The Curious Case of the King of the Monsters

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of watching a sequel to Godzilla that ignores many previous films.

It's destruction and disorder in the Depot when the boys face their biggest challenge yet: Godzilla himself! Preschool-aged Ted watched Godzilla 1985 every week for a year, but will middle-aged Ted be able to make it through even once? It's a sequel to Godzilla that ignores about fourteen movies in between, and brings back Raymond Burr to reprise his role from the bowdlerized American version of the film. Yes, having now defeated Hamilton Burger almost 270 times, Perry Mason now sets his sights on taking down the King of the Monsters. We wanted to like this movie, and it wasn't easy.
