We turn our sights on another new studio trying to make a splash on the Kaiju scene, this week with the Nikkatsu Corporation. Will a retread of 1961's Gorgo succeed in Japan's saturated busiest daikaiju year to date?

We prepare to dive into a non-Toho giant monster movie, this time from rival studio Shochiku. Will a swinging space adventure mixed into a kaiju movie work well or will this be film flop?

Noriaki Yuasa is back in the director's chair for the latest installment of the showa Gamera films, and this time the flying terrapin is becoming the friend of all children.

This week's episode is 1967's "Gamera vs. Gyaos"
