Destroy All Monsters (1968)/Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971)

Hello friends! Today we are joined by Harrison to discuss two more Godzilla movies, Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla vs Hedorah. We discuss how Destroy All Monsters was the sort of the end of an era and how lazy the aliens are in it. And we try to make sense of the most weird of all Godzilla movies. We try to understand Godzilla vs Hedorah’s environmental message, as well as why it was delivered in such a strange form.

Rodan (1956) and Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)

Welcome to another Toho double feature! This time we are talking Rodan and Ghidorah! And we have special guests Harrison and April on the podcast to help us break down all the wacky shenanigans. We marvel at the technical skill of the movies, and try to make sense of the human storylines (which is not possible).

Mothra (1961) and Mothra vs Godzilla (1964)

Hello and welcome to Dead Times! Today we are doing a Toho double feature with my good friend Harrison! We are discussing Mothra (1961) and Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964). We puzzle out the complicated backstory of Mothra’s fairies, say the name “Chujo” a lot, and try to get to the bottom of whether Mothra is a strong female character.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) Godzilla: Tokyo SOS (2003)

Welcome to Dead Times’s salute to Mechagodzilla! We are joined by Harrison again to discuss Godzilla’s giant robot adversary. And spend a lot of time puzzling out why anyone would make a giant robot Godzilla. We also have a fun conversation about potential Avatar sequels and wonder just what is the deal with those fairies?
