It starts with the one that started it all, the 1954 classic <em>Godzilla<\/em> (aka <em>Gojira<\/em>) starring Akira Takarada, Akihiko Hirata, and Takeshi Shimura, among others, and directed by Ishiro Honda. Of course, such a momentous film and occasion required all four of the original Tourists, Nick Hayden, Timothy Deal, and Joe &amp; Joy Metter. Unfortunately for Nate, there is way, <em>way<\/em>, WAY too much scholarship on this film, so it was overwhelming to research and difficult to condense it all down. Regardless, the roundtable discusses the U.S. Occupation of Japan, the Lucky Dragon No. 5 incident, and how Dr. Serizawa should\u2019ve been a cool anime character, among other subjects related to this film.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out Nick and Tim\u2019s podcast, <a href=\"http:\/\/derailedtrainsofthought.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derailed Trains of Thought<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional music:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VOEtcpay9wA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cChant My Name!\u201d by Masaaki Endo<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/kaiju-weekly\/id1330448313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaiju Weekly<\/a>); Danny DiManna (author\/creator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/godzillanovelizationproject.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Godzilla Novelization Project<\/a>); Eli Harris (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kaijumediajunkie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elizilla13<\/a>); Chris Cooke (host of <a href=\"http:\/\/2099onecrossst.com\/category\/one-cross-radio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Cross Radio<\/a>); Bex from <a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedotaku.libsyn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Redeemed Otaku<\/a>; Damon Noyes, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/the-cel-cast-1181606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cel Cast<\/a>!
