Have you recently found yourself overcome with the unrelenting need to hear two 30-something year-old men talk for nearly an hour about Japanese monster movies? If so, then boy, have you come to the right place.
This week on the Vaultcast, it is my distinct honor to have as my guest Mr. Miguel Rodriguez, a fellow Godzilla-phile who also happens to run his own podcast, Monster Island Resort. As you can probably tell from the name of his show, Miguel is a huge fan of the big green lizard and his many far-out cohorts and foes. And given my own unconditional love of all things kaiju--see my three-part history of the original Godzilla series--I figured it might be a very good idea if we put our heads together and engaged in some mutual worship of rubber monster suits.
I warn you ahead of time: The geekery involved this week reaches alarming proportions. Your mileage may vary. If you dare to take a listen to our discussion of singing fairies, cockroach people and little boys in tiny shorts, then check out the embedded player below--or proceed directly to the official Vaultcast page to download.

I think you guys had a mind gasm of dorkiest proportions. LOVE IT!
Yes, it's a good thing I was sitting down. I felt like I needed a cigarette after this. Oh, Godzilla....
there just isn't enough godzilla talk in the world. and the all out insanity of Godzilla: Final Wars is endlessly entertaining to me. i actually see it as not just a showa film, but kind of a 70s showa film.
Yes! I can't see why any G-fan wouldn't love Final Wars!
I will never understand the love for Final Wars... That debate will go on forever, real reason for commenting is to high five Hedorah! Love the Smog Monster, definitely a fun flick. My two favorite Showa films have to be G V Mothra and Terror. These encapsulate everything I ever loved in the Godzilla films, and Honda is no joke in his final farewell to the series.
Carl, thanks so much for checking in on my podcast doings! I promise to return to more podcasting in the future, it's just finding the time for it (or most other things) that's become such a challenge lately. Stay tuned--I plan to continue my "Universal Armageddon" series with Miguel, among other things...
