Happy Thursday, everyone! Sorry I'm a bit late this week but work has been...weird in this liminal space between New Years and Christmas. But hey, let's get to it!

I indulged myself and picked up the Criterion Collection of Godzilla: The Showa-Era Film, 1954-1975. A huge box set of the 15 movies in that time period, it's been dinged a bit for not getting the best transfers (apparently Toho balked at giving Criterion their best prints) but hey at least now I have all of those Godzilla movies together.
And jeez, look at all those extras (including alternate cuts of some of the movies for American markers). And I was not expecting an interview with Sid & Nancy director Alex Cox about his love for the series.
Seriously, it's huge. Godzilla is streaming on HBO Max, as are some of the other films here (there's apparently a whole bundle of rights for various movies in the USA so you have to dig around a bit).

Night Gallery was Rod Serling's follow up to The Twilight Zone, one with more of a horror bent. Sadly, it's not streaming anywhere right now so I was really happy to find all these seasons in one place. I've never seen a lot of these, but I have seen highlights like the debut episode, the directorial debut of Steven Spielberg (who amusingly, got along famously with infamously supposedly difficult Joan Crawford, I imagine because he treated her with some respect unlike a lot of her co-stars and directors).
This video of Spielberg talking about the experience is a lot of fun.
