On THIS week's Discuss All Monsters, we're talking all about the sequel or not sequel, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla.... 2!! It's uh, weirdly more complicated than how it sounds. We get into the strange history of this potentially final film in the Heisei series and well.. you'll see. Contains maybe the hardest we've ever laughed on a podcast to date.
We'll see you next time... for some holiday cheer...

Time travel, World War II, The Distant Future, Spielberg, Flop Novels and more in THIS episode of SHIN Discuss All Monsters! Nicky and Wyatt sit down to talk all about one of the most insane, surprising movies of the Godzilla franchise, let alone the heisei era. We dig right into the film's cynical history, give long-winded personal anecdotes and of course lovingly swish around the film's story and thematic content like wine sommeliers. Also we talk about how the monsters kick ass. Fifty episodes, baby! What a movie to land on with this milestone. Here's to many more.
and of course, join us next time...for Godzilla vs Mothra!

Okay so we ran into some logistical difficulties trying to make an episode on the Daicon Orochi movie so we pivoted into talking about GUNHED, maybe the most incredible tokusatsu film you've never heard of... that isn't a showa movie I guess. We had an awesome time recording this episode and trying to piece together the bizarre thing we just watched. Let us help you discover a new cult favorite on this week's Discuss All Monsters!
and join us next time for our annual spooky detour for Halloween! We'll be watching Noroi: The Curse

Our pal Johnny joins us to talk about the cult-classic combination mad scientist movie and espionage thriller Godzilla vs Biollante on this week's SHIN Discuss All Monsters. We have a great conversation digging into the movie's story as well as its lavish, innovative, economic bubble-era special effects. Also the horrible mummy that composed music for all the Dragon Quest games composed for this movie. It sounds fucking nuts!
Enjoy the episode and join us next time as we dig into Daicon's Yamato no Orochi no Gyakushu!

THE FINAL SEASON BEGINS HERE.
We're back and roaring out the gates with our first episode of SHIN Discuss All Monsters, our show on every OTHER Toho-associated kaiju film we can think of. First, we're diving into the Heisei era and there's no better way to begin than with the first Heisei Godzilla film. Does this new take on our favorite lizard live up to the original from 1954? Does it give us a radical new take? Or does it have a weird amount of worship for Prime Ministers and a weird over-extended production? Find out today in the first new episode of Discuss All Monsters!

Here we are, at the end of our short, sweet second season of DISCUSS ALL MONSTERS. We've explored Daiei's kaiju output, and that all comes to a beautiful, crystallized conclusion here in Ryuta Tasaki's Gamera The Brave. We dig into the specific mood and humor of this film and how it wraps the series up at the end of its life. We also discuss some of our thoughts overall on this season and some of our favorite things we've covered this year.
We're going to take a short break to prepare for our next season, so tune in next month as we begin to unleash our thoughts on the rest of Toho's kaiju films, as well as some odds and ends that YOU paid for as patrons! Thanks for that!
Next time... the debut of our third, final season: SHIN DISCUSS ALL MONSTERS. We return with Godzilla (1984), see you there!

Monster-Discussing Veteran Toby Jones makes another appearance on our show to talk about the third and most offbeat of the heisei-era Gamera films, 1999's Revenge of Iris. We get into its fascinating take on things as a follow-up to Gamera 2, as well as a general discussion of what made this trilogy so damn good and why it'll stand the test of time. This episode is PACKED with the good stuff, as well as some Dreamcast references, so we hope you're excited to jump in with us!

Nicky and Wyatt take some time to discuss the hugely impressive and awe-inspiring sequel to the first heisei Gamera, Gamera 2: Attack of Legion. The same crew that brought us the first movie return to do things bigger and badder and we examine how it achieves that status, because let there be no doubt. They totally fucking bring it.

Minovsky returns to the show to join us in a joyous discussion of one of the most perfect movies to grace our podcast in some time. We're talking of course about Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, the first in the Heisei Gamera Trilogy (which might be the most celebrated string of films in the entire genre!) This movie is an absolute thrill ride, and I think you can probably feel our enthusiasm for it beaming off of our voices on this episode. If you haven't seen it, see it! If you have or you're curious about it, take a listen! We had a great discussion.

On THIS episode of Demolition Daiei, we put some emphasis on the "snow" part with Daimajin Strikes Again, the third in a 1966 trilogy of period piece kaiju films. We've got pits of sulfuric acid, we've got an kids on a frontier adventure, and we've got a giant pissed off statue down to lay waste to the whole situation. We're here to discuss the ins and outs of this story and just how successful it was at mixing two genres important to Japanese cinema.
Join us next time for GAMERA: GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE. Finally!

Friend of the show, graphic novelist and occasional podcast host Joey Weiser joins us once again to discuss one of the weirdest movies in Gamera's catalogue. In this episode we talk about clip shows, superhero space women, and Nicky uses their huge, horrific manga brain to identify an issue from Shonen Jump from 42 years ago.

Hazel from Youtube Videos joins us for yet another instance of Gamera-themed monster discussion. We have tons of... fun. discussing this week's pick, Gamera vs Zigra from 1971. We talk about how it has scenes, and special effects of some kind. As well as actors who showed up and hopefully were paid money. We also talk about how the film has attributes and characteristics such as Running Time and Format.

I can't believe I have to say this, but uh. I'm gonna have to issue a content warning here for Elephant Dissections.
That's right, we're talking about Daiei's twisted attempt at celebrating the Expo '70 held in Osaka. It's Gamera vs Jiger! We talk about weird pig dogs, insane kid movie violence and a looming warning from a close friend in this week's Discuss All Monsters. This thing is pretty weird, but does that weirdness take it above the threshold in our weird and winding journey with the friend to all children?
Find out in this episode! And join us in a couple more weeks for GAMERA VS ZIGRA.

Alex Horab joins us once again for perhaps the most infamous movie in the Gamera series to all those well-versed in schlock, and the ensuing conversation is one filled with a lot of enthusiasm for the deeply goofy movie Daiei made here. While it may retread a lot of ground, we dig into the things that make it stand out while making some really dumb jokes of our own. This is also the movie where that one gif is from. Y'know, with the pterodactyl guy accidentally cutting his leg off.

This week on Demolition Daiei, we're going to the beach, hijacking a submarine, using our lassos and getting abducted by aliens! Gamera vs Viras is a weird, wild, and uh... lengthy endeavor and we're here to discuss our findings. As we wade deeper into the ocean that is our turtley friends' adventures, are we still going to wear our good time hats, or are they gonna be lost to the tide? Join us and find out!

Our pal Buster nobly joins us on short notice to talk about the third and most batty of Gamera installments, Gamera vs Gyaos! We talk with Buster about their relationship with tokusatsu as a whole, and then dive into a brief, fun discussion of this moment of coalescence for our fire-breathing turtle. We talk about the weird vampire bat guy he throws a rock at too. Don't think for a second we forgot about that.
Enjoy the episode and stay tuned next time for... GAMERA VS VIRAS!

Wyatt and Nicky dive into the deadly jungle that is talking about Gamera's first sequel: 1966's GAMERA VS BARUGON. With a different director in tow, Daiei decided to change up the vibe and lean closer to their contemporaries. Listen and find out how we felt about that and more in this episode of DEMOLITION DAIEI. Maybe the production wasn't nearly as hellish! Who knows!
