Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Ends May With "Destroy All Monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                           He ended April of 2023 with this film, so maybe he is establishing some sort of tradition like ending each month with this film.



                                              It has an all-star cast.  First and foremost, as can be seen from the poster, is Gojira, without whom this film would not have been made.  Rumor, is he did it just for the money, and donated his salary to Sister Camille, and the Sisters Of Mercy.  Good going, Gojira!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                                Rodan is featured and gives a wonderful performance, as he and Gojira work well together, as they are both firsts.  Gojira was the first Toho monster, while Rodan was the first one, in color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                                  Also featured on Monster Land (which eventually became Monster Island) are Angirius, said to be a child of Gojira (!!!!!!!!!!), Gadzookie, his son, and Gogosaurus, whom no one has seen before.  They don't do the film any harm, nor do they enhance it.


                                                  Alas, there is Mothra.  But I don't recall her interacting with other monsters, which was just fine with Gojira, as they do not get along.  Mothra thinks she is number one, but she has not a clue.
                                 But just wait till you see The She-Aliens, darlings, known as The Kilaaks.  And their queen!  What a bitch!  Like Saturday night in a gay bar!  And they look like rejects from one of ANNA's galas.  But they are campy as hell and liven things up.


                                  Except when Gojira is on camera.  That is the best of all.


                                  So, tune in at 8 tonight, darlings!  Baby Gojira, Kerwyn and Cucumbo will all be watching with us.


                                  And let us hope "Svengoolie" comes up with some real gems in June!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Mistress Maddie,
    You precious thing! What I learned from this movie is too many monsters spoil the film!

    As for Fleet Week, I remember one time being approached by a comely young sailor. I did not live in the Village, nor did he. But I had his number. So I walked him through the village, and when he saw we were approaching the police precinct there, he took off. I knew what he wanted, and he was not about to get it. As Bette Davis said, "I'm not about to be had for the price of a cheap cocktail..., like a salted peanut.
