We were aware that Frank was recently featured on comedian Paul Gilmartin’s “Mental Illness Happy Hour” but since the podcast deals almost entirely with Frank’s personal issues, we hesitated to post a link to it.

Weekend Discussion Thread: All Things Gamera

It’s been a pretty Gamera-centric week in MSTiedom, for obvious reasons, so let’s round out the week with a full on discussion of the new set, your favorite episodes and your favorite moments from the TEN Gamera eps (including KTMA), the original movies (which is your favorite?) and anything else Gamera-related.

By the way, as promised the episode guide entries for the first two Gamera episodes in season three are still open if you were waiting for the set to see them and comment.

To get you in the mood, several takes on the Gamera theme song.
