Another pair of matching shirts for me and the boy, just before we went on a kayaking adventure:

Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack (Rewatch)

I finally picked this up on Blu-ray. It comes with Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla.

Zone Fighter Episode 1: Destroy the Terror-Beast Missile

Zone what? What is this? Those were my words when I looked over my son’s shoulder to see this clip: https://youtu.be/-N8SfF2IXaU “Zone fighter, dad. It’s Godzilla and Gigan.” “Yeah, but who’s that other guy? That looks like Ultra Man.” “That’s not Ultra Man. He’s Zone Fighter.” I’ve repeated that the boy is beginning to know…
