Episode 95: Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994)

09/18/24 • 79 min

What happens when a Godzilla cell falls into a black hole, merges with an organic crystal, and then absorbs the energy of an exploding star? You guessed it: Purple Godzilla. We scour through the wreckage of this special effects powerhouse to find a struggle between overt force and coercive control, an exploration of the queerness hidden beneath the surface of male conflict, and an image of the Oedipal complex as a force detached from human culture.

Who decides what is real, and what other powers does that give them? We discuss mental health and how it's treated in the modern world, contradictions as an engine of change, the death of the '60s counterculture, and how the film's unique soundtrack highlights its messages.

We're back and we're done complaining about Shinji. We spy a critique of bureaucracy, more evidence that the Eva is (at least metaphorically) Shinji's mom, and we look to scripture to take a stab at where the Evas and the Angels come from.
