episode 152: Growing Up Godzilla: Nostalgia and Parenthood (Listener Contest Winner Episode!)
Byrd and Matt are joined by G-Fan Ben Painter (the lucky winner of our listener contest) to discuss growing up with Godzilla and kaiju movies. We talk about our first exposures to the genre, our favorite nostalgic memories, discovering the Heisei films in the early 90s, the pre-internet days, grey market VHS tapes, and more. We also touch on being a fan in adulthood- raising children, introducing our kids to Godzilla, the movies we would recommend for young, new fans, and more! Hopefully you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane as much as we enjoyed recording it!
