I can't believe we are already at the end of the Showa era of the Godzilla franchise. It seems we started this podcast just yesterday.

In 1973, with with the most stringy of shoestring budgets and very little time, Jun Fukuda and Co. pumped out Godzilla vs. Megalon, the 13th entry in the Godzilla franchise.
