Godzilla: The Series (1998)
About this episode
This episode discusses the 1998 animated series Godzilla: The Series and its creative connections to other cartoons.
As disastrous as the 1998 American Godzilla film may have been, one unequivocally good thing came out of it: Godzilla: The Series, a dark Fox Kids sci-fi show that reinvented and rearranged elements of its predecessor into something much smarter and cooler. With a premise that essentially remakes the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla cartoon, this show features high-concept stories, psychic ancient undersea aliens, robots, time travel, and plenty of freaky mutated kaiju. We talk about all the creative connections with other cartoon greats (including a surprising number of Spider-Man cartoons), the bizarrely stacked cast, and more! Watchlist: "New Family, Parts 1 & 2" "Leviathan" "Monster War, Parts 1-3" "Future Shock" "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been" This episode originally aired on Patreon on January 11, 2025.
