With 5+ years of content (and no plans to stop!) I have to make sure MONSTERS CONQUER THE WORLD is actually, you know, navigable. The old “Monsters and Articles” dropdown menu on the main page sidebar and footer is fun, but it’s not necessarily the most efficient way to get around! Wouldn’t it be handy to be able to jump straight to the review for Godzilla vs. Hedorah or Galgameth instead of sifting through a million different monsters, media, article types, etc.? Hence, this thing! For now it’s just going to be a big ugly list of films (and TV shows) sorted by series and in order of release, with links to reviews where applicable (click here episodes of the Monsters Conquer the World Podcast). In the near(ish) future I’d love to dress this up into something a little prettier and more versatile. For now, it’s another (hopefully more convenient?) way to access older content! Plus the un-reviewed stuff that’s listed serves as a (partial, ever-growing) to-do list for yours truly… if there’s something you’re dying to see added to the pile, let me know!
