The great Kaiju showdown of our time has arrived in Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla vs Kong, the fourth film and grand culmination in their ongoing ‘MonsterVerse,’ and to celebrate, we’re not just reviewing this movie – we’re also going back to Round 1 of this particular match-up, discussing the original Toho King Kong vs Godzilla from 1962! And that’s not all! We also dive into the other Legendary Pictures monster movies to recap our thoughts on the entire series, and we discuss the original Toho Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla for reasons that should be apparent to anyone who’s seen Godzilla vs Kong! It’s a grand old time talking about these wonderful monster icons, a chance to not only review this surprisingly great new movie, but to do the kind of big Kaiju celebration we haven’t done in a while on this podcast.

Enjoy, and listen to all our past Godzilla episodes as well if you’re interested!
