Join us to celebrate the King of the Monsters!

Godzilla first roared and smashed into Japanese movie theaters in 1954 and for the last 70 years, he has been a global pop culture icon with over 35 film projects and a revolving cast of monster friends and foes including Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla. Godzilla has meant many things across his numerous interpretations, from being a metaphor for nuclear war or environmental neglect to a hero and friend of humanity against interstellar invaders.

We are proud to welcome our special guest, Richard Cox,  a Digital Technology Consultant at the UNCG Library, a Godzilla/kaiju artifact collector, and co-founder of the ClubTokyo.org. Richard will be showcasing a mini-museum of Godzilla collectibles followed by a screening of the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.

The film is not rated but is recommended for ages 13 and over and runs for 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Registration for this event is not required but space may be limited. Popcorn and drinks will be provided while supplies last.
