b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\n\\n\\n\\nJimmy\\u2019s (former?) flame war nemesis, tokustasu scholar John LeMay, returns to discuss the second banned film to be covered on MIFV: Prophecies of Nostradamus. This infamous disaster film\\u2014which is as different from Submersion of Japan as night is from day\\u2014was Toho\\u2019s biggest hit of 1974 and features the last appearance by Takeshi Shimura in a Toho tokusatsu film, which only makes its banishment to the back of the vault all the more puzzling. Nate and John explain that the film was banned because of a 30-second scene (that wasn\\u2019t even real!) featuring \\u201cSoft-Bodied Humans\\u201d that was seen as offensive to atomic bombing survivors. Nate also gives a history lesson on who the popular but misunderstood French seer Nostradamus was and his book of prophecies, which inspired this bizarre film.\\n\\n\\n\\nYes, we know that this episode went over the Board-mandated time limit for \\u201cmini-sodes\\u201d\\u2014and we don\\u2019t care!\\n\\n\\n\\nYou can buy John\\u2019s latest books here and here on Amazon.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe\\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of Kaiju Weekly); Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; and Damon Noyes!
