In the penultimate episode of Road to Shin Godzilla Month, Brian and Nate discuss Godzilla’s return to America with Legendary Pictures’ 2014 reboot directed by Gareth Edwards. Your hosts channel Siskel & Ebert again, only in reverse: Nate loves this film but Brian thinks it’s a mixed bag. They also draw several literary and historical parallels—including Riki-Tiki-Tavi and Saigō Takamori, the real-life last samurai—to this movie, which launched the MonsterVerse. While this is an American film, our related topic is the 2014 reinterpretation of Article 9 of the Japanese constitution.Next week, our Godzilla Journey comes to a head with the most in-depth analysis of Shin Godzilla you’ll hear in English.MP3:http://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/kaijuvisionradioepisodes/36-godzilla-us-2014nv54f8sqjv054mdspejk211.mp3Introduction: 0:00 – 2:02 Part 1 – Film Description: 2:02 – 7:32 Part 2 – Opinion and Discussion: 7:32 – 1:18:42 Part 3 – Related Topics: 1:18:42 – 1:43:30 Closing: 1:42:30 – End Host: Brian ScherschelCo-Host: Nathan MarchandEditor: Brian Scherschel and Nathan MarchandVideo Location: Pisgah Marsh (Pisgah Lake), Pierceton, IndianaVideo: Brian ScherschelMusic: Audiophiliac (http://www.fiverr.com/audiophiliac)Copyright Brian J.
