Live Commentary: Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1965)

08/17/15 • 94 min

Here it is, folks! The commentary that August Ragone and I recorded at G-Fest XXII is now available to download. So basically, I wanted to do something special and different for my favorite movie, Toho’s 1965 epic creation: Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (Kaiju Daisenso) . And during his last visit, well-known kaiju historian and author of Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters, August chatted with me about what we could do as a future collaboration. This is one of those crazy ideas we came up with and I am very glad that G-Fest accepted the panel. After a long day of prep and panelling at the convention, this was the last piece of the convention’s programming of the day. I was wiped out, but it was fantastic to sit down and talk about my favorite Godzilla film with my friend August.

Just a word of warning on the audio quality: I didn’t have the control I normally do; so the actual film audio is pretty loud. so you may have a little more trouble discerning between us and the film. Anyway, big thanks go out to August for agreeing to be part of this panel Hopefully it’s an entertaining listen!

And and one more word on the commentary itself. This was a much more laid back recording – I can pretty much guarantee that we’ll be revisiting Planet X with the Kaijucast crew in the future!

Guest Commentary: Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973)

Just a heads up for this long-overdue posting, you won’t hear your Kaijucast Crew on this commentary. A lot of people have contacted us after hearing this commentary mentioned on the podcast so I thought it was a good idea to post it since it’s been available on some back road channels since March of last year. If you’ve ever heard me speak to the virtues of Classic Media’s Godzilla Raids Again commentary, you’ll know why I felt that the Godzilla vs. Megalon commentary needed to be shared. The voices you’ll hear are the same and the results are even better. And if you want to know more about why this commentary was never included on the official releases, you might want to listen to episode 92 and 107 of the Kaijucast.
