Apologies for the short post, but things are crazy busy here at the Kaijucast HQ – what with the impending premiere of the documentary at G-Fest, and all of the other stuff I have going on. To illustrate this point, we actually recorded this last weekend and I haven’t had a chance to edit the audio until today. Maybe we’ll chat about all of that in the next hangout episode.

This installment of the Kaijucast focuses on the 2002 film, Godzilla X Mechagodzilla. Overall, this film went over really well with Rachel, Martin and Adam (yes, that’s right, Adam Alexander from the Monster Project is back!) and I’m very pleased we had such a lively discussion about this great entry in the series.
