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!

DAIKAIJU DISCUSSION:
Our next film is Toho’s Godzilla X Megaguirus from 2000. This is a movie I haven’t seen in a little while. I believe I’ll pick up the BluRay from Sony and we’ll watch that version for the episode.
