We are joined again by Kevin Derendorf (Maser Patrol blog, Kaiju For Hipsters) to discuss two futuristic sci-fi spectacles that Toho produced in the 1980s. The first is Sayonara Jupiter, a futuristic space opera/disaster movie combo. The second is the 1989 dystopian mech film, Gunhed. We get into Sayonara Jupiter's long and troubled production history, Gunhed's genesis as a Godzilla script, manga adaptations and more! These films bolstered huge budgets and international casts, but they've earned a reputation as two of the worst Toho science fiction films of all time. Did we find that these movies lived up to their reputation? Listen and find out!
