Viewing Notes

I’ve seen Invasion of Astro-Monster (aka Monster Zero) before and wanted to re-watch the English/American release before watching the Japanese version. I’m definitely burned out on kaiju flicks at the moment. As cool as this movie is I was continually distracted (prolly doesn’t help that I’ve seen it before). I’m gonna hold off on any more kaiju films for a while.
