- Added an Interview with Todd Tennant to the Blog
- To note, we have also fixed a mistranslated detail on the bios for Rodan [Showa Series] and Baragon [Showa Series] in relation to Rodan raising the smaller Baragon. It's a bit of egg on our face, but this was incorrect. The book was relating that the creature was raised on Monster Land, the latter being misinterpreted as "monster Rodan" (Rando ~ Radon). It's one of those occasions where I'm glad we are a website, rather than print for example, that allows us to correct mistakes. Joshua Sudomerski deserves the credit for addressing this as well, going above and beyond to verify and finding out that the detail was incorrect.

- Updated the Influences and Remakes of Toho Films in the Blog
- Also please note that we are in the process of updating both the blog and the front of the site, as can be seen. Issues on the blog, as we convert entries, should be many but will be ironed out in time. In particular, body text is gonna appear too small and title text way too big... one of many things we are working on.

- Added Urban Legends: Godzilla + Seven Samurai = Bankruptcy? to the Blog. It's been widely reported for many years now that the simultaneous shooting of Seven Samurai and Godzilla (1954) nearly bankrupted Toho. But now, it's time for some persepective on this rather apocryphal story. Special thanks to Stuart Galbraith IV for his contribution to this piece.

- Added Anzukko (1958) to the Movies and also added a review for this Mikio Naruse film to the Movie Reviews. I was hoping to share these with you sooner, but now that the outage has been taken care of (thanks again to our host for resolving the situation), here they are!

- Well... the site just experienced its worst outage in a decade, if not longer if one ignores times we have switched hosts. The outage lasted for over 48 hours, almost the entire weekend and a lot of Friday. This was something that was host related. It was regrettable, but at least the host reached out to me, proactively, before I even contacted them about the issue. In all honesty, even though the situation was frustrating, the host did try their hardest, basically having sleepless nights on their part trying to get it up with constant communication. When the site came back but the forums were having issues, the CEO of the company personally responded about it as well, which was a nice touch.
Overall, it was a bad incident made better by the way the host handled it and hopefully an isolated incident, as they have been reliable leading up to this. Anyway, apologies to everyone for the downtime. The amount of emails, texts, social posts and others was touching but also sad to always give the bad news at the time that we didn't know when we would be back... at any rate, the site is totally back now and on to the regular updates.
- Added a Japanese poster to Attack on Titan (2015) in the Movies
- Added trivia to Throne of Blood (1957) in the Movies
- Updated the DVD and Blu-ray release dates... belated in doing so as the title comes out tomorrow

- New article, in before the scheduled maintenance! No doubt all of you have heard the story that Akira Ifukube turned down the job of scoring The Return of Godzilla (1984) by stating: "I do not write music for 80-meter monsters!" Well, as it turns out, that story might not have been true. Special thanks to film historian Ed Godziszewski and Ifukube biographer Erik Homenick for their contributions to this article Urban Legends: "I Do Not Write Music for 80-Meter Monsters!" now available to read in the Blog!
