  • Ep. 22 - Gunhed (1989) & Orochi, The Eight-Headed Dragon (1994)
    Feb 6 2026

    We’re putting Godzilla aside to take a look at some other big spectacle films from the Heisei Era. On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence take a look at 1989’s Gunhed, directed by Masato Harada, and 1994’s Orochi, The Eight-Headed Dragon, directed by Takao Okawara. The guys determine whether either of these films have anything worthwhile to offer, aside from imaginative production design. There are plenty of thoughts on the stories being told, the model work and puppetry on display, how this stands against other films of the time, and more. Enjoy!
