KES and Slick dole out some awards for 2023.  Best Picture, Best Figure, Best Kaiju Design, Best Characters...and a few razzies too.  We also go into our thoughts on Monarch: Legacy of Monsters episodes 6, 7, and 8.  Did we get some 1950's stuff?  Did stuff actually happen in 2015? Is Tim loyal to Monarch or the group? We'll discuss it all.  We also go into detail about the new Playmates releases that have hit store shelves so be warned, the spoiler is no longer a spoiler so our hands are clean of this one.

Seasons greetings all you kaiju weirdos.  KES and Slick bring back the annual tradition, Kong Christmas.  This year we landed on Son of Kong, the 1933 follow up to King Kong...which also came out in 1933.  We stuck with it and for a whole one hour and nine minutes we watched this movie.  We go from NY to a port somewhere in the Pacific...or Atlantic...who knows!? And then to Skull Island, where we meet up with Kong's son or something, who knows!? Maybe they're not related and we've all been swerved, bro.  But take a listen to our sizzling hot takes on this classic.

We also evaluate Episode 5 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.  We follow Cate, Kentaro, and Maye as they continue to search for their father, this time taking the excursion to San Francisco, where Care is having some PTSD from G-Day. But are cracks in their foundation beginning to spread?  Hmmmm

As always we round out the episode with our purchases of kaiju stuff.  We also begin the episode with hot takes on the GxK The New Empire trailer that came out.  Godzilla is PINK, guys! (that's not sarcasm, that's approval)

THIS PODCAST HAS SPOILERS: KES and Slick headed to IMAX for the earliest showing we could get for the newest feature length Godzilla film from Toho, Minus One.  We have heard all sorts of takes on opinions of the movie but miraculously escaped most spoilers, except the toy one.  Set in post war Japan from 1945 - 1948 we follow the story of people who's lives and homes were ravaged by not only war, but a giant menacing beast from Odo Island.  This movie has unexpected plot devices, twists, stunning visuals, and will make you feel.  This description was pretty hard to write without explicitly spoiling anything.

But we aren't only talking about Minus One, we're also talking about the latest episodes from Monarch Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+.  Episodes 3 and 4 have been released.  Were they able to keep our expectations high from 1 and 2?

Finally we're talking figures and upcoming releases in this super sized episode.
