Nine years after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, cinema's most enduring symbol of the perils of nuclear proliferation first crawled out of Tokyo Bay. We discuss how the original GODZILLA (1954) channeled the mood of its time. PLUS: how the media talks about the congressional wrangling over the reconciliation bill.

I watched King Kong et.al. as a kid in a fashion similar to Will's Godzilla fandom. I thought I wanted to be a film director after reading about Kong '33's production at age 8. Monitored weeks of upcoming TNT and other cable listings searching for my beloved to record when we finally got our VHS. Was truly terrified at the thought of Kong marching down my midtown street in Oklahoma (shout-out to Important Cinema Club for what scared us, fantastic episode). Funny how Trump would actually sort of do that decades later. So I should have seen Godzilla sooner, but like Luke, I watched it more recently. Unlike Luke however, that was maybe for my own partisan reasons. Godzilla is indeed King of the Monsters, I believe. And the film lent itself so well to y'all's form today. I'm imagining Godzilla golfing right now...

You made reference to Adam Curtis’ Hypernormalisation and I’m wondering if you’re planning on doing an episode on any of his documentaries. I’d love to know both of your thoughts on his work!
