What Were They Thinking's Nathan Spavold joins in the friend to all children that is Gamera. Often mocked as both a knock-off and rival to other giant Japanese film monsters like Godzilla and reemerging on antenna channel mocking shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000, we discuss all the 70s cheese and superior 90s reimagined material. The 2006 prequel film is also briefly mentioned as well as to speculation on when Gamera might finally get an American remake. Why does Pacific Rim not got a single original soul in its body by taking all the best elements of these films? Why does Gamera scream like an injured rhino/elephant?? And is he a badass or just a friend??? Do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles consider him their icon???? And more turtle power!
