episode 173: The Giant Claw (1957) + Ishiro Honda on the CW!
On this special Thanksgiving episode of the podcast, Byrd and Matt take a look at the ultimate turkey of giant monster movies, 1957's The Giant Claw! We'll get into the backstory of the movie and just why the titular creature looks so darn goofy. But first we have a full review of the Thanksgiving episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow on the CW! This episode was a full blown homage to kaiju eiga as the superhero team went back in time and met with Ishiro Honda himself. How did the episode pan out? Is the Giant Claw really as stupid as everyone says it is? Listen and find out! Happy Thanksgiving!
