Toho Kaiju Movie Day : Saturday, July 19 at 4:00 PM

Life’s too short to take it too seriously. That’s why we have Japan to thank for their abundant supply of campy and ridiculous monster flicks. For this marathon we plan to watch three of Toho’s sillier releases while basking in the free-for-all attitude of summer. This isn't a marathon for thinking too hard and taking seriously. This is a marathon for kicking back and realizing that the world doesn't have to be so stressful.

Like the majority of Toho’s Kaiju films of this era, all three of these are directed by Ishiro Honda, are produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka, and feature special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya, all of Godzilla fame. As a bonus, the late Akihiko Hirata (Gojira's Dr. Serizawa) is in two of the movies!

The lineup:
Battle in Outer Space. 1959. 90 minutes.
Mothra. 1961. 100 minutes.
The H-Man. 1958. 87 minutes.

Total running time: 277 minutes / 4.6 hours
All movies are in Japanese with English subtitles

As always, anyone who wants to join us is totally invited to stop by.
