linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠ Once again, it is “No Theme November” here at Catching Up On Cinema! We'll be reviewing whatever the f*ck we want for the next 4 weeks, so expect little to no consistency between picks this month. This week, Trevor conducts a solo review of Koji Hashimoto's, Gojira (1984), as well as Roger Corman produced recut, Godzilla 1985! Sometimes referred to as The Return of Godzilla, Gojira (1984) represented the character's return to the silver screen after a 9 year absence. Serving as the first film in the series' Heisei era, the film's tone is returns the franchise to it's more serious roots, once again portraying the titular monster as an intimidating and menacing presence. Produced with state of the art special effects, the film was a serious effort on the part of Toho studios, successfully bringing the iconic monster to a new generation of fans, and reigniting and reinvigorating the franchise for another 10 years.
