Show Notes
Finally, we finish the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla series! Sorry about the audio distortion in the episode. We removed what we could. Also, Joe's joke about pet owners is a joke and is not meant to be taken seriously... Don't write us about it haha. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/godzillapodcast Discord: discord.gg/cFFx4N5
