Big Fun with Giant Monsters

So far this series is a lot more upbeat and cheerful than some other Shudder docs. I appreciate that. This time they cover giant monsters from King Kong to the giant bug movies of the '50s, the many versions of Godzilla (scary, then friendly, then scary again, and so on...), plus Tremors (one of my faves!), Cloverfield, The Host (the Korean one directed by the guy who directed Parasite), Nope (gotta have my space shark), and more. I like the little lists they popped into this one -- "Top 5 Giant Monster Fighters" and "Top 5 Japanese Godzillas." As expected much praise is given to Godzilla Minus One, a movie that truly deserves it.
