99 Predator: Badlands REVIEW

Talking Toku ·

2025/11/14

Dan Trachtenberg has once again descended from movie heaven to grace the masses with yet another Predator film. Both Prey and Killer of Killers were both pretty excellent.; can the latest entry, Predator: Badlands, continue his streak of good Predator movies? Can lightning strike thrice? Or will David and Brian give up all hope on all things Predator until the end of time? The answer won't really surprise you all that much.00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:05:49 The Fall of Ultraman One-Shot from

98 Anaconda (1997) REVIEW

Talking Toku ·

2025/10/31

What better movie to cover for Talking Toku's Halloween special of 2025 than the greatest, scariest movie of all time... Luis Llosa's seminal late '90s creature feature, Anaconda! Likely the lightest "horror" movie the hosts have watched during spooky season, and certainly not one of the best, this prep work for the upcoming Paul Rudd/Jack Black reboot has David and Brian at their most unhinged.00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:04:29 Death of Godzilla00:10:57 Ishiro Honda: Memoirs of a

97 Alien: Earth REVIEW

Talking Toku ·

2025/10/03

After 2024's Alien: Romulus was a rather safe, middle-of-the-road return of the Alien franchise, critical darling Noah Hawley enters the ring with the IP's first long-form television series, Alien: Earth! Ridley Scott's early attempts at a prequel to the original film weren't exactly met with critical acclaim; has Hawley done what Scott, the director of the original Alien, could not? Is Alien finally back, like Predator before it? 00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:02:30 Kaiju Cleanup Trailer00:09:00 Tojima

Talking Toku ·

2025/08/05

Rounding off the coverage of the entire How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, David and Brian bring Naomi back into the fold to discuss the final entry in the trilogy. What once David regarded as a masterpiece swansong, shockingly hasn't aged as well as the first two. They will not cover the live action remake.00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:03:00 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla Announced00:09:31 Godzilla Mad Libs - King of the Monsters00:21:49 How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden

2025/07/11

The sands of time continue to blow on and on, and each grain takes us one step closer to a new Jurassic film. The latest? Gareth Edwards' standalone entry, Jurassic World Rebirth. The boys have been burned one too many times by this franchise... Can the director of the best American Godzilla film pull this floundering film series back from the depths of whatever hell spawned Jurassic World Dominion? The answer is... Sort of? What on earth could that mean?!00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:02:34 Jurassic

See what happens when the boys take a week off from the show? Everything falls apart. The looming threat of reviewing Ready Player One finally comes to call, so without anything better to do, David and Brian suffer through all two and a half hours of it, and subsequently lose their minds in the process.00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:04:36 New Godzilla Ride from Takashi Yamazaki00:09:15 Godzilla x Kong: Supernova00:14:27 Mothra and the Luminous Fairies Translation from Jeffrey Angles00:19:59 Godzilla 70th

2025/04/18

The penultimate season of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory has arrived, and who better to cover it than the self-proclaimed biggest Camp Cretaceous/Chaos Theory fans? As the series crosses over further and further with the mainline films, does it do anything to redeem the travesty that is Jurassic World Dominion? Or does it surpass the movies themselves to become the reigning champion of the World series?00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:03:36 Primitive War First Trailer00:13:44 Kamen Rider Global Account

Talking Toku ·

2025/04/04

Talking Toku is once again reminded of the unceasing march of time with the realization that Gareth Edwards' feature-length debut, Monsters, celebrates its 15th anniversary. As the boys revisit the film for the first time since before the release of Godzilla (2014), does the film still hold up? Are its themes still relevant in today's political climate? David and Brian, as always, have all the answers.00:00:00 Intro/Banter00:06:57 GxK 3 Working Title00:11:22 Kaiju No. 8 S2

Talking Toku ·

2025/01/28

Talking Toku is BACK, and kicking off 2025 with Universal Studios' latest attempt at bringing their cast of classic monsters to the big screen, Wolf Man! How does it hold up? Does Leigh Whannell keep up the good work after his excellent take on The Invisible Man? Does it even come close to touching either of the last two takes on the Wolf Man? The answer to most of the questions is no!00:00:00 Intro/Banter 00:05:02 Ultraman Arc: The Movie - The Clash of Light and Evil Trailer

Opinions change over time! It's just a fact of life, and this show is no exception. Brian and David take some time to talk about some of the movies they used to like and now dislike, or vice versa.

Talking Toku ·

2024/11/29

In the wake of the live action adaptation's trailer being released to the public, David finally peer pressures Brian into starting one of his favorite animated trilogies of all time, How to Train Your Dragon! How does the first film in the franchise hold up after almost 15 years? Does Dean DeBlois' live action version seem like it will be worth watching? Not in the least! But the original is still delightful.00:00:00 Intro/Banter 00:04:00 Godzilla in Fortnite 00:08:37 Hiya Toys Price
