I've seen these movies, I believe only once or twice. When I saw them I assumed they were late 60's-early '70's. Definite extra credit for them.

The Mysterians is a good movie. I'm just not into it. Matango is INCREDIBLE! I have yet to see the others. Subbed foreign movies are always best! Dubbed movies can change dialogue which can change important plot points.

I just really love the presentation and aesthetic of this channel. The 480p and still shot just bring me back to a simpler happier time. I don't even know anything about these movies, this is just pleasant.

Hi J. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed these; nice work on organizing, writing, editing and presentation. Will keep an eye out for the Mysterians and the others related to it. Have an awesome week.

I always enjoy your astute analyses of Japanese genre films. Glad you were finally able to view a good copy of The Mysterians. It makes all the difference when it comes to savoring that lush Tohoscope spectacle. A lot of folks tend to find Atragon rather dry although the underlining message is suitably profound and engaging i.mo. Toho forced Ishiro Honda to include the sea serpent Manda although, again i.m.o., the movie needed it. I always secretly hoped Toho might have got around to making a Godzilla vs. Dogura. If nothing else it would've been visually striking with possibly a more engaging story.

Oh, and yes if I saw Mogera walking down the street towards me I would indeed be terrified. Starstruck but terrified.

Great post as always! I'm happy to see you are using The Criterion Channel. I know you get hundreds of recommendations but be sure to check out at least one Seijun Suzuki film while you have it. Mr. S makes some of the best B grade crime noirs with a very creative style and some pretty bonkers stuff. I bet you'll become a long term Criterion subscriber. Their search feature isn't that good. Subscribing to their free monthly newsletter is quite helpful.

THANK YOU so much for reviewing these quadruple Ishiro Honda / Toho movies. DOGORA is actually my # 1 favorite. () Mainly due to two of my favorite actors being in it: Yosuke Natsuki as the detective Komai and Akiko Wakabayashi as the diamond thieves female member. One could get lost watching this because, I do feel, Dogora is unseen throughout the story until the last twenty minutes of the film. The robberies of the diamonds and coal baffles both the police and diamond robbers. Of course, this causes both the heroes and villains of the film to ponder on who done it.

I do own all four of these movies on physical media in its original Japanese dialogue. In continuing with the rankings, I would say my second favorite is The Mysterians (I love the feel and look of the late 1950's Toho movies), third is Atragon and fourth is Matango. yes, Matango is the creepiest Toho movie that I have ever seen from that time period.

I did meet Robert Dunham from Dogora a little over 20 years ago at a convention. Actually, he approached me to ask me a question! That was a big WHOA! moment for me. I can't get into too much detail about our conversation due to me already writing too much here. I would like to comment more about the movies you reviewed as well. However, thank you, as always, for your work and dedication to reviewing these wonderful classic movies.

Thanks for the video. I'm glad you're enjoying the Criterion Channel. They have quite a few Toho pictures on there, beyond the monster/sci-fi stuff.
Keep up the good work.
