    Godzilla (1954) Review

    Godzilla (1954) Review

    Godzilla (1954) synopsis: “American nuclear weapons testing results in the creation of a seemingly unstoppable dinosaur-like beast.”

    Starring: Akira Takarada, Momoko Kôchi, Takashi Shimura, and Akihiko HirataDirector: Ishirô Honda

    This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review the original Godzilla! That’s right, the one that kicked off an entire genre of films: Giant rubber monster movies! To be clear, this is not the version of Godzilla that came out two years later 1956 with Raymond Burr inserted into it. This is the original all-Japanese cast, and the superior version, in our opinion!

    Leave a comment on our social media pages or Patreon and let us know what you think of this episode or the movie itself. We always love hearing from you all!

    A huge THANK YOU to Rob for picking Godzilla for us to review through Patreon! His previous film choices were Guyver 2 (1994), Excalibur (1981), The Convent (2000), and Suburbia (1983).

BoBo says this is the place to be

What can I say I truly have found my favorite podcast. Podcasts contain witty, sarcasm, unique perspective and a guaranteed good time. I think that everyone should take the time to give a listen. There are so many you can find a movie that you have watched and liked, or even when you’ve hated and find a new angle based on the commentary given by the Podcasters. Shows that not only do they watch the movies they take the time to really digest what they’ve seen. It makes me happy to be part of this community, the horror community. I’d give it more than five stars if I could.

The Complete Package

Corey and Zak add great flavor and insight into your favorite 70s, 80s, and early 90s horror, sci-fi, and action movies. They utilize an effective narration style to keep you centered in the conversation in case you haven't seen the movie, or haven't seen the movie in quite awhile. Truly, everyone can enjoy the enjoyable experience these two provide.
