Episode 63: King Kong vs. Godzilla | Godzilla Redux | Ft. AlyssaGojiGeek

Published: June 7, 2022, 3:30 p.m.

b'Hello, kaiju lovers! Godzilla Redux continues! Nate is joined by YouTuber/author/musician/Navy sailor Alyssa Charpentier (aka AlyssaGojiGeek) for a film from his previous podcast life: King Kong vs. Godzilla. While, yes, Nate discussed a pair of related unmade films with John LeMay, today he and Alyssa compare and contrast the original Japanese version and the re-edited U.S. cut. The latter softens the satirical tone of the original and adds pointless scenes with two boring white guys who use a children\\u2019s dinosaur book to prove Godzilla is a dumb brute and Kong \\u201cis a thinking animal.\\u201d This leads to some talk about the subpar Criterion Collection box set\\u2014the only way to legally watch the Japanese cut in America\\u2014and how the Japanese economic miracle influenced the film. Even Alyssa never learned this stuff in school!\\nBefore the broadcast, Nate meets with Mr. Gold and his assistant, Ms. Kawaii. They try to sweet talk him with the gift of hot chocolate and promises of advancement. Nate feigns gratitude and endures accusations of brown-nosing from Jimmy. Afterward, Nate researches late into the night at the Sekizawa Library, where he tries\\u2014and fails\\u2014to accost the AWOL EDF Mutant Ozaki. Ozaki tells Nate about the shady operations he\\u2019s been investigating the last few weeks.\\nThe prologue, \\u201cSecret Business, Part 1\\u201d was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand.
