Welcome to this super awesome deluxe episode of Tokyo Lives! This time we are talking about the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy and of course since we had 3 whole movies to talk about we did run a bit long.

Unfortunately, we recorded this 2 weekends ago so we ended up missing all the big trailers and news but we'll be sure to talk about them all once we get to Kong Month!

Episode 12: Gojira VERSUS Godzilla: King Of The Monsters

Today we have an episode that we've been building up to since the very beginning. We finally talk in-depth about the original Godzilla film that spawned one of the longest running film series of al time. Not content to treat it like any other film, we decided to make this a VERSUS episode and pit the American and Japanese versions against each other in a fight to the death. 

The rules are simple:

1. Comment under this article AFTER listening to our arguments to vote for the winner of this VERSUS match. You can only vote once and if you don't write briefly about why you support your pick, your vote will unfortunately not be counted.
2. No fighting in the comments or name calling. Support your claim and don't call anyone else out on their opinion.
3. We'll count the votes before the next episode and declare a winner!

Never before have two titans met with this much on the line. Coleman and Kyle pit the two infamous versions of the original Godzilla film against each other and only you can decide who wins!

SHOWNOTES

News (2:58) 

We delve deep into some of the reactions from 'Shin Godzilla' opening in Japan and from there touch briefly on 'Pacific Rim 2' updates.

Main Topic (30:29)

For years people have told us that if you're going to watch the original Godzilla, watch the Japanese version. Coleman questions that logic and Kyle defends 54's honor in an incredibly tense Tokyo Lives VERSUS episode!

Episode 11: The Best And Worst Godzilla Designs

This is an argument that fans have been engaged in since the beginning. Which Godzilla design reigns supreme? Which one looks like a grey speckled diaper with fangs? These are the important questions that Kyle and Coleman delve into on today's episode. Before that though, they delve into all the recent Shin Godzilla news and wonder when and if we'll see a new trailer (I know, there already is one, but we recorded this last week)

Continuing our massive Godzilla-themed month of coverage, this episode obliterates all notion of opinion and taste as we flat out argue which of the many Godzilla designs reign supreme! 

SHOWNOTES

News (01:25)
Nothing but Shin Godzilla updates and some minor Kong: Skull Island speculation.

Main Topic (31:52)

It's Godzilla vs Godzilla vs Godzilla in this very heated discussion about the best and worse Big-G designs of all time!

Episode 08: The Road To Godzilla Resurgence

I think it's safe to say (without checking) that we've talked about the new Toho Pictures Godzilla film, briefly, on every single episode of this podcast so far. That's because we know how big of an event the release of 'Godzilla Resurgence' will be for us and fans worldwide. We decided to take a break from the huge line up of films and discussions we have planned for this podcast and take a step back in time to see what led up to this complete re-imagining of one of the oldest film franchises in existence along with the two directors who will take the series forward.

This episode also has us discussing some of the major news concerning giant monsters that has hit in the last few weeks. We discuss IDW's new time traveling Godzilla comic series that is being written by Jeremy Robinson, with art by Matt Frank. We delve into the huge reveal of the new 'Power Rangers' reboot costumes and how much of a departure they are for the franchise. After that, we wrap up the news section with a discussion about the departure of Gareth Edwards from the directors chair on Legendary's 'Godzilla 2' and who they might get to replace him. Finally we dive headfirst into our main topic of the night: The Road To Godzilla Resurgence.

Shed off your irradiated skin and listen to this brand new, pulse pounding episode of Tokyo Lives, where we illuminate the history and future of the upcoming Toho Pictures revamp: 'Godzilla Resurgence.'

SHOWNOTES

News (2:35)
IDW's new Godzilla comic "Godzilla: Rage Across Time" written by Jeremy Robinson. The Power Rangers reboot reveals their revamped costumes. Gareth Edwards departs 'Godzilla 2.'

Main Topic (28:44)
We discuss Toho Picture's past and present leading up to the release of the highly anticipated 'Godzilla Resurgence.'
