Time for kaiju absurdity to truly shine! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence Johnson look at the famed 1973 camptastic entry Godzilla vs. Megalon, from director Jun Fukuda. Based on distribution rights, this feature became one of the more well-known kaiju films in the U.S., and plenty of gif-related silliness can be found to have originated here. Listen to what the guys thought of this film, how it compares to other Fukuda entries, the joy that is Jet Jagur, thoughts on the climactic battle, and other curiosities such as the various “friendships” depicted. Enjoy and punch, punch, punch!

The claws really come out for this one! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence Johnson tackle the 1972 kaiju brawler entry Godzilla vs. Gigan, from director Jun Fukuda. While things have gotten more family-friendly over the years, this is our bloodiest entry yet, despite primarily being set at a children’s theme park (featuring the legendary Godzilla Tower). Hear what the guys thought about this entry, including the Gigan design, the return of fan favorites Anguirus and King Ghidorah, the ample use of stock footage, and where this film sits in relation to the rest of the series so far.

Time to talk pollution, by way of a kaiju movie!

Given the significant shift in style, the film has always been an oddball, praised by some and ignored by others. Having Terence see it for the first time, the guys certainly had big thoughts to get into about how this film could have broken him, what Aaron thinks about the gory destruction on display, and a discussion regarding the legacy of the movie’s director, Banno. Enjoy!

Plus favorite moments, continued thoughts on Minilla, and more. Enjoy!
