Started watching a childhood favorite of mine - Destroy All Monsters from Toho in 1969. The Godzilla movie to end all Godzilla movies. This opening narration cracked me up. Always fun to see a vision

@gedeonm@mastodon.social If you haven't seen Matango, check it out - same director, only it's a weird cross between Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Gilligan's Island.... Criterion Channel is the only app that seems to have it unfortunately.
