Think of it as Little Shop of Horrors meets Godzilla, only it’s not as bad or as goofy as it sounds. The kaiju kiddos love this entry in the Godzilla franchise and I don’t blame them. This one is purposefully outrageous and full of fun. Complete with piano wires in which to get the monsters to ...
In which a rather stoned-looking King Kong (put down the sleep inducing berries, man!!) gets to ride a bundle of hot air balloons across the sea and then summon a whole lot of lightning in order to kick Godzilla’s radioactive thunder thighs! King Kong vs Godzilla is exactly what Toho needed after the lukewarm ...

“We may be witnessing a Biblical prophecy come true--the beasts will reign over the earth.” Today, on Kaiju Korner, I’m going to flip the script a bit and focus on . . . bugs.

With the brand-new release of ALL FIVE (so far) of the Monsterverse movies on Ultra 4K, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit 2017’s Kong: Skull Island.

“Once they were men; now they are land crabs.” The late GREAT Roger Corman was not one to shy away from kaiju territory, no matter the ridiculousness of the story. His early B-movies are absolute marvels at what he was able to pull off on a dime-sized budget and that’s where we take things ...
