For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

It'll hook you in the first few minutes!

This week, Nicky and Wyatt take a look at the unassuming but outstanding Frankenstein Conquers The World, a clear highlight in the Toho monster catalogue for its incredible effects work and enthralling sci-fi story. Despite being adapted for the kaiju genre, "Conquers The World" still retains that essential Frankenstein core and it makes for one of the best films we've discussed to date. Hear more in-depth thoughts in this very episode!

And tune in next time for some fun in the sun... EBIRAH, HORROR OF THE DEEP.

THE FINAL SEASON BEGINS HERE. We're back and roaring out the gates with our first episode of SHIN Discuss All Monsters, our show on every OTHER Toho-associated kaiju film we can think of. First, we're diving into the Heisei era and there's no better way to begin than with the first Heisei Godzilla film. Does this new take on our favorite lizard live up to the original from 1954? Does it give us a radical new take? Or does it have a weird amount of worship for Prime Ministers and a weird over-extended production?

We also discuss some of our thoughts overall on this season and some of our favorite things we've covered this year. We're going to take a short break to prepare for our next season, so tune in next month as we begin to unleash our thoughts on the rest of Toho's kaiju films, as well as some odds and ends that YOU paid for as patrons!
