594/1000 - Godzilla (1954)

To celebrate the Collection’s 1000th spine number, we’re reviewing the film that started the kaiju-craze of the 20th century: Ishiro Honda’s 1954 masterpiece Godzilla. Because we’re SOOO clever, we get into the film as a response to fears in the atomic age, but mostly we try to contend with the surprising fact that the movie is genuinely very very good. 

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Nicolas Roeg’s Insignificance (1985).
