Hey guys here I am again back to do another discussion on a Godzilla movie. This time I'm going to talk about one of the best in the Showa series. Mothra vs Godzilla also known as Godzilla vs Mothra or Godzilla vs the thing....

The Thing????? Really????? Is this the thing they're referring to...

Is Kurt Russell supposed to show up?? Because that would be awesome! But, anyways I'm getting off track

Anyways this movie was once again directed by Ishiro Honda with Akira Ifukube doing the music again and of course it's excellent as always. Have a listen....

What's most special about this movie is that it's the first time Toho made a crossover with one of its own films. Mothra originally made her debut in Mothra (1961).

[Its a pretty good and classic Kaiju flick so check it out, I love the lore surrounding the character along with the twin fairies who sing to her]

Anyways the plot of this one goes like this. The twin fairies (played by the japanese vocal group the peanuts) are back from Mothra (1961) in this one and they are trying to get Mothra's egg returned to their island before it hatches and causes trouble. Keep in mind Japan has seen the damage that Mothra can do so you'd think they'd be like "yeah keep this egg away from us." But, no they didn't and instead the egg is purchased by two rich assholes named Kumayama and Torahata.
