Podcasts – Kaijucast

This month Jeff Dean, co-host extraordinaire of Horror Holocaust, joins the Kaijucast to talk about the Legendary Pictures film, review the new issue of Gangsters & Goliaths and basically talk about the Big G. Wow – Episode 35 is upon us! And after missing a few Daikaiju Discussions, Jeff Dean -half of the terrifying team that puts on Horror Holocaust-  joins us for a conversational episode about Godzilla. In addition to simply great conversation, we are also reviewing the very first issue of IDW Publishing’s first Godzilla mini-series, Gangsters & Goliaths. This is an amazing first issue by John Layman and Alberto Ponticelli. Hopefully you’ve picked it up or will go buy it from your local comic book shop – we highly suggest it! So, anyway, it has been a really long time since Jeff sat down without having watched a movie for the Daikaiju Discussions and the last time we did that, I ended up recording for close to two hours. Other than some key points about the Legendary pictures film, the new comic review and Jeff’s well-placed love for Mothra, I wanted to make sure we didn’t drone on for too long. It’s very easy to talk with Jeff about this subject because We both love giant monster movies! So I hope you like the discussion because Jeff will definitely be back. MUSIC 1.
