What's that sound? It can't be... but it is! Yes, Godzilla is back, and someone must have soaked him in vinegar and maple syrup for a couple days because he is BIGGER THAN BEFORE here in the Heisei era! Your hosts dig into the first Godzilla movie released in major US theaters since '54, and despite some pretty wild differences, it's a heck of a flick! Moose gives a brief synopsis of the revamped Halloween film series continuity, Quark reveals she's never seen Ducktales, and we all thank Raymond Burr for taking a very important stand. Not even a locked metal shutter can stop this train, folks!(Thanks to 2 Mello for the use of his track for our new intro/outro! You can find him on Twitter @mellomakes, Bandcamp at 2mellomakes, and Soundcloud and Youtube as 2Mello!)Movies discussed:THE RETURN OF GODZILLA (1984)Directed by Koji HashimotoProduced by Tomoyuki TanakaScreenplay by Shuichi NagaharaStory by Tomoyuki TanakaStarring Ken Tanaka, Yasuko Sawaguchi, Yosuke Natsuki, Keiju Kobayashi, and Kenpachiro SatsumaMusic by Reijiro KorokuCinematography by Katsumi HaraEdited by Yoshitami KuroiwaGODZILLA 1985 (1985)New footage credits:Directed by R.
