Hop into your time machine and pilot your Mecha, because Godzilla expert Jayce joins us for King Ghidorah's entrance into the Heisei era! This fantastical sci-fi romp is a response to America's blockbusters like Back to the Future and a celebration of Showa era monster fights, but it's also surprisingly wrapped up in Japanese/American economic relations (yes, we're talking about the economy again.) We also get into the complicated time travel that explores Godzilla's origins, Kawakita's special effects, the loveable and Terminator-esque M-11 Android, and of course, the time Godzilla cried.
