Time for a trio of terrifying supporting players getting their chance to shine. This week, Aaron and Terence take a tangential look at the universe by covering Rodan (1956), Varan the Unbelievable (1958), and Mothra (1961). Each of these kaiju creations will make their way into the King of the Monsters’ world soon enough, but it was important for this show to meet them on their terms first. Listen in to hear how these solo efforts fare, which ones stood out best, favorite moments from each, and more. This is a public episode.
