Heads roll (12 to be exact!) in this must-see monster movie about a rampaging mutant lizard in Chicago's Field Museum. It's a throwback creature feature with some premo Tommy Wiseau-level acting, dubious '90s CGI, medulla oblongatas, and more. Along the way we discuss A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, killer machine movies, Megalopolis, and get a call on the Kaiju Hotline. Then, Peter Lorre reviews Metropolis with Pierre and a bucket of fish heads.
