11.30.2018: Godzilla vs. Megalon Daikaiju Re-Discussion

Clancy and Kyle break down (or perhaps are broken down by?) Godzilla vs Megalon (1973) We are back in the 1970s, man! And we’re taking another look at another film that might not have gotten a fair shake the last time around, we’re talking about 1973’s Godzilla vs. Megalon on this episode of the podcast. We originally covered this in episode 30, and I know I did not give this film enough attention at the time, so hopefully this episode rectifies this from our prior discussion. Since we originally covered this, the commentary by Stuart Galbraith and Steve Ryfle was kind of released and then definitely added the the commentaries feed. Godzilla vs. Megalon is a fan favorite for many, many people – but the movie’s history and the history of that history is really intriguing if you’re into behind-the-scenes stuff. Big thanks to Clancy for coming over to watch this giant monster gem with me – and thanks to the listeners for sending in their homework MEGALONIC MUSIC: 1.
