Earth Destruction Directive 88 — “You Cheeky Pig!”

“He’s stupid, but at the same time cunning.” This time out on Earth Destruction Directive, we are taking a look at the film which gave this show its name! More notorious for the behind camera story than the one we got on-screen, it’s Godzilla vs Gigan, AKA Earth Destruction Directive: Gojira tai Gaigan! When alien cockroaches choose Earth as their new home, they have a plan to deal with the Earth’s monters… building a theme park? Luckily our heroes — a struggling artist, his black belt girlfriend, a young girl, and her hippie friend — are here to save the day! … Oh boy. Luckily, I can think of no better cohost to take a look at this film than Nathan Marchand, curator of the Monster Island Film Vault! So let’s ride to the top of Godzilla Tower and play the control tapes, download, and enjoy!
