Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters

In which our Maestro of Musical Mayhem X7 listens to (what else) seven songs and gives out information about them and other random knowledge everyone will enjoy! There is a song about a monster, one that is not a rebel song, and five more great songs! Let's get ready to rock and roll!

In which X7 reviews two more episodes of the wonderful Ultraman (1966) series! We see a plethora of monsters in the first episode, and then only one in the second. Guess which one X7 likes more? No big surprise there!

In which X7 does indeed welcome us all back to the wonderful movie Jurassic Park (1993)! We do find it hard to believe the movie itself is 31 years old, but we are also happy to say it really holds up as a fine movie. This isn't much of a review, just a fun recollection of the movie itself, and a few of the great shots from it! If there is enough of a demand, we may review the entire series!

In which X7 celebrates the impact of Godzilla Day (11-03-54) on him, mostly. Go figure. He talks about the first Godzilla movies he saw, and how much they still mean to him. Everyone knows about Godzilla, there isn't much more to talk about the character, is there? The trick will be figuring out which picture to use as the thumbnail! History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of...

In which the Young Space Sentinels meet a mysterious being from another dimension who calls himself Loki. He isn't very mischievous, but he sure wants to return to his own dimension and take over. X7 talks about the deity Loki and his much needed makeover in recent years (yes, thanks Marvel). Another good episode from the show!

In which X7 completely forgot about Godzilla Day and reviews Scooby-Doo and Batman The Brave and The Bold movie from 2018. Don't worry, we will talk about Godzilla in about two days. We hope everyone can wait that long! This is another redo, with more pictures and sounds. It is a very fun movie, and has a lot of in-jokes. Too bad Josie and her gang didn't show up!

In which X7 talks about two more episodes of the best Ultraman series ever, the original! One has a chocolate loving monster and diamond smugglers, the other has a giant ant lion menacing a strange desert town! Guess which one X7 likes the best?

Awoo! In which X7 introduces listeners to the awesome sound of Shewolf Dana Kain and the Mighty Incisors , as well as six other great songs! If you click the link, you can enjoy and purchase songs from Dana. We highly recommend their music. Let's get ready to rock and roll!

In which X7 updates and improves on the original episode, from exactly one year ago, the fun pulp adventure movie At the Earth's Core ! Lots more pictures of the heroes and monsters, plus the trailer! We do know it is Thursday, and Ultraman will return on Saturday. Get on the Iron Mole and head to the Earth's core again!

In which X7 re-reviews a movie he talked about way back in episode 13, this time with pictures and sound! The Kid With the Golden Arm is a great movie, with blood and guts, heroes and villains and a few surprises as well. It was almost the first Shaw Brothers movie X7 ever saw. Get yourself a catty of wine and enjoy!

In which X7 talks about one of the most original superheroes, the gleaming Golden Bat (Ogon Bat)! This is also one of the earliest heroes as well. We do use the first episode of the cartoon series from 1967 as a basis to talk about it. We also wish the series had been brought over and dubbed by the late great Peter Fernandez as well, though the hero is rather macabre. That makes him even cooler!

In which X7 sees the young Space Sentinels take a journey to the center of the Earth's core (not really, but they do go underground) in the ninth episode. It is a good, if slightly predictable episode of the series. It does feature a Thagomizer , which is cool. Too bad it was the late 70s and we don't get to see it in use. It is a good episode though, and keeps things interesting until the end. Si...

In which X7 tries again to defeat Shocker, only in a different version! Perhaps we used far too much actual footage last time. This time no moving footage was used at all, and it is possibly the shortest episode we have done in almost a year. Rider Kick! Check out this podcast!

In which X7 talks about the most fascinating Invaders from Mar s (1953). It is probably one of the most influential and wild sci-fi movies of the 50s. Svengoolie aired it last night, and it is well worth the viewing, though it makes so much more sense in retrospect, i.e. after one has watched the movie. Keep watching the skies! PS- there will be another version of episode 307 arriving soon- Shocke...

In which X7 talks about seven songs that can be heard (or should be heard) around this Halloween Season! There are a couple surprises here and of course a few songs we all expect. We will be doing more of these holiday specific songs at appropriate times. In fact, we will be putting that up for a vote! Let's get ready to rock and roll and be scared! Learn about Zombina and The Skeletones here!

In which X7 reviews the fourth and fifth episodes of the classic 60s series Ultraman! These episodes feature the monsters Ragon and Miraganda, two very cool monsters. One of these happens to be an episode that a young X7 viewed on television way back when! Get your Beta Capsule ready for Ultra-Action!

In which X7 reviews the AIP-TV compilation movie Voyage into Space ! This combined five episodes of Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot , AKA Giant Robo . It is a slam-bang movie that packs a bunch of monsters, gunfights and sci-fi action into about 100 minutes. It was aired a lot of CometTV about five years ago (as of this recording) and you can get a fine Blu-Ray of it now. Robot, Mega-Punch now!

In which X7 reviews the second direct to video ⁠Scooby-Doo⁠ movie, ⁠ Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost ⁠ . Who is he kidding, he mainly watched if for ⁠the Hex Girls⁠ ! It turns out this is a fun movie and features real ghosts and magic! How about that? The gang is slightly older than the original series, and there are no sidekicks or tag-alongs present. Thank the gods for that! We are also sure we...

In which X7 reviews the eighth episode of the young Space Sentinels. This time they have to stop a certain Commander Nemo from destroying polluting oil refineries in the ocean. This Nemo was an ecologist who went rogue, along with his Neptune Society. He eventually causes a disaster with factors into the Sentinels showing up. He also has Domino to help him! Swim, Sentinels, swim!

In which X7 celebrates the first year anniversary of this here little country podcast about heroes and monsters! Rodan is one of his favorite monster movies, and well worth the accord it has been given. There is a little bonus at the end of the episode, so stay tuned! Thank to everyone who has watched or listened for this last year, we really do appreciate it! Stay tuned for more heroes and monste...

In which X7 visits the Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland Park, CO. It is about 30 minutes west of Colorado Springs, and is a fun place to visit. It has lots of great casts of fossils- all for sale- and a wonderful gift center. This is our 300th episode, and today also marks a year that we have been doing the podcast. Slainte!

In which X7 listens to and then talks about seven FAB songs! There is a wide variety of genres presented here, so listen for some surprises. We are sorry about the technological issues that being in the Springs of Colorado presented, but X7 did have a grand time!

In which X7 experiences technical difficulties whilst on assignment in the Springs of Colorado, which has delayed this episode by over 12 hours. However, we meet the Baltan aliens for the first time, and then the electricity eating monster Neronga! Shoowat!

In which X7 gives voice to ponderings about the Caped Crusader series. He thought they would lose him after episode four, but the show did succeed in being entertaining. Kudos! Too bad about the end, though since we all knew the original Red Hood would show up. Hugo Strange would have been far more surprising!

In which X7 reviews the most incredible take on the Frankenstein legend- Toho's 1966 opus, Frankenstein Conquers the World ! This is the review of the American International Pictures version, though we do discuss the alternate ending and some differences in the US and Japanese versions. This is one of the last movies from Toho's Golden Age, and it is one of the best!
