Today\u2019s episode is a momentous one. Nate discusses the all-time classic <em>Mothra vs. Godzilla <\/em>with Daniel DiManna of the Godzilla Novelization Project. Now Nate has come full circle because this was the first film whose episode he recorded first in his previous podcast life. But <em>this<\/em> episode is better! How could it not be with the living kaiju encyclopedia as a guest? Nate and Danny discuss everything: the Godzilla suit, the Mothra puppet, the script, the characters, and of course, the late great Akira Takarada. This G-film doesn\u2019t do anything new, but what it does, it does to near-perfection. No wonder it\u2019s considered one of the best of the franchise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterward, Nate and Danny are joined by Nate\u2019s pseudo-sister, Jessica, to livestream the sendoff of Mothra\u2019s newly-laid egg back to Infant Island. Unfortunately, the Church of Mothrianity strikes again! The web-splitting Silkworm attacks, and even Jessica\u2019s magical girl persona, Crystal Lady, can\u2019t stop her\u2014until she gets help from a new companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The epilogue, \u201cThe Coming of Mimo! Crystal Lady vs. Silkworm!\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special thanks to J.P. Gant for helping to edit this episode!
