In this episode of the Shelf Examination Podcast we regret taht the early Gamera movies aren't in our collection because we're stuck with Gamera - Guardian of the Universe from 1995. And as bad as this is, it's nothing compared with what's coming next week.

Black hole aliens be schemin' in this episode of the Shelf Examination Podcast as we review The Terror of Mechagodzilla from 1975, the sequel to Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, which isn' in our collection. Featuring an unlovable cyborg, the handsome hero who loves her, and a new monster that's bigger than Godzilla, so it gets unimaginatively named the "Titanasaurus".

How will the Terror of Mechagodzilla fare in the rankings? Stay tuned to find out.

In this episode we take a break from Summer Reading in our Library to explore a hidden gem in the Kaiju Genre. A movie that shouldn't have existed, and yet somehow is. Where everyone is dubbed, even in their native language, Where the Bergermeister Meister Berger has built a robot monkey from drawings he stole, but not drawings of a robot monkey. Where the first non-blond that King Kong carried returns as not-Japanese not-Chinese not-Korean, who is she? A movie so bizarre that when it's done we had no choice but to subject others to it. Behold the 8-and-a-half-th wonder of the world, King Kong Escapes!
