Rodan (1956‪)‬ Skreeonk! A Godzilla Movie Marathon

It's a bird, it's a plane... it's Rodan, the giant flying monster! But would you believe it's also a horror movie delving into the plight of the underclass through the lens of coal miners, a sci-fi movie with killer bugs, and that it has an absolutely unpredictable final act twist? We talk yet another fascinating enty from Ishirō Honda -- including what makes it so close to the original Godzilla, the advancements in Tsubaraya's miniatures, the gorgeous cinematography, gay dinosaurs, and more! Plus, we answer some listener mail.
