I checked out the Pluto TV Godzilla channel (protip it's under movies and not anime+gaming with the other geek stuff) and it's pretty cool. They are currently showing Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 subtitled and in HD. Hopefully that means everything else gets the same treatment

Return of Ultraman is a favorite of mine, a great 1st episode that goes into a cool mini-arc, they really blow out the first few episodes with monsters and city smashing. Spoilers for how Hideki Go becomes Ultraman: He's a racecar driver/daredevil who runs up like 10 flights of stairs to save a kid during a monster attack, helps the kid release all his pet pigeons from the roof before running away, and then also rescues a tied up dog before the monsters bury him in rubble. He covers the kid and dog with his body, saving them at the expense of his life, so this series' Ultraman revives him for his bravery!

I’m gutted this isn’t on UK Pluto tv, I had a look at the American Pluto via VPN on my laptop and it’s leagues better than what we get, at least I can still enjoy Catfish as background noice but I wanted Godzilla

ok well Godzilla 2000 is on the Pluto channel now and it's dubbed, looks like they use the dub if they have one? I dunno, guess we'll see when they do some Showa flicks

on that note I saw Mothra Rebirth 2 and 3 the other day and those were...movies. a lot of very poorly composited tiny women flying around, clearly more kid oriented than the typical kaiju stuff. very cool that they were airing at all though!

Originally they stated it was going to be an October 2023 release so being that it's coming in November means I'll have a good chance to go see it in the Toho Theater in the Ginza.

I saw Hedorah, Gigan, and Mechagodzilla 74 the day and they were all subbed. They all started with Criterion Janus logo at the beginning so I figure any of the films from the Criterion showa box are going to be on here subbed.

It is. I watched the Japanese cut of 2000 a year or two ago and the pacing and sound design are weirdly off. American version tightened both of those up quite a bit.

I prefer the dubbed version of Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster for similar reasons, but the differences are a lot less noticeable there.

crosspost from BSS but I got the Super 7 Ultimates '89 Godzilla and I think it's pretty cool:

I got Super 7 Ultimates Godzilla and I thought that would be of interest to some of you:



I love him. He is enormous, beefy, heavy and about as poseable as you'd think (not very), although the tail, neck and arms are pretty decent. The jaw is not articulated but it comes with a roaring head that also looks great. He also comes with a few hand options and the vines Biollante wraps around his neck. I've never owned a Monsterarts so I don't know how it stacks up but the NECA 60s Godzilla vs Kong Godzilla I have goes up to his shoulder and has fairly similar articulation. Godzilla vs Biollante is my favorite big G design and this captures it perfectly.

Depends on how you count the animes. Part 3 came out within a few months of KOTM, IIRC.

Also, huge news re: US release if this turns out to be true

And he also directed The Returner. Which is a movie I have seen.

Speaking of Godzilla x Kong, what are the popular theories on who the big bad will be? I'm not enough of a Zilla expert to list which options might be left, but I know they've already used up Rodan, Mothra, Ghidora, and MechaGodzilla, so what does that leave still on the board?

We saw what looked like an evil Orangutan in the first trailer, have they dropped anything since

I feel like Japanese Godzilla always sounds better because they keep some of the original Godzilla roar sounds in there where as the American versions always are just a variation on the Spielberg T-Rex roar.

Oh, wow. I knew there was a new film coming from Toho Studios but I’d heard nothing at all about it.

They are going all the way back to like 1946 for this one.
