Show Notes

Toho tries their hand another new giant monster movie, but with the marked improvements of seasoned actors and color film stock. Director Ishiro Honda is back, and so are Akira Ifukube and Eiji Tsuburaya, completing the dream team from 1954’s ‘Godzilla’.

Rodan is a spectacular achievement in the art of miniatures and monster story-telling, and introduces us to a vibrant world of horrific prehistoric bugs and jet speed dinosaurs.
