    About this Episode

    Natural disasters are well-known for not being especially cinematic, so Hollywood has had to ignore scientific fact in order to create a spectacle. But what if in the world of disaster movies, from Dante's Peak to 2012 and beyond, kaiju were responsible for each and every eruption, tremor and landslide? Is Rodan secretly huffing pyroclastic flow for recreational purposes? Did Godzilla cause the Poseidon Adventure just by swimming under the boat? Is Ghidorah creating tornadoes full of sharks to get an exciting snack? 

    The answer is, as usual, no. But we're going to speculate on it anyway!

    S2 Episode Four: The Highly Inappropriate World of Charmkins

    This episode sees us trying to make sense of the beautifully animated but uncomfortably subtexted Charmkins OVA, made to promote the short-lived Charmkins toy line. Did the people making this cartoon genuinely not realize how much innuendo made it into the finished product? Or was this a deliberate attempt to tank the franchise a la The Producers?
