DALE BERAN's new book IT CAME FROM SOMETHING AWFUL, How a Toxic Troll Army Accidentally Memed Donald Trump Into Office (All Points Books/Macmillan) is here and it explores the toxicity of the online culture that bred the alt-right and wonder what could have gone differently. We chat about the origins of online trolls and why it's difficult for everyone else to understand the culture.
Hosted by Jason Henderson, author of Young Captain Nemo from Feiwel & Friends/Macmillan Children’s Books.
This week we look at The Return of Godzilla, also known as Godzilla 1984 or, in the US, as Godzilla 1985, complete with a serious, at times poetic performance from Raymond Burr reprising his role from the original 1956 American release of 1954's Godzilla. Also, a few words on Once Upon a Time in America and The Haunting of Sharon Tate.
This week in the Godzilla Retrospective, Godzilla meets the strange, visor-wearing, buzz-saw bellied cyborg monster Gigan! Plus, cockroach aliens.
This week we continue our retrospective on Godzilla with 1973 movie Godzilla versus Megalon. It's a controversial film for its use of stock footage and the clear "backdoor pilot" introduction of giant robot Jet Jaguar, but we have a lot of fun discussing it.
We continue our Godzilla retrospective with Monster Zero, in which Godzilla is hauled to another planet to face King Ghidorah, the three-headed monster introduced in the previous film.
