Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) feat. Max Hannam

1 hour 27 minutes

Godzilla and Robot Man - sorry, Jet Jaguar - battle the dastardly Megalon and psychopathic Gigan. Along the way, we meet fashion icon Robert Dunham and wonder if Goro and Jinkawa are more than friends. Plus, what do Ultraman and John Belushi have to do with this film? Then enjoy Peter Lorre's review of The Unknown (1927) starring Lon Chaney.

All that and more as we discuss the campiest Godzilla movie this side of Seatopia. Thanks for listening, friends.
