Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) Audio Commentary

The Kaiju Transmissions Podcast

We are joined once again by our Kaiju Masterclass co-conspirator, writer Patrick Galvan (SyFy, Our Culture, Ruan Lingyu: Her Life and Career), this time for a full audio commentary for 1991's Godzilla vs King Ghidorah! This 90s rematch between Godzilla and his arch-nemesis has plenty of fans, but it's often considered one of the more confusing and sloppy films in the franchise. However, we believe it is actually more subversive than people often give it credit for, and we'll state our case on why we think it is actually one of the most misunderstood entries in the franchise. Along with that we also talk plenty on the film's themes of Japan's bubble economy, the career of late director Kazuki Omori, common misreadings of the film's (admittedly muddled) messaging, behind the scenes details of the production and more! So throw this Heisei classic on the tube and enjoy the show!
