So I'm looking for opinions on what people think must be done to beat zilla nids.

I play podding BA and have only played against zilla nids once and it was a disaster.

To me it just seems like the crushing weight of 5 fexes is too much to handle for a podding army...thoughts?

Yeha, podding BA against 'zilla nids seems like it would be a disaster. Pods just don't work to BA strengths, and blood angels don't have the traits to be really effective with Pods.
Blood angels can't put out the firepower from pods to take down the bugs, and then they'll assault you, taking away the furious charge that makes BA so devastating.
Have you considered changing either to a standard BA list, or turning it into a trait marine list?
If not, the death company, with a few power fists, can make bio-mass out of a big bug a turn. Use blood angels strengths, like the Baal Predator and assault squads.
Or, use Furioso dreadnaughts in pods. Moriar the chosen has enough attacks that he might lucky and take out a fex before it can strike. Mmmm...Moriar in a drop pod.

actually I think podding BA takes advatnage of alot of the BA strengths and I think my record with the army proves my point. However against zilla nids I have a quandry...but I guess I'll figure it out
