Kaiju Weekly News

#JusticeForBaragon

On this episode of Kaiju Weekly, Travis and Michael wrap up the final episode of Godzilla Month 2020 with the news of the week, and one of the most popular films within the Giant Monster Fandom, 2001's Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! (Shew what a mouth full). Travis also tries to convince Michael that Clifford the Big Red Dog is a Kaiju. Did cooler heads prevail? You be the judge.

-----------------------------------------------

While Japan continues to struggle with remembering the sins of it's past, three ancient guardian beasts (Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah) awaken to protect their homeland from an overpowered and bloodthirsty monster, Godzilla.

OH BOY! We turned the Wayback Machine, ALL THE WAY BACK for this one, literally. We thought it would be fun to let you hear just how far we've come since the early days of the podcast. So here it is, the very first episode of Kaiju Weekly featuring Travis and then co-host, Jake to discuss Godzilla 2014! Hope you guys enjoy this little stomp down memory lane.

-----------------------------------------------

PLOT: GODZILLA 2014

Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a Navy bomb expert, has just reunited with his family in San Francisco when he is forced to go to Japan to help his estranged father, Joe (Bryan Cranston). Soon, both men are swept up in an escalating crisis when Godzilla, King of the Monsters, arises from the sea to combat malevolent adversaries that threaten the survival of humanity. The creatures leave colossal destruction in their wake, as they make their way toward their final battleground: San Francisco.

On this episode of Kaiju Weekly, we welcome back friends of the podcast, Elijah Thomas of the Kaiju Conversations Podcast, and Nathan Marchand of the Monster Island Film Vault Podcast to discuss the final film in the Shōwa Godzilla Series, Terror of Mechagodzilla!

-----------------------------------------------

PLOT:

Both the final entry in the original Showa series of Godzilla films and the last entry helmed by original Godzilla director Ishiro Honda, Terror of Mechagodzilla picks up directly after Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, with INTERPOL searching for the wreckage of Mechagodzilla. Rather than any remains, they find the colossal dinosaur Titanosaurus, which destroys their submarine. Marine biologist Akira Ichinose works alongside INTERPOL agent Jiro Murakoshi to uncover the mystery around Titanosaurus and the disgraced scientist who discovered him, Shinzo Mafune. Unbeknownst to them, Mafune has aligned himself with the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens, offering them the services of Titanosaurus, who is under his control, and helping to repair Mechagodzilla. When both the rebuilt Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus are unleashed in Tokyo by the aliens, Godzilla faces an uphill battle against two powerful foes, and humanity must find a way to help even the odds.

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound

He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train

Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say, he's got to go

Go go Godzilla, yeah

Oh no, there goes Tokyo

Go go Godzilla, yeah!

During this week's episode our hosts, Travis and Michael, take a deep dive into one of the films that made the late, great, Ray Harryhausen and household name, the 1958 fantasy adventure epic, 7th Voyage of Sinbad!

-----------------------------------------------

PLOT:

Sailing to Baghdad after a narrow escape from the monster island of Colossa, the wedding plans of legendary hero Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) and Princess Parisa (Kathryn Grant) are spoiled by the scheming sorcerer Sokurah (Torin Thatcher). In return for his previous help with the cyclops on Colossa, Sokurah demands that Sinbad retrieve a lamp he lost on the island. When Sinbad refuses, the conjurer shrinks Parisa, forcing the sailor and his crew back to the high seas in order to save her.

On this week's episode, Travis welcomes friend of the podcast Danny DiManna, creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project to discuss the 1957, creepy crawler classic, The Black Scorpion.

-----------------------------------------------

PLOT:

After a volcano erupts south of the border, people and animals begin inexplicably dying. Earth scientists Hank (Richard Denning) and Arturo (Carlos Rivas) travel to the small town of San Lorenzo, Mexico to investigate. They soon discover that the eruption cracked open an underground cave that contained hordes of giant prehistoric insects, including the scorpions that have been responsible for the killings. Soon, Hank and Arturo come up with a plan to take these monsters down once and for all.
