We’re at the end of our Godzilluminating journey through the longest-running film franchise of all time!

Noah and Eliza are still reeling from the final hours of MIFF’s 700-minute-long Godzilla marathon, which ends with the 90s sweetness of Godzilla Vs. Mothra and then the hilariously-named Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. As our fave kaiju stomps into a new century, do these entries capture the best of both worlds: the series’ sci-fi silliness and environmental themes, finally perfectly balanced?

Hear from more of the Astor’s exhausted guests, as well as news about Midnight Screening’s OC kaijus Swoopilla and Cobroo — we’re saying bye to Godzilla for now, but not forever, since that beefy boi is always popping back out of the Pacific when you least expect him…
