In the pilot episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast, Steven and Ross discuss the first episode of the 1978 Toei tokusatsu series, "Supaidaman" (Japanese Spider-man).

Supaidaman Pilot

The Kaijusaurus Podcast begins proper with Steven and Ross embarking on their kaiju-sized quest to watch and review every film in the thirty-strong Godzilla canon, and they begin in the only way they can: 1954′s Godzilla.

Godzilla '54 Discussion

Steven and Ross resume their joint foray into the Godzilla canon, returning with thoughts and opinions on 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla - still the highest-grossing film in Toho's canon - including some of the film's unfortunate and insensitive dated material, and the lackluster nature of Kong himself.

King Kong vs. Godzilla Discussion

Steven and Ross make their way through the fan-favourite fourth entry, Mothra vs. Godzilla, discussing everything from college students playing giant caterpillars to suit actors catching fire, and pitching alternate endings.

Mothra vs. Godzilla Discussion

Assassins! A monster summit! Political espionage! Tiny twin fairies! A three-headed space demon! Shooting stars! A four-way giant monster rumble! Ruffs! It can only be 1964's fan-favourite Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, which Steven and Ross sink their teeth into in the latest episode of the Kaijusaurus Podcast.

Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster Discussion

In defence of the Earth, we’re gonna fight to the last man, baby! Or maybe we’ll just discuss the film that contains that immortal line. Steven and Ross discuss 1965′s Invasion of Astro-Monster, aka Monster Zero - Steven’s personal favourite Godzilla film. But does newbie Ross agree?

Invasion of Astro-Monster Discussion

In the first episode of 2016, Steven and Ross find themselves shipwrecked on a remote tropical island, protected by a giant crustacean, populated by oversized condors, and under siege by a cut-throat terrorist organisation. Can Godzilla save the day? Find out in the latest Kaijusaurus Podcast!

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep Discussion

Laura returns to the podcast as she and Steven discuss and review Tsuburaya Productions’ recently-concluded Ultraman X, the latest instalment of the Ultraman franchise. Our hosts discuss favourite episodes, characters, monsters, and moments, as well as what didn't work for them about the series, and what they’d like to see in the upcoming film continuation.

Ultraman X: The Series in Review

Ross is back on the podcast as he and Steven navigate their way to Solgell Island, following the signal of a mysterious brainwave. What awaits them? Extreme weather, giant invertebrates, and the heir to the King of the Monsters - it can only be Son of Godzilla on the Kaijusaurus Podcast.

Show Notes

- Thanks to @nuclear-warrior​, @bretlowski​, @mekagojira3k​, and @bluskreem​ for submitting their thoughts and opinions on the film.
- …and apologies to @blackeye15​, whose comments I forgot to read pout on the episode. Their submission follows:  Son of Godzilla is on the lower end of Godzilla movies for me. Like Ebirah I appreciate a few things it does better as an adult but I think it’s still a weaker film. I have never been a big fan of Minya, I think we should keep him out, I do love Godzilla Jr. to be clear. I will admit I love the fire-breathing lesson scene and the final shot of Godzilla holding Minya. Other than that can’t really stand the little creature. I always figured Godzilla was adopting the little radioactive toad so I wondered why everyone was arguing about it over the internet when I was a kid. Apparently Nakajima considers Godzilla female which I’m totally okay with to be honest A creature named Godzilla is most certainly one of the few beefs I have with 1998’s Godzilla. Here’s the bits I’ve always loved as a kid: Kamacuras. It was super fun giving Godzilla a bunch of mook monsters he can easily tear apart rather than one equally strong monster. I keep hoping some day Toho has Godzilla fighting a swarm of them. I now appreciate the complicated marionette systems used for Kamacuras and Kumonga. None the less I think the end fight just drags on far too long at a poor pace. Kumonga shoots web! Godzilla shoots fire! Not very effective. Now Kumonga is on Godzilla! Now…nothing is happening until Minya shows up, though combo-attack was cool. It’s not really a bad Godzilla movie, it really isn’t ,it’s just kind of middle of the road and I’m very Minya biased. My favorite shot is when the Kamacuras are marching past the tower and two people are hiding, fantastic shot! I think Ebirah was more my ideal Godzilla on a jungle island adventure.
- Due to the increasing length of the episodes, we will be curbing the length of listener submissions from here on out. More information on this will follow soon.

Son of Godzilla Discussion

The battle-cry that could save the world arrives on the Kaijusaurus Podcast! Steven and Ross navigate their way to Monsterland and discuss the utterly bombastic would-be finale that is 1968′s Destroy All Monsters!

Destroy All Monsters Discussion

Perfect peace is finally achieved on the Kaijusaurus Podcast as Steven and Ross talk space cockroaches, children’s theme parks, and monsters of homework and too-strict mothers: it can only be 1972′s Godzilla vs. Gigan.

SHOW NOTES

- Apologies to all who submitted thoughts and opinions on Godzilla vs. Gigan and didn’t have them read out. We deliberately left out all listener submissions this episode as we’re currently working on more engaging ways to utilise listener submissions. We’ll have more on this soon.

- Particular apologies to spacehunter-m on Tumblr, who’s blog I had many, many opportunities to mention this episode, but didn’t. Sorry!

- More information on Akira Takarada’s announced run for office in Japan, can be found here: http://www.sankei.com/politics/news/160610/plt1606100037-n1.html (link in Japanese). He’s running with a newly-formed party, “Voice of Public Anger”, which specifically aims to challenge and repel Prime Minister Abe’s militarisation of the JSDF.

Godzilla vs. Gigan Discussion

The prophecy of the Azumi Royal Family is fulfilled as Steven and Ross take on 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla - the first film for Godzilla's mechanical doppleganger, and the final film for director Jun Fukuda. This episode also includes a brief discussion of Toho’s superhero show Zone Fighter!

Show Notes

- Special thanks to Tim over at kaijufiction.tumblr.com​ for his excellent submission. Do also check out his equally excellent blog!
- The Zone Fighter monster Ross said looked like it had a “giant sponge” on - its back was Spyler, who appeared in the show’s fourth episode.
- Godzilla ultimately appeared in five episodes of Zone Fighter: 4, 11, 15, 21 and 25. He faced and fought Gigan for the third and final time.
- Jun Fukuda’s co-writer on the film was Hiroyasu Yamamura

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah Discussion

Steven, Ross, and Laura take to Facebook to broadcast a LIVE discussion of the most controversial film in the entire Godzilla series - Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin's 1998 Hollywood feature.

Listen now to find out!

Godzilla: Final Wars Discussion

It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for.

Kaijusaurus Podcast Finale: Shin Godzilla Discussion + Final Goodbyes

In a time of unprecedented global anxiety, the world needs a hero. Or two.

The Kaijusaurus Podcast boys - Steven Sloss and Ross Menzies - return to provide some much-needed distraction, and catch up with the world of Godzilla and kaiju, chat about their new projects, and look back on the year they've had since their last episode.
