Lee, Heather and Chris return to another Shim Hyung-rae joint - a piece of Z-grade action slop that leaves them mostly speechless, talking about Disney Channel Original Movies in this week's discussion of 2007's baffling fantasy "epic,"  Dragon Wars,  also known as  D-War! Send us Fan Mail

In an impromptu news episode, Lee and Heather take the reigns while Chris recovers to discuss the trailer for Godzilla: Minus Zero, as well as Toho's New Monster General Election Back to your regularly scheduled programming next week!  Send us Fan Mail

It's time for The Host! Featuring The Host! (of It Came from a Monster Movie: Rebirth) Lee, Heather, and Chris bring over the host of sister podcast,  It Came from a Monster Movie: Rebirth , to discuss a Korean monster movie far superior to Yongary. Lots of talk of yonic imagery and a woman named Steve Buscemi in this week's extremely in-depth discussion of Bong Joon Ho's 2006 class...

Yongary returns for a much more unfortunate outing, with some truly horrid digital effects covering up what could have been some fun suitmation. Friend of the show Naomi joins Lee and Chris, while Heather takes an unexpected sidequest in this week's discussion of 1999's Yongary remake,  Reptilian ! Send us Fan Mail

Lee takes everyone down an unwilling Puppet Master  and Full Moon Entertainment rabbit hole before delving into the genuine insanity that is 1996's  Zarkorr! The Invader! Send us Fan Mail

IT'S FINALLY TIME! Lee, Heather and Chris discuss a film with an infamous history! This film's backstory has everything from international kidnapping schemes to state-sponsored film school gulags! It's finally time to discuss North Korea's most famous (and only notable) kaiju in 1986's  Pulgasari! Send us Fan Mail

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH KING KONG It's a return to Big Monkey with one of the worst films of all time! Lee, Heather, and Chris are truly at a loss this time around, struggling to comprehend one of the worst films of all time,  the simian nightmare that is A*P*E*! Send us Fan Mail

The gang gets furious! It's a return to the racism and misogyny of old in this truly bizarre ripoff of Gorgo, this time with TWO parents. Lee, Heather, and Chris lose their minds in a bewildered rage trying to figure out the logic of 1967's  Gappa ! Send us Fan Mail

A welcome return to goofy space adventures! The gang finds spirited debate in the quality of Shochiku's first kaiju foray; one that provides pancake UFOs, inspiration for Ridley Scott, and a brand new verbal-stim for all of our hosts to enjoy: praise be to Guilala! This is 1967's  The X from Outer Space ! Send us Fan Mail

Lee, Chris, and Heather tackle their first South Korean monster movie! Will it break them? Will the mascot for Korean dino chicken nuggets be a breakout star? Or will they face another madness-inducing ripoff of Showa Era Gamera? Find out in this week's discussion of 1967's  Yongary, Monster from the Deep ! Send us Fan Mail

Much to the horror of our hosts, the children have returned. But does that automatically make this movie Showa Era Gamera-level slop? Perhaps not! Lee, Heather and Chris have a variety of opinions here, with a film that's, at the very least, different from its predecessors, this is 1966's  Wrath of Daimajin ! Send us Fan Mail

The gang loses their mind talking about a film that's functionally the same as the first, but with enough differences to make you feel like you're going insane! The bullying of US politicians continues alongside the discussion of more warlords, hot priestesses, and vengeful golems with 1966's Return of Daimajin ! Send us Fan Mail

In a shocking twist of fate, Daiei delivered a Showa Era film that all of our hosts loved! It's the first true period piece of the podcast, in a simple but shockingly engrossing tale of warring feudal clans and a vengeful mountain god, this is 1966's  Daimajin ! Send us Fan Mail

BIG SNAKES! DENMARK! MULTIPLE POLITICAL GUEST APPEARANCES! Lee, Heather, and Chris tackle Denmark's only kaiju in a film that's part tourism brochure! The gang descends into politically charged lunacy with a notoriously awful film with a hilarious musical number that has our hosts losing what remains of their sanity, this is 1962's  Reptilicus! Send us Fan Mail

From the UK back to Japan! From killer plants to killer fungus! The gang returns to talk about an old familiar friend in Ishiro Honda, in a film that falls outside his usual kaiju-fare. Lee, Heather and Chris are talking killer mushrooms and themes of Western materialism with a few unexpected political guests, this is 1963's  Matango ! Send us Fan Mail

In a change of pace for this podcast, the gang talks about a movie that doesn't feature any giant monsters, but still features abnormally large plants and lots of Brits, in the second film to be featured in the introductory song for  The Rocky Horror Picture Show,   this is 1963's  Day of the Triffids ! Send us Fan Mail

In what is perhaps the most politically charged episode to-date, Lee, Heather and Chris discuss the politics of the UK, the history of Ireland, and go positively off the rails in this week's discussion of Europe's most iconic giant monster pair in 1961's  Gorgo! Send us Fan Mail

Given that this week's film is barely a monster movie, Lee, Heather and Chris spend a lot of time dissecting the  Godzilla Minus Zero trailer, and go down several other tangents in their efforts to avoid talking about the film that's more TVLand than kaiju flick, 1959's  The Giant Gila Monster! Send us Fan Mail

Another Eugene Lourie effort, which means Lee, Heather, and Chris are doing  The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms again, but this time British and with a longer neck. Apologies to any listeners from the UK, both for the jokes about the British, and for having to have  The Giant Behemoth  as one of your only bits of monster representation. Send us Fan Mail

Space Jelly! Rebellious youth! Teenagers that look 40 years old! This week our team tackles the forbidden jelly from space, and the first monster to have a theme song since Gamera! Lee, Chris and Heather get particularly unhinged while talking about an American monster classic in 1958's  The Blob ! Send us Fan Mail

Misogyny! Divorce scams! Macrophilia! This episode has it all, but does the movie? That's the question Lee, Heather, and Chris are going to find out in this week's discussion of 1958's B-movie classic,  Attack of the 50 Foot Woman! Send us Fan Mail

This week, the gang tackles a mythically infamous B-Movie of battleship-sized proportions! That's right, we're talking about the Giant Condor's inbred puppet-cousin, in an episode dedicated mostly to Heather's vendetta against Mitch, the film's misogynist lead.   This episode also features the debut of a special guest appearance on the show, offering advice on how to deal...

It's the final installment of the Big Bug Trilogy, and this is perhaps the most unhinged discussion yet. Do you agree with Chris? Is this an allegory for Communism? Or are you on the side of Lee, believing it to just be about a Big Bug?  Either way, join in for this week's particularly ludicrous discussion of 1957's  The Deadly Mantis! Send us Fan Mail

The Bug-a-Thon continues! The gang tackles another spectacle of Willis O'Brien stop-motion, this time featuring enormous scorpions that emerge from deep within the earth to feast on mankind! Join Lee, Heather and Chris as they discuss 1957's surprisingly entertaining The Black Scorpion! Send us Fan Mail
