We tried some new things with this episode. And it left us with six hours of audio. Yeah, I know. I've cut it down to about half that, but let us know if you prefer future episodes to be shorter and looser, or longer and more in depth. Just as long as we don't have to record for six hours again.

00:00 Opening.

01:13 Discussion of our histories with the Godzilla franchise. Noel would like to take a moment to plug Steve Ryfle's excellent book Japan's Favorite Mon-Star: The Unauthorized Biography of the Big-G.

04:11 Discussion of the 1954 film Gojira. For more information about the film, visit its IMDB and Wikipedia pages. The film is available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

1:02:50 Discussion of the 1958 American edit, Godzilla: The King of the Monsters. It's currently available packaged with the Gojira DVD.

1:08:18 Discussion of the 1953 film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, which was an acknowledged influence on both the original and the remake. For more information, visit its IMDB and Wikipedia pages. The film is currently on a double-feature DVD with Them (which Noel highly recommends).
