Show Notes

Hot on the heels of what many consider the worst Kaiju film of all time, June of 1957 isn’t over yet as we also get the release of “Beginning of the End”. What do the infamous Mr. BIG, cannibalistic bugs and the term “Ultra Low Budget” have in common? Why those are all small sneak peaks at the behind the scenes history of this monstrous movie!

The squeamish may want to skip this film as we have live bugs crawling all over this picture. Thankfully this film is the beginning and the end of primarily using live creatures in Kaiju, but it will still rear up from time to time. Find out when its used next on Kaiju Vs. History.
