Rick Wallach, one of the founding members of the Cormac McCarthy Society and, indeed, of McCarthy studies in general, passed away on January 27th at the age of 75. A former president of the Cormac McCarthy Society, Rick taught English at the University of Miami.  He instituted and was the senior editor of the Cormac McCarthy Society casebook series, and was the editor of the two-volume collection of essays Sacred Violence as well as Myth, Legend Dust: Critical Responses to Cormac McCarthy, and co-editor with Lynnea Chapman King and the late James Welsh of From Novel to Film: No Country for Old Men. He wrote on films, pop culture, music by bands like the Cowboy Junkies, and his final book was In Search of Godzilla: Myth, Stagecraft and Politics in Ishiro Honda's Masterpiece, published by McFarland Press.   This episode is a tribute to Rick, with comments from friends and colleagues Stacey Peebles, Marty Priola, and Peter Josyph.  Stacey Peebles is H. W. Stodghill, Jr. and Adele H. Stodghill Professor of English and Chair of Film Studies at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. She is the author of The War Comes with You: Enduring War in Life, Fiction, and Fantasy (2024), Cormac McCarthy and Performance: Page, Stage, Screen (2017), and Welcome to the Suck: Narrating the American Soldier's Experience in Iraq (2011). She is the editor of the collection Violence in Literature (2014) and, with Ben West, co-editor of Approaches to Teaching the Works of Cormac McCarthy (2021). She has been editor of the Cormac McCarthy Journal since 2010.Marty Priola's website for McCarthy appreciation became the first website and a foundational part of the formation of the Cormac McCarthy Society, and he still maintains the Cormac McCarthy webpages and forums.  He has written two entries on McCarthy for the Dictionary of Literary Biography. His writing is also featured in exchanges with Peter Josyph in Cormac Mccarthy's House: Reading Mccarthy Without Walls and The Wrong Reader's Guide to Cormac Mccarthy: All The Pretty Horses, which he edited and published in its first (ebook) form.  Peter Josyph works concurrently as a writer, painter, actor, and an award-winning filmmaker. He was a frequent keynoter for the Cormac McCarthy Society; he played White in a production of THE SUNSET LIMITED in Danville, Kentucky; his painted tributes to McCarthy have exhibited around the world; and he has published five books on McCarthy, the most recent being CORMAC McCARTHY'S LAST OUTLAWS: THE COUNSELOR AND THE PASSENGER, and GLANTON'S HORSE.Thomas Frye composed, performed, and produced the music for READING MCCARTHY.  The views of the host and his guests do not necessarily reflect the views of their home institutions or the Cormac McCarthy Society. To contact the host, please reach out to readingmccarthy@gmail.com. Support the showStarting in spring of 2023, the podcast began accepting minor sponsorship offers to offset the costs of the podcast.  This may cause a mild disconnect in earlier podcasts where the host asks for patrons in lieu of sponsorships.   But if we compare it to a very large and naked bald man in the middle of the desert who leads you to an extinct volcano to create gunpowder, it seems pretty minor...

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Godzilla Redux” kicks off with not one but two “gatekeepers” in the kaiju fandom: Jack “GMan” Hudgens and Elijah Thomas (Kaiju Conversation). They along with Nate spend nearly four hours(!) talking about why they effing love the final Showa series film, Terror of Mechagodzilla. It was Nate and Elijah's first G-film and is one of Jack's perennial favorites. While many regard it as Ishiro Honda's weakest Godzilla film and barely give it more credit than the rest of the 1970s G-films, your hosts unpack a laundry list of deep themes and potent symbols. They sing the praises of the wonderful script by Yukiko Takayama (the only woman to write a full Godzilla screenplay), the exciting explosions of Teruyoshi Nakano (who considered this some of his best work), the grossly underrated kaiju Titanosaurus, and the nuanced performance of Akihiko Hirata as Dr. Mafune, among many other things. No stone is left unturned in this epic discussion! Then in the most entertaining Patreon shout-outs segment ever of all time, a certain Mr. Trump (by way of Elijah) appears….

Pese a su impagable legado de relatos y novelas de terror, William Hope Hodgson solo ha conocido una adaptación cinematográfica. Y en el contexto más insospechado: las producciones de ciencia ficción y efectos especiales de la Toho en el Japón de los sesenta, un filón que abrió la primera película de «Godzilla». El director de esta última, Ishiro Honda, se encargaría también de llevar a la pantalla un relato de Hodgson sobre una pareja de náufragos que acaba en una isla donde prolifera un hongo maldito y que los termina por convertir en monstruos. De ahí nace «Matango», uno de los proyectos más atípicos de Honda y la Toho. Donde el escritor inglés vio fatalidad y soledad, el cineasta encontró la perfecta metáfora del ser humano posmoderno, su individualismo atroz y su necesidad de evasión de la realidad. En este podcast, analizamos tanto la película como el relato para ahondar en sus bases comunes y sus divergencias. Tras los micros, Miguel Muñoz Garnica, José Luis Forte y Lourdes Esqueda Verano.

Chris and Gerry delve into the world of Kaiju and review The Invasion of the Astro Monster.  What happens when Godzilla and Rodan are loaned to aliens in exchange for a cure for all diseases? Invasion of the Astro Monster (1965, also known as Monster Zero, is one of the most watchable and gripping kaiju films. Directed by Ishiro Honda and featuring Nick Adams and Kumi Mizune, this sci-fi horror mixes romance, politics, and paranoia into a delicious Kaiju stew. 

Oh no, your plans for a remote beach resort have been derailed by a microbiotic space alien that possesses people and makes sea creatures grow real big! Chris Cummins (Archie Comics, Sci-Fi Explosion) joins us for no one's favorite kaiju film -- but a fun one with loveable cuttlefish, crab, and turtle kaiju nevertheless, and a very important one to the history of Godzilla. We talk about the fraught production plagued by Eiji Tsubaraya's death, Ishiro Honda's disillusionment, and Toho being an evil corporation.

Godzilla y Rashomon a 80 años de Hiroshima En agosto de 2025 el mundo conmemora (quizá no como deberíamos) 80 años del bombardeo atómico sobre Hiroshima y Nagasaki que marcó el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En Cinegarage ese evento aún nos conmueve. Por eso, proponemos una serie de reflexiones alrededor de esta tragedia final de esa guerra, y lo hacemos, como siempre, desde el cine. Rashomon, película de Akira Kurosawa estrenada en 1950, y Godzilla, de Ishiro Honda, estrenada en 1954, son dos películas que lanzan poderosas y profundas reflexiones sobre la Guerra, sobre la participación de Japón en ella, sobre los bombardeos atómicos y, por supuesto, sobre sus secuelas. Para ahondar en estas lecturas la invitada ideal es Veka Duncan, autora, investigadora y difusora cultural –a quien pueden ver y seguir en su canal de YouTube (Veka Duncan) en el espacio Martes Cultural– y es también gran amiga de Cinegarage. Godzilla y Rashomon nos dan, desde aquí, la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre los bombardeos atómicos de hace 80 años. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Madeline Brumby, Shane Morton and Mark Maddox join Jim for a rousing discussion of 1964's Kaiju Classic, "Godzilla vs The Thing," aka Godzilla Vs Mothra or Mothra vs Godzilla," starring Akira Takarada, Yuriko Hoshi, Hiroshi Koizumi, Yu Fujiki Emi and Yumi Ito, Krnji Sahara, Jun Tazaku, Akira Tani, Haruo Nakajima, Katsumi Tazuka and directed by Ishiro Honda. A strange egg floats ashore at a small Japanese village arousing the interest of some local ne'er-do-wells. And in the distance, a familiar roar can be heard! Find out more on this episode of MONSTER ATTACK!, The Podcast Dedicated To Old Monster Movies.

You can find the podcast on Threads, Instagram and Bluesky. In 1992 Ishiro Honda sat down for his final interview with journalist David Milner. When asked about which of his own films were his favourite Honda listed Godzilla (1954), Gorath (1962) and The Mysterians from 1957. The Mysterians is a visually beautiful film full to the brim with sci-fi tropes. A technologically advanced but desperate alien race, affected by radiation, is invading earth and wants to take our healthy women for breeding purposes. There's also a groovy space station and the first mecha-kaiju in the form of Moguera. A film made at a time when Japan seems to be wrangling with what it means to be a post imperial, post nuclear tragedy country with a growing economy and a booming film industry. I have two wonderful experts to help shed light on the context of this trope laden sci-fi classic. Jay Telotte is Professor Emeritus of film and media studies at Georgia Tech. He has written/edited numerous books and articles about science fiction film including the 2023 book Selling Science Fiction Cinema. Yuki Miyamoto is Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Humanities Center at DePaul University. Her work focuses on the ethics around nuclear discourse.

The Fabulous World of Jules Verne (1958), also known as Invention for Destruction or in its original Czech: Vynález zkázy. You can look to find the film on Just Watch but people in mainland and central Europe may find it easier to find with mainstream streaming services. The Criterion Channel also has the film available and there may be some Central and Eastern European services that you may be able to sign up to.

Together we check out Bass' sole feature as a director, Phase IV (1974), followed by Destroy All Monsters (1968), directed by Ishiro Honda.

The one where Godzilla goes to space, the one where Godzilla dances, the one where Godzilla and Rodan are mind-controlled by a race of leather-clad aliens from Planet X and, along with King Ghidorah, are sent to destroy humanity.

As usual there are spoilers ahead! For the full show notes without character limits you can head to the website here.  You can follow the podcast on Instagram and Threads although I am also trying to join in on BlueSky a bit. (It's a bit weird though.) Description Godzilla was released in 1954 in Japan it has gone on to become one of the longest standing movie franchises and began the Kaiju film tradition. Directed by Ishiro Honda, produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka with special effects my Eiji Tsuburaya. It was inspired in part by the 1933 King Kong and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms from the year before.A big difference compared to US 1950s sci-fi films dealing with nuclear themes is the Japanese perspective. The film wasn't officially released in the US until 2004 but the US re-edit Godzilla: King of the Monsters! (1956) brought Godzilla to a global audience. My absolutely wonderful guests share their insights on this cinematic masterpiece. The Experts The wonderful Lisa Yaszek is Regents' Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech. She has written/edited numerous books on science fiction. Yuki Miyamoto is Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Humanities Center at DePaul University.

You can check the Just Watch website to see where its available in your region. We will (as usual) be spending some time speaking about the sequels so it might be worth watching the 1978 version as it is considered the best version by many! I loved it but the original holds a very special place in my heart so it will not be replaced by a copy. The episode hasn't been recorded yet but the plan is also to speak a little about the 1953 film Invaders from Mars that has many similar themes.

Why 'Terror of Mechagodzilla'? Why not 'Terror of Mechagodzilla'? It's the last film in the Showa era, the last film made by Ishiro Honda, it's got one of Godzilla's most iconic foes, and all Godzilla is good Godzilla. So let's dig in and see how kaiju were living in the Me Decade!

Most people have seen at least one Godzilla movie. Everyone's heard the unmistakable roar. But the first (and Charles thinks the best, much to Joseph's chagrin) is the original, the Numero Uno, the Ichiban: Gojira 1954 from Japan, directed by Ishiro Honda! This mean-ass monster, conceived and hatched in the ocean depths during the aftermath of the initial terrors of the Nuclear Age, spawned it all -- countless sequels, reimaginings, and reboots over the past 60 years. No CGI here, just a guy in a rubber suit stomping on miniature cities, and we (make that Charles) couldn't be happier. Joseph just rolls his eyes. Godzilla theme by Akira Ifukube. Remake Schmemake theme music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠JuliusH⁠⁠⁠⁠ from ⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The guest for our 50th episode is the OG himself, the redoubtable RICK WALLACH, who joins us for a rousing discussion of No Country for Old Men.  Somehow both Batman and Godzilla are referenced as we consider both the novel and the Coen Bros. film.  Rick Wallach has recently retired from teaching English at the University of Miami.  He is a founder of the Cormac McCarthy society, the senior and primary editor of the Cormac McCarthy Society casebook series, and editor of the two-volume collection of essays Sacred Violence as well as Myth, Legend Dust: Critical Responses to Cormac McCarthy, and co-editor with Lynnea Chapman King and the late James Welsh of From Novel to Film: No Country for Old Men. He is currently working on a new book called "In Search of Godzilla: Myth, History, and Politics in Ishiro Honda's Masterpiece."  As always, readers should beware: there be spoilers here.Thanks to Thomas Frye, who composed, performed, and produced the music for READING MCCARTHY.  The views of the host and his guests do not necessarily reflect the views of their home institutions or the Cormac McCarthy Society, although in our hearts we hope they'll someday see the light.  We appreciate favorable reviews on your favorite podcasting platform.  If you enjoy this podcast you may also enjoy the GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL PODCAST, hosted by myself and Kirk Curnutt. To contact me, please reach out to readingmccarthy(@)gmail.com.

Byrd and Lux ring in the new year by talking about two Showa-era "colliding worlds" epics.  First is Daiei's Warning From Space, the first Japanese science fiction film made in color.  It tells of a race of cyclops starfish aliens who warn humanity that a planet called Planet R is on a collision course with the earth.  After that we discuss 1962's Gorath (technically a New Years movie!), Ishiro Honda's classic that tells of the titular star on a collision course with earth and the scientists tasked to prevent it with very little time.  We also talk about the history of "worlds colliding" films, the weird post-film history of Gorath's walrus kaiju, Magma, and we determine which of these golden age classics holds up better.  Relax and join the conversation!
