The final film in Godzilla’s showa era which lasted from 1952 to 1975 and is made up of fifteen movies. They include the original two films, the revival films that ends with Destroy All Monsters and is followed by the Champion series that starts with All Monsters Attack and ends with this film. Obviously, this was the […]
Known as Chikyū Bōeigun (Earth Defense Force) in Japan, The Mysterians is important to our kaiju studies as it contains the first appearance of Moguera, who would one day become M.O.G.U.E.R.A. (Mobile Operation Godzilla Universal Expert Robot Aero-type), who took over the role intended for Mechagodzilla in Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla. While the robot never was in a Godzilla […]
Banglar King Kong is how the filmmakers of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh see Kong and let me tell you, there is no way that American audiences are prepared for this. There are times within the film where footage looks thirty years old and as if it played numerous times in drive-ins through the southwest, with […]

For all the many, many movies that we’ve talked about in the last few days, there are some that we may never get to see. Here are three — beyond the two King Kong films we already talked about earlier, King Kong Appears in Edo and Wasei King Kong. Space Monster Wangmagwi: Made in South Korea in 1967, […]
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is gorgeous, with fully-realized and realistic versions of the monsters I grew up loving so much. However, the truth is, I was always more than happy with their look even when they were played by men in suits. Also, whenever I hear studios say things like how this movie “brings […]
