Show Notes

When you’ve just lost a war, the last thing you need is a giant radioactive dinosaur with fire breath taking a self-guided tour of your remaining cities. Unfortunately, such is the plight of the people of Japan who, as we all know from high school history class, have been under siege from kaijus of all shapes and sizes since the end of World War II. The most famous of these immense invaders, of course, being Godzilla, one of the most recognizable monsters of movie history and one whose popularity has transcended national borders. His most successful recent outing, however, sees the Big G going home in more ways than one, as Godzilla Minus One, a 2023 monster movie directed by Takashi Yamazaki, takes everyone’s favorite anti-nuclear metaphor back to his roots in Japan in the immediate aftermath of the second World War. GMO was a surprise hit with audiences and critics alike, and it topped off its successful theater run with an Oscar, but can it nab that distinction even Oscar winners dare not to hope for, a favorable review from Magellans at the Movies? Only one way to find out!
