A smog monster that goes from tadpole to spaceship! Flying breath-powered Godzilla! People melting into skeletons! Artist Andy Vanderbilt joins us for one of our most hotly anticipated episodes -- a movie that tackled the existential threat of pollution and became one of the weirdest and most gruesome Godzilla films. We talk about why this beloved and divisive movie was the only feature film Yoshimitsu Banno ever directed, how Hedorah has become so iconic despite appearing so rarely, the famous animated interstitials and nightclub hallucinations, lots of rotten fish, and more!
