052 - Terror of Mechagodzilla (with Elijah Thomas & Nathan Marchand)

On this episode of Kaiju Weekly, we welcome back friends of the podcast, Elijah Thomas of the Kaiju Conversations Podcast, and Nathan Marchand of the Monster Island Film Vault Podcast to discuss the final film in the Shōwa Godzilla Series, Terror of Mechagodzilla!

-----------------------------------------------

PLOT:

Both the final entry in the original Showa series of Godzilla films and the last entry helmed by original Godzilla director Ishiro Honda, Terror of Mechagodzilla picks up directly after Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, with INTERPOL searching for the wreckage of Mechagodzilla. Rather than any remains, they find the colossal dinosaur Titanosaurus, which destroys their submarine. Marine biologist Akira Ichinose works alongside INTERPOL agent Jiro Murakoshi to uncover the mystery around Titanosaurus and the disgraced scientist who discovered him, Shinzo Mafune. Unbeknownst to them, Mafune has aligned himself with the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens, offering them the services of Titanosaurus, who is under his control, and helping to repair Mechagodzilla. When both the rebuilt Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus are unleashed in Tokyo by the aliens, Godzilla faces an uphill battle against two powerful foes, and humanity must find a way to help even the odds.
