episode 166: Toho Submarine Spectacular! (Atragon, Latitude Zero, Lorelei)
Byrd and Matt take a deep dive (no pun intended) into three submarine-centric Toho science fiction films. First we tackle two Ishiro Honda classics with the iconic Atragon (1963) and Latitude Zero (1967). Then we fast forward to Shinji Higuchi's World War II sci-fi epic Lorelei: Witch of the Pacific (2005). All three of these movies are loaded with subtext and messages that we will get into and compare and contrast. Join us in the deep end of Toho waters!
