This month on MONSTER ISLAND COMMENTARIES, Travis & Luana celebrate the life and career of legendary suit actor Haruo Nakajima with 1966's THE WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS. They talk about the incredible story of Nakajima's iconic kaiju roles from Godzilla to Gaira, how he persevered through the challenges of suit acting, why American actor Russ Tamblyn seems so sleepy in GARGANTUAS, how expansive the video game arcade scene is in Japan, and more!
NOTE: This commentary should be played alongside the English version of THE WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS. To sync this commentary with the movie, pause the movie as soon as the title card “A Henry G. Saperstein Enterprises Presentation” appears on-screen at the beginning. A countdown to press the play button is included in the commentary's intro.
