Godzilla vs. Hedorah (2021)

What’s that? Didn’t I already cover Godzilla vs. Hedorah back in July? Sure did. But this year we got quite a treat as part of Toho’s celebration of Godzilla Day on November 3rd, honoring 67 years of Godzilla, and Hedorah’s 50th anniversary. The event is essentially a merchandizing festival, but in addition some interesting hot sauces, Toho released a short film with actual suitmation featuring everyone’s favorite psychedelic induced fever dream of an anti-pollution allegory: Hedorah! Toho had put out an even shorter film last year that was kind of fun, but this one is much more involved. It’s been five years since the release of Shin Godzilla in 2016, and this a welcome little gem for fans of practical effects and suitmation. They apparently took it down from the official account, but luckily it’s been preserved by RickDaSquirrel over on Youtube, enjoy!
