Kaiju Unleashed: An Illustrated Guide to the World of Strange Beasts by Shawn Pryor • An Interview Special

Author Shawn Pryor joins us to discuss his new book, and whaddyaknow, he loves talkin' monster movies as much as we do! We get REAL nerdy on this one. Ever hear of the tokusatsu show, VR Troopers? Well, you will. That’s just one example of the rich kaiju legacy in film, comics, toys, video games, and more. Thank you for joining us as we share our passion for Godzilla and all his friends (even Reptilicus gets some love!). As Shawn says, "there's a Godzilla for everyone". Ain't it the truth.
