  • Summary

  • S3E4 Kaiju Unite w/ Son of Godzilla (1967) and Destroy All Monsters (1968) With GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE upon us, we salute the Big G himself, GODZILLA, with a pair of his movies made a year apart from each other, that show his tremendous range. First, the radioactive mutant dinosaur tackles family comedy in SON OF GODZILLA (1967), the "Courtship of Eddie's Father" of kaiju movies. But unlike so many movie and TV single dads, Godzilla has to rear young Minya while battling overgrown mantises and a freaky-assed spider called Kumonga. I'd like to see Dustin Hoffman do that in "Kramer vs. Kramer!" Then, Godzilla shows his serious side in the greatest monster mash of them all, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS! All the kaiju are here--Godzilla! Rodan! Mother! Gorosaurus! Anguirus! Ghidorah!--and they are smashing cities! This was supposed to be the final Godzilla film, so GOJIRA (1954) director and OMFYS GOAT Ishiro Honda directs it with a poignant tone. Movie and TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz was booked for this episode but he had to reschedule. We hope to have him back soon. Greg Franklin and Philena Franklin also couldn't make it so it's just Bob and Cory this time, and they still managed to gab for over an hour. AMAZING! Besides the Kaiju Classics, Bob and Cory discuss the new remake of ROAD HOUSE with Jake Gyllenhaal. One host is Yeh, and the other is Meh on Prime's big streaming release, so it's like Siskel and Ebert for people who smoked too much Super Silver Haze. They also talk about the Netflix documentary AMERICAN CONSPIRACY: THE OCTOPUS MURDERS and what to see THIS SATURDAY at Noir City Hollywood. There's something for everyone here. SON OF GODZILLA and DESTROY ALL MONSTERS are streaming on Criterion Channel, Max, Tubi, and the Pluto Godzilla channel.
