This news will make some folks excited! It has been awhile since a complete marathon has played celebrating our favorite radio-active monster dragon. And what better network to make it happen than that of Robert Rodriguez, El Rey Network.

El Rey Network is “CINEMATIC TV. BADASS FLICKS. KILLER OPPORTUNITIES. WE SERVE IT ALL UP FOR REBELS, AFICIONADOS AND PASSIONATE CREATORS. KING SIZE CONTENT AND THE CHANCE TO GET YOUR WORK SEEN. RIDE WITH EL REY.” ~ El Rey

A.V. Club reported earlier today: “The El Rey Network, the closest thing millennials have to a low power UHF station, will be running its third annual “Kaiju Christmas” marathon, featuring over 96 hours of the one, the only, Godzilla. The whole thing kicks off Friday, December 23 with the original classic Gorjira (without Raymond Burr), and will wrap up on December 26 with Gigantis, The Fire Monster—er, Godzilla Raids Again.”

The marathon features films from multiple eras of the King Of Monsters, including the darkest film from the Showa series, Terror Of Mechagodzilla, 1989’s Godzilla Vs. Biolante, the second film in the Hesai series, and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S from Toho, which fits in the continuity of the 1954 original. Thankfully, the only appearance of the Tri-Star ’Zilla is when he gets his reptilian ass handed to him by the original Godzilla in 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, the last film in Toho’s Millennium series.

Mike Vanderbilt brilliantly ended with:

With four days of Tokyo-stomping action this holiday season, viewers are sure to see (sing along with us, now):

12 buildings crumbling, 11 Kaiju fighting, 10 people screaming, 9 tanks a- shooting, 8 ignored scientists, 7 radioactive blasts, 6 men in suits, 5 Kilaakians, 4 annoying kids, 3 headed monsters, 2 tiny Shobijin, and the fire-breathing roar of Big G.
