Time to talk pollution, by way of a kaiju movie! This week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla discusses a unique entry in Toho’s series, 1971’s Godzilla vs. Hedorah, aka Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster (it’s official American title), from director Yoshimitsu Banno. Given the significant shift in style, the film has always been an oddball, praised by some and ignored by others. Having seen it for the first time, we certainly had big thoughts to get into about how this film could have broken me, what Aaron thinks about the gory destruction on display, and a discussion regarding the legacy of the movie’s director, Banno. Enjoy!
