Radio Free Godzilla

Well, it's another end of an era, as the gang finishes out the Gamera Showa era with a bang, discussing the Final Wars of Gamera films, the worst (best?) of the bunch, 1980's low-budget effort to revive the franchise in Gamera Super Monster!

It's the home stretch of the Gamera Showa era, and our hosts are feeling it! How much more can they suffer through? Will the inclusion of Kamogawa Sea World shows be enough to save Lee, Chris and Heather from utter boredom? Find out in this week's coverage of 1971's Gamera vs Zigra!

A question for the listeners: Who would win? One Jiger-sized vacuum? Or 850,000 vacuum-sized Jigers? This is the question at the front of our hosts' minds this week as they talk about the debut of Daiei's first female kaiju and advertisements for Expo 70 in 1970's Gamera vs Jiger!

This week, Gamera heads to space!!

Lee, Chris, and Heather discuss the important messages about outer space at the core of this film, with a plot centered on brain-eating space women and their knife-headed kaiju pet. Parental neglect is once again at the forefront of the narrative, but perhaps we can all learn something from 1969's Gamera vs Guiron!

Squids! Boy Scouts! Bankruptcy! 

It's Gamera vs the aliens, and your hosts vs stock footage in the film that went on to define Gamera as the friend of all children,  despite Daiei's financial struggles kneecapping it all the while. This is the film that's roughly 30% stock footage, 1968's Gamera vs Viras!

In a shocking turnaround from last week, Lee, Chris and Heather all have heaps of praise for Gamera's second outing, this time facing his first monster foe in the icy lizard Barugon (not to be confused with Baragon), who has rolled in on a rainbow just in time for Pride Month! This is 1966's Gamera vs Barugon!

The gang loses their minds as they struggle to make it through their discussion of  the debut of everyone's beloved giant turtle in 1965's Gamera, the Giant Monster.

Apologies to our Australian listeners: 

It's the end of the Toho Showa Era once again, and it's ending with a bang. 

In the silliest bit of antics yet, Lee, Chris and Heather discuss ridiculous accents, ridiculous impressions, ridiculous kaiju, and ridiculous human drama in Ishiro Honda's final contracted film for Toho, the sci-fi epic, 1970's Space Amoeba!
