Episode 3: Gojira (1954) (The Occupation of Japan Part 1: Castle Bravo Test, Cold War, Democracy)
In this episode we tackle the original Gojira, the movie that started it all. Because there's so much analysis of this movie at so many other places on the Internet, we concentrate on the historical and political references, story mechanics, and cultural significance of this indispensable classic. Our related topic is part 1 of 2 of our discussion of the occupation of Japan. We lay out the basics of the occupation and how Japan was drastically changed. We will address the more negative aspects of the occupation in the next episode.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0IM0LtlKkYMP3:http://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/kaijuvisionradioepisodes/03-gojira68612931.mp3Introduction: 0:00 – 1:44Part 1 - Film Description: 1:44 – 5:33Part 2 - Opinion and Discussion: 5:33 – 25:35Part 3 – Related Topic: 25:35 – 59:57Closing: 59:57 - End Host: Brian ScherschelCo-Host: Nathan MarchandEditor: Brian ScherschelVideo Location: Headwaters Park, St. Mary's River, Fort Wayne, IndianaVideo: Brian ScherschelMusic: Audiophiliac (http://www.fiverr.com/audiophiliac)Copyright Brian J.
