How We Define "Kaiju" & Is The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man a Kaiju?

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

The one question that has plagued humankind for far too long isn't "what is the meaning of life?" or "does anything really matter"...oh no...it's simply "is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man a kaiju?". Our hosts attempt to answer that very question - but first, they must lay some groundwork on how they define "kaiju" and how do those rules apply to not just Stay Puft but also creatures such as Mighty Joe Young, the graboids from Tremors, Alien Baltan, werewolves, rampaging dinosaurs that have survived to live in our time, and many more! It's about as nerdy of a conversation as you're going to find - and who better to discuss it than the "Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" and Ghostbusters expert Jacob Walsh and the "Mayor of Toku Toy Town" Jay Key?

In addition to the big question at hand, the duo review recent toy news - ranging from XM Studios jaw-dropping Shin Godzilla and GMKGoji busts to Medicom announcing a Kilaaks set for an upcoming lottery to Tako Kong - and their recent pick-ups. It's a wild ride so make sure you soma berry cocktails are refreshed and enjoy YHS on Monster Island!
