Episode 77 - Godzilla: Rulers of Earth Part 1 NEWS ONLY
Hey there Tokyo Lives listeners! So it turns out we had so much news and so much to say about the comic that we ran super long so for the first time in podcast history we are splitting up the two. The episode will post a little bit later today but for now here’s all the news!

1973’s 'Godzilla vs Megalon' is my favorite showa era Godzilla movie. It’s not a particularly great movie in the classical sense but there is some impressive camera work, and the detail in the kaiju costumes is standard Toho excellence, but the plot is clunky and the characters are annoying. I don’t really like Megalon, I think the Seatopian costumes are incredibly stupid, and Hiroshi the racecar driver makes me irrationally angry for reasons I can’t quite explain. But it’s my favorite, because it introduced me to my favorite monster. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, Jet Jaguar.
