It&#8217;s a full house (\u201cfull mecha\u201d?) in today&#8217;s Godzilla Redux episode on the infamous but now-popular-to-like G-film, <em>Godzilla vs. Hedorah <\/em>(aka <em>Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster<\/em>). Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project), Ben Avery (Strangers and Aliens; Welcome to Level 7), and Matt and Gratton of Giant Monster BS all return to discuss the strangest yet arguably most auteur film in the franchise. To say it kicked off the \u201870s G-films with a strange bang would be an understatement. It&#8217;s trippy imagery, bizarre monster, and psychedelic pop music all came from the mind of one Yoshimitsu Banno, who despite being rumored for years to have been told he ruined Godzilla, went on to help launch the MonsterVerse. Our panelists unpack that, the film&#8217;s subtle-as-a-sledgehammer messages, its co-screenwriter Kaoru Mabuchi\/Takeshi Kimura, and much, much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edited by Christopher Riner with Nathan Marchand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/index.php\/2024\/06\/05\/jimmys-notes-on-episode-93-godzilla-vs-hedorah-ft-daniel-dimanna-ben-avery-and-giant-monster-bs\/\">Read &#8220;Jimmy\u2019s Notes&#8221; on this episode on the MIFV website!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Music:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cReturn the Sun!
