About this episode
This Godzilla reboot from the creators of Neon Genesis Evangelion takes inspiration from the government’s handling of the Fukushima disaster and feels especially appropriate given the COVID19 pandemic. Author, film critic, and Godzilla fan Mark Bousquet joins this episode to discuss the movie’s political themes and its place in the Godzilla pantheon. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/japanonfilm/message
