Gamera vs. Viras and Gamera vs. Jiger.

I think it's a shame that the original show wasn't able to do these two movies to complete the Showa era Gamera movies. I'd like to see Jonah and the bots do these movies in Season 13. How likely do you think that is?

It depends on how much say Kadokawa has over the Gamera character in the US, which might not be as iron fist as Toho but could still be strict.

I do know that Destroy All Planets has had a lot of public domain releases. There might be a slight possibility on that one, but no true guarantees.

Not gonna happen, sadly. Kadokawa won't let their properties be ridiculed. It's a cultural thing.

Shout! lucked out when they could license the Gamera films from JoyPlex (a third party that at the time had the rights to the films), but now they'd have to work directly with Kadokawa.

Still, it'd be really nice.

Like a world without war and traffic accidents...

Technically possible but thanks to inertia almost certainly not likely anytime soon...

Well, it could happen. It's just a matter of talking to the right people and bringing the right amount of cash. With Netflix backing the show, that might be possible. In any case, let's keep a good thought.

For the record, Rifftrax released a riff of Gammera, the Invincible just this very year, which is likely because that version of the film is public domain I think. That might be a further example that Destroy All Planets might be doable. The problem would be finding an HD print of that version to please the showrunners.

Gamera vs. Monster X/Jiger and Super Monster Gamera are likely far out of the question though.
