Episode 90: Wrath of Daimajin (1966)
Much to the horror of our hosts, the children have returned. But does that automatically make this movie Showa Era Gamera-level slop? Perhaps not! Lee, Heather and Chris have a variety of opinions here, with a film that's, at the very least, different from its predecessors, this is 1966's Wrath of Daimajin! Send us Fan Mail

Episode 89: Return of Daimajin (1966)
The gang loses their mind talking about a film that's functionally the same as the first, but with enough differences to make you feel like you're going insane! The bullying of US politicians continues alongside the discussion of more warlords, hot priestesses, and vengeful golems with 1966's Return of Daimajin! Send us Fan Mail

Episode 88: Daimajin (1966)
In a shocking twist of fate, Daiei delivered a Showa Era film that all of our hosts loved! It's the first true period piece of the podcast, in a simple but shockingly engrossing tale of warring feudal clans and a vengeful mountain god, this is 1966's Daimajin! Send us Fan Mail

Episode 87: Reptilicus (1962)
BIG SNAKES! DENMARK! MULTIPLE POLITICAL GUEST APPEARANCES! Lee, Heather, and Chris tackle Denmark's only kaiju in a film that's part tourism brochure! The gang descends into politically charged lunacy with a notoriously awful film with a hilarious musical number that has our hosts losing what remains of their sanity, this is 1962's Reptilicus!

Episode 86: Matango (1963)
From the UK back to Japan! From killer plants to killer fungus! The gang returns to talk about an old familiar friend in Ishiro Honda, in a film that falls outside his usual kaiju-fare.

Episode 85: Day of the Triffids (1963)
In a change of pace for this podcast, the gang talks about a movie that doesn't feature any giant monsters, but still features abnormally large plants and lots of Brits, in the second film to be featured in the introductory song for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this is 1963's Day of the Triffids!

Episode 84: Gorgo (1961)
In what is perhaps the most politically charged episode to-date, Lee, Heather and Chris discuss the politics of the UK, the history of Ireland, and go positively off the rails in this week's discussion of Europe's most iconic giant monster pair in 1961's Gorgo! Send us Fan Mail

1 hr 11 min
Episode 83: The Giant Gila Monster (1959)
Given that this week's film is barely a monster movie, Lee, Heather and Chris spend a lot of time dissecting the Godzilla Minus Zero trailer, and go down several other tangents in their efforts to avoid talking about the film that's more TVLand than kaiju flick, 1959's The Giant Gila Monster!

Episode 82: The Giant Behemoth (1959)
Another Eugene Lourie effort, which means Lee, Heather, and Chris are doing The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms again, but this time British and with a longer neck. Apologies to any listeners from the UK, both for the jokes about the British, and for having to have The Giant Behemoth as one of your only bits of monster representation. Send us Fan Mail
