Summary
It's Hot Ghidorah Summer, and the planet-destroying space dragon king has made his entrance! This is the movie where everything changes: it's cosmic, it's an Avengers-style team-up among Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, and perhaps most importantly, it's the moment Godzilla becomes a hero to cheer for. We talk about this film's shift in philosophy and Ishirō Honda's complicated feelings, along with a Biollante-esque plot that includes psychic prophecies, a Venusian spirit possessing a princess, assassins, and Hiroshi Koizumi being the hottest man to ever rock a yellow raincoat and bucket hat.
