Episode 47 (3/3): Godzilla Anime Trilogy (2017-2018) – Godzilla: Bigger Than Human Existence

Posted on February 6, 2019 by Kaijuvision Radio

Daniel and I go further into what the anime trilogy makes us think about. We examine which historical figures the Exif could have been responsible for, the inevitability of Godzilla, the cycle of civilizations, and a fun economic term called entropy pessimism. I compare the story in the anime trilogy to Westworld, Blade Runner, Chrono Trigger, the book of Genesis, the legend of Icarus, and I Heart Huckabees.

This episode is dedicated to actor Ren Osugi.

Posted on February 5, 2019 by Kaijuvision Radio

Haruo asks Metphies “Why are you showing me this?” This is also what some people watching the anime trilogy were thinking. We’ll give our opinions and share our reactions to these experimental, risky, and unrestrained trio of movies. We appreciate the story and how it brings up intriguing concepts and ideas.

Posted on February 4, 2019 by Kaijuvision Radio

“The big idea was to create a thought-provoking anime-style story that introduces a cohesive concept that connects Godzilla to the entirety of human existence.” In the first part of a special three-part episode, we give our opinions on the anime trilogy as a whole. Daniel DiManna of the Godzilla Novelization Project joins me to discuss the expectations, the risk, the lack of monster fights, and the reaction from the fandom.

This episode is dedicated to actor Ren Osugi.

Episode 43: The Last War (1961) (NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization))

Posted on November 28, 2018 by Kaijuvision Radio

Brian and Daniel team up for this rare and incredible tokusatsu disaster film from Toho. Find it and watch it! It’s a nuclear war scenario between stand-ins for NATO and the Warsaw Pact at the height of the Cold War – and Japan is caught in between! It’s like an Ozu film with Tsuburaya’s special effects in it. It’s also a nearly perfect film for this show (besides Shin Godzilla). Includes a talented cast including Akira Takarada, Yuriko Hoshi, Frankie Sakai, and Jerry Ito. The related topic for this episode is NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).

Episode 42: Battle in Outer Space (1959) (The Space Race between the US and the USSR)

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Kaijuvision Radio

Daniel DiManna of the Godzilla Novelization Project comes back to the show to review this tokusatsu extravaganza. The film is based in science-fiction, action, and Ishiro Honda’s particular brand of optimistic pacifism. With the combination of superb models and vehicles, top-notch effects, and a unique fast-paced story, the movie does everything well all at once. We discuss how cool it would be to be inside the theater that gets destroyed by an absolute zero weapon in the movie you’re watching in it, Yoshio Tsuchiya’s mind control adventure, and militarizing the crap out of the space program in the name of peace. The related topic for this episode is the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
