In this fun, fascinating episode your Film Freaks are back from the wilds of Canada and happy to bring you an in-depth look at the big giant monster movie genre.
We take you through the very early days to the 1953 classic "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms," the first giant creature awakened by man and boy is he cranky movie. Quick to follow was the Japanese classic "Gojira" and the Americanized version "Godzilla: King of the Monsters." That was the beginning of one of the most impressive film franchises ever!
Interesting and hilarious sound clips from all the films—everything from "Gorgo" to "The Crater Lake Monster" to "Cloverfield." Some of the talent we discuss include Ray Harryhausen, Raymond Burr, Anne Hathaway, J.J. Abrams, Jason Sudekis, and dozens more. Come along as we stomp through cities, take you by the hand, and save your life from being crushed by a large rubbery foot.
