302. Gamera (1965)

Decent episode. Though if any Kaiju were to end up in my Best Of collection it would be Barugon. No screechy kids in that one.

It’s interesting that the riffs openly connect Kenny to Damien and other legendary child evil-doers from Western movies. But the original story stops short of that, unless some of it was lost in translation. Nothing supernatural seems to motivate Kenny or create his emotional connection to either standard or super-size turtles. It’s just a thing he does. I also wonder what the stones had to do with it all. Maybe he wanted to have cairn materials handy in case he had to bury another pet? I dunno’…

(P.S. - If there’s a badge for people who constantly post their own links to posts they already wrote earlier, I’m determined to get it. ) :grinning:
