Summary
2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla is an award-winning podcast where Black film critics Aaron Neuwirth, a major Godzilla devotee, and Terence Johnson, Godzilla curious, work their way through the entire Godzilla franchise one film at a time. From the original 1954 Toho classic to the latest MonsterVerse entry, every episode brings two distinct perspectives, deep film knowledge, and the kind of honest, energizing conversation that only happens when one person cares deeply and the other is still deciding. Kaiju have never been analyzed this well!

  • Ep. 34 - The Host (2006), Big Man Japan (2007) & Cloverfield (2008)
    Oct 30 2026

    This week, Godzilla takes a backseat as the guys once again explore other kaiju films from the same era. On this episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence look at three films: 2006’s The Host, directed by Bong Joon-ho; 2007’s Big Man Japan, directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto; and 2008’s Cloverfield, directed by Matt Reeves. With clear admiration for what Kaiju cinema has to offer, each film approaches the monster, the human plots, and the ideas they're built on in its own way, much like the Godzilla films of this Millennium era. Learn which of these the duo admire most, and if they do a sufficient job of existing alongside the King of the Monsters. Enjoy!

    Oct 16 2026

    This week, Godzilla faces a prehistoric dragonfly and the Dimension Tide. On this episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, we look at a new monster and another ambitious sci-fi plot in 2000’s Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, directed by Masaaki Tezuka. This entry finds the guys asking a lot of questions regarding just how over-the-top it is to introduce black holes into this series. There’s plenty to say about what this Millennium-era entry does to stand out, what it adds to the series, and whether or not the King of the Monsters is good at squashing bugs. Enjoy!
