episode 247: War of the God Monsters (aka The Flying Monster) (1985)
Byrd, Matt and Kevin discuss the low budget South Korean kaiju oddity, War of the God Monsters! This obscure film uses stock footage from various Tsuburaya kaiju tv shows to string together a story about global warming awakening angry dinosaurs and the perpetually angry scientist who warns the masses. The film was virtually lost until the recent blu-ray release from SRS Cinema. In addition to our review, we discuss the movie's origin and reputation, the pre-2000s Korean film industry, "cut and paste" film making and more. But first, we give our first impressions of Godzilla: Singular Point so far, our thoughts on Legendary's talks for a Son of Kong film, and Byrd and Matt review the Godzilla vs. Kong "Ultimate Showdown" energy drink. Relax and enjoy the conversation!
