Before Minus One got all the love and admiration it so rightfully deserved, there was another Godzilla movie not so long ago that really stomped its way into the hearts of millions. So after 180 episodes of the show, we're finally discussing the one, the only, the King of the Monsters (but not that movie.) We're of course talking about Godzilla, but not just any Godzilla movie; it's the 2016 masterclass in satire that is Shin Godzilla. What would it look like from a bureaucratic standpoint to actually try and stop a kaiju attack? This film shows exactly how it would (probably) go down. But that's not to say it doesn't have some incredibly shocking and horrific imagery that any kaiju lover would be sure to appreciate. So prepare your uniform and make sure your ramen doesn't get soggy as we talk about that truly wild face reveal of Gojira, plus the sensual world of commemorative popcorn buckets, the United States edging with its nuclear weapons, and creating a kaiju just for America. All of that and more with returning guests Michael Moss and JT Kelly, plus we'll spin the wheel to decide which film will have the honor of being our Season 7 finale episode next week.
Shin Godzilla stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Mikako Ichikawa, Satomi Ishihara, Yutaka Takenouchi, Kengo Kora, Matsuo Satoru, Kazuo Takahashi, and Kanji Tsuda. Directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi.
