Maybe man was not meant to watch a Godzilla movie every day.

What excellent timing! @nikolacizmesija.bsky.social posted a rad Godzilla drawing at the same time as today’s Godzilla report.

Next up: Son of Godzilla. I am expecting this to be a low point in the series (but hope to be pleasantly surprised). I know that β€˜All Monsters Attack’ is after that, so it’s hard not to want to skip ahead.
Anyway, this has been today’s Godzilla Report!

Gotta’ say, I was NOT expecting this β€˜Infant Island’ setting to extend through four films (maybe more?) I guess it’s Mothra’s home, so it makes sense, but it’s getting a bit tedious.
I love Mothra, though. Here is an actual moth I took a picture of today that was super cute. It’s a Rosy Maple Moth.

There was a pretty spectacular ocean fight, though. Points for that.

I mostly felt bad for Godzilla. He just wanted to sleep for this whole movie. The doofuses woke him up abruptly with lightning, and when he tried to go back to sleep later, a completely random vulture-kaiju attacked him for no reason.
Then he got left behind on an island that was set to explode.

I still don’t know who the bad guys were. Some kind of military cabal? Terrorists? They were developing atomic weapons with some nefarious purpose. One guy had an eye patch, which was pretty cool.

Well, I wasn’t exactly feeling it for EBIRAH: Horror of the Deep.
It wasted a lot of time on a bunch of doofuses running around on an island and nowhere near enough time on monsters.
Despite this sick poster…

The 60s Godzilla films jump the shark so hard it's kind of like if everybody watched Joel Schumacher's 'Batman and Robin' and then said, Yes! Let's make another twenty of those!

That's been today's Godzilla minute! Come back next time for 'Ebirah, Horror of the Deep.'
I think it's a crab-monster. I hope we get some deep-water horror.

I did like these guys quite a bit.

Godzilla shows up in Japan so often that the people just take him for granted now. 'Oh, is he asleep in the lake over there? Okay.' In four or five movies, he ceased to be an apocalyptic threat and turned into more of a mascot.
He almost cried when the astronauts left him in space, too. Poor guy.

I liked this movie aesthetically, but I was a bit bummed by the ending. I want a decisive monster victory at the end of every Godzilla movie, but this time, Ghidorah just flew away after a bit of bullying, and Godzilla and Radon fell into the water and everyone was like, well I guess that's over!

Twins feature heavily in these 60's movies. This time, the American astronaut's girlfriend turned out to be an alien spy who had a twin. Actually, I think there might have been thousands of her. Like, ALL females of the Planet X aliens maybe looked like her.

Today's Godzilla film was the 1965 'Invasion of Astro-Monster'.
Godzilla and Radon get duped by aliens into going to space to fight Astro-Monster (who is really just King Ghidorah again).
I think it might be most famous for Godzilla's victory dance...
