G-Force: A Kaiju Podcast
A rotating cast of kaiju enthusiasts from all walks of life, headed by co-hosts Nick and Andrew, dive into a geeky dissection of all things kaiju- alternating between discussion of a randomly-chosen kaiju film, and discussion of kaiju topics or stories from other mediums, such as TV shows and comic books! Join us for this (mostly) bi-monthly podcast; you never know what you're going to get next!
