Back when I was growing up, TNT's Monstervision Godzilla and Giant Japanese Monster marathons were the stuff of legends. Seems like one summer they must have had a Godzilla weekend every other month. It was good times, good times indeed. Especially because this was just before Godzilla and other Kaiju movies were readily available, which meant these TBS and TNT versions were as good as it got. Sadly once AOL/Time Warner fully took control of Turner's stuff it all went in the toilet. Godzilla and wrasslin' weren't deemed good enough for the execs even if they got high ratings. But to celebrate those old days when Giant Japanese Monsters ruled the world, it's time for JAPANESE MONSTER WEEK!

All next week we're going to be looking at Godzilla and all his friends including Gamera, Gigan and many more! I'll have toy reviews, movie news, toy news and all the Kaiju you can handle. Giant mutants hammer Tokyo all week long! It's a seven day bash guaranteed to bring down the house!

To prepare for the big Japanese Monster Week, I did a little homage to my favorite TNT Monstervision Godzilla video. Check it out!


BE HERE NEXT WEEK!
