Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) with Jayce
from Skreeonk! A Godzilla Movie Marathon · host Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective
Hop into your time machine and pilot your Mecha, because Godzilla expert Jayce joins us for King Ghidorah's entrance into the Heisei era! This fantastical sci-fi romp is a response to America's blockbusters like Back to the Future and a celebration of Showa era monster fights, but it's also surprisingly wrapped up in Japanese/American economic relations (yes, we're talking about the economy again.) We also get into the complicated time travel that explores Godzilla's origins, Kawakita's special effects, the loveable and Terminator-esque M-11 Android, and of course, the time Godzilla cried.
