Bonus: Tiny Toons Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation (1992) feat. KashCast

In defiance of the technical difficulties and inner turmoil that plagued Demolition Daiei this week, Wyatt decided to pull together an episode from out of thin air with friend of the show Kash and talk about... the Tiny Toons Adventures movie! While it has zero to do with our main podcast, it's sort of related to our Patreon series Smile, Darn Ya, Smile! which you can access at our 5 dollar tier. This episode's a fun time and we hope you all enjoy. Sorry for the late upload this weekend, things should be back to normal now, we just had to really scramble this week.

Episode 33: Gamera vs Barugon (1966)

Wyatt and Nicky dive into the deadly jungle that is talking about Gamera's first sequel: 1966's GAMERA VS BARUGON. With a different director in tow, Daiei decided to change up the vibe and lean closer to their contemporaries. Listen and find out how we felt about that and more in this episode of DEMOLITION DAIEI. Maybe the production wasn't nearly as hellish! Who knows! Follow us on twitter!
