The Golden 60s begin with Mothra's solo movie. It's the first film we cover written by Shinichi Sekizawa who changes the kaiju film formula forever, and the first kaiju movie in Tohoscope. Listen to Brian and Nate as they tackle this overlooked, amazing, and high-quality kaiju masterpiece. Our related topic is the US-Japan Security Treaty and its renewal in 1960.

Because Rodan is in numerous Godzilla movies, Brian and Nate discuss his namesake film. While the movie is serious and at times horrific, like the original Gojira (1954), Rodan is a completely different type of kaiju. Our related topics are Japan during the Korean War and Japan's history with the United Nations.

Brian and Nate discuss the Americanized version of Gojira (1954). This movie is a time capsule, very indicative of its time, which makes it somewhat difficult to discuss. We try to address the reasons behind the many alterations made to the movie. Our related topic is part 2 of 2 of our discussion about the occupation of Japan, which covers the more negative aspects of the occupation.

In this episode we tackle the original Gojira, the movie that started it all. Because there's so much analysis of this movie at so many other places on the Internet, we concentrate on the historical and political references, story mechanics, and cultural significance of this indispensable classic. Our related topic is part 1 of 2 of our discussion of the occupation of Japan. We lay out the basics of the occupation and how Japan was drastically changed. We will address the more negative aspects of the occupation in the next episode. For the video version of this podcast, check out our YouTube channel.

In celebration of G-Day, we are releasing episodes 1 and 2 today!  In this episode we discuss how these two films only within the context of how they influenced the creation of Godzilla. Both of these films significantly affected popular culture and the kaiju genre. Our thesis is: King Kong (1933) + The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms +Japanese Culture + Castle Bravo Nuclear Test = Godzilla. For the video version of this podcast, check out our YouTube channel.
