Frankie Freako (2024)
Steven Kostanski and the movies that he’s made with Astron-6 have always entertained me. Whether satirizing giallo with The Editor, making a perfect John Carpenter movie with The Void or creating 80s rental movies out of time like Psycho Goreman and Manborg, the movies that result are always great. Inspired by the movies that ripped off Gremlins like Ghoulies, The […]

RETURN OF KAIJU DAY: Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)
I’ve put off watching this for years — 28 of them! — because I knew how it would impact me. This is it. This is the end of Godzilla, as there’s no escape from death for any of us. The only question is whether it will come at the ends of the new and unstoppable […]
RETURN OF KAIJU DAY: Dogora (1964)
Giant Space Monster Dogora, directed by Ishiro Honda with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya, is a kaiju movie that I would have hated as a child. It’s mostly a cops and robbers movies about diamonds, then it’s all about scientists. Dogora only randomly shows up and it’s a floating jellyfish that seems like one of […]
