Probably the most I've ever laughed at someone unboxing a toy (an admittedly low bar).

Thats great

Here's a brilliant review by our very own Mekagoji3k

^ His first toy review is my favorite so far:

I laugh both when he confidently says untrue things and when he pauses to come up with a new untrue thing. Both ways are funny.

I lost it at "Bette Midler from Hocus Pocus"!

A fun review of Shin Godzilla with some really nice animation:

It kills me that some fans are losing their **** that Funimation invested time and money in a dub instead of (in their view) using that money in acquiring the extras from the Japanese release. I've heard this a dozen times at this point and it's like, okay: you don't care about dubs, but a dub is pretty much essential for such a popular property as Godzilla. Every single previous Godzilla film has been dubbed and every single Japanese Godzilla movie released in the future will almost certainly be dubbed by either a distributor or someone on behalf of Toho. Godzilla appeals to a wide range of people, many of whom aren't your typical subtitle-loving foreign film or anime fans. Kids love Godzilla movies and they largely prefer dubs. The films will be shown on TV and streaming sites eventually and the casuals there will often prefer dubbed. Not having a dub is stupidly limiting for something like a Godzilla movie and any distributor that would have acquired it instead of Funimation would also have dubbed it!

SpaceHunterM is in the middle of what will go down in history as the definitive Godzilla movie ranking.

Truly we live in the golden age of the fandom.

[klen7]

Thats great. His Gigan review should have been a point higher, otherwise I can get behind this ranking

^I'm loving the smattering of comments the videos have. A few don't know it's a joke and are enthusiastically agreeing, a few are just angered...

[O.Supreme]

^ I get it's a joke, but that seems like way too much work to post 31 different videos just to say Tokyo SOS is his least favorite. I thought for sure 1998's Godzilla would have had 0/10 heh...

[lhb412]

^Man, have you checked out the rest of his channel? Dude frequently goes a long way to do something he finds funny, but most folks would just find bizarre.

He also post dub comparisons and stuff that are really interesting.

[O.Supreme]

Yeah I have, I noticed that he and our very own Hman reference each other. He's more of a comedian which is fine, but I appreciate Hmans insight on dub comparisons.

That is sad. The dub was the first thing I watched when I got the Blu Ray. Unfortunately for the entirety of the Heisei & Millennium series (sans 1985 & 2000), we have had to endure Toho's international dubs which are not the greatest...I've missed the glory days of Titra etc... But this dub Funimation produced was really impressive. Probably the best since Godzilla vs The Smog Monster IMHO.

I hadn't heard these Godzilla, King of the Monsters! radio spots before. Another treasure via SpaceHunterM:

[O.Supreme]

That reminds me...I've had Attack of the Supermonsters on my hard drive forever...I really need to watch that soon. This of course is the best argument for the reason why kaiju should not talk

^It's the Twin Peaks opening made with WotG footage. Russ Tamblyn was in the original two seasons of Twin Peaks in '90 - '91, and returned for the (extremely belated) Season 3 this year.

Don't know how to imbed a twitter video, but here's a recently uncovered gem: a Godzilla vs. Ultraman sketch from a '80s Japanese comedy show - special appearance by Science Patrolman Arashi!

So, just for grins, I tried calling that number. It just had a message stating "This is a national telemarketing company" press 1 if you believe you have dialed correctly. --I get enough bogus calls as it is, I didn't want to give anther company a legit excuse to call me back . I didn't think the number would actually work, but sometimes you get some humorous results. There is an original Nintendo game that asks you to call a phone number for tips or some such thing, and now that number is a phone sex line (I saw it on AVGN ) .
