🎥 Movies of 2021, 34: Invasion of Astro-Monster. The kid wanted a man-in-suit Godzilla movie that included aliens. No shortage of those! Though I think this is the first time the two were combined on film.

The reviews on Letterboxd show a lot of love for this one, but it wasn’t my thing. It takes forever for Godzilla to appear, and there’s no sustained monster action until the very end of the film. The design and sound are great, but the plot left me snoozing.

Drinking game idea: take a drink every time Nick Adams unbuttons his blazer, tugs up his pants and then puts his hands on his hips.
