Kaijusaurus Podcast #28: Godzilla ‘98 LIVE Discussion!
The Kaijusaurus Podcast: Lifelong kaiju fan Steven Sloss and newbie Ross Menzies make their way through the thirty-plus film Godzilla canon, sharing their thoughts and waxing lyrical on each film per episode.
Steven, Ross, and Laura take to Facebook to broadcast a LIVE discussion of the most controversial film in the entire Godzilla series - Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin’s 1998 Hollywood feature. Will the much-maligned film be given a fair trial, or will it be sent straight to the gallows? Either way, one thing’s certain - there’ll be a lot of fish.
