Godzilla is in his tired dad era, because he's got a new ugly baby to take care of! Zakzilla joins us to meet Godzilla's firstborn son in this chill and mellow island adventure, even amongst all the GIANT BUGS created by stellar marionette effects. We talk about the strangely sinister science experiment story in an otherwise comedic movie, along with Minilla/Minya as queer representation, Butterface Godzilla, Kumonga's uncomfortable mouth, and more!Cover Art by: UltraMellowArtInstagram | Twitter | Bluesky Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveCover Art Gallery | Patreon | DiscordEmail: skreeonkpodcast@gmail.comTheme song: "BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer KaijuSources include: "Coming Out" - a stop motion short about a trans kid by Cressa Maeve ÁineJapan's Favorite Mon-Star: The Unauthorized Biography of "The Big G" by Steve RyfleA Critical History and Filmography of Toho's Godzilla Series by David KalatIshirō Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa by by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiGodzilla FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the King of the Monsters by Brian SolomonThe Big Book of Japanese Giant Monster Movies: The Lost Films by John LeMay and Ted JohnsonThe Complete Godzilla Chronology 1954-2004 by August Ragone and Bob EggletonWikizilla
S3E4 Kaiju Unite w/ Son of Godzilla (1967) and Destroy All Monsters (1968) With GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE upon us, we salute the Big G himself, GODZILLA, with a pair of his movies made a year apart from each other, that show his tremendous range. First, the radioactive mutant dinosaur tackles family comedy in SON OF GODZILLA (1967), the "Courtship of Eddie's Father" of kaiju movies. But unlike so many movie and TV single dads, Godzilla has to rear young Minya while battling overgrown mantises and a freaky-assed spider called Kumonga. I'd like to see Dustin Hoffman do that in "Kramer vs. Kramer!" Then, Godzilla shows his serious side in the greatest monster mash of them all, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS! All the kaiju are here--Godzilla! Rodan! Mother! Gorosaurus! Anguirus! Ghidorah!--and they are smashing cities! This was supposed to be the final Godzilla film, so GOJIRA (1954) director and OMFYS GOAT Ishiro Honda directs it with a poignant tone. Movie and TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz was booked for this episode but he had to reschedule. We hope to have him back soon. Greg Franklin and Philena Franklin also couldn't make it so it's just Bob and Cory this time, and they still managed to gab for over an hour. AMAZING! Besides the Kaiju Classics, Bob and Cory discuss the new remake of ROAD HOUSE with Jake Gyllenhaal. One host is Yeh, and the other is Meh on Prime's big streaming release, so it's like Siskel and Ebert for people who smoked too much Super Silver Haze. They also talk about the Netflix documentary AMERICAN CONSPIRACY: THE OCTOPUS MURDERS and what to see THIS SATURDAY at Noir City Hollywood. There's something for everyone here. SON OF GODZILLA and DESTROY ALL MONSTERS are streaming on Criterion Channel, Max, Tubi, and the Pluto Godzilla channel.

When weather experiments go awry on a Pacific island, the team there soon find themselves surrounded by monsters great and small, including Godzilla's never-before-mentioned kid! Then we shift from the South Seas to Midtown as Godzilla rampages through the American Museum of Natural History -- so somebody call the Fantastic Four! Did somebody say "It's Clobberin' Time"?

Ross is back on the podcast as he and Steven navigate their way to Solgell Island, following the signal of a mysterious brainwave. What awaits them? Extreme weather, giant invertebrates, and the heir to the King of the Monsters - it can only be Son of Godzilla on the Kaijusaurus Podcast. Show Notes - Thanks to @nuclear-warrior, @bretlowski, @mekagojira3k, and @bluskreem for submitting their thoughts and opinions on the film. - …and apologies to @blackeye15, whose comments I forgot to read pout on the episode. Their submission follows: Son of Godzilla is on the lower end of Godzilla movies for me. Like Ebirah I appreciate a few things it does better as an adult but I think it’s still a weaker film. I have never been a big fan of Minya, I think we should keep him out, I do love Godzilla Jr. to be clear. I will admit I love the fire-breathing lesson scene and the final shot of Godzilla holding Minya. Other than that can’t really stand the little creature. I always figured Godzilla was adopting the little radioactive toad so I wondered why everyone was arguing about it over the internet when I was a kid. Apparently Nakajima considers Godzilla female which I’m totally okay with to be honest A creature named Godzilla is most certainly one of the few beefs I have with 1998’s Godzilla. Here’s the bits I’ve always loved as a kid: Kamacuras. It was super fun giving Godzilla a bunch of mook monsters he can easily tear apart rather than one equally strong monster. I keep hoping some day Toho has Godzilla fighting a swarm of them. I now appreciate the complicated marionette systems used for Kamacuras and Kumonga. None the less I think the end fight just drags on far too long at a poor pace. Kumonga shoots web! Godzilla shoots fire! Not very effective. Now Kumonga is on Godzilla! Now…nothing is happening until Minya shows up, though combo-attack was cool. It’s not really a bad Godzilla movie, it really isn’t ,it’s just kind of middle of the road and I’m very Minya biased. My favorite shot is when the Kamacuras are marching past the tower and two people are hiding, fantastic shot! I think Ebirah was more my ideal Godzilla on a jungle island adventure. - Due to the increasing length of the episodes, we will be curbing the length of listener submissions from here on out. More information on this will follow soon.
