b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\nThe \\u201cSummer of Mothra\\u201d continues with\\xa0Rebirth of Mothra II\\u2014the valley between two short mountains in the \\u201890s Mothra trilogy. Once again Nathan is joined by Bex from the\\xa0Redeemed Otaku\\xa0podcast, and they try their hardest to do a deep dive on a shallow movie. While the first movie had an obvious environmental theme, this one barely gives 20 seconds of screen time to anything substantial. Even Belvera and Elias aren\\u2019t as exciting this time around. Then there\\u2019s Ghogo/Gogo/Go-Go (aka \\u201cJapanese Furby\\u201d), the \\u201ctoken cute thing\\u201d whose plushy Bex has no interest in buying because, well, magic urine. Yeah\\u2026.\\nBut nothing can prepare you for the Shyamalan twist at the end of this episode. Nathan and his intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, never saw it coming.\\nAlso, Jimmy introduces his new garage assistant, who\\u2019s either popular or infamous, depending on who you talk to.\\nHere\\u2019s the Kaijuvision Radio episode Nathan mentioned:\\xa0Episode 19: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) (The Reversion of Okinawa: History and Culture).\\nHere are the Redeemed Otaku episodes Nathan (and his friend\\xa0Eric Anderson) appeared on to discuss the Godzilla Anime Trilogy:\\nGodzilla: Planet of the MonstersGodzilla: City on the Edge of BattleGodzilla: The Planet Eater\\nWe\\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our Patreon patrons Travis Alexander (host of\\xa0Kaiju Weekly), Danny DiManna,\\xa0elizilla13, and Joejira!
