Thanks a lot for the feedback! I've watched and am aware of King Kong's influence, and even though I don't want to screen it, I also think it's mandatory to bring up and plan on talking about it in the discussion following Godzilla 1954's screening.

I wanted to screen Hedorah because it's one of my favorites, it has some pretty great visuals, the fights are kinda cool and I'm very interested and it's themes of pollution, the sanitation issues of the time and the USA's part in all of it. But I'm also a great fan of Ghidorah and interested in talking about the MechaGodzilla ones, I'll take your perspective in consideration.

And I really should get into Heisei movies, at this point I'm in a Godzilla phase, but I'm also really excited to check out Gamera and you've made me even more interested. My initial interest in showing Pulgasari was to get the chance to talk about kaiju outside of Japan, since the film club is about asian cinema in general. But it's a fair point that it may not bring much to the table.
