Worst to Best: Godzilla the King of the Monsters [30-26]
We’re back for part two of my ranking of Godzilla’s films from worst to best. There’s not much to say today folks and I don’t plan on giving you too much of an intro. We’re continuing our countdown of Godzilla films and today we’re going from 30 to 26. Let’s do this. #30.

3 Leadership Contests Won By The WRONG Person (And Who Should Have Won)
The role of a party leader is vital.
