Celebrating 50 Years of Daigoro vs. Goliath

from On Monster Island - a Godzilla and Kaiju Podcast · host YHS Media Network

It's not fair that Godzilla vs. Gigan gets ALL of the 50th anniversary love! There was another little Toho project that came out in 1972 - a co-production with Tsuburaya - that deserves some respect: Daigoro vs. Goliath! Okay, maybe deserving respect might be too much for this film - but hey, it...uh...exists. And "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and his co-conspirator, Jay Key, are here to discuss this oft forgotten kaiju gem. From monster-sized toilets to excessive alcohol consumption to domestic violence, it has everything one expects in a kids' movie! However, the most compelling thing about Daigoro vs. Goliath is what it COULD have been!   In addition to the film, Jake and Jay discuss Kurt Russell in the Monsterverse, weekly pick-ups, Shin Ultraman's international release news, and some new reveals by Marusan for the Godzilla Store.  Please leave a positive review wherever you choose to consume YHS on Monster Island!
