The debut of that other Big G – the brave, the super, the INVINCIBLE – Gamera! And that’s with one “M”, before you forget and wind up on the roasting end of his fire breath. Or maybe you’d prefer the Toshio approach to certain death: ignore every warning and run straight toward the rampaging kaiju. Honestly, who’s watching this kid? YOU are! As you thrill at a movie that may have started as a Godzilla knock-off, but proved it had jet legs all of its own.

Along the way, we discuss the American “Gammera”, MonsterVerse news, horror award nominations, and more! Then, Peter Lorre reviews a camptastic film called The Corpse Vanishes as he vanishes into the world of exotic horticulture.
