*FILM: Mothra is playing tonight at the Clay! This 1961 Japanese cult sci-fi classic has a giant moth acting like a big meanie. According to Wikipedia, the B-move is about "[a]n expedition to an irradiated island brings civilization in contact with a primitive native culture. When one sensationalist entrepreneur tries to exploit the islanders, their ancient deity arises in retaliation." And that deity? Is Mothra.
