Viewing Notes

Met up with Ron and Shannon for a G-Fest screening at Pickwick in Park Ridge. Sadly this is only film we would be able to see for the event. But if it had to be only one I’m glad it was this movie, which is one of my all-time favorite kaiju films. It’s not a particularly great movie but I was enamored with this movie as a child and watched so many times it was imprinted on me. So happy to see it projected on the big screen all these years later. Even better seeing it with friends in a packed theater full of Kaiju fans.
