This week we're talking your favorite director's favorite monster movie, WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS. The spiritual and literal sequel to Frankenstein Conquers The World is a true classic in every sense of the word, acting on the emotion of the previous film with a more epic, folk tale-esque spin on things. Join us in our discussion as well as our begging for an eventual criterion release!

A threatening aura is cast over the show this week. A pandora's box of unchecked insanity lies beneath. Wyatt lays the gun, Nicky acknowledges it. You are doomed.
Also we talk about Resident Evil, Wandavision, The 25th Ward and Bravely Default II. It's a fun time, come and hang out!
...If you dare.

On this week's rider-cast we're taking a little intermission in the form of an exploration of the Kamen Rider manga from 1972, penned by Shotaro Ishinomori himself. Obviously it's a classic in every sense of the word, but we're here to discuss its inner workings as a cross-promotional item as well as a reflection on the early imperfections of the original show. We also discuss the absolutely wild swings this manga takes and the strong, bittersweet and oddly flawed note it goes out on. If all ...

We've been having a sort of consistent issue lately of feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we're churning out over here so we've ultimately decided to slow things down just a tad. At least until we've cleaned off some of our projects. As a result of this, Shit Shooters is now going to be recorded on a bi-weekly basis. Starting this week. This should honestly make for better individual episodes of the show so I think it should work out fine.
Just to give you...

This week we're talking about Jun Fukuda's monster-laden take on the old Summer Date Movie with EBIRAH, HORROR OF THE DEEP. We've got dancing, we've got thievery, we've got secret bases, giant lobsters, lightning rods and our old friend Godzilla! Mothra is there too. Grab your floaties and come hang out by the pool while we give our takes on the oft-hated showa classic.

This week on Shit Shooters we actually go over very few topics, there's some talk on Kirby's Adventure and Resident Evil Revelations but aside from that its mainly just a discussion on the current news stories in games. We talk some Playstation stuff, go out of our minds about Final Fantasy, mourn Japan Studio, and lament the current state of Pokemon fan discussion (while giving some of our own takes about the recent Pokemon reveals.)
New Discuss All Monsters this week! Thanks so much f...

Well here's a short one. We didn't have too much to talk about with these episodes as uh... they were kinda weak? We start out with the fun conclusion to the double rider two-parter but then uh.... idk we got some kinda weak stuff lol. Also we had an enormously hard time with recording this one so there might be an adjustment in sound quality after a point. It's not too bad though. But yeah.
Anyways here you go! Thanks for supporting us, we'll be back with a small detour as we tak...

This week we make a valiant stumble back into shit shooting with a discussion on the recent Nintendo Direct as well as Wyatt's continued journey through Resident Evils 0,4, and 5 (and Nicky giving anecdotes about 5's co-op). We also talk about The Muppets, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and Nicky catching up on the Jujutsu Kaisen manga.
This friday we're gonna have a fresh Let's Go Rider-Cast for all 5 dollar patrons so stay tuned!

This week, Nicky and Wyatt take a look at the unassuming but outstanding Frankenstein Conquers The World, a clear highlight in the Toho monster catalogue for its incredible effects work and enthralling sci-fi story. Despite being adapted for the kaiju genre, "Conquers The World" still retains that essential Frankenstein core and it makes for one of the best films we've discussed to date. Hear more in-depth thoughts in this very episode!

On this week's rider-cast we have a discussion on the latest in Ichimonji's adventures, as well as get a glimpse of our old friend Hongo! The General Zol arc comes to a close and a new one begins with the treacherous Doctor Shinigami (or Doctor Death if you're on those Shout! Factory subs lol). It's a season of change for our heroes as the first year of this show transitions into the second and we start to reach the halfway mark of this miniseries...

It's a video game-centric episode!

Such as Resident Evil, Dark Souls, Mafia Definitive Edition, and... uh The Simpsons!

Diamonds, Mark Jackson and the Great Swamp!
This time on Discuss All Monsters, Nicky and Wyatt take on the task of going over Dogora, a baffling and surprising entry in the Toho monster catalogue. This is an incredibly overlooked movie, to the point of being almost kinda lost media? (Let's take a moment to thank Internet Archive, everyone.) We were pleasantly surprised by this one and we think you might be too so tune into the podcast and let's find out about it together.

On this week's Let's Go!! Rider-Cast, we experience a bit of repetition on the monster front, however we're also introduced to the first proper general of the series: Zol. Zol is a fearsome leader by day and makeup master by night and he's going to serve up some fresh challenges for our heroes at the Tachibana Racing Club. Check out what we have to say about that and more in this episode!
Also, let's all give a big round of applause for Taki for finally following through on his disguis...

This week's Shit Shooters finds Nicky and Wyatt delving into key games from decades past (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Ninja Gaiden Black and Dragon Quest V) and the way their legacies ripple out into culture, both in and out of games. Also they just played them and thought it'd be fun to discuss. Also Wyatt talks about Star Trek for a while and about how much he doesn't want to get a CBS All Access account. This leads into a conversation about Adult Cartoons and why they're all literally just...

This year, we've decided to do a double-sided episode with a fun discussion about the nonsensical and childish Greenman at the top of the hour and a descent into madness with the senselessly violent Redman in the second half. Best accompanied with some eggnog and a warm fire.

What follows is a fun conversation about some truly goofy episodes as the scrappy, down-on-its-luck toku classic finally finds its groove.
