Created and hosted by Brian Scherschel. A podcast about the appreciation of kaiju and tokusatsu movies and discovering their historical and cultural value
In this short video, I reintroduce KVR’s YouTube channel. I’m here to say welcome to the show again! I say again about what Kaijuvision focuses on. I will sometimes make an appearance for videos in-person.

In the latest Bonus Behind-the-Scenes Special Feature, I explain how I created the show’s structure and the role my patriotism played. I put this feature together to go into my thought process during that time. I strongly believe that America helps its friends and its allies, and that we stay strong for them, as they help us. The structure itself reveals the important information and opinions every time it’s used.

At G-Fest XXV, Brian interviewed kaiju author and podcaster Kevin Derendorf. His book is called “Kaiju for Hipsters: 101 ‘Alternative’ Giant Monster Movies”. We discuss the thought processes and goals behind “Kaiju for Hipsters” and compare them to the creative process and goals of Kaijuvision Radio. We discuss the need for rare films to be saved, archived and viewed by audiences because rare films are often entertaining and special. We discuss the need for going deeper into kaiju and tokusatsu movies instead of covering the surface as so many have before. We discuss Shin Godzilla, Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), House, the Godzilla Anime Trilogy, and many more fine films.
A lot of critics know and understand the basics of the 1954 Godzilla, but they have less of an understanding of what makes a great Godzilla sequel. This movie has by far the most Toho magic of any non-Japanese Godzilla movie to date. I address the box office, the critical reviews, and how the way this film was edited is a big reason for the film’s underperformance. The related topic for this episode is eco-terrorism and climate change.
This episode is dedicated to director Michael Dougherty.

See the diagrams of all the Godzilla movies yourself! What do you think? Which Godzilla movies expanded the style of the franchise? Roughly one in three is an expansion film. In this YouTube video, I say which ones those are. In Part 1 of every movie-centered episode of Kaijuvision Radio, the film is either listed as an expansion or a reinforcement of style. Listen as Brian says how that was determined for each Godzilla movie.
I’d like to send a shout-out to our patron Sean Stiff for donating at the Kaiju Visionary level. Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it.
