I’m surprised no o e brought up Lovecraft for the best non-Japanese giant monster.
Thanks for letting us blather at you for a while, guys. It was awesome fun to be on the show!
Also I think going from Superman the Movie “You will believe a man can fly” to Man of Steel “He didn’t have a choice” reveals everything wrong with the Goyer/Snyder conception of superman.
The best Ajax episodes are the ones when Wilson shows emotion like he did during that Pacific Rim discussion. Loved it!
The way I’ve heard it the reason why John Astin played The Riddler that one time was because Frank Gorshin was having contract disputes with the producers at the time.
