Welcome back, Troopers, for the epic conclusion of our coverage on the absolute cinematic masterpiece, Godzilla Minus One! An unstoppable, radioactive god of destruction has made landfall, turning his atomic wrath toward the heart of a defenseless Tokyo. With the government paralyzed and the US refusing to intervene, it is up to a ragtag civilian fleet and a deeply traumatized Koichi in a prototype fighter plane to mount one final, desperate stand against the King of the Monsters.

For those of you tuning in on your usual podcast feeds, we’ve got a special treat for you! To...

Welcome back, Troopers, for part one of our coverage on the absolute cinematic masterpiece, Godzilla Minus One! We’re following Koichi, a deeply traumatized kamikaze pilot, as he navigates crippling survivor's guilt in a fire-bombed Tokyo and accidentally builds a makeshift family just to stay afloat. But hope is a cruel joke when the US casually drops a nuke, mutating a local island dinosaur into an unstoppable, radioactive god of destruction heading straight for a defenseless Japan.

With the highly anticipated sequel on the horizon, join the squad as we dissect the soul-crushing emotional damage and giant mo...

From characters tragically falling into PS2-quality water to Friar Carl getting permanently stuck on AD-clear during the epic "Van-Hell-Wolf" finale, it's a wildly chaotic ride. Tune in to see if this glorious one-and-done monster mash survives our final squad ratings!

In this episode of Reel Jumpers, Nikki takes the lead to explore the origins of the Transformers toys and the lasting impact of the 1986 animated classic, Transformers: The Movie. The crew breaks down the franchise's evolution from Japanese toy molds into the film that traumatized a generation. Most importantly, the team takes time to honor the life and legacy of the late Peter Cullen, whose iconic voice as Optimus Prime created a noble, fatherly hero who taught millions to be strong enough to be gentle. Join us as we celebrate a cinematic milestone and say thank you to the...

Jumper Nikki has once again highjacked the command console and brought us along for a look at one of her favorite films. Listen to the crew discuss ludicrous power levels, questionable morals, and awesome old-school cell animation. Join us as we unpack the deep existential dread of a genetically engineered psychic cat with a serious god complex. We also highly recommend grabbing some tissues, because we're still not over the emotional trauma of Ash Ketchum's brief stint as a stone lawn ornament.

Gear up, Troopers, because this week your favorite elite squad at Reel Jumpers is dropping feet-first into the 1968 apocalyptic kaiju blowout, Destroy All Monsters!

You’d hope the Monster King's second Godzilla Island Adventure would be a step up, and honestly, it kind of is. The massive practical bug puppets are a fantastic piece of physical fabrication, the deep-cut lore is a huge surprise if you’re paying attention, and the ending actually manages to be genuinely sweet.

BUT DEAR GOD LOOK AT MINILLA'S FACE!!!!

Halo is dominating the conversation, and not always for the right reasons! Watch as our three resident Halo geeks officially abandon all hope for Kwan's storyline. Plus, the team absolutely loses their minds over the show's blatant disrespect for Master Chief's helmet rule!

This movie was a huge nothing burger with a side of lobster bisque, our host forced us to watch it anyway. He said something about how Godzilla is the best thing ever or something I'll be honest I stopped listening to him like hours ago.

Seafood and butter is recommended for enjoying this episode.

Grab your popcorn—this is a historic episode for two reasons!

First, we’re celebrating the fact that Reel Jumpers has been running for over a year! To mark this milestone, we’re taking on a film that changed the Godzilla universe forever: Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster!

Second, much like Ghidorah introduced a new chapter for Godzilla, we are launching a new chapter...

And yes, you better believe our favorite, eternally hilarious joke makes an appearance: The Elite Shoulder Checks the Chevy Tahoe!
