This movie has two audio tracks - the first one goes with the movie and the other contains commentary by critic David Kalat. Never heard of him. Link in comments.
I have 2 of these. Gojira, original Japanese release sans Ironside Perry Mason and, of course, in Japanese and this one. Tis funny to watch the original and then see what the Ugly American does with it.....Raymond Burr is definitely a Tour de Force.
Thanks. I've had some fun noticing how you repeatedly see Raymond trapped in a crowd of six looking anxiously stage-right at some horror. The horror of fixing it in Post don't you know.
KING OF THE MONSTERS is a stone cold classic! It's amazing to compare to any other film of the time that was "Americanized" because they actually cared and put some effort into making it work. Sure, it's not GOJIRA, but nobody was going to just release that with subtitles in the U.S. in the 1950's!

Ironsides to the rescue!
Kuku; I don't have those titles, lossless or otherwise. Oh well.
Ebay has Superconductor as a CD and it is signed by Andy Allo! Go get it while you may, Kuku! Wow!
