Hello, kaiju lovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a special Fifth Wednesday Bonus Episode (which will become a regular feature of the show), I interviewed SciFi Japan<\/em> writer Ben Chaffins about his new book, Discovering Tokusatsu<\/em>. In it he chronicles his many quests to get interviews with high-profile people working in tokusatsu filmmaking. You’ll hear about how Ben got his gig at SciFi Japan<\/em>, why he wrote the book, and how much of a \u201cstan\u201d he is for Ultraman: The Next<\/em> and Ultraman Nexus<\/em> (whose special effects director he interviewed for an exclusive chapter in this book).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
