Space Amoeba (1970) with Chris Cummins

Oh no, your plans for a remote beach resort have been derailed by a microbiotic space alien that possesses people and makes sea creatures grow real big! Chris Cummins (Archie Comics, Sci-Fi Explosion) joins us for no one's favorite kaiju film -- but a fun one with loveable cuttlefish, crab, and turtle kaiju nevertheless, and a very important one to the history of Godzilla. We talk about the fraught production plagued by Eiji Tsubaraya's death, Ishiro Honda's disillusionment, and Toho being an evil corporation. Plus, a game of FMK with Gezora, Ganimes, and Kamoebas!
