What happens when a monstrous symbol of destruction morphs into a guardian of a nation's spirit?

Join us as we trace Godzilla's extraordinary metamorphosis with insights from film historians and creators, including scholar Hiroki Takahashi.

We'll reflect on how this giant has not just roared through Japan's skyline but also echoed the country's post-war healing, evolving from a nightmarish force into a defender against modern threats. The seismic shifts in Godzilla's narrative reveal a profound connection to humanity's resilience, as we stand united in the face of environmental challenges and the perils of rapid technological growth.

This episode celebrates Godzilla's global impact, examining how the creature's journey from terror to protector mirrors our collective anxieties and triumphs
