Peanut-headed Pliosaur

Hold onto your Jet Skis, because Dinoshark is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M..

Review in a Nutshell:  A fun little creature feature with decent production values, Dinoshark is one of the better low-budget, prehistoric aquatic predator movies.

This movie contains:

Sunglasses + Binoculars

Hey, look, a helicopter!

Authentic Military-grade Hardware.

No Breakfast Cereal for You, Gillman!

Charge up the Aqualungs, because Creature from the Black Lagoon is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Originally a gimmicky 3D horror film, Creature from the Black Lagoon has aged surprisingly well, taking on layers of environmental allegory as newer generations interpret the film.  The special effects and underwater photography are especially strong, but don’t discount the human drama or the sad, lonely state of the movie’s persecuted monster.

The Mega-Low Down on the Megalodon in Mallorca.

Fuel up the helicopter, because Shark Attack in the Mediterranean is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M., the Mistress of Malapropisms.

Review in a Nutshell:  A perfect storm of hilarious dubbing and scenes lifted from other, bigger movies, Shark Attack in the Meditarranean, aka Shark Alarm off Mallorca, features surprisingly good CG sharks and the charming antics of bodybuilder-turned-actor Ralf Moeller.  As always, M.O.M. loves the scenery.

Brontosaurus gonna EAT YOU!!!

Load up the tranquilizer guns, because Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend is the “Greatest” Movie EVER.

Click on the poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M. and some embarrassing childhood stories.

Review in a Nutshell:   Slow, ponderous, and not particularly bright … and that’s not describing the dinosaurs!  I loved this movie as a kid; I had terrible taste.

Bakshi, Barbarians, and Buffalo Shots

Hold onto your broadswords, because Fire and Ice is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Gerald “Badonkadonk” Rathkolb of AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell:  With an uninspiring storyline and an odd visual aesthetic, Fire and Ice skates by on the strengths of Frank Frazetta’s design.  Be warned:  negative stereotypes and gratuitous booty abound.

Parental Training for Atomic Reptiles

Activate the weather control balloons, because Son of Godzilla is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring the return of M.O.M.!

Review in a Nutshell:  A film that includes baby dinosaur shenanigans, tropical hijinks, and rampaging arthropods, Son of Godzilla is one of the goofier entries in the Showa series.  Many fans revile it for the introduction of the titular character, but the film is still something of a guilty pleasure here at the Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast.

This movie contains:

SCIENCE!

The true peril of giant arachnid research.

ARGH!  KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Nap-Time for Monsters

Break out the bibs and butter, because Godzilla vs the Sea Monster is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download the review.

Review in a Nutshell:  Godzilla hackey-sacks with a giant shrimp.  What more do you want?

This movie contains:

You don’t have to be evil to sport an eyepatch, but it helps.

JUMBO SHRIMP!

Is that Godzilla, or a Stoned  Cookie Monster?

ERRATA:  “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” was actually released in 1969, so Godzilla vs the Sea Monster was actually blazing trails.

Respekdagater!

Hold onto your hair-plugs, because Alligator is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  Humorous and horrific, tightly edited and carefully paced, Alligator is the giant reptile movie that all the others imitate.  Accept no substitutes!

This movie contains:

Robert Forster, the World’s Unluckiest Cop.

Henry Silva, Great White Hunter.

Male Pattern Baldness.

Gators Crashin’ Your Garden Party.

Terror-dactyl!

No, it’s not an obscure but terrifying poetic form, it’s Q, the Winged Serpent, the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  This movies is BAD.  Really, really bad.  No, I’m serious.  It’s bad.  Even the presence of David Carradine and Richard Roundtree cannot salvage this film. 

On the plus side, Claymation dragon-dinosaur.
