After a long delay, we finally got around to recording the next installment in our Godzilla retrospective. And after another long delay, it was actually edited.

Anyway, this time around, we take a fond look back at the Heisei Godzilla period (1984-1999, not to be confused with the actual Japanese Heisei period, 1989-present). We’re quite fond of the movies during this time (blame nostalgia goggles or whatever), so we went a bit longer than usual. Okay, way longer. Instead of delivering a single 4-hour mp3 (we’re not HJU Radio, after all), I split this into two two-hour parts, breaking right before 1993’s Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II. Enjoy!
