Episode 173 – Monsters: Dark continent (2014)

We look at an unlikely and seemingly unconnected sequel to Gareth Edwards 2010 indy film that put him on the kaiju map. But will new director Tom Green (not that Tom Green) be able to take the torch and run or will this heavy handed war film fall flat? Find out as we examine 2014’s “Monsters: Dark Continent”

Episode 172 – Godzilla (2014)

Finally after feasting on scraps this season we get to the Hollywood project that likely made if possible for this podcast to exist. Reigniting a passion for kaiju and the Big G for over a decade this week we take a look back at the start of the Monsterverse and the Legendary films kaiju films by breaking down one of the most truly interesting looking takes on the monster that we have seen since the 1990s. This week we are delighted to offer to you all during these holidays a present of the film from our shared past, this is 2014’s “GODZILLA”!

Episode 171 – Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark (2013)

Here we are over half way through the Mega Shark series and we are only regretting them onto the Kaiju list a lot. This week the megaladon take on an AI powered submarine that looks just like him, but will this Mechagodzilla leaning plot be enough for us to take interest into this Asylum film or be a case of too little and too late, discover the answer with us as we dive into 2013’s “Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark”

Episode 170 – Big Ass Spider (2013)

We take a look at a throwback to giant insect films of yesterday’s Hollywood, but one that still failed to make a big splash. In a film that feels like it should be a part of the Asylum productions can this relatively star-studded film stand out or will this fail to muster up? Find out with us as we dive into “Big Ass Spider”

Episode 169 -Pacific Rim (2013)

Its rare that a major new Kaiju franchise is started in Hollywood, and even rarer still when its done so by an award winning director. Will a story about giant robots destroying alien ocean-emergent Kaiju sink or swim in the now dominated Superhero blockbuster market? We are a decade out from this films release and looking to see how it holds up and whether it deserves all of its critical acclaim and audience apathy. Join us for a revisit of Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 “Pacific Rim”

Episode 168 -Atlantic Rim (2013)

We are sadly now living in Asylum Film’s world where they can release their film first before the movie they’re mockbusting, and so before our meat we have to devour some nasty veggies. This week join us as we are forced to watch once more the film “Atlantic Rim”

Episode 167 – Jellyfish Eyes (2013)

We take a look at an auteur visual artists take on a kids monster movie, both of the Kaiju size as well as ones that can fit into your pocket. Will this hidden gem from Japan’s Takashi Murakami delight the child inside us or does this adjacent film not measure up to the stiff Gamera like competition. Find out with us as we explore 2013’s “Jellyfish Eyes”

Episode 166 -Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo (2012)

We return to the Evangelion Universe for the first very different, time-jumping, alternative take on the giant mecha series in film form. Does this movie deserves the derision that it draws from fans or is this the sleep hit of a dark middle chapter? Find out with us this week as we take on “Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo”

Episode 165 -Wrath of the Titans (2012)

We are back to take a look as the CGI over the top action of ancient greek Gods and Monsters this week. Will a second voyage in the Aegean Sea be more fruitful than the first for Kaiju cinema history or is this a Titan’s world and we’re just men living in it? Find out along with us as we look at 2012’s “Wrath of the Titans”

Episode 164 -Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus (2010)

We rewind back a year to look at the first sequel to the Mega Shark series from the Asylum Films. Can Jaleel White make this film succeed where the first failed? Find out as we look at the 2010 movie “Episode 164 -Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus”
