01.27.2016: Gamera 3 Revenge of Iris Daikaiju Discussion

Kyle, Bryan, Dave and Rachel awaken the guardian beast and cover Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999)! It’s no secret that I used to run the Shrine of Gamera back in the day, so I have no qualms with sharing my love for what I consider to still be one of the best kaiju movies EVAHR (sorry, that was for Cameron). I’m constantly preaching the word of Gamera to the masses and if you don’t have this holy trilogy, it’s available at very, very reasonable pricing…. so get on that! Seriously. Bryan, Rachel and Dave came over to watch and review Gamera III and, as I’m sure everyone expected, we all had a blast during the screening (and the recording). We hope you dig it too. Now, we don’t cover any news in this episode, just those events coming up which includes the conventions and our rapidly approaching Emergency Broadcast — please don’t miss that one, folks!
