## Resource

Chaos in Tokyo when two Gargantuas battle for the soul of a nation. Or at least dibs on dessert. Because that's right - the BAD Gargantua EATS people and the GOOD Gargantua tries to stop him. And guess what else? They're BROTHERS! AND they're technically mutated bits of Frankenstein DNA! AND... AND... you'll just have to see for yourself in this kaiju flick featuring the combined powers of Honda, Tsuburaya, and Ifukube. BUT IS IT WORTH THE OVERUSE OF ALL-CAPS?! That's the battle right there. Plus, Russ Tamblyn vs. Nick Adams, the International vs. the U.S. dub, Gargantuas vs. Frankensteins, Peter Lorre, the Answering Machine Zone, Bugs Bunny, and much more in this gargantuan episode!
