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

Nate is joined by podcaster\/YouTuber\/filmmaker Adam Noyes to cover something a bit different this week: the original 1973 tokusatsu disaster film Submersion of Japan <\/em>(aka Japan Sinks<\/em>). Think of it as a kaiju film without a kaiju. It’s based a novel by Sakyo Komatsu, who Adam describes as \u201cthe Japanese Michael Crichton.\u201d The novel was a blockbuster, and this film was an even bigger hit. You can tell this was what Toho invested most of their money into and not Godzilla vs. Megalon<\/em> that year. Adam and Nate discuss the film\u2019s better-than-Hollywood special effects, the horribly truncated and re-edited U.S. version called Tidal Wave<\/em> made by Roger Corman, and the film\u2019s wrestling with Japanese national identity, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Nate’s \u201cpseudo-sister\u201d magical girl superheroine clone, Jessica, meets him just before the broadcast to let him know she just moved back to Monster Island. He\u2019s…overjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
