Nathan is joined by the most loved and hated film critic in the kaiju community, Jack \u201cGMan\u201d Hudgens, to discuss this Toho classic that has been described as the lovechild of <em>Mothra <\/em>(1961) and <em>The Last War<\/em>. While it isn\u2019t the most exciting film, Nathan and GMan explore how its theme of unity is a timeless message, and one that people need to hear now more than ever. Along the way, they compare this to <em>Star Trek<\/em> and H.P. Lovecraft stories and discuss how Maguma the giant walrus has done nothing but get shoehorned into stories he didn\u2019t need to be in. Also, GMan gets into a bar fight with Jimmy From NASA. Yep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is meant to supplement this episode of Kaijuvision Radio: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fvw71EdP5BE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Episode 44: Gorath (1962) (Near Earth Objects\/Science of Gorath).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our Patreon patrons Travis Alexander (host of <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/kaiju-weekly\/id1330448313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaiju Weekly<\/a>), Danny DiManna, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kaijumediajunkie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elizilla13<\/a> and Joejira!
