Godzillavangelists

After years of anticipation, it's finally time for GMK! ...Oh fine, we'll say the whole thing. Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!! Now take a drink of water to recover. Kaiju king Kaneko takes his spin at the Godzilla series, and it's an oft-talked about entry in the series. Ryan, Sam, and Joanna bring in special effects and makeup artist Jasper Anderson to talk monster suits, effects gone wrong, and the proper balance of goofy to grim a Godzilla movie should have.  Our next episode brings a double dose of Mechagodzilla with 2002 and 2003's duology. Rev up your Absolute Zero cannon because it's gonna be a cool episode.

What happens when a world-class director teams up with a very bland leading man and sticks him in the middle of a giant monster battle?

The Big G becomes a 21st century boy as we dive into Godzilla 2000 and usher in the Millenium series! (It's more a bunch of reboots than a series, but whatever.) No guests, but that's alright because it takes a true Godzilla expert to sort through this messy plot. Watch us make our way through Y2K panic, ancient aliens, and goofy dubbing like crap through a goose! Next time, we're talking giant robot-giant monster smash-em-up Pacific Rim, and its belated sequel. Guillermo del Toro, take us away.

Morally ambiguous, cutesy, and epic all at once, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II is beloved by many fans. It's time for the Godzillavangelists to dissect this holy tome! There's no guests- just the old classic trio. We're talkin' the cuteness of baby monsters, the safety and comfort of Mechagodzilla's weapon array, and the dorkiness of self-described "pteranodon fans".

Ryan's rejoicing to have Mothra back in 1992's Godzilla vs. Mothra, but how will the Godzillavangelists accept this blockbusting success overall? New guest Jess Morse brings in a keen perspective as we discuss the Godzilla creatures best fit to be a Beanie Baby and whether Battra is the Sith of big bug monsters. Oh, and whether Short Round grew up to be Big Round. Our next episode takes us to 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II. We can already hear the name "Baby" calling to us on the horizon.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is like the high school science crash course of Godzilla movies. It's got magnets, apemen, robots, and weird pipes that short out circuits when they're taken apart.
