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.

Episode 85: Day of the Triffids (1963)

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!

Episode 84: Gorgo (1961)

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!

Episode 83: The Giant Gila Monster (1959)

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!

Episode 82: The Giant Behemoth (1959)

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.
