Rise of Ultraman: “Oceans 11 Story Monster” Feat. Alex of Monsters vs Men
It's time to leave the (TV) Land of Light and dive into the world of Marvel’s Rise of Ultraman! Discussing this new take on the giant of light with us is Alex of Monsters vs. Men, and as always, hijinks ensue...
Ultraman Ginga S #2: “Misuzu Joined a Gang?!“
Wait, it's time to finish Ginga S already?! That's what happens when there are only sixteen episodes, I suppose. So the question is: does the show stick its landing, or do we find ourselves demanding (more)? And Chris watches his first Ultra-movie!
Episodes covered:
9. “A Life to Regain,” Director: Yoshikazu Ishii, Writer: Hisako Kurosawa

Ultraman Ginga S #1: "Fifty Sho-des of Gudon"
When Koichi Sakamoto takes the reins for Ultraman Ginga S, the direction changes, but is it for the best? Is Ultraman Victory a worthwhile addition? And what theological connections does Chris make this time? Time to Ultra-smash that play button!
Episodes covered:
- “The Power to Open the Way,” Director: Koichi Sakamoto, Writer: Yuji Kobayashi
- “Ginga vs...
BONUS: “Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Might” feat. Eric of Monsters vs. Men
We enjoyed having Eric from Monsters vs. Men on so much we decided to keep the conversation going!
Topics discussed: Eric’s journey from film snob to toku fan; whether films and shows are as effective in encouraging change compared to literature; fandom obsessions, expectations, and how this can shape one’s identity; Eric’s journey through the MCU with his wife; and the concept of the “sympathetic antagonist.”

Ultraman Ginga #2: "The Proverbs 31 Ultrawoman" feat. Eric of Monsters vs. Men
Joining us for some spicy shenanigans is Eric Neely of Monsters vs. Men infamy! This episode contains: 50g of mispronouncing character names, 20mg of confusing the main antagonist with a legendary Pokemon, and 100% good times. Please listen responsibly.
Episodes covered:
7. “The Monster Competition,” Director: Yuichi Abe, Writer: Akira Tanizaki

Ultraman Ginga #1: "I have a crush on every Ultraman!"
We made it to the New Generation era. First stop: Ginga! Does this show deserve the hate it gets? Does Hasegawa's writing work for us? And why are nut shots such an effective comedic trope? Plus: medicine balls...
BONUS: "Tequila Gundam's Revenge" Feat. Pri
We did a bonus episode with Pri, because otherwise, the actual episode would have been two hours!
Topics discussed: religion and crucifixion imagery in the Ultraman franchise, era-elitism, Ultraman Z, theories about Trigger*, old-school Toonami, the live-action Gundam movie announcement, and of course more MCU/Falcon and Winter Soldier discourse...
Ultraman #4: "At least he has a porpoise!" Feat. Pri
When you schedule your first podcast guest, it only makes sense to have one of the most welcoming and passionate Ultraman fans out there, right? Thankfully, our friend Pri agreed to join us for the final episodes of Ultraman, and we had a blast! Onward to Ginga!
Episodes covered:
31. “Who Goes There?,” Director: Yuzo Higuchi, Writer: Taro Kaido

Ultraman #3: "Death and Taxidermies"
Remembering Jessica Walter. The Marvel Cinematic Universe. Healthy social media usage. Are we even an Ultraman podcast anymore?! (Of course we are. But someone really needs to Ultra-slap us into Ultra-shape.)
Episodes covered:
21. “Breach the Wall of Smoke,” Director: Yuzo Higuchi, Writer: Taro Kaido

Ultraman #2: "Sit and Twitch"
We made it to episode two! And they say it couldn’t be done! (For the record, no one said this.) Chris experiences a Jissoji episode for the first time, David botches the dad joke he's been holding onto for weeks, and we think up the best kaiju idea ever.
Episodes covered:
11. “The Rascal From Outer Space,” Director: Kazuho Mitsuta, Writer: Tatsuo Miyata
