On Monster Island - a Godzilla and Kaiju Podcast

Tv EN ↓ 136 episodes

In a world as vast as the kaiju genre, there needs to be a podcast that can tackle all things giant monster - from film to fandom, television to toys, Godzilla to Gamera. That podcast is YHS on Monster Island! From the world of Yes Have Some comes a new show dedicated to the spectacle and madness of the kaiju genre; one as fun as a trip to World Children's Land and as informative as a Dr. Yamane lecture. Piloting this ship will be "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" and YHS co-founder, Jacob Walsh, and the "Mayor of Toku Toy Town" and acclaimed sci-fi author, Jay Key.

YHS on Monster Island XTRA: Does Valley of Gwangi "Dig Deeper"? 29.07.2021 22:23

"The Mayor of Toku Toy Town" Jay Key goes solo to tackle the 1969 Ray Harryhausen classic, The Valley of Gwangi, and attempt to overcome his decades long indecision about the merits of this plucky little film.

When "Bad" Kaiju Films are Good...and When They're Bad (Death Kappa vs. Reigo/Raiga Trilogy) 23.06.2021 30:19

YHS on Monster Island's Jay Key takes a look at two instances where a low budget indie kaiju film tries to be a successful parody of the genre - one nails it, one is almost unwatchable. It's 2010's Death Kappa from the mind of Ultraman veteran,...

YHS on Monster Island: Godzilla Goes Art House (A Review of Godzilla vs. Hedorah) 13.06.2021 1:15:25

It’s the dawn of the disco era and the Godzilla franchise decides to change direction and leave behind the golden era of Toho with a psychedelic avant-garde film that’s equal parts environmentally-charged horror flick and Saturday morning superhero kids show. It’s a story of unproduced sequels, appendectomies, and a brash director that dared to make Godzilla fly. It’s 1971’s Godzilla vs. Hedorah!...
