Godzilla (2014) - Episode 59 Horror News Radio

Godzilla (2014) is the hottest monster film of the summer of 2014 with an epic battle between the King of the Monsters and a pair of kaiju creatures called M.U.T.O. SFX Artist Vincent Guastini (Monsters TV, Dogma, VHS 3: Viral) joins the grue-crew to take a bite out of the mammoth $93 million haul the film earned its opening weekend. Vincent with Dave and Santos at this side roars "I want more Godzilla in my Godzilla movies" as Doc and Vixen try to champion the film. It's up to young maverick Thomas Mariani to keep things in check. Yeah, it's trouble. The best kind!

 

Dave ramps up the news of the week with bits about Halloween, Rob Zombie's 31 and Stephen King's Gerald's Game.

 

Co-hosts Doc Rotten, Santos (The Black Saint) Ellin Jr., Dave Dreher, Thomas Mariani and Vixen are back again this week to give you the best in horror as they recap, review and obliterate all that is horror this week!  The Black Saint's Horror Trivia Contest continues this week with the Insight Editions' latest book Godzilla: The Art of Destruction.

Years in the making from the announcement of Gareth Edwards (Monsters)  taking on the directing chores to hints of Godzilla's design at Comic Con 2013 to this year's incredibly effective marketing campaign, Godzilla (2014) is the ultimate example of a roller coaster ride of nervous anticipation. Will a U.S. backed studio get Godzilla right? The film is out and killing it at the box office to cheers and jeers. SFX Artist Vincent Guastini joins the regular crew to review and recap the film tackling the plot, the design of Godzilla, the other kaiju and the epic battle of San Francisco.
