Nick, Andrew, Evan, and James discuss Zone Fighter, episodes 23-24, primarily by using a LOT of Star Trek and Doctor Who references and plenty of gallows humor… plus lots of barking dogs (sorry- or congratulations, to those of you who’ve said you enjoy hearing them!), the surprise character that’s grown on us all, an abundance of headcanon-fire, an examination of Zone Fighter’s mounting violence, two polar-opposite Terror-Beast aesthetics, the next weird, rad Mark Jackson movie, and much, much more!

Nick, Andrew, Evan, and James discuss Zone Fighter, episodes 20-22, possibly the strongest batch of episodes we’ve ever reviewed! Plus, a LOT of callback to episode 17 (go listen to episode 28 of our podcast first; you won’t regret it!), the Garoga Eye Code, the most ruthless member of the Zone Family, the incredible escalation of body-count (“The death-toll is catastrophic!”), the ‘Homeless Godzilla’ theory, the Zone Fighter inspirations (plural!) that led to Shin Godzilla, the Zone Fighter inspirations (plural!) that shaped Richard Donner’s vision for Superman II, a tragic requiem for the end of an era, and much more!

Plus Takeru-Watch 2020, the playground-equipment conundrum, a King Ghidorah battle ripped from the headlines, the backstory of the amnesiac fighter pilot, Venus fact-checking, and some sick cars.

Plus the perils of international communication, kaiju as both characters and natural disasters, the most Minilla-relevant grocery chain, The Three Godzillas (move over, DC comics!), and a surprising number of comparisons to the original Mothra, and vs. SpaceGodzilla!
