Tag: The Lake

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! With Korea finally behind them—much to Nate’s relief—he and Jimmy migrate to Thailand. There they are joined by the founder and editor of Kaiju United, your premiere kaiju website, to discuss the ambitious “thaiju” (ba-dum-tsh!) film, The Lake (2022). Jacob had the privilege of interviewing its director, Lee Thongkham, for KU, which is frequently referenced in this episode since there is shockingly little info online for this film. Not even the usual kaiju wiki pages have anything! Regardless, it’s an ambitious little movie, and compared to some of Thailand’s other giant monster fare, it’s practically a masterpiece. (Looking at you, Garuda!) Thongkham said his film was inspired by local legends of a serpent god, which inspired Nate to research the naga as this episode’s Toku Topic.
