episode 224: Japan Sinks 2020 (Spoiler Review)


Byrd and Matt are joined by frequent guest host Kevin, as well as Justin Mullis (the Man Creates Dinosaurs blog) to talk about the recent Netflix anime series, Japan Sinks 2020.  This new adaptation of the Sakyo Komatsu disaster novel (which got two tokusatsu adaptations from Toho) takes a new approach to the material with a new storyline, new characters, and a lot of commentary on the current state of Japan.  We'll review the series, as well as discuss how the themes relate to the current climate.  We talk about neo-religions, Fukushima, nationalism, and much more!
