GO GO TOKYO RANGERS! Time for us to talk about the newest installment in the long running Power Rangers franchise!

IT"S MORPHIN TIME! This week on Tokyo Lives, we are Talking about the two previous theatricaly released Power Rangers films ('Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie' and 'Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie') To get us pumped up for the new movie coming out later this week.

We've waited years for the second part of the Legendary MonsterVerse and it has finally arrived! Join hosts Kyle, Rob, and Marisa as they discuss the return of one of cinema's most iconic monsters!

Welcome to another episode of Tokyo Lives! This week, we are Talking about the 2005 'King Kong' film directed by Peter Jackson. This episode is the part two of our Kongmonth coverage leading up to the release of 'Kong: Skull Island' and we couldn't be more excited!

Welcome to another long episode of Tokyo Lives! Of course we are talking about the classic 1962 film 'King Kong Vs Godzilla' this week. This episode is the first part of our Kongmonth coverage leading up to the release of 'Kong: Skull Island' and we couldn't be more excited!

Welcome to this super awesome deluxe episode of Tokyo Lives! This time we are talking about the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy and of course since we had 3 whole movies to talk about we did run a bit long.

Happy New Years every one! What better way to ring in 2017, than having a new episode of your favorite giant monster podcast to listen to? This is a bit of a fresh start for the Podcast with some new sultery voices appearing for your listening pleasure. As promised multiple times, this episode is discussing the 2006 Korean monster romp known as The Host!

We've waited years at this point for Toho's latest Godzilla romp and we have a LOT to talk about. Join hosts Coleman and Kyle as they fight like it's a versus episode about Shin Godzilla's place in the King of the Monsters pantheon and history.

Today we have an episode that we've been building up to since the very beginning. We finally talk in-depth about the original Godzilla film that spawned one of the longest running film series of al time. Not content to treat it like any other film, we decided to make this a VERSUS episode and pit the American and Japanese versions against each other in a fight to the death. 

This is an argument that fans have been engaged in since the beginning. Which Godzilla design reigns supreme? Which one looks like a grey speckled diaper with fangs? These are the important questions that Kyle and Coleman delve into on today's episode. Before that though, they delve into all the recent Shin Godzilla news and wonder when and if we'll see a new trailer (I know, there already is one, but we recorded this last week)

I have been waiting so long to do this episode, and while many of you will scoff at this being our podcast's first introduction to Kong, I think it's a great way to kick things off. Jeff Bridges chasing after Jessica Lange  in the jungles of Hawaii holds a special place in my heart, and I hope we can sway those of you who have never really given it a second, or even first, look.

This is an important episode for our little podcast, as we're now starting to delve into the iconic monsters that rule over the fandom. Gamera is one of the "big three" in my eyes, and having not seen many of his films, it was incredibly exciting to dive into the first one early in the podcast's lifecycle. 'Daikaiju Gamera' may not be the best film in the series, but it's incredibly interesting to see the aspects of his future status come alive for the first time in this film. Plus, TOSHIO!!!

I think it's safe to say (without checking) that we've talked about the new Toho Pictures Godzilla film, briefly, on every single episode of this podcast so far. That's because we know how big of an event the release of 'Godzilla Resurgence' will be for us and fans worldwide. We decided to take a break from the huge line up of films and discussions we have planned for this podcast and take a step back in time to see what led up to this complete re-imagining of one of the oldest film franchises in existence along with the two directors who will take the series forward.

This episode marks a turning point for the podcast, as we delve into our first book discussion. Of course, it just happens to be a book that is widely regarded as one of the best new kaiju properties and is extremely well written by the best-selling author Jeremy Robinson. Dubbed a "kaiju thriller," the book and its author do not disappoint on either of those fronts.

Today, we are canceling the apocalypse! (The apocalypse being: going another day without a new episode of 'Tokyo Lives: A Giant Monsters Podcast') On the latest episode, we start out with a bang and go in-depth discussing the latest 'Kong: Skull Island' footage and the first actual trailer for 'Godzilla: Resurgence.' This was a huge week for the two classic monsters and we waist no time arguing and butting heads while breaking down what we thought about their latest iterations and what the future might hold.

Stomping onto the scene, today's episode is a blast from the past where hosts Coleman and Kyle discuss the acclaimed Toho Pictures classic 'The War of the Gargantuas.' Before getting to the main topic, they announce the winner of last week's "VERSUS" episode, talk about Marvel's latest foray into giant monsters, share memories of the old Universal Studios ride 'Kongfrontation,' and talk about the new 'Skull Island: Reign of Kong' ride.

On today's very special episode, your hosts briefly discuss some of latest news including 'King Kong vs Tarzan' finally seeing the light of day and more 'Shin Godzilla' teases from Toho before moving onto the main topic of the night: STOP MOTION VERSUS SUITMATION!!

Coming to you raw and unedited, hosts Coleman and Kyle have braved the '10 Cloverfield Lane' premiere to get you a review as quickly as possible. They start out spoiler free and let you know their honest thoughts and opinions on whether or not you should spend your hard earned cash on J.J. Abrams new suspense-thriller. After a hefty warning, they jump straight off the deep end and really let loose in the spoilers section. Words and possibly blood are shed as they try to communicate some confused and surprising feelings.
