Episode 81: ‘Godzilla Minus One’ vs. Jack ‘GMan’ Hudgens

Episode • Dec 8, 2023 • 3h 9m

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! There was no way Nate could let Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus One—only the most successful live action Japanese film ever released in America—go unanalyzed! So, for this special coda to MIFV season three, he’s joined by everyone’s favorite a-hole/”gatekeeper,” Jack “GMan” Hudgens, to discuss what might be worthy of the “Mount Rushmore of Kaiju Films.” They unpack everything from its rich themes, incredible characters, marvelous special effects, and more! Also, because Godzilla is good for business and worthy of “the Full Marchand,” you get a Toku Topic: kamikaze pilots.

Check out The Drift Space and Deferential Wrath of a Rusting Markalite Cannon.

Check out Nathan’s spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip.
