- Even if You Don’t Like Monster Movies, You’ll Love This
Only one episode so far but wow is it a banger. Right up from you get an incredible amount of well-researched history and insight to the making and themes and subtexts of one of the most vital monster movies ever made, and this is just a precursor to an incredibly engaging conversation to come. The two hosts obviously have a great rapport together, balancing each other as one provides details and expertise with the other serving as a fresh pair of eyes with which to judge these beloved films.

United States3 years ago - Crashing its way into the list of best Kaiju podcasts
I'll be honest, my general interest in Kaiju films is less than average, but that only speaks volumes to how nice this podcast is if it managed to get me hooked on it from the very first minutes. Rigorous, yet still highly entertaining this first episode announces a monster series in itself.

United Kingdom3 years ago - Deep Dive Done Right
I don’t listen to that many film podcasts. Let’s just say I’ve been burned before...a lot. This is the first one to get me excited in a *very* long time. And this is from someone who’s not a big kaiju fan! more
Apple Podcasts5DavidC in SFUnited States3 years ago - Great chemistry, insightful discourse, and funny banter
Absolutely love this podcast and the dynamic between Calvin – the kaiju newbie but veteran film critic, and Stephen – the colorful kaiju expert and film enthusiast. It’s informative, funny, and insightful, and such a fun way to absorb the kaiju universe whether you’re new to it or already well-versed. Great energy and I can’t wait for the episodes to come!
