It's time for Minilla to teach us about bullying! Vicki from Glitterjaw's Novel Gamingjoins us for this children's fantasy about a latchkey kid getting into Home Alone shenanigans and learning to stand up for himself thanks to his imaginary adventures on Monster Island. As Godzilla swerves hard into low-budget children's fare, we talk about this film's unfairly maligned reputation, the use of stock footage (and why it's not a bad thing), the lessons that do and don't hold up, and that little punk Gabara!
