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

\u201cFRONKENSTEEN! FRONKENSTEEN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what has to be a providential \u201caccident,\u201d our Halloween episode is the perfect kaiju film for the spookiest time of the year: Frankenstein Conquers the World<\/em>. Nathan is joined by Travis Alexander, co-host of Kaiju Weekly and the biggest Baragon fan we know (#Justice4Baragon), to discuss this wild if uneven Toho classic directed by Ishiro Honda. We discuss the film\u2019s relation to the hibakusha<\/em>, the discriminated survivors of the atomic bombings, because Frankenstein\u2019s plight in the film mirrors their real-life struggles. Also, Travis gets to meet Godzilla’s bumbling nephew, Godzooky (he\u2019s practically Travis\u2019s spirit animal), who helps Jimmy From NASA in the producer booth because he’s still reeling from his beatdown at the hands of Daimajin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
