Hi there, monsters. This month we will be talking about creature features, starting with the classic Japanese sci-fi horror film, Godzilla (1954).

In this episode, we discuss how the Western remakes dilute the original film’s poignant political message, and how the 1954 Godzilla navigates the ethics of warfare and the implementation of scientific discoveries, which have devastating consequences.
