Episode 22: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
Well guys, it finally happened, the gang got so excited that they didn't describe their favorite part of the movie. So it's up to me (Rob), to fill you in. The best sequence in the movie is the Lighthouse destruction, hands down. We see two men working in a lighthouse as the Beast attacks it crushing the tower in half by leaning on it. The whole thing is flashing between the two men frantically running down the spiral staircase and the Rhedosaurus bashing at the outside of the building. It's pretty amazing and shows all of the strengths of this movie rolled into a single moment.

Episode 12: Gojira VERSUS Godzilla: King Of The Monsters
Today we have an episode that we've been building up to since the very beginning. We finally talk in-depth about the original Godzilla film that spawned one of the longest running film series of al time. Not content to treat it like any other film, we decided to make this a VERSUS episode and pit the American and Japanese versions against each other in a fight to the death.
Today we have an episode that we've been building up to since the very beginning. We finally talk in-depth about the original Godzilla film that spawned one of the longest running film series of al time. Not content to treat it like any other film, we decided to make this a VERSUS episode and pit the American and Japanese versions against each other in a fight to the death.
The rules are simple:
- Comment under this article AFTER listening to our arguments to vote for the winner of this VERSUS match. You can only vote once and if you don't write briefly about why you support your pick, your vote will unfortunately not be counted.
- No fighting in the comments or name calling. Support your claim and don't call anyone else out on their opinion.
- We'll count the votes before the next episode and declare a winner!
Never before have two titans met with this much on the line. Coleman and Kyle pit the two infamous versions of the original Godzilla film against each other and only you can decide who wins!
