Gorath (1962)
from Skreeonk! A Godzilla Movie Marathon · host Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective
What would you do if a rogue star was about to collide with Earth? Oh, and also there's a giant walrus for some reason! We're tackling Ishirō Honda's lesser-seen high concept sci-fi film about the far future of 1980 and a kind world overcoming borders and politics to literally move the planet. But can a disaster movie work without any interpersonal or human conflict? We talk about the strange dullness of this film, random amnesia, Honda's commitment to authentic science, and of course the top-notch Tsubaraya effects.Check out Glitterjaw's new variety feed, Glitterjaw Presents!Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveCover Art Gallery | Patreon | DiscordEmail: [email protected]Theme song: "BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer KaijuGlitterjaw Presents trailer song: “Happiest Days” by Three Chain Links.
