Episode 23: All Monsters Attack (1969)
Added 2021-06-24 15:00:08 +0000 UTCWe're covering that most misunderstood and stock footage-laden entry in the Godzilla canon, Ishiro Honda's ALL MONSTERS ATTACK. We go over all of the most interesting things about this after-school special of a movie that you might've missed, such as the cool meta stuff going on and the subtler commentary on class and urbanization. Also Minilla has a voice and that's weird. We promise that we make some good points in this one so don't kill us just yet Godzilla fans!

I have fond memories of this one, I had the VHS copy in the late 90s that was republished around the terrible Matthew Broderick Godzilla movie. It blew me away the first time I saw it, so different. One thing is sure….Godzilla sure got himself some revenge…. One question for you guys, you are often saying that you are surprised that movies are better than your memories or the reputation…I think a lot of this comes from AVN being your entryway to Godzilla. I know I also used to enjoy content that mocks bad stuff, but now it all just seems ingenious and mean to me. I just like what I like, and a lot of stuff is good actually. I guess that’s not a question…but maybe the question is, what do you think about that? Love the show, I was raised on Godzilla thanks to my dad, cool revisiting some of these old favorites and learning about some I missed.
