Today we cover the never-produced Tristar 1994 attempt at a Godzilla movie. While a much closer adaptation than what we eventually got with the Emmerich version, the film's production would be marred with massive technical hurdles and Son'y executives out to morph the project into something it was never meant to be.

Spike continues our monster themed month with this monstrous pile of shit, "Foodfight!"

With over 5 years in development hell, this is literally a movie created on the idea of using product placement as characters, Foodfight! sets the bar for horrible CGI garbage movie. Strap in, this one is fun.
