It's a tag-team battle with Godzilla and his dog vs. Ghidorah and his knife alien chicken sidekick! Cartoonist Walter Trush joins us for this comic book-themed espionage romp, where a manga artist and his karate champion girlfriend join a team of goofballs who get wrapped up in an alien conspiracy to build an EVIL amusement park (with a Godzilla Tower)! We talk about the Sentai team of human characters, Haruo Nakajima's departure, lots of reused footage, cockroaches, and of course... THE RETURN OF ANGUIRUS!

As disastrous as the 1998 American Godzilla film may have been, one unequivocally good thing came out of it: Godzilla: The Series, a dark Fox Kids sci-fi show that reinvented and rearranged elements of its predecessor into something much smarter and cooler. With a premise that essentially remakes the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla cartoon, this show features high-concept stories, psychic ancient undersea aliens, robots, time travel, and plenty of freaky mutated kaiju. We talk about all the creative connections with other cartoon greats (including a surprising number of Spider-Man cartoons), the bizarrely stacked cast, and more!

Watchlist:
