This week on the ol' podcast, Wyatt and Nicky BREAK THE RULES. ON THE FOURTH EPISODE. It's okay though because Robocon talk is worth it and it's not like there will be a proper Explode When Defeated on it anytime soon (sadly). We also have a good, long conversation about remakes of the video game...

On this month's Discuss All Monsters, Wyatt and Nicky talk about the world-famous wild empress herself, Mothra! The film is a stark contrast to the dull (to say the least) Varan the Unbelievable, because this movie is in fact incredibly entertaining, with quite possibly the best cast...

Ohranger is a pretty fascinating show in the history of Super Sentai. It had a fantastic setup marred by a shaky production, and in the years since it's kind of had a bad reputation as a show that almost killed the series (that isn't true by the way). So this time we'll be taking a look at ...

This month in Discuss All Monsters, Wyatt and Nicky try to come up with SOMETHING. ANYTHING. to say about Varan the Unbelievable. This movie's not very good, and on top of that it's not very interesting either! So please take a listen, marvel at two podcasting hopefuls trying their a...

In this fifth episode of Discuss All Monsters, we REALLY stretch the definition of "monster movie" and talk about a movie that barely even features a monster! We're talking about The Mysterians this time, and to do that we start the episode off a little differently before going whole hog into our...

GARO is unique from its contemporaries in that it's the only large tokusatsu series that's aimed at adults. Does that mean it's ultra-dark and edgy? Not quite. In this video, I describe how GARO is a series that's a lot sweeter than its outward appearance suggests.
This episode was a ...
