Circuses Bad, Gorgo Good: A Review of Gorgo (1961) + Super Festival 85, Gamera: Rebirth News

YHS on Monster Island - Godzilla, Kaiju, & Tokusatsu!

What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than with a film about the greatest monster mama of them all?

This installment of YHS on Monster Island is jam-packed with kaiju goodness, including a full review of the 1961 British-Irish-American co-production, Gorgo. Jake and Jay discuss suit design, who is actually the real protagonist, and if this movie had the most powerful net in the history of cinema! On top of reviewing the "Big G" - okay, the other "Big G" - okay, the third "Big G", the duo talk pick-ups including some Harryhausen awesomeness and more BioGojis, Jay's recent obscure tokusatsu binge into the worlds of Fireman, Mirrorman, and Spectreman, why it's hard to rank Ultra Q episodes, a host of toy reveals from Super Festival 85 and the 6th Mandarake Creative Sofubi Rally, Gamera: Rebirth giving us a tentative release date and a teaser image of Zigra, animal rights, and the first (and only) edition of Gorgo Movie Posters from Around the World!

It's a wild and chaotic episode, no doubt...so enjoy!
