Dalton and Daniel talk about Godzilla: Invasion of Astro-Monster SYNOPSIS: An astronaut (Akira Takarada) goes to Planet X to fetch Rodan and Godzilla, lent to aliens supposedly in distress.

It is time to talk about one of my favorite films. This time, the original Godzilla from 1954. Directed by Ishirō Honda and starring Akira Takarada, Momoko Kōchi, Akihiko Hirata, and Takashi Shimura. If you have never seen this film before, it is a lot better than you might think!

Monsteriana, monsteriano, bienvenido a ¡Cosas de Monstruos! El programa en el que te enseñamos a sobrevivir a las amenazas más terroríficas: Las criaturas gigantes. Abrimos nuevo spin-off y al igual que le dedicamos un programa especial a Akira Takarada vamos a ir hablando de vez en cuando de toda aquella gente que dejo su huella en el kaiju eiga y fue muy importante para el género. En esta ocasión vamos con él a veces denostado pero siempre entretenido Jun Fukuda. Tras la profundidad de Ishiro Honda llegó Fukuda acompañado de esos ritmos caribeños de Masaru Sato para traer películas mucho más ligeras de godzilla, aventuras muy fresquitas, muy locas y muy entretenidas. Estuvo presente en las peores películas de la era showa y aun así conseguía que partes de la trama fueran muy entretenidas y aportaba siempre un ritmo especial. Así que le dedicamos este programa especial donde hacemos un repaso y comentamos por encima toda su filmografía kaiju y un poco de aquella fuera de los monstruos gigantes.

Harken! The four wise men and women from the mountain left the summit to discuss Ishiro Honda's Godzilla! Released in 1954, the film stars Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, Akihiko Hirata, and many others. It was filmed in Japan and was distributed by Toho! Enjoy your bi-weekly trip to Shaolin.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Today's episode is a momentous one. Nate discusses the all-time classic Mothra vs. Godzilla with Daniel DiManna of the Godzilla Novelization Project. Now Nate has come full circle because this was the first film whose episode he recorded first in his previous podcast life. But this episode is better! How could it not be with the living kaiju encyclopedia as a guest? Nate and Danny discuss everything: the Godzilla suit, the Mothra puppet, the script, the characters, and of course, the late great Akira Takarada. This G-film doesn't do anything new, but what it does, it does to near-perfection. No wonder it's considered one of the best of the franchise! Afterward, Nate and Danny are joined by Nate's pseudo-sister, Jessica, to livestream the sendoff of Mothra's newly-laid egg back to Infant Island. Unfortunately, the Church of Mothrianity strikes again! The web-splitting Silkworm attacks, and even Jessica's magical girl persona, Crystal Lady, can't stop her—until she gets help from a new companion. The epilogue, “The Coming of Mimo! Crystal Lady vs. Silkworm!” was written by Nathan Marchand. Special thanks to J.P. Gant for helping to edit this episode! Follow him on Twitter: @Homebrewed_SD (https://tinyurl.com/2jpc36r5).

Matt, Byrd and Tom pay tribute to the prolific actor Akira Takarada, who passed away recently at the age of 87.  We discuss Takarada's vast career in acting, voiceover, and activism.  Our main topic is two spy spoofs Takarada starred in, 1965's Ironfinger (aka 100 Shot, 100 Killed), and 1967's Golden Eyes (aka Booted Babe, Busted Boss).  Directed by Jun Fukuda, these action comedies are stacked with many of the major Toho actors of the time and also have strong ties to the Godzilla franchise (especially Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster).  Both films are streaming on the Criterion Channel in the United States.  Are these underseen movies worth tracking down?  Listen and find out!  But first, we have a news roundup with our predictions on possible upcoming Godzilla and King Kong movies.

The random number generator has returned! And this time it wants Nick, Andrew, James, and Evan to discuss 1963's Atragon!

Hello, kaiju lovers. This is the audio from an impromptu livestream held over the weekend that I, Nathan, wish was done under better circumstances. On March 13, 2022, the legendary actor Akira Takarada, star of six Godzilla films among other things, died at age 87. I was joined by several of my friends in the kaiju content creator community—Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project), Elijah Thomas (the Kaiju Conversation podcast), and Kaiju Kim—to discuss the life and career of Takarada-san. We share our personal stories about him and discuss out favorite films and performances of his. This is emotional and a bit long, but I hope you enjoy this celebration of a life well-lived. We could all stand to follow Takarada's example. Watch the original livestream video on YouTube. Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip. We'd like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of Kaiju Weekly); Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; Damon Noyes, The Cel Cast, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of Nerd Chapel, and Ted Williams!

 This episode is a fuel-injected suicide machine! We're traveling not too far into the future, to the world of Mad Max! We've been big fans of both Mad Max and The Road Warrior, and we'll discuss all four of the films, and of course get into some of the back story about how the film series originated.Coming out of Australia in 1979 as the brainchild of George Miller and Byron Kennedy, Mad Max was a mind-blowing blast of action, featuring wall to wall high speed stunts the likes of which audiences had never seen before. It was the first film of a very young Mel Gibson, starring as Max Rockatansky, a good cop who goes on a mission of vengeance on the road after his family is killed by a motorcycle gang. Made on a shoestring budget, the film was a worldwide hit, which paved the way for a sequel.The second film, known worldwide as Mad Max 2, but as The Road Warrior (1981) in the states, moved the story much more clearly into a dystopian future. Max wanders the wastelands aimlessly, searching for gas to keep his V8 interceptor running. He winds up assisting a group of people running a refinery against a gang of raiders in exchange for gas. Max is removed from his humanity - he's at best an anti-hero - but he's miles better than the bestial thugs that harass the inhabitants of the refinery. Once again, Miller and Kennedy deliver amazing chase sequences and stunts -all done for real, no CG!By 1985, the third film, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was released, and the influence of the big Hollywood studios is obvious. Tina Turner was brought in as an antagonist and performed a couple of songs for the soundtrack. The violence was also turned down for a PG-13 rating - never a good sign. Max also gets involved with a pack of wild children. It seemed calculated to appeal to a wider audience but it felt like they had lost some of the Max charm.The franchise lay dormant for decades. Miller had considered bringing Max to TV but plans fell through. Finally, a new film was produced in 2015, Mad Max Fury Road. Tom Hardy took over the role of Max, and Charlize Theron co-starred as Furiosa. Fury Road took many elements from the previous films, but amped them up way over the top. Previous chases were almost recycled, but bigger and crazier. The marauders from Road Warrior are emulated but to almost ridiculous extent. The film was incredibly successful and it seems a sequel or prequel is likely.If you haven't watched any of the older Mad Max films in a while, go back and check them out - especially the first two! The action sequences are still amazing.Chief Engineer Bob with Mr. Takarada at MonsterpaloozaFor our Sensor Sweep sequence, we have a memorial to the great actor Akira Takarada (1934 - 2022), who appeared in the original 1954 Godzilla, as well as many other Godzilla films including Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, Godzilla vs. the Thing, and all the way up to Godzilla: Final Wars. Our Chief Engineer Bob shares a personal story of meeting Mr. Takarada with us. We send our condolences to his loved ones.That wraps up this episode. Thoughts on Mad Max? Please share!

Kal does his very first Actor Spotlight and there is none better to choose as his first subject than the original leading star of 1954 Gojira; Akira Takarada! In this episode Kal will discuss Akira's early life, how he became an actor and his rise to stardom!

Hello, kaiju lovers! By popular (and Godzilla's) demand, MIFV is starting a new series on episodes on the Godzilla franchise called “Godzilla Redux”! It starts with the one that started it all, the 1954 classic Godzilla (aka Gojira) starring Akira Takarada, Akihiko Hirata, and Takeshi Shimura, among others, and directed by Ishiro Honda. Of course, such a momentous film and occasion required all four of the original Tourists, Nick Hayden, Timothy Deal, and Joe & Joy Metter. Unfortunately for Nate, there is way, way, WAY too much scholarship on this film, so it was overwhelming to research and difficult to condense it all down. Regardless, the roundtable discusses the U.S. Occupation of Japan, the Lucky Dragon No. 5 incident, and how Dr. Serizawa should've been a cool anime character, among other subjects related to this film.  Check out Nick and Tim's podcast, Derailed Trains of Thought! Additional music: “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo   We'd like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of Kaiju Weekly); Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; Damon Noyes, and The Cel Cast!

Hello, kaiju lovers! Except today's episode isn't about giant monsters. Heck, it's barely about tokusatsu. Nathan is analyzing the criminally underseen 1961 antiwar drama The Last War. While most of the creative team behind the camera aren't the ones usually followed by kaiju/toku fans, there are several familiar faces in front of the camera: Frankie Sakai (Mothra), Yuriko Hoshi (Mothra vs. Godzilla, etc.), and Akira Takarada (too many to list). This film depicts a middle class Japanese family navigating everyday life interspersed with Japanese government officials and foreign soldiers trying to avoid World War III. It is a perfect snapshot of the Japanese national spirit at that moment in time and, Nathan argues, is the precursor to 1984's The Return of Godzilla. As part of his analysis, Nathan reads the Bible passage quoted in the film (plus the following two verses that would've offered some hope) and a John Bradley poem that would've been perfect for the end of the film. All this plus Nathan opens the mailbag to answer some listener feedback! This is meant to supplement this episode of Kaijuvision Radio, which featured the fantastic Danny DiManna: Episode 43: The Last War (1961) (NATO) (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization). I'd like to give a shout-out to our Patreon patrons Travis Alexander (host of Kaiju Weekly), Danny DiManna, and elizilla13! Thanks for your support! Read Jimmy's Notes on this episode.

W tym miesiącu zmierzamy się z jedną z najdłuższych i najbardziej płodnych serii filmowych na świecie: z sagą o potworze zwanym Godzillą. Chociaż Godzilla od dziesięcioleci jest stałą częścią globalnej popkultury, tylko niektórzy pamiętają, że film, od którego wszystko się zaczęło, był prawdziwie przełomowym wydarzeniem. Z jednej strony związane to było z jego oszałamiającymi (szczególnie jak na tamte czasy) efektami audiowizualnymi, które zrewolucjonizowały sposób tworzenia filmów i które inspirują twórców do dziś. Z drugiej strony, będąc jednym z pierwszych japońskich światowych sukcesów kasowych tuż po zakończeniu amerykańskiej okupacji po drugiej wojnie światowej, Godzilla zaczęła symbolizować znacznie więcej niż ten kilkunastometrowy prehistoryczny potwór sugeruje na pierwszy rzut oka... Najważniejsze omawiane filmy: Gojira (1954), reż: Ishiro Honda; scenariusz: Takeo Murata i Ishiro Honda, z Shigeru Kayama; w rolach głównych: Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura; prod. Toho Studios. Rekomendacje: Kuba: Nowy serial Star Trek: Picard (2020) w którym Patrick Stewart powraca w legendarnej roli Jean-Luc’a Picard’a w kontynuacji klasyków sci-fi Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) i Star Trek: Nemesis (2002). Damian: The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), klasyk amerykańskiego kina sci-fi lat 50.-tych, w którym zwaśnione ziemskie narody muszą spełnić pacyfistyczne żądania przybysza z kosmosu albo zostać unicestwione.

  Byrd and Matt are joined by Chris Marti to discuss two apocalyptic Toho disaster films. First up, we talk 1961’s harrowing The Last War, a story chronicling the events leading up to World War III and the helpless civilians stuck in the middle.  Featuring excellent performances by Akira Takarada, and Frankie Sakai and some of Eiji Tsuburaya’s very best effects work. We follow that up with the banned end of the world epic Prophecies of Nostradamus from 1974.  This bizarre film shows us giant slugs, nuclear explosions, food shortages, cannibals, mutants, giant bats, and everything in between!  We’ll discuss both films, as well as numerous real life nuclear scares throughout history, Nostradamus, aborted sequels, Toei’s rare apocalypse drama The Final War, and more!  Join us as we talk about the more depressing corners of Toho science fiction in this stacked episode!
