Monsters Invade Expo '70!

In our conversation with Michael Darragh in episode 5, I mention a Japanese monster movie that took place at Expo 70.

I have found information on it:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065755/

In Japan, it was called Gamera tai Daimaju Jaiga. Alternative titles include "Gamera vs. Giger," "Gamera vs. Jiger," "Gamera vs. Monster X," and my favorite "Monsters Invade Expo '70."
