  • A great listen when I can’t watch.

    I mostly watch the show on YouTube but love having iTunes as an option. Recently growing tired of listening to other podcasts, so I’ve restarted Monster Island at episode 1 in audio form.

They’ve helped reawaken and strengthen my interest in Kaiju films and toys.

    Thanks fellas. Keep doing em, I’ll ... more
