   Folks we're a little less than half an hour to #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Get your hashtag filter ready if you want to avoid it!

   If you wanna join in, this week we're watching GODZILLA (1998), the truly awful American one. Apparently this Godzilla is an irradiated iguana created by the French, so I'm sure this is gonna be a completely normal movie.

   The flick's available for free with ads over on Tubi right here: https://tubitv.com/movies/694144/godzilla

   Or you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/godzilla.-1998.-uhd.-1080p.-blu-ray.x-264.-dd-5.1

   Just hit play at the top of the hour and toot along! See you there! :D
