Episode 281

It’s Toho week! After last week’s look at Godzilla Minus One, we realized that we’ve been lax in our old-Godzilla coverage. So this week, we’ll continue that series with six movies from that period, in order!

We’ll start with the original “Mothra” from 1961, move on to “Mothra vs. Godzilla” from 1964, team up in the all-out battle against “Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster,” also from 1964. Then we’ll travel to Planet X with “Invasion of Astro Monster,” better known in the States as “Godzilla vs. Monster Zero.”

The weekly newsletter this time around has two more:

• “Ebirah, Horror of the Deep” from 1966
• “War of the Gargantuas” from 1966

How are you feeling? It could be time to visit a caring health professional, and we’ve picked out a few that we’d be happy to prescribe! We’ll start out with the hilarious “Dr. Giggles” from 1992 and “The Dentist” from 1996. We’ll watch a short about a girl who needs a dermatologist, and then we’ll do some body mods with “American Mary” (2012). Finally, we’ll look at the 1996 version of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” and see if it’s as bad as they say.

Episode 276

It must be Spring– there’s no new horror this week. Instead, we’ll take a look at some more oldies. We’ll start with the seventh Saw movie, “Saw 3D: The Final Chapter.” It wasn’t in 3D for us, and it wasn’t the final chapter, but that’s the way things go sometimes. We’ll stop in on Johnny Depp and Tim Burton with 2012’s “Dark Shadows” spoof. Then we’ll watch a contender for Worst Movie of All Time with “Dead Sea.” As a palette cleanser, we’ll watch the stalker movie “Cold Creek Manor.”

The weekly newsletter this time around has two more oldies. Neither of these films are horror, but both star Peter Lorre, the subject of this week’s free biography:

• “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1932 ) Hitchcock!
• “The Maltese Falcon” (1941) Bogart!

Those two can be found at http://horrorbulletin.com
