11.29.2010: What Does Godzilla Eat For Thanksgiving?
Godzilla, Gamera and an assortment of friends made up this year’s centerpiece at the Kaijucast Thanksgiving celebration!
You know what I am thankful for? I mean, other than the family/friends standard answer… I’m thankful for these amazing movies and that so many people are able to look past their flaws and suspension-of-disbelief requirement and focus on the fantastic stories and craftsmanship that these films employ. I’m also thankful for the fine, outstanding citizens of the world that listen to this show. And this month’s show (which is episode number twenty-three and available right here).
It seems that each episode I keep having to reel in the discussions in time for the show to come closer to it’s hour-ish long content. So because of that I’m considering a new format to the show – check out the poll to the right and let me know your thoughts. Martin Vavra was my guest again this month, and really, he just had some things he wanted to talk about regarding Godzilla films and it sounded like it could be a good episode. I was supposed to interview IDW Publishing about their upcoming Godzilla comic, but things got too busy and I sent the equipment to them too late. But that interview will happen for sure! In the meantime, however, here are the pieces of music that I chose for this month’s episode!
NOVEMBER TRACKS:
1. Showdown between the 3 Large Monsters in Okinawa 1 by Masaru Satoh from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
2. 1966 Assault – Japan Converts To Clean Energy by Michiru Oshima from Godzilla X Megauirus (2000)
3. Fateful Confrontation by Michiru Oshima from Godzilla X Megauirus (2000)
4. Godzilla! by The Creatures from the album Hai! (2003)
5. Mothra Metal by Isao Bito & The Peanuts from the album Mothra Song The Best (1998)
