Castle Bravo: A Godzillaverse Retrospective

It's the finale of Season One, and we're here with a movie that defined a franchise and gave us Godzilla's first turn from villain to hero. If King Kong vs Godzilla introduced the giant monster wrestling match, and Mothra vs Godzilla set the tone, then it's Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster that finalized the formula that would define the series for the next 20 years.

Episode 12 - Dogora (1964)

This week features a slight cooldown between major Godzilla movies with the mixed-est bag of all time. Two part diamond heist mystery, one part giant monster movie, all fever dream, It's hard to call Dogora a cohesive vision. However, there's a lot of diamond in this rough, with memorable scenes and characters and a couple of the greatest shots of Honda's career so far. Dogora may have been made in the short downtime between two major projects, but it still has a lot of charm put into it.

Episode 14 - Frankenstein vs Baragon / Frankenstein Conquers the World (1965)

We're back, but Godzilla's not (yet)! Castle Bravo returns for Season Two, opening up with cult classic pulp scifi movie Frankenstein vs Baragon, also known as Frankenstein Conquers the World. It's a concept Toho had been trying to get off the ground for years, and it... doesn't hold up that well. Not a great start for the Dream Team this season. Get ready for the death of ideology.
