Godzilla, Gamera and everything in between


















Another tasty Hyper Kitchen movie morsel served up with characteristic flare. I recommend a trip to the Hyper Kitchen blog’s latest entry which covers Japanese monsters movie Godzilla, Gamera and everything in between

On one side stands Godzilla, the Kaiju world's Coca-Cola. Ubiquitous and influential, Godzilla was the one that really got the ball rolling. On the other side stands Gamera, the Pepsi-esqe rival that quickly evolved from mere imitator into a enduring pop-culture presence in its own right. In the between the two are scores and scores of lesser known creatures, equally adept at smashing skyscrapers and crunching tanks beneath their giant feet, but unable to reach the fame that the aforementioned reptiles have achieved. These are the Shastas and the RC Colas and the Faygos; basically as fun but often overlooked.
