Really good but one flaw...

“I'm most of the way through their Showa era Godzilla retrospective and really do enjoy their banter despite them having issues with saying something like "larvae."
However, the biggest flaw, so far, is this Theometer where Eric asks his son, Theo, about what's happening within a particular segment of the Godzilla movie in question. This segment is dull and uninteresting. It adds nothing and slows the flow of the podcast. Hopefully this is dropped after a while.
*EDIT*
Okay, I listened up to their "Gamera Guardian of the Universe" podcast where they had the Tokyo Lives hosts and they discussed how the Godzilla/kaiju community should be, and there have been a few other podcasts, that came out WAY before this podcast, that discussed the problems of the fandom. To make it seem as if one podcast is talking about this is just not true. A few other podcasts discuss this and it is the most important subject in the fandom right now.
**EDIT: January 25, 2024**
Okay, I am upping their score to three stars after listening to more of their shows. They have begun to really find their rhythm and to become a more enjoyable listening experience. The immense decrease of the Gwendar and Theometer have helped (sorry, but I don't think those segments added anything). I still have issues with their never-ending obsession with thinking most movies have a tone issue; and, to be fair, this falls more on Eric than Alex. I don't believe Eric understands the difference between a tone and various sequences that bring about action, terror, etc. and I don't mean that as an insult. I truly don't believe he understands it. Regardless, I am giving them a couple more stars and hope they get better.
Okay, on the same day, I listened to their AVP review and heard Eric's complaint that that particular movie had nothing to say after I heard them talk about numerous other movies prior and him not bringing this point up nearly as often. Seriously, you're looking for something in AVP? Your three star got demoted back to a one star within a few hours.
Let me just say I can't find Eric's critique of movies is helpful to this podcast. May I suggest Alex throw him overboard for someone more appropriate to what he's reviewing? LOL!!! Only one can dream. Sorry, but this just doesn't cut it anymore. Eric is the anchor holding down this podcast with his ego and thinking he knows better.
He doesn't. Get rid of him.”Read full review »

“I love this podcast! I listen to it every week after I complete a rewatch of my favourite monster movie, The Guyver 2. The hosts are great! Eric’s dulcet tones remind me of David Hayter (Solid Snake) who happens to be the star of the Guyver 2! Alex is excellent as our guide into the world of...”Read full review »

“A delightful podcast that is a great way for those unfamiliar with the genre to explore the world of monsters in a refreshing way. While they started off with Godzilla and went into their far superior Gamera series (cause Zigra is in it), they are now branching out and exploring the wonderful...”Read full review »

“Recently started getting more into movie podcasts, and this one is a lot of fun! I appreciate how breezy the episodes are and how listenable the conversation always is. It’s annoying I can’t chime in because their opinions are usually dead wrong. Lol, happy to have found this gem.”
