Guilala-Land: A Review of The X from Outer Space & Monster X Strikes Back

YHS on Monster Island - Godzilla, Kaiju, & Tokusatsu!

This episode of YHS on Monster Island is brought to you by the letter "X".

"The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and his sidekick, Jay Key, tackle not one - but two- kaiju flicks from Shochiku: 1967's The X from Outer Space and 2008's follow-up, Monster X Strikes Back: Attack the G8 Summit. If you aren't already familiar with these films - hold on tight - because they offer a little bit of everything, from truly original kaiju design to moon dancing to famous cameos to Kim Jong-Il. Most notably, it demonstrates two very unique ways that kaiju can stop deadly missiles. So grab a cocktail, check for any Guilalanium, put on your headphones (make sure they aren't the brainwashing kind), and start chanting "Neci-Coma" - because YHS on Monster Island is taking you to GuiLALA-Land!

In addition to reviewing these two movies, Jake and Jay discuss some big news items such as Apple TV+'s upcoming Monsterverse series, a new Marusan 350 BioGoji, and SH Monster Arts' Singular Point Rodan! Oh, and is there a new Guilala toy? Now that's timing. And don't forget weekly pick-ups!
