08.29.2014: Godzilla vs. Monster Zero Daikaiju Discussion

Kyle, Rachel and Bryan execute plan 2 of item 4 schedule 5 in this discussion of Godzilla vs. Monster Zero! This month, we are tackling my favorite kaiju film and what I consider to be a high point of the entire Godzilla series, Kaiju Daisenso aka Invasion of Astro Monster aka Monster Zero aka Godzilla vs. Monster Zero! And for those of you listeners that love a long episode, this one’s for you. Actually, I’m pretty impressed that with all of the content in this episode, we “only” have a two hour show. As much as I could have continued to wax poetic about the Xians, Nick Adams, Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorah – it just seemed like a good idea to cut things off at a certain time (we’ll have to save it for an upcoming commentary). Make sure to stay tuned after the discussion; we have a great round of Pickled Ginger, a bunch of news, and of course, some music! MONSTROUS MUSICAL MEMES: 1. Battle by Cha Cha Maru from Godzilla vs. Heavy Metal (1998) 2. Ultraman Leo Main Theme by Makoto Kawaguchi from Ultraman Leo (1974) 3. Monster Zero US Trailer Audio (1970) 4.
