24: Why Are the Aliens Always on Speed Dial (Godzilla vs. Megalon, 1973)


Listen Later

We dive into Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973), a chaotic Showa-era entry packed with underground kingdoms, alien conspiracies, and one of the strangest hero team-ups in the franchise. We talk about Jet Jaguar’s debut, the thin-but-fun plot, martial-arts-heavy monster fights, and how recycled footage, low budgets, and wild suit choices shaped the film’s tone. Along the way, we highlight production shortcuts, early Hollow Earth ideas, cult-favorite moments, and why this movie somehow became more popular in the U.S. than in Japan.
