My First Podcast:
Kaijuvision Radio

Wanna hear my original analyses of the Godzilla series from Godzilla (1954) to Shin Godzilla? Listen to Kaijuvision Radio, where Brian Scherschel and I take a long and analytical journey through the franchise. This is where I cut my teeth as a podcaster and film critic and developed my philosophy of film appreciation. These are the YouTube versions that feature scenic videos.
