HAPPY NEW YEAR OF THE HORSE, EVERYONE!
Better late then never, even as 2026 is kind of getting off on a bad start.

Artwork I did for author John LeMay's upcoming issue of THE LOST FILMS FANZINE RETURNS ANNUAL 2026, featuring an article by Nicholas Driscoll on "King Gorion": an unproduced monster-adventure-movie from Toho, written by "Godzilla" scribe Shigeru Kayama which was also serialized in "Shonen Club" around the same time.

You can order said fanzine through John's Amazon page:

The most overlooked of the three live-streams I did with MESSAGE FROM SPACE (1978) with my friend Brayton resulting in a pretty talkative commentary of facts and jokes. Check it out while it last: www.twitch.tv/videos/2654067150

For your lazy Sunday movie dates, here's a decent-quality VHS recording of DIGBY, THE BIGGEST DOG IN THE WORLD (1973), a British family-comedy film in which an innocent pet Sheepdog becomes a gigantic nuisance thanks to a poorly thought-out space exploration experiment.

https://youtu.be/00S38L6xtmk

The film was based on the 1960 novel The Biggest Dog in the World by Ted Key, cartoonist and creator of Peabody's Improbable History. Hence, this film comes off like a spiritual offshoot of a Jay Ward cartoon with dashes of Disney and Monty Python thrown in for good measure.

Wyn, Lydia, and Brayton join Raf for a live-watch and running commentary for ATTACK OF THE SUPER MONSTERS, a 1982 direct-to-video compilation comprised of episodes from the 1977 Japanese series DINOSAUR WAR IZENBORG, produced by Tsuburaya Productions (Ultraman, Gridman the Hyper Agent, Daigoro vs. Goliath, etc.).

The evil Emperor Tyrannus, ruler of a subterranean race of telepathic dinosaurs, begins a war against Humanity, a surface-dwelling race of roughly animated cartoons. Fortunately for the anime masses, the heroic Gemini Command are inexplicably ready to battle the gigantic invaders and their drafted sub-armies of mind-controlled killer regular animals.

Original Airdate: September 19th, 2024 (Thursday).

I watched MESSAGE FROM SPACE three times this month!

Tried doing a live-watch of Message from Space on my YouTube, pretty good attempt during the watch itself minus the p**s poor post-show chatter:

Later, GojiShay joins me for a live-watch of Message from Space and then I ruin it with an episode of Ultraman Taro featuring Mochiron!

Stream will be up to revisit until next Friday, if not sooner.

AND FINALLY, Brayton forced me at gun point to watch and comment over Message from Space - contact me if you want the (mostly) uncut and unedited stream.

NOT kaiju-related but for anyone who likes cheesy / creepy television from the early 1990s and ufology (the study of UFOs and alien encounters) might want to check out the latest episode of Secrets of the Unknown uploaded and archived to my channel:

Announcing this early for some (hopeful, if any) hype: For this upcoming Christmas Eve, I'll be doing a late night live watch of the 1978 Japanese space opera MESSAGE FROM SPACE with personal commentary and read comments from the audience chat (if any).

WARNING: SCHEDULE IS SUSPECT TO CHANGE!

Astratta Galassia is a giant mercenary from unknown regions of the galaxy who can best be described, simply, as a complete weirdo — a confusing combination of brightly-colored mechanical weapons and biological metals, bleeping and blinking a strange language that even the most brilliant of interplanetary linguists cannot translate, let alone contemplate at a most basic level.

Astratta Galassia's role as a mercenary is also conjecture at best, based on how often 'she' appears from out of nowhere and just teams up with other jumbo-sized villains for no apparent reason or reward beyond just starting chaos for the sake of it.

Upon achieving victory, the hovering monstrosity will simply teleport away, float straight into the skies above like a poorly animated cartoon sight gag, or suddenly turn on her fellow villain, eventually defeating her partner in combat only to, again, disappear or fly away right after.

Even Astratta Galassia's gender and name are likely misnomers, given to her by the people of Milan, Italy, upon her first appearance back in the summer of 1960, as her name translates into 'Abstract Galaxy' in English.

Among the metallic creature's arsenal includes a jamming single from her antenna, a temporary freeze ray from her supposed 'nose stock', gravity-disruptors from the green-glowing cubes located on her 'chest', a comically weak heat beam from the strange eye-shaped attachment on top of her upper thimble-like body, and, last but no least, just ramming into people, creatures, and buildings with the fumbling subtlety of a malfunctioning wreaking ball.

COMMENTARY: This character was inspired by some of the weirder alien and creature designs of 1960s science fiction, namely ones who feel (and look) like surreal sculptures strung up on strings and waved around the film set.

Bullton from Ultraman: Passport to Infinity (1966), The Polarites from Missoin Mars (1968), the beastly hologram from The Terrornauts (1967), various robots from Doctor Who, and the more comedic (stupid) alien designs from The Twilight Zone as prime examples.

From the Discover Magazine television series, The Last Neanderthal discusses... Neanderthals! Sorry, I really have nothing else for this upload, but it's a nearly lost documentary and, IF IT ISN'T, it sure feels that way when trying to find anything about this special through the Hellish wasteland known as Google Search. ENJOY!
