As Gareth Evan's Godzilla (2014) prepares to bear down on U.S. theaters on May 16, 2014, The Black Saint (Santo Ellin Jr. from Horror News Radio and HorrorNews.Net) joins Doc Rotten to discuss the films of Toho's globally famous Kaiju, the one and only, Godzilla. The pair run through the giant lizard's entire film library from Gojira (or Godzilla, King of the Monsters - 1954) to  Godzilla: Final Wars (2004).

As children of the Seventies, The Black Saint and Doc Rotten grew up watching Godzilla films in the theaters and on TV, watching the King of the Monsters destroys Tokyo, fights King Ghidorah & King King and save the planet from invading aliens. The kaiju is mythical, monstrous and magical to the heart of these two young horror fans. Doc and Saint spend the next 90 minutes revisiting and reliving the entire Godzilla library picking their favorites, remembering when the first saw the classics and what they thought of the classic Man-in-Suit masterpieces as they grew older and rediscovered them. Here are nearly 30 Godzilla films:
