This final mission will decide the fate of the human race… this is Operation Final Kaijucast! Welcome to a bittersweet episode release: the final episode of the Kaijucast. For this finale, I wanted as many cohosts as possible to get an one last opportunity to interact and say goodbye (or ja mataa) to our listeners. […]

12.14.2019: Operation Final Kaijucast

The 2019 Kaijucast FanVasion is complete! Clancy and Kyle have returned from their trip to Tokyo (and beyond) with the rest of the “FanVader” team and the two of them sit down to unpack the whole damn thing. There’s a list below of all the places we went on the trip with some helpful links […]

11.30.2019: FanVasion Trip Recap

Wow – Tokyo knows how to throw a Godzilla celebration! Today, I spent the day in Tokyo’s Ginza district at Godzilla Square with my group trip’s kaiju freaks (aka the Kaijucast FanVasion) and we had a great time! The stage shows were fun, the programming was great, the exclusives were super cool – I wish […]

Yokai Spooktacular

Happy Halloween, Kaiju Fiends!!!  Celebrate the spookiest day of our calendar with an all new, super scary episode of the Kaijucast! Dave, Gretchen and Kyle sit down to discuss the cultural phenomenon that has grown to kaiju-sized levels. Thanks to animated shows like Yokai Watch, Rise of the Yokai Clan and so many more, the […]

10.31.2019: Yokai Spooktacular + Yokai Stories’ Zack Davission

Masaaki Tezuka

Since the podcast is ending this year, I figured I should probably dig into the archives and find any unearthed gems. This is one of those gems – and it’s a bit shorter than I would have liked so I guess this is before we really had a lot of kaiju clout! 😛 Waaaaaaay back […]

10.15.2019: Godzilla Millennium Director Masaaki Tezuka

Keith Aiken

In the history of me of saying “this interview has been a long time coming”, this one might take the cake. In the  very first year of the podcast, I spoke with Keith Aiken about coming on the show to talk about some of the knowledge he had… ten years later, the conversation is finally […]

09.29.2019: Keith Aiken Interview

Once again, the Kaijucast stomps through Portland’s own pop culture extravaganza, Rose City Comic Con!  This episode serves up the audio from our presentation at the convention: Release the Kaiju with my co-hosts playing the role of Monarch Outpost researchers and scientists… just a little fun with the subject matter. Obviously none of us work […]

09.19.2019: Monarch Science Declassified Panel from Rose City Comic Con 2019

Over the past 65 years, Godzilla has been played by all sorts of awesome people: Haruo Nakajima, Kenpachiro Satsuma, Tsutomu “Tom” Kitagawa (just to name a few). Not all Godzilla actors hail from the land of the rising sun, however. We are thrilled to share this conversation with a new kind of Godzilla actor. He […]

09.05.2019: TJ Storm, Godzilla Motion Capture Actor

Michael Dougherty

In this episode I sit down to speak with the director of Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019), Michael Dougherty, to discuss his love for the genre, his work on the newest film and even how his world view aligns with some of his characters’ motivations. If you haven’t seen Dougherty’s Godzilla King of the […]

08.26.2019: Godzilla King of the Monsters Director Michael Dougherty

We cannot ignore the importance of this episode’s news – and if you haven’t heard about it, get in here and listen! Just a heads up, this episode is really nothing but news. Gretchen and Kyle chat about the slew of kaiju-related articles and announcements that have broken headlines and brains over the past month […]

08.19.2019: Kaiju-sized News Roundup

A Podcast 100% dedicated to Godzilla and all of his rubber-suited foes.

Kyle and company weren’t the first kaiju podcast, but they’re the longest-running of all of them. Most, if not all, other giant monster podcasts owe something to Kaijucast. While the show is wrapping up by the end of 2019, what’s left it a backlog of episodes that include film discussions, interviews, and fandom talk. Not many podcasts can beat that variety. The rotating roster of guest hosts adds to that variety and provides lots of great flavor with their quirky personalities. 

What more can I say? This is /the/ kaiju podcast.

The premiere kaiju podcast

This is my favorite podcast now! Great job guys!

Podcasts – Kaijucast

Our very last Daikaiju Discussion episode comes in with flying colors – we had thirty listeners send in their homework for this film, and that’s on top of our hour plus chat too! No time to fill this space with extra verbiage; you’ve got a podcast to listen to! MUSIC OF THE TITANS: 1. Godzilla […]

06.30.2019: Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019) Daikaiju Discussion

SPOILER ALERT * SPOILER ALERT * SPOILER ALERT  This episode/our daikaiju discussion is absolutely NOT for anyone who hasn’t seen Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla. We go into a details about the film that will almost definitely spoil parts of the film for you, so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, what are you waiting for??? Go […]

05.23.2014: Godzilla 2014 Daikaiju Discussion (part 1)

On this episode of the Kaijucast (#103), we get caught in between the King of the Monsters and the Queen of Infant Island, with a full house of discussioneers! In addition to regulars Jeff, Martin, Rachel and Bryan, we were also joined by Julian and Adam to dissect this daikaiju delicacy, Mothra vs. Godzilla or […]

02.27.2014: Godzilla vs. The Thing Daikaiju Discussion

This month, we turn our gaze to the future! Or the futurians, to be a bit more precise? The focus of this month’s Daikaiju Discussion is the 1991 special effects extravaganza from Toho Studios, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. It was a full house here in Kaijucast HQ; Kyle was joined by Martin, Jeff, Cindy, Bryan and Rachel. […]

02.28.2015: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) Daikaiju Discussion

Getting really slammed with things to do right after you record is kind of a bummer… But it was also really awesome because we were in Seattle at the “Pacific Northwest’s largest Horror Convention”, Crypticon. And that was pretty much the next day! Anyway, welcome to  episode 83 and the Daikaiju Discussion episode for the […]

05.30.2012: Ghidorah The Three-Headed Monster Daikaiju Discussion

Mechagodzilla Daikaiju

Ugh, I guess I should start out by saying “It’s still September in Hawaii!” …Welcome to another installment of the Kaijucast – episode 93, to be exact and squeaking in just before the world’s calendars flip to October! We are talking about the 1974 Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla this month. This film was one of the […]

09.30.2013: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla Daikaiju Discussion

I am working against a literal countdown clock here since the month is over on the East Coast – actually, it’s already 2015 over there! So all I’m going to say here is that I had an absolute blast talking about Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995). Big thanks to everyone who sent in their […]

12.31.2014: Gamera Guardian of the Universe Daikaiju Discussion

This month, we are tackling my favorite kaiju film and what I consider to be a high point of the entire Godzilla series, Kaiju Daisenso aka Invasion of Astro Monster aka Monster Zero aka Godzilla vs. Monster Zero! And for those of you listeners that love a long episode, this one’s for you. Actually, I’m pretty impressed […]

08.29.2014: Godzilla vs. Monster Zero Daikaiju Discussion

Apologies for the short post, but things are crazy busy here at the Kaijucast HQ – what with the impending premiere of the documentary at G-Fest, and all of the other stuff I have going on. To illustrate this point, we actually recorded this last weekend and I haven’t had a chance to edit the […]

05.31.2015: Godzilla X Mechagodzilla Daikaiju Discussion

Hey, we still have a few minutes or so left in September; I can do this before October hits (…in Hawaii)! This month, we dive into the second movie of Toho’s “Millennium” series, Godzilla X Megaguirus (2000). As I mention in the discussion, this is the directorial debut of Masaaki Tezuka – a director who I think was honing his craft […]

09.30.2014: Godzilla X Megaguirus Discussion

We had a full house in the Kaijucast HQ Tonight! That pretty much means we had more people that I had microphones for this very special Daikaiju Discussion diving into a movie that means a LOT to me, the 1956 Rodan! I was joined by Martin, Jeff, Rachel &amp; Bryan and someone who came out […]

02.22.2012: Rodan Daikaiju Discussion

We’ve returned to our roots with this discussion, which is part of a year-long “rehash” of some of the movies we’ve already discussed on the podcast. Oh man, it feels like AGES since we’ve actually covered a Godzilla film — this is of course not exactly true because we recently watched Shin Godzilla and I’m […]

01.31.2018: Godzilla vs Gigan Daikaiju Re-Discussion

This month’s Daikaiju Discussion is all about a really big ape and the island on which he rules — that’s right, we are talking about Kong: Skull Island (2017) on this episode. It’s always a bit thrilling when we have a brand new movie to talk about, so spoilers ahead, people! MASSIVE MONKEY MUSIC: 1. Opening […]

03.31.2017: Kong Skull Island Daikaiju Discussion

After a month, of being hyper focused on “the most colossal conflict the screen has ever known!”, I am so glad to finally bring you the daikaiju discussion episode of the Kaijucast. Otherwise known as Episode 56, Heather and I are here to spend almost an entire hour  talking about the 1962 classic crossover film, King […]

04.29.2012: King Kong vs. Godzilla Daikaiju Discussion

I never in a million years would have thought we’d spend so long talking about a Godzilla movie that has always seemed so bland. That’s right, this month’s Daikaiju Discussion is for the 1955 Godzilla Raids Again, also known as Gigantis The Fire Monster. Compared to the other films in the franchise, I did a […]

01.31.2013: Banana Oil aka Godzilla Raids Again Daikaiju Discussion

Howdy, listeners and fans of giant monsters! Welcome to episode 85, where we discuss the fan-favorite kaiju classic from 1966, War Of The Gargantuas! It seems a little odd to be recording a discussion for the “Frankenstein Brothers” so soon after we recorded the Kaiju Commentary, but it was actually a lot of fun to […]

06.27.2013: War Of The Gargantuas Daikaiju Discussion

Happy Halloween, everyone! My gift to you is the newest episode – which was recorded with Heather, Jeff and myself the other night in which we watched and then discussed the 1967 Toho classic, Son of Godzilla. This is a fun flick that I think at one point during the episode I ranked at the […]

10.31.2012: Son of Godzilla Daikaiju Discussion

Welcome to episode 70, where we talk about the most recent installment of the friend of all children’s cinematic excursions! Jeez, did that even make sense? Let’s try that again: Martin and Jeff join me to talk about the 2006 film, Gamera The Brave! Whaddayaknow – that was much less cryptic. Yes, it’s time to […]

11.29.2012: Gamera The Brave Daikaiju Discussion

Shinji Higuchi

Yatta!!! This is big news for me on a personal level. The subject of this episode is a man who I have been admiring for just about 20 years. In the late nineties, I remember renting Gamera 2: Advent of Legion (1996) from our local awesome video store and I was completely enamored with the amazing […]
