On the Season 4 premiere of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, kaiju scholar/scientist Daniel Ryan takes the naive, young Jonathan Kwiatkowski under his wings…or tail, in the hopes of one day understanding one of Japan’s… nay, the world’s, most significant cultural icons…Godzilla! We start the series off right where it began with Ishirō Honda’s 1954 film Godzilla. During this episode, we connect the dots between history, and how real-world events influenced how the King of Monsters evolved into the gargantuan cinematic force he is today! Does Humanity stand a chance? Or have we gone too far in disrupting the natural order? You must listen to unleash your unbridled rage and join us in the wake of this anime-adjacent retrospective.
