Charles Eubanks - Kaiju
When I think of gigantic, overgrown creatures, I don't need to look much further than my own dear cat Thaddeus. If he were to emerge from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, he would not need to travel far to find his favorite dish. And he would not be much larger than he already is.
K. Marie Criddle - Kaiju
Honest, I don't have much experience with kaiju and I'm not sure what object he might be based on (except perhaps the unholy union of a sumo wrestler and an angry unicorn) buuuuuut...for scale, that's King Kong on his horn.

Adam Heine - Kaiju
Sometimes these two forget they're supposed to be fighting and they dance instead. It's . . . awkward for everyone.
If you would like to vote for Godzilla and Ghidorah, you can dial 1-888-TEMPO-06. That's 1-888-TEMPO-06. Voting will be open for two hours after the show.

Topic for 1/15 to 1/28
We're back!
This week we're going to tackle a topic near and dear to my heart.
KAIJU
What the heck is a kaiju? Well, technically it's just the Japanese word for monster (which we've done), but in English this word has come to mean a very specific kind of monster, the kind that grows to enormous size and goes on a meaningless rampage through human cities. Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera, King Ghidorah, and America's own King Kong all fall under this banner.
If you need inspiration, I found this note in the Wikipedia article particularly enlightening: "Kaiju are typically modeled after conventional animals, insects or mythological creatures; however, there are more exotic examples. Chōjin Sentai Jetman features monsters based on traffic lights, faucets and tomatoes; Kamen Rider Super-1 includes a whole army of monsters based on household objects such as umbrellas and utility ladders."
So let's wreck some major metropolitan areas!
[Charles, you've got the next topic, on or around 1/28.]
