Mothra (1961) with Hamish Steele
Episode description
Hatch from your cocoon, it's Mothra March! Hamish Steele (creator of Dead End: Paranormal Park and DeadEndia) is here for the gay icon and queen of the monsters' debut film--a fantastical fairy tale with tiny singing ladies that explores the horrors of corporate greed and colonization. We dig into the all-star cast and cartoonishly evil villain, the complicated portrayal of Infant Island's indigenous population, the America/Russia fusion, Toho's kaiju cinematic universe, and more!
