It’s time for a mechanical takedown! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence Johnson look at 1974’s blend of myth and cosmic destruction in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, from director Jun Fukuda. Ambition was key with this entry, as Toho would introduce one of Godzilla’s most popular adversaries, Mechagodzilla, along with a fun mythical lion-like kaiju, King Caesar, awakened by a highly debated song. Listen to what the guys thought of this film, which they actually watched months ago with an audience at The Frida Cinema, then recorded immediately afterward in their car. Enjoy!

Time for kaiju absurdity to truly shine! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence Johnson look at the famed 1973 camptastic entry Godzilla vs. Megalon, from director Jun Fukuda. Based on distribution rights, this feature became one of the more well-known kaiju films in the U.S., and plenty of gif-related silliness can be found to have originated here. Listen to what the guys thought of this film, how it compares to other Fukuda entries, the joy that is Jet Jagur, thoughts on the climactic battle, and other curiosities such as the various “friendships” depicted. Enjoy and punch, punch, punch!

The claws really come out for this one! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence Johnson tackle the 1972 kaiju brawler entry Godzilla vs. Gigan, from director Jun Fukuda. While things have gotten more family-friendly over the years, this is our bloodiest entry yet, despite primarily being set at a children’s theme park (featuring the legendary Godzilla Tower). Hear what the guys thought about this entry, including the Gigan design, the return of fan favorites Anguirus and King Ghidorah, the ample use of stock footage, and where this film sits in relation to the rest of the series so far. Enjoy!
