Episode Notes

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam

Topic: Shin Godzilla(2016) directed by Hideaki Anno (Evangellion) and Shinji Higuchi (Attack on Titan), written by Hideaki Anno, starring Hiroki Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi, Satomi Ishihara, Ren Osugi, Akira Emoto, and many more.

Shin Godzilla is a fantastic movie on many layers. First of all, it's a great Godzilla film. You get to see Godzilla being Godzilla, a representation of the unstoppable, destructive side of nature. It works as a criticism of the Japanese bureaucracy and the greed of governments world wide. It also showcases some of the deeper contemplative elements seen in Evangelion on the nature of humanity and the power of unity.
