Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972) with Walter Trush

It's a tag-team battle with Godzilla and his dog vs. Ghidorah and his knife alien chicken sidekick! Cartoonist Walter Trush joins us for this comic book-themed espionage romp, where a manga artist and his karate champion girlfriend join a team of goofballs who get wrapped up in an alien conspiracy to build an EVIL amusement park (with a Godzilla Tower)! We talk about the Sentai team of human characters, Haruo Nakajima's departure, lots of reused footage, cockroaches, and of course... THE RETURN OF ANGUIRUS!
