Episode 55: The Politics of Shin Godzilla

The final word on the politics of Shin Godzilla, from the podcast that covered it best. Is Shin Godzilla a “nationalist” movie? As an international affairs graduate of the best public policy school in the country, I can say that it is not nationalistic. It’s patriotic. The 3/11 Disaster (Earthquake/Tsunami/Nuclear Meltdowns) had a big influence on the movie. Godzilla effectively IS the 3/11 disaster. If it was nationalistic, I wouldn’t like it as much. Watch me tell you what every fan should know about this incredible movie. I cover the satire, the realism, and much more! This is my first episode recorded on video, but you can still listen to the audio version just like every previous episode.

Programming note

Just a quick note for those of you who don’t follow me on social media sources, the reason I haven’t released new episodes lately is that I’ve been a primary live-in caretaker for a very close family member who passed away last month.  The 4-5 months leading up to that were stressful and busy, and I wasn’t in the right place emotionally.  Thank you to everyone for your kindness and understanding.
