Episode 23 - Godzilla vs Hedorah / Godzilla vs the Smog Monster (1971)

02/22/23 • 66 min
A first-time director was handed a miniscule budget and told to make a Godzilla movie in a month. The result is predictably messy, but would go on to be a cult classic regardless. Despite being ostensibly a family movie, we think we probably weren't supposed to watch this one sober.
We're joined this week by friend and fellow SDGC host Brittney aka Peachia. This was her first Godzilla movie ever. It's possible we owe her a better first experience than this one.

Episode 22 - Space Amoeba / Yog, Monster from Space (1970)
Dang y'all who's ready for a downer episode? Honda made a movie that should have ranked among his finest if it wasn't just a little bit off, devoid of the love and passion normally found in these movies. Turns out making movies is hard when your workplace is falling apart and one of your closest collaborators dies right as you start making it.

Episode 24 - Godzilla vs Gigan (1972)
Director Jun Fukuda is back with a vengeance and putting on his best Honda impersonation in this alien invasion story, bringing back Godzilla's most famous nemesis (King Ghidorah) and introducing a new monster that would go on to be one of the fandom's all time favorites. The 70s are here, and Fukuda knows how to party.
We're joined this week by Josh Fagundes (aka Anoriand), a creator with more talents and passions than we have time to list. It's probably easier to just follow him.
