Korean Kaiju Chaos! Exploring Korea’s Beloved and Obscure Monster Cinema 

After Japan, South Korea stands as easily the most prolific produces of giant monster films in Asia. Most kaiju lovers are familiar with the likes of Yongary and The Host, but what about the crazier, more obscure films that have slipped under the radar? Daniel DiManna (creator/author of the Godzilla Novelization Project) and Elijah Thomas (co-host of the Kaiju Conversations podcast) break the seal and dive deep into the most bonkers Korean kaiju/tokusatsu you’ve heard of this side of Wangmagwi and Dinosaur Zuzu (don’t worry, we’ll explain). (Daniel DiManna & Elijah Thomas)
