nurturer, and even a mother to Godzilla himself, Mothra's mythology mirrors Gina's real-life experience in uncanny ways. Could this moth have carried a message from beyond the veil? Was she a sign from Spencer? A Spirit midwife delivering new life — or a reminder of cycles still unfolding? What does it mean to be chosen by Spirit? Why do these encounters defy logic but feel undeniably real? Tune in to hear how weird becomes sacred and REAL, how Spirit keeps sending messages of synchronicity, soul talk, and sacred mystery… and remember: Spirit is always speaking — in ways you never expect, but are REAL. It's time to remember how to "Listen To The Silence" to receive Messages & Miracles Always and In All Ways ... in the words of Spencer!

A list made of our hopes and dreams for the new year, shared with all of our beloved listeners. We've discovered Frank's weakness. (It's Mothra.) Brian really loves early-stage concept art. Frank reveals Mike's perfect game - a Legacy game comprised entirely of stickers. "When in doubt, kill a Nazi." Not a board game, but a fun set of puzzles for people who like word searches that quickly get out of hand. What are you looking forward to playing in 2026? What are we overlooking? Come visit our Discord server to chat with us and other like-minded game nerds! As always, thank you for listening. Please consider writing us an iTunes review if you like what you hear!

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!

Mechagodzilla is a city?! The second installment of the divisive anime trilogy is another dour one, but it's bolstered by unique takes on classic Godzilla lore -- from telepathic indigenous worshipers of Mothra (who is not in this movie) to the nanotech Mechagodzilla that threatens to take over the planet. But among this hard sci-fi nature vs. technology conversation is still the same pacing problems, self-conscious aversion to monster fights, and weird issues with women that plague this trilogy, and we can only hope... will it get better at the end?Part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: Godzilla: The First 70 Years by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiWikizillaGigazine Interview with the creative team

Nathan and Ryan take a trip back to the Heisei era for Godzilla vs. Mothra, a kaiju clash that pits the King of the Monsters against the Queen of the Monsters in an environmental epic! The hosts discuss how this entry leans heavily into themes of nature's revenge, corporate greed, and giant bug warfare — all while delivering some of the most colorful effects and creature battles of the series. Is this a return to form for Godzilla, or just a flashy remake of an old favorite? Find out as the Drive-In Double Feature crew breaks down this fan-favorite monster showdown!

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a two parter anyways. 1961 was not the most ground breaking year for horror movies, well, as far as the big hitter films are concerned anyways. The highs are really high & the lows are few & far between. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1961? Well, here we have the top 3. A slew of also rans.

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!⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Growing Up Godzilla⁠ | ⁠PublicationsCover Art by: Ryan aka DearZeus (Bluesky⁠)Part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: Godzilla: The First 70 Years by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiMasaaki Tezuka InterviewWikizilla

“What Is Starfleet?” The long-teased documentary by Umberto Ortegas has finally been released. “Starfleet presents themselves as our quadrant's shining example of duty, honor, peacekeeping,” says the little brother of Erica Ortegas, who flies the ship. “But what separates a federation from an empire? Both colonize. Both impose their laws and doctrines on others. Are they explorers as they claim? Or soldiers as they appear? They call their vessels starships. What distinguishes them from warships?” Filming a mission during which the Enterprise is ordered to transport cargo that turns out to be a sentient being that turns out to have been transformed into a weapon certainly begs answers to those questions. As viewers, we watch the findings of this young investigative reporter unfold and lead him down a path he may not have expected.

In this week's episode Mark talks to director Ben Wheatley. In this archival edition recorded at the BFI Southbank back in May 2023, Ben had freshly completed The Meg 2: The Trench, starring the inimitable Jason Statham. Mark and Ben dive into making of The Meg, and into the monster-movie inspirations that informed it, which include the 1961 classic Mothra, and Godzilla. And the incredible work of the legendary Ray Harryhausen.

The skyline cracked open in a bright flash. Buildings around us collapsed into dust. There was no way out. Sirens wailed, the air stank of ozone, and there was a huge, deep roar that shook the ground around us. Then came another roar and another. Suddenly, we saw Mothra through the smoke. There was also King Ghidorah looming over the skyline. Then Megalon burst from the rubble. Finally, we saw the king of monsters. It was Godzilla: Tokyo Clash by Aaron Donog and Prospero Hall from Funko Games with art by Jason Kang.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/08/09/godzilla-tokyo-clash-saturday-review/Useful LinksGodzilla: Tokyo Clash: https://magicmadhouse.co.uk/funko-godzilla-tokyo-clashRulebook: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/203628/godzilla-tokyo-clash-instructionsFunko Games: https://www.vividtoysandgames.co.uk/product-category/funko-gamesBGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/303051/godzilla-tokyo-clashMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Sound Effects: ZapSplatLink: https://www.zapsplat.com/Music: Cinema Blockbuster Trailer 12 by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/559-cinema-blockbuster-trailer-12Music by: Bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: JZAUGQN0358ACXRVArtist: : Benjamin LazzarusSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Godzilla's on island time until Ebirah and Mothra crash the party, while a terrorist organization enslaves Infant Island natives for their nefarious plans. But before things get too serious, the jazz music, teen dance marathons, and wise-cracking safecrackers will keep this breezy flick rockin' and rollin'. Plus, discussions on director Jun Fukuda and the film's hidden themes with Godzilla scholar Beth Bredlau!

Today I'm delighted to host comics writer and artist Sophie Campbell on the show. Sophie has recently kicked off both writing and drawing Volume 8 of DC's favorite Maiden of Might, Kara Zor-El or Supergirl. As a longtime fan of the character, I've thoroughly enjoyed Sophie's take pulling from the foundational 70s era and still finding room to make it distinctly her own. We ease into the conversation talking about Kara's appreances on food because Sophie is such a big cereal fan, explore the imprint of the 70s on Sophie including how important fashion and costumes are, debate who the best werewolf in the DC Universe is, why she wanted to include Lesla at the beginning of this new arc, returning to Midvale, and Sophie's love of kaiju inlcuding touching on her Mothra: Queen of Monsters series with IDW. Issue three is out on stands now. Make sure to find Sophie on BlueSky Follow Comic Book Yeti

The conversation touches on the film's themes, such as the insignificance of personal problems against global threats, and critiques the marketing strategies that may have contributed to its underwhelming box office results. The hosts discuss scientific inaccuracies, potential improvements, and casting alternatives, asserting that while the film has its flaws, it remains enjoyable. They conclude with suggestions for future explorations within the franchise, including their next episode focus on "Highlander 2: The Quickening."   Notes Introduction and Personal Connections to Godzilla (00:00 - 10:59) Hosts introduce guest Nic Woolfe for their fifth episode together Discussion of personal connections to Godzilla franchise Nick's love for Kaiju came from Power Rangers, Rugrats' Reptar, and later access to classic Godzilla films The hosts establish they all genuinely enjoy the 2019 Godzilla film Movie cost between 170-200 million but only made 387 million, falling short of the $400 million target MonsterVerse Context and Prior Films (10:59 - 21:41) Discussion of 2014 Godzilla film directed by Gareth Edwards as the MonsterVerse starting point Brief mentions of Kong: Skull Island as part of the MonsterVerse Sam shares her family history with Godzilla, particularly her mother's love for monster movies Case discusses the 80s-90s Godzilla marketing push in Western media MonsterVerse is praised for continuing to improve since the 2014 film ️ Visual Elements and Character Appreciation (21:42 - 32:54) Praise for Ghidorah being portrayed as a hurricane with lightning everywhere it goes Discussion of the elemental nature of the Titans: Ghidorah (wind), Godzilla (water), Rodan (fire), Mothra (earth) Appreciation for the film's use of mythology and inclusion of Mothra's twins Strong praise for the cast including Charles Dance, Bradley Whitford, Ken Watanabe Discussion of the emotional scene where Serizawa sacrifices himself Themes and Human Elements (32:54 - 42:52) Comparison between Godzilla: King of Monsters and other Godzilla films including Shin Godzilla Discussion of the family storyline involving Mark and Emma Russell Analysis of the theme that 'it's bigger than you' - problems being insignificant compared to global threats Appreciation for the resolution provided for human characters Commentary on the film's emotional resonance and how it saved Nick during a difficult time Critical Analysis of Marketing and Casting (42:52 - 52:52) Discussion about why the film didn't perform as well financially as expected Analysis of movie title 'King of the Monsters' being reused from the 1950s Suggestion that 'Rise of the Titans' might have been a better title Critique that the film lacked young, attractive lead characters that might draw wider audiences Observation that the film needed more explanation of the various Titans/monsters Scientific Inaccuracies and Improvement Ideas (52:53 - 01:02:28) Criticism of the 'alpha male' science regarding Titans as outdated Suggestion that more monster battles would have improved the film Discussion of effective scenes showing the scale of monsters compared to humans Praise for Ken Watanabe's sacrifice scene and emotional impact Analysis of how the film's marketing could have better emphasized human perspective shots Marketing Critique and Casting Alternatives (01:02:28 - 01:13:52) Proposal that more monster explanations would have helped broader audience engagement Discussion of how modern trailers often reveal too much compared to effective ones like Independence Day Suggestion that Sally Hawkins' character shouldn't have been killed early Idea that Charles Dance could have played Tom Hiddleston's character from Skull Island Commentary on how the film might have benefited from younger actors in certain roles Final Suggestions and Conclusions (01:13:52 - 01:24:43) Discussion about whether including Kong would have helped the film commercially Suggestion to better explain the costs and benefits of Titans to the ecosystem Proposal for including anti-Titan lobbyists or weapons manufacturers as antagonists Overall conclusion that despite its flaws, the film is still highly enjoyable Guest and host contact information shared Announcement that next episode will cover Highlander 2: The Quickening   Action items Unassigned Watch 'Godzilla Minus One' while it's still available on Netflix
