This is, in fact, a \u201cremake\u201d of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/index.php\/2024\/03\/22\/episode-87-yongary-monster-from-the-deep-vs-neil-riebe\/\">Yongary, Monster from the Deep<\/a><\/em>, and it&#8217;s often called \u201c<em>The Room<\/em>&nbsp;of kaiju films.\u201d But Elijah says it\u2019s more than that. He even goes so far as to say that if it wasn\u2019t for this movie, the world wouldn&#8217;t have BTS or <em>Squid Game<\/em>. How? Listen to find out!
