b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\n\\n\\n\\nNate is joined by podcaster/YouTuber/filmmaker Adam Noyes to cover something a bit different this week: the original 1973 tokusatsu disaster film Submersion of Japan (aka Japan Sinks). Think of it as a kaiju film without a kaiju. It\\u2019s based a novel by Sakyo Komatsu, who Adam describes as \\u201cthe Japanese Michael Crichton.\\u201d The novel was a blockbuster, and this film was an even bigger hit. You can tell this was what Toho invested most of their money into and not Godzilla vs. Megalon that year. Adam and Nate discuss the film\\u2019s better-than-Hollywood special effects, the horribly truncated and re-edited U.S. version called Tidal Wave made by Roger Corman, and the film\\u2019s wrestling with Japanese national identity, among other things.\\n\\n\\n\\nAlso, Nate\\u2019s \\u201cpseudo-sister\\u201d magical girl superheroine clone, Jessica, meets him just before the broadcast to let him know she just moved back to Monster Island.
