    BONUS: The Weird Star Wars Christmas Album That Time Forgot

    BONUS EPISODE - MERRY CHRISTMAS Support the show on PATREON Buy our MERCH In 1980, Lucasfilm authorized "Christmas in the Stars"—a bizarre holiday album featuring C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), sound effects by Ben Burtt, and a teenage janitor named Jon Bon Jovi.

    GODZILLA '94 - PART 1

    PART 1 OF 2 What if America actually got Godzilla right? Before Roland Emmerich’s 1998 flop, Hollywood nearly made a faithful, epic, and monster-packed Godzilla film — directed by Jan de Bont (Speed) with creature designs by Stan Winston Studios. It had fire breath, giant bat monsters, and a creature that was actually Godzilla. This week, Cambo and Eden dig into the wild story of Godzilla ’94 — a cancelled kaiju epic with exploding glaciers, conspiracy theorists, and a Golden Gate Bridge showdown. Plus: alien probes, burning snow, and Helen Hunt almost fights a griffin. 00:00 - Intro 01:54 - The History of the Project 09:06 - The Story 52:44 - Outro CAST: Danielle Santos Michael Hahn Erion Moore Ben Wagner Dani Siller Jay Zadeh Bill Sunderland SUPPORT THE SHOW: 💸 Support us on Patreon 👕 Buy Cancelled Movie Report Merch 🎬 Suggest a Cancelled Movie 📸 See concept art & storyboards: @cancelledmovies on socials ⭐ Leave a 5-star review to help new listeners find us! 📧 Email: cancelledmovies@gmail.com
