All good things must come to an end, and that includes the original Godzilla series. It's time to wrap up this 15-movie journey with a dive into one of the darkest entries: Terror of Mechagodzilla.
Read MoreGodzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is like the high school science crash course of Godzilla movies. It's got magnets, apemen, robots, and weird pipes that short out circuits when they're taken apart.
Read MoreIt's time to visit one of the strangest and most memorable non-Godzilla Toho monster mashes: The War of the Gargantuas! Ryan, Joanna, and Sam get to discuss human-eating politics, the religiosity of Masers, and Brad Pitt's weird obsessions.
Read MoreGodzilla's woefully cheap 70s days hit a new high (or low) with the infamous Godzilla vs. Gigan! Also known as Godzilla on Monster Island, this 2v2 beat-em-up can challenge even the most devoted Godzillavangelist.
Read MoreIt's time. We step up to the plate with one of the most divisive and scorned Godzilla movies: Godzilla's Revenge AKA All Monsters Attack. Is it a creative exercise for a director, a wonderful children's film, or a cheapo movie full of holes? Or...all three?
Read MoreWe're back, with a double feature to boot! The gang is talking about the original 1933 King Kong, as well as Toho's wacky King Kong Escapes.
Read MoreWith more than 3 years of experience talking about giant monsters, invading aliens, and ridiculous plot holes, the Godzillavangelists are taking things back to basics. Fan favorite Destroy All Monsters is at the center of the conversation, and there's no special guests to get in the way of a nice evening.
Or are there?
Read MoreIt's a classic 60s throwback double feature as the Godzillavangelists go into overtime. This time they talk about Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (AKA Invasion of Astro-Monster) and Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster (AKA Ebirah, Horror of the Deep). It's title overload over here.
Read MoreThe Godzillavangelists emerge during this dark and smoggy time to talk about Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster AKA Godzilla vs. Hedorah. Funnily enough, times are bad enough that we almost cherish the idea of being dissolved by Hedorah's acid.
Read MoreThe Godzillavangelists really stick their neck out this time, when they go to bat against the fandom and defend Son of Godzilla! Or at least, Ryan does, while Sam has a love affair with a striped shed and Joanna questions Godzilla's parenting techniques.
Read MoreAlthough cast apart from coast to coast, nothing can halt the might of the Godzillavangelists! In anticipation of their next big episode, Ryan, Joanna, and Sam reunite to catch up on life and recap their adventure in Godzillavangelizing so far.
Read MoreAfter a long, long hibernation, the prehistoric monster known as Godzillavangelists emerges! It turns its many heads to the 1964 monster mash, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, and the whole earth quakes in terror! Or maybe they're just running to Ghidorah's one-woman show.
Read MoreToday, our faithful Godzillavangelists turn their attention to Mothra vs. Godzilla (AKA Godzilla vs. The Thing). Like a glitzy night on the town, things start out enchantingly enough, but end up with a frustrating, sticky white mess. Blech.
Guest star Melinda West of Sugar Rum Tantrum joins them to talk about Godzilla's inner traumas and to play some songs, including a beautiful cover of Sacred Springs you don't want to miss!
Read MoreFilm history is full of lost versions of famous movies, often discarded in their time but reinstated later to restore the director's intent. Blade Runner, Spartacus, Little Shop of Horrors... and of course, King Kong vs. Godzilla.
Read MoreThere are some conflicts that just have a momentous, lasting impact on our culture. Brown v. Board of Education. Apple vs. Microsoft. And of course, King Kong vs. Godzilla.
Read MoreWho was your first crush? A celebrity? A classmate? For Ryan, it was Mothra's twin fairies, and so he's dragged Sam and Joanna to the front row seats for this episode's viewing of Mothra.
Actor and improviser Charlotte Spangler joins the Godzillavangelists on their journey through the incredibly bizarre world of paper-mache chickens and Japanese interpretations of Christianity. Is Jesus Christ a 60-meter female butterfly? Possibly!
Read MoreJoin Ryan, Sam, and Joanna, for their viewing of Rodan, a gritty depiction of a postwar Japan mining town, suddenly struck by the devastation of a serial killer. Or maybe it's just a big ugly bug. That a bigger, uglier bird is eating.
Old pal Will Levinger joins the Godzillavangelists as a guest as they begin their short deviation from Godzilla and meet his flying friend, Rodan. Will the power of four minds be able to find a protagonist in this movie? Tune in to find out.
Read MoreIn the course of watching Godzilla Raids Again, Joanna, Sam, and Ryan discover that the movie hides incredible gems of wisdom. Sadly, these are completely impenetrable to anyone except fish scouting pilots.
Joined by guests Ed Baker and Sandra Cheng, the Godzillavangelists tackle the incredibly bizarre American adaption of the first (and quite possibly the weakest) Godzilla sequel.

Take one science fiction classic, remove biting message, stir in bored Hollywood actor. Mix well, serve as Godzilla, King of The Monsters. Ryan, Sam, and Joanna poke holes in this American version of the first Godzilla movie while undoubtedly falling in love with that charismatic, Cairo-obsessed curmudgeon, Steve Martin. (No, not that Steve Martin.)
Read MoreRyan introduces Sam and Joanna to their first Godzilla movie and boy, is it depressing! Experience the highs and lows of the 1954 original Godzilla, including very handsome sailors, overdramatic radio operators, and the single greatest miniature fire truck of all time.
