b'Hello, kaiju lovers! Our subseries \\u201cGodzilla Redux\\u201d continues with what some call Toho screenwriter Shinichi Sekizawa\\u2019s masterpiece: Mothra (1961). Becky \\u201cBex\\u201d Smith of the Redeemed Otaku podcast joins Nate to discuss this film\\u2014because apparently Nate can\\u2019t talk about a Mothra film without her. While Bex seems weirdly obsesses over the genus names of insects, Nate regales her with kaiju-sized info bombs related to the making of the film, the historical backdrop against which it was made (controversial treaty renewals with the U.S.), and the often crazy interpretations academics and critics have of the film (blackface, anyone?). That\\u2019s just some of what you\\u2019ll learn about this kaiju classic!\\nBeforehand, Nate meets with his pseudo-sister, the semi-secret magical girl Jessica, who\\u2019s just been promoted to director of tourism on the Island. They discuss her new job and awkwardly talk about her seeming crush on Legal Action Team paralegal, Gary. After the broadcast, though, Nate and company discover \\u201cBex\\u201d isn\\u2019t who she appears to be\\u2014and Crystal Lady has to get involved.\\nThis episode\\u2019s prologue and epilogue, \\u201cBexy a Traitor?!
