Hosted by Vincent Hannam © 2026 Vincent S. Hannam, All Rights Reserved. KAIJU HAIKU OVERVIEW Japan is the land of giant monsters and tiny poems. Kaiju Haiku fuses these two cultural forces into one stunning full-color explosion! Remember the awe of discovering giant monster movies as a child? Imagine recapturing that magic. Experience the wonder one more time through stunning haiku set to surreal abstract comic book art. Each poem is a small exploration of kaiju cinema. A burst of nostalgia. A pop of insight. Lurking below the surface, they are also an invitation to slow down, to look twice. Mirrors disguised as windows. What will you see looking back at you? Then, like a burst of the fireball from outer space the vivid kaleidoscopic comic art of Jason McBride explodes onto each page – transporting you to parts unknown. Kaiju Haiku is an art museum that fits into your pocket. A traveling companion. Reach for it anytime the ordinary becomes a little too ordinary. The giant monsters are waiting.

Aliens possess the world's machines, sending a convoy of trucks to terrorize a band of gas station dumb dumbs. With music by AC/DC and direction by Stephen King, what could go wrong?

The Martians are here and they're out for blood. Or rather, your complete and utter vaporization from the face of the earth. Run to the hills as these invaders withstand everything from A-bombs to bibles. Is there nothing that can stop them? We discuss this and more: special effects wizardry, Cold War thematic underpinnings, its legacy ( Mars Attacks and Independence Day anyone?) and the legacy of H.G. Wells' original novel that continues to challenge our notions of war and conquest. Ah, just a little lighthearted conversation you know? But thank you all for listening!

All hell breaks loose when a young woman is possessed by a demon; with help from her lover and a hunchback, Alucarda takes on the Church and burns any nun who stands in her way. Sounds pretty good, right? And if you don't mind a little torture and full-frontal nudity, then we think you'll have a helluva time. But tbh, Alucarda offers much to consider: systemic oppression, the value of foreign films, and the line between artistry and exploitation. And did you know Alucarda spelled backwards is "a Dracula"?

An African prince is cursed to eternal bloodsucking, cape-twirling, and sideburn upkeep in this groovy spin on the Dracula tale. With vampires galore and wicked special effects, there's plenty to sink your teeth into; and then... stereotypes creakier than an 18th century Transylvanian coffin. We explore this and more: the 1970s Black cinema movement - dubbed Blaxploitation - and its complicated legacy, onset racial tensions, and whether or not Mamuwalde had any other choice but to throw those barrels.
