Episode 78: Godzilla Vs Megalon

With the recent release of the all new Godzilla movie, we here at B Movie Breakdown decided why not flip through the vast Godzilla library and choose one of the classics. The film we chose was Godzilla Vs Megalon, the one Godzilla movie that wasn’t even meant to be a Godzilla movie. It was actually meant to be a vehicle for Toho’s answer to Ultraman, Jet Jaguar, but when test audiences wanted nothing to do with Jet Jaguar they decided to throw Godzilla and Gigan in the mix to spice things. As for the film itself, when the undersea nation of Seatopia sends the gigantic god Megalon to destroy the world above – and it’s up to Godzilla and a size-shifting robot, Jet Jaguar, to defeat him. You can tell this movie was put together at the last minute, but the ending fight sequence is well worth watching this entry in the Godzilla universe. Also, we were joined by two special guests, Nick Tyranno and Alex Simotes.
