Episode Five takes an in-depth look at the elements that make the original 1954 “Godzilla” so unique, specific, and influential. At the top of the show, I talk about things going on in my connection with Small Town Monsters, including the publication of a book, “Making Monsters.” I also tease a collaboration in the works with the awesome podcast “Monster Kid Radio.” Then, it’s onto Godzilla, a film whose cultural impact is hard to calculate, yet undeniably felt to this present day. Turning to the G-FAN Reading Room, we hear the article “The Making of Godzilla” from Issue # 12, written by Ed Godziszewski. Special thanks to J.D.
