‘Foodlosslla’ – Watch a New Kaiju Short Film from the Director of ‘Godzilla Minus One’!
The Godzilla films have dealt with themes including war, atomic bombs, and pollution over the years, but the director of Godzilla Minus One is now turning his attention to food waste.
Takashi Yamazaki has unleashed Foodlosslla this week, a brand new Kaiju created for a short advertisement calling attention to the horrors of food waste.
Foodlosslla is quite literally a giant monster made out of food waste, and he’s the new official spokes-monster for Japanese food and biotechnology corporation Ajinomoto.
The monster appears near Tokyo Tower in the 80-second commercial, a literal representation of “the grief of 2.4 million tons of annual household food waste.”
Meet Foodlosslla in the Kaiju-sized commercial below!
We’re thinking Godzilla would love to take a bite out of this guy…

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
