Max AlmonteIt's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.
Today's movie was: The Secret of the Telegian / 電送人間 (1960)
Apparently a successor to The H-Man (1958), it also features a shape-shifting human. Directed by Jun Fukuda, the #film is a serious work from start to finish, beautifully shot too, nothing to do with the characteristic goofiness of his later films. Looking at you, Son of Godzilla (1967).
I give it 3½/5 Kaiju

WYM ModHeather exposes Dr. Mehmet Oz's concerning claims about ACA premiums. Oz dismissed a 115% rise as "$13 more," falsely stating Kaiser Family Foundation retracted data. In reality, premiums would more than double without subsidies, highlighting potential impacts of certain policies. Discover the truth behind these claims. #AffordableCareAct #Healthcare #Politics #KFF #ACA https://crooksandliars.com/2025/10/dr-mehmet-oz-blatantly-lies-kff-retractedhttps://crooksandliars.com/2025/10/dr-mehmet-oz-blatantly-lies-kff-retracted
It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.
Today's movie was: Varan the Unbelievable (1962)
The Americanization of Varan (1958), and unlike Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) — which uses body doubles to convince you the new main character was always there — and Gigantis, the Fire Monster (1959) — which mostly changes dialog — this one uses only around 10 minutes of the original #film.
I give it 1½/5 Kaiju

It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.
Today's movie was: Gigantis, the Fire Monster (1959)
This #film is the Americanization of Godzilla Raids Again (1955), and unlike Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) they don't go to the trouble of changing the plot, introducing body doubles, and trying to deceive the audience. The dubbing turns what was a bad movie into an unwatchable one.
I give it 1½/5 Kaiju

Today's movie was: Godzilla, King of the Monsters! / 怪獣王ゴジラ (1956)
October isn't finished and neither am I!
This #film is an Americanization of Godzilla (1954), and a quite competent one if I might say so myself. With heavy use of body doubles and dubbed audio, it tries to gaslight you into believing the main character was there all along.
I give it 3/5 Kaiju

Shout-out to everyone who took part of #Kaijuktober #film festival (#KFF) 2025 in any way shape or form, be it sharing their thoughts and/or nuggets on the movies, or just reading the endless stream of trash I wrote about them.
I want to equally give a shout-out to those who, although didn't participate, had to deal with my stuff constantly spamming the hell outta their timeline, and yet, didn't resort to blocking me. You da real MVP 👑
It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.
Today's movie was: Terror of Mechagodzilla / メカゴジラの逆襲 (1975)
#Toho's last #film from the showa era was a sequel to the infamous Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974). Aliens, robots, international spies, and kaiju are back, but the ancient deities are noticeably missing. Director Ishirō Honda did as much as he could with the hand he was dealt: not much.
I give it 2½/5 Kaiju

Today's movie was: Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla / ゴジラ対メカゴジラ (1974)
#Toho's second to last #film from the showa era features ancient gods, giant robots, aliens, and international spies — needless to say, kaiju too.
This mess, which I like to refer to as "the pinnacle of absurdity" was of course directed by Jun Fukuda...
I give it 2½/5 Kaiju
