Kaiju Cocktails

One thing I enjoy doing when having a drink is posing my various kaiju and action figures next to the beverage of choice and snapping a photo. Here are some of them that I’ve taken over the last 3 years or so.


Sake. There’s a Japanese supermarket close to me called Mitsuwa Marketplace that sells all varieties of sake. I have a preference for the sparkling, flavored ones (Lychee being a personal favorite).








Here’s Ultraman enjoying sake bombs with shishito peppers and spicy mayo.


My other liquor of choice is a good tequila. Shots, margaritas or various tequila drinks are all good.




This drink was made with tequila, soda water, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and mint leaves. Sorta like a mojito, without the rum.


A new favorite called the Vampiro (vampire). 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz tomato juice, 1 oz orange juice, 1/2 oz grenadine, 2 oz tequila, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a few dashes of hot sauce. Give it a mix, pour it into an iced glass. It also tastes good with Tajin on the rim of the glass.



And finally, a refreshing white homemade Sangria, with various cut up fruit. I like to mix either some Chardonnay or Rosé, with some triple sec and peach schnapps.



Cheers and drink responsibly! 🍺🥂🍹🍸🍻

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...
