The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the Godzilla film franchise. We hear tell that it's the longest running movie franchise in history, and it's got a huge following all over the world. It's also got some hits and some misses, and we might name a few names there. So many movies, so much destruction, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual cracking ourselves up, as well as our picks of the week.
Announcements:
Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays at our local comic shop (A Galaxy Called Dallas in Garland, TX); details on Facebook & Twitter to come soon
What we're up to this week:
The Kickstarter for Boston Metaphysical Society: The Spirit of Rebellion is live now, and runs through Feb. 22, so get out there and back it!
