Thought I'd post some fun stuff going on this 4th of July.
Picked up some films from Ebay.
1984....(1956) Never saw this version of this film. Only saw the 1984 version of 1984 with John Hurt and Richard Burton. Should be interesting.
Destination Inner Space (1966) saw it once when I was a kid, now I barely remember it. Amphibian aliens!
Here's what the IMDB says...
Strange goings on at the site of an experimental underwater laboratory as a mysterious object of unknown origin is detected in the area. A group of researchers investigate and come face to face with the object, a large automated extraterrestrial probe. They board the craft and discover a small object at first considered to be some sort of instrument package, which they take back to the lab for closer inspection. It is then that events take a turn for the worse
Navy vs. The Night Monsters (1966) This I remember! The film that made me join the Navy! Unfortunately when I got in there was no Mamie Van Doren or said Night Monsters..damn recruiter! Still a great little piece of 60's B-movie magic.
Here's the plot from IMDB...
Operation Deep Freeze, a scientific expedition to Antarctica discovers unusual tree specimens. When specimens are shipped out for further study, the trees are accidentally introduced to a south seas Navy base, soon revealing themselves to be killer, acid-secreting monsters that live by night.
You know your screwed with acid-spewing plants!

I love this film and have since I saw it when I was a kid.
Also found out on a very reliable blog http://augustragone.blogspot.com/ that in 2009 these Toho Classics will be released on DVD.
Mothra (1961)
Battle in Outer Space (1959)
and
H-Man (1958)
Holy Shit!
Yeah that's what I said too. The H-Man?!?!
I love this movie! I've had a boot of it for years. I even watched about a week ago.
It's basically a cop movie with a monster running though it from time to time.
Just like Dagora The Space Monster.
These films feature some of Eiji Tsuburaya best effects that, for me anyway, still hold-up to this day!
Ten years ago I'd never thought I'd own these on DVD! I hope that Sony releases Gorath (1962)....with the giant walrus intact. That would be pretty damn cool. What's after that? The Human Vapor from 1960?
On the podcast front
New episode on Monday as we check out the big comic events at Marvel and DC.
Till then Happy fourth!
