Our hosts attempt to answer that very question - but first, they must lay some groundwork on how they define "kaiju" and how do those rules apply to not just Stay Puft but also creatures such as Mighty Joe Young, the graboids from Tremors, Alien Baltan, werewolves, rampaging dinosaurs that have survived to live in our time, and many more!

The question isn't if the "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and "The Mayor of Toku Toy Town" Jay Key enjoyed these two movies - it's if they survived them. Though Yongary's historical significance on the Korean film world is legitimate and undeniable, it provides little shelter from itchy monster dances, rectal bleeding, poorly hidden flame...

"The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and the "Mayor of Toku Toy Town" Jay Key have returned to record together - and what better way to get back on the horse (kaiju?) than discussing ways to give some love to undervalued and underappreciated monsters? It's a little bit fantasy filmmaking, a little bit intellectual kaiju commentary - but mostly it's just weird. After all, can Jay really sell us on the idea of a new Varan movie?

This episode is a quick recap of the 2-part pilot episode of 1988's Denver, the Last Dinosaur; and Jay tries to answer questions such as: what was the true essence and message of Denver, the Last Dinosaur? What place does it deserve in the ecosystem of dinosaur pop culture? Does anyone care? Probably not. So just be thankful this is only 20 minutes.

Spanning nearly four decades of cinema, our beloved hosts dive deep into a quartet of kaiju and kaiju-adjacent flicks ranging from a zany 1970 "giant monsters fight on a tropical island" film that could be the final nail in the coffin of the golden era of kaiju eiga; to a 1994 epic fantasy steeped in Japanese folklore but somehow manages...

Some movies are the films that are simply bad. YHS on Monster Island's Jay Key takes a look at two instances where a low budget indie kaiju film tries to be a successful parody of the genre - one nails it, one is almost unwatchable. It's 2010's Death Kappa from the mind of Ultraman veteran, Tomoo Haraguchi, versus the Reigo/Raiga Trilogy from beloved fan favorite multi-tasker, Shinpei Hayashiya.

It’s a story of unproduced sequels, appendectomies, and a brash director that dared to make Godzilla fly. It’s 1971’s Godzilla vs. Hedorah!
