Godzilla: Singular Point has taken the kaiju world by (a big red dust) storm! But does one need an advanced understanding of temporal physics to enjoy it...or can you just sit back and watch Jet Jaguar slice and dice his way through a swarm of Megalon-Kumonga-Hedorah-Kamacuras-Gigan hybrids and be satisfied? YHS on Monster Island's hosts, "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and the "Mayor of Toku Toy Town" Jay Key, try and answer just that - plus, what monster designs delivered, how it improved on the last Godzilla anime, did it handle time travel better or worse than Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, and what may be in store for season two. It's an episode jam-packed with a metric ton of technobabble (not really) befitting of a podcast that even Ashihara considered the undiscovered 14th stage of the red dust (not really), breaching time and space beyond what was ever thought possible by the Archetype (also, not really).
In addition to Godzilla: Singular Point, the hosts share their sofubi and LitGodzi hauls and Jay shares some quick thoughts on Birth of Japan/The Three Treasures and The Howl from Beyond the Fog.

The Great Kaiju Cinema Swap
What happens when "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and co-host Jay Key recommend films to each other that the other one hasn't seen before? You get the first ever Great Kaiju Cinema Swap! Four movies. Four very different movies. Spanning nearly four decades of cinema, our beloved hosts dive deep into a quartet of kaiju and kaiju-adjacent flicks ranging from a zany 1970 "giant monsters fight on a tropical island" film that could be the final nail in the coffin of the golden era of kaiju eiga; to a 1994 epic fantasy steeped in Japanese folklore but somehow manages to weave in were-wizards with laser beam eyes, lightsabers, and a final confrontation between an eight-headed King Ghidorah and a Megazord; to a 2006 Korean critical masterpiece that tackles multiple themes brilliantly under the guise of a dark absurdist satire; to an American entry from 2008 that broke all previous molds of successful viral marketing and solidified the term "found footage" into the moviegoing lexicon. We give you: Space Amoeba, Yamato Takeru, The Host, and Cloverfield.
Did they love them? Did they hate them? Are they still doing the podcast after subjecting each other to these films? Tune in to find out!

YHS on Monster Island XTRA: Does Valley of Gwangi "Dig Deeper"?
"The Mayor of Toku Toy Town" Jay Key goes solo to tackle the 1969 Ray Harryhausen classic, The Valley of Gwangi, and attempt to overcome his decades long indecision about the merits of this plucky little film. We get dinosaurs battling cowboys, dinosaurs battling dinosaurs, dinosaurs battling elephants, dinosaurs eating evil gypsy dwarves, cinema's longest roping scene, a former Miss World runner-up, and an Eohippus. I mean...come on! Gwangi's influence is far reaching, there is no denying that, but does it hold up today? And why is Jay reviewing it anyways...this is a kaiju podcast, not a dinosaur podcast?
