Explode When Defeated

Mothra fights dinosaur. This week, we're right back to two of our favorite monsters in Mothra vs Godzilla! We talk about the history of the film as well as its status as both a sequel to the original Mothra and the next step in Godzilla's history. Also Nicky makes a reference to Gears of War somehow. Tune in next time for GHIDORAH THE THREE HEADED MONSTER! Check us out on Patreon for early episode...

On this week's Discuss All Monsters we have another brief episode with our discussion on 1963's Atragon, a sort of turning point in the creative powers behind Toho's monster movies thus far. We talk about the movie's stance on nationalism and the way out-of-touch leaders try to halt progress as well as some of its shortcomings on that same issue. We also talk specifically about Eiji Tsuburaya and...

On Discuss All Monsters this week, we're talking about the bleak cult-classic "Matango" from 1963: a film that honestly speaks for itself more than anyone reasonably could. It's a fairly straightforward tale so the episode this week reflects that with a shorter runtime. We talk about some of the history behind the film including Honda's personal interpretation, and then we roughly walk through the...

On this week's Discuss All Monsters, our hosts tackle the behemoth monster party that is King Kong vs Godzilla. They play with the format a little bit as the result of a certain host ignoring their duty, but Nicky and Wyatt still find time to talk about all of the movie's special effect highlights, its regional differences, and the horrible, horrible racism. Seriously this movie's pretty damn raci...

On this month's episode of DISCUSS ALL MONSTERS!!, Wyatt and Nicky discuss the literal clash of planets that is Toho's 1962 science-fiction/suspense film GORATH. In Gorath, our hosts find a bit of a hidden gem in Toho's catalog, even if it's light on the whole monster thing. So our friends find other stuff in the film to discuss! Also, because of how this show is recorded months in advance, listen...

On this month's Discuss All Monsters, Wyatt and Nicky talk about the world-famous wild empress herself, Mothra! The film is a stark contrast to the dull (to say the least) Varan the Unbelievable, because this movie is in fact incredibly entertaining, with quite possibly the best cast of any of the movies they've discussed thus far. This one's a lot of fun, so get ready to hang out and talk some mo...

In which Nicky and Wyatt talk about the greatest thing that ever happened. (accompanied by Nicky's overactive pets) You can find Nicky at @Anti_Laser on twitter , and at their YouTube channel. You can find Wyatt at @WazpRanger on twitter , and at his YouTube channel. 

This month in Discuss All Monsters, Wyatt and Nicky try to come up with SOMETHING. ANYTHING. to say about Varan the Unbelievable. This movie's not very good, and on top of that it's not very interesting either! So please take a listen, marvel at two podcasting hopefuls trying their absolute damnedest to make this episode interesting and fun despite that fact! They succeed a little bit, kinda. You...

In this fifth episode of Discuss All Monsters, we REALLY stretch the definition of "monster movie" and talk about a movie that barely even features a monster! We're talking about The Mysterians this time, and to do that we start the episode off a little differently before going whole hog into our usual antics. This time, with extra talk about the political leanings of these movies! Next time... Va...

Episode 4! A New Hop-- I mean Ahhh! A flying monster! We're talking about everyone's favorite death chicken/hawk/pterosaur and their first adventure terrorizing the people of Japan! We talk about this movie's interesting structure, some of its funniest moments, and its similarities to some of Tsuburaya's later work. You can find Nicky at @Anti_Laser on twitter , and at their YouTube channel. You c...

On this third episode of Discuss All Monsters, we delve just a tiny bit further into the Toho catalog by talking about Godzilla Raids Again, the hastily-put-together sequel to the classic original, featuring a debut performance by everyone's favorite spiky fella Anguirus! Here, Wyatt and Nicky talk about some of the production history behind this film as well as their opinions on this often overlo...

Part two of the debut episode! In Discuss All Monsters, we will be talking about all manner of kaiju film, particularly the productions headed up by Toho. The first part of the discussion of this movie was about the history behind the film's creation, which was IMMENSE. This time around, we actually discuss the content of the film and talk about its themes, characters, and brilliant special effect...

The debut episode! In Discuss All Monsters, we will be talking about all manner of kaiju film, particularly the productions headed up by Toho. In this inaugural episode, we will be discussing the monster that started it all, Godzilla in his debut film, "Gojira". (It's interchangeable at this point, please don't get angry.) This film is SO enormous in its weight and significance, however, that we'r...
