On May 25th, my good friend, Brett Homenick and I interviewed Garry Chalk for his various works on voice acting and live action film roles. Including his involvement in Godzilla 2014 (playing Janjira plant employee, Stan Wash). Chalk has appeared in hundreds of film and television productions, most notably voicing Optimus Primal in Beast Wars: Transformers, along with roles in The Fly II, 21 Jump Street, MacGyver, Stargate SG-1, Watchmen and many other productions. We weren’t able to cover all of his impressive filmography due to limited time, but we had a very fun conversation and Garry had nothing but great memories to share.

Following its reveal just last week, we are honored to sit down with Jaeho Hwang, Head of Mintrocket and Director of Godzilla Defense Force: X, to discuss the upcoming mobile title.

I would like to sincerely thank Hwang for taking the time to share these insights with us.

With that said, let’s begin this interview, which was conducted asynchronously. (more…)

While most fans know Mothra for her role in the Godzilla franchise and Ishiro Honda‘s 1961 film, far fewer are aware of the rich literary roots that shaped the character long before she ever took flight on screen. In this interview, we speak with Jeffrey Angles, translator of works such as The Luminous Fairies and Mothra and a professor of Japanese language and literature at Western Michigan University. Our conversation explores his early fascination with kaiju cinema, the political and cultural ideas behind Mothra’s creation, the challenges of translating a text written by three authors and the deeper significance of one of Toho’s most iconic monsters.

On July 21st, 2025, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with director Gareth Edwards, known for his work on Godzilla (2014), the recent Jurassic World Rebirth, and more. Originally, the plan was to ask him just a couple of quick questions about Godzilla before diving into Jurassic World Rebirth. However, once we started talking about the King of the Monsters, the conversation naturally kept drifting back to that film. It turned into a much more Godzilla-focused discussion than expected, and I think fans of the franchise will really enjoy the insights Gareth shares.

Just a quick heads-up: there are a few moments where Gareth’s WiFi cuts in and out, but I’ve done some light editing to smooth out the flow for clarity. (more…)
