Ep982: GOJIRA X GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS! - LIVE Round Table Review

Kicking the Seat

Though there's a "new" dueling-giant-monsters movie now in theaters, Earth's Mightiest Critics are doing something a bit different this week: We're traveling back 70 years to the King of All Monster Movies: Godzilla!

But this show isn't just about Ishiro Honda's 1954 Japanese film, Gojira--it's also a compare-and-contrast discussion of the "Americanized" 1956 version, Godzilla: King of the Monsters!

Who will win? And what will be left of the panel when the dust clears?

Join us as we take on these twin titans of towering terror--and answer your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
