There's been so many great #kaiju designs over the years. What are some of your favourites?
I grew up watching #Godzilla on UHF TV. Seeing Godzilla 85 on the big screen was everything I'd dreamed of in a monster movie. Even with the Dr. Pepper plugs, it was a serious take on a movie genre I took seriously. The Heisei era is still my favorite.

(Ok... I can talk about Godzilla some more next weekend. It's good to take a break...)
I can't believe Music Kid asking to add 'Death' songs to the family playlist has gone -> Gene Hoglan -> Bear McCreary -> Akira Ifkube.
Are there any memorable scores that can compete with Akira Ifukube's 1954 Godzilla for duration?
71 years later and it's still used in current films, and I'd argue is growing in recognition.
I was tempted to do this yesterday, but I'm doing it now...
One of the grand achievements of 'Godzilla King Of Monsters' (2019) is the music is really phenomenal. Bear McCreary's soundtrack reuses classic themes with incredible production values and is brilliant.
But... right now I'm gonna promote the more catchy cover of Blue Öyster Cult's 'Godzilla'.
It's performed by Serj Tankian (of System Of A Down) with support by Brendan Small and Gene Hoglan (GENE HOGLAN!) of Dethklok fame.
Good Lord, #Minibricks are just so goddamn good at this check out their channel, obvi, but also the museum-quality diorama projects on their website, minibricks.co

So yeah an amazing realisation of the classic Godzilla multi-kaiju films, realised with state of the art special effects, that maybe is a bit clunky as an actual film.
Oh, and I finally saw that title card at the end…
I think Ghidorah here is the best he’s ever been in his 55 year cinematic history. Giving the individual heads distinct personalities is genius.
But this film also sells how he’s an invasive species, here to disrupt the ecosystem. Alien in his biological abilities, and unnatural in earth’s environment.
My main problem with this film is the monster action is so so good, that the constant cutting back to the human perspective makes a frustrating watch.
The Kong films (coming up in the next few weeks) deserve credit for making the kaiju the main characters.
I still appreciate all the awesome moments in this film, even if the feel a bit fragmented to watch.
The Rodan sequence is phenomenal.
I suppose there’s only so many opportunities to do an aerial kaiju battle, but this one is great demonstration of a giant monster smashing the puny humans.
So this film is something of the black sheep for the MonsterVerse. Successful, but not as successful as the films before or after it. It also reviewed fairly poorly.
And personally, I know the things I wish it did better.
However, the things it gets right are incredible. It takes the classic monsters of the Showa era and brings them to life in amazing set pieces.
Not sure if the is a title screen for this move. Maybe I missed it, or maybe it’s at the end. Anyway, it’s …
GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019)
It’s that time of the week!
After the underwhelming anime trilogy, we’re back to the American MonsterVerse.
The title card is coming up, but in the meantime … it’s everyone’s favourite larvae!
