Major apologies for the delay in this update – apparently commentaries are a lot of work! On the plus side, I’ve been listening to a LOT of the commentaries that have been provided by Kaiju eiga historians such as Stuart Galbraith IV, Ed Godziszewski, August Ragone, Steve Ryfle and others in order to get a *much* stronger sense of the depth that these people will go to to make their presentations engaging and informative. I’m determined to make our next commentary something quite amazing – and that’s not going to be easy as the film basically serves as a bold footnote to more popular kaiju films. Thanks to a pol on the main Kaijucast page, our next commentary was voted on by the listeners and will be for the 1966 WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS! And it should be online by the middle of next month. Now if you’ll excuse us….. we’ve got a lot of work to do.

We’ve chosen the next commentary track! Hopefully we’ll be adding another couple of Kaijucast regulars to the list of commentators. Expect to be thrilled and chilled and somewhat educated in September!

If you live in the Portland area (in Oregon), make sure you block out the evening of April 24th because the Hollywood Theatre will be showing the 1962 kaiju battle royale, King Kong vs. Godzilla, for a special 50th anniversary screening!

Not only will the theater host the screening, but I will be standing up to say a few words about this monumental film and providing the Hollywood Theatre with material for their pre-show slideshow. Plus, if that’s not enough, we’ll actually have a brand new commentary available for download a few days before the screening AND I’ve changed the Kaijucast Daikaiju Discussion schedule, so that’s a whole month of giant monster madness focusing on this film!

More details to come, but make sure you buy your tickets early because Dan Halsted (Head Programmer/Technical Director for the theater) is pretty sure it’s going to sell out!

So Jeff and Martin just left the Kaijucast HQ and we had a blast watching and talking over the 2001 Godzilla · Mothra · King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack . We watched the Sony DVD, so make sure you have that if you are going to follow along, you are watching that. The good news is that it should take almost no editing at all, maybe some level cleanup…that’s it!

Now I have to move all this blasted recording equipment back to the desk!

If you got that Simpsons reference, you are my kind of people!

So if you are here, it’s hopefully because you want to watch one of these giant monster movies and hear what people from the Kaijucast have to say about it. More to come later!!!
