Turtle Talkin': Soaring through the Films of Gamera

The authors of Memories from Monster Island bring you another dangerous safari through the wild world of kaiju eiga, the giant monster movies that have held Japan and the rest of the world (but mostly Japan) in thrall for half a century. This time, Travis Kirkland and Luca Saitta travel on down to Atlantis of old to gaze upon the horrifying visage of none other than the Devil's Envoy and Friend to All Children himself: Gamera Yes, he is somehow both. Will city-stomping terror get the best of our intrepid explorers? Or will the rocket turtle's bottom-of-the-bin aesthetic leave them cold as the Arctic fissure that spawned it way back in Daiei Films' 1965 original? Come with us to Rainbow Valley and beyond to find out...
