It's Godzillapalooza!!! We are celebrating the 70th anniversary of this legendary giant monster's emergence on the big screen. Today we are joined by Emily Quartarone, Ph.D. candidate of Saint Louis University. Emily is an avid researcher of American remakes of horror films who is currently working on her dissertation under the working title "American Godzilla." Emily takes us to the very origins of Gozilla: Japan's Godzilla (1954) from Toho and the American remake Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956). We take a journey through Godzilla's evolution from the Showa era, to the 1980s revival, through the Japanese and American convergences of his portrayal through today. You won't believe how intricate this icon's history is! Tune into this masterclass to learn everything you've ever wanted to know about your favorite kaiju.
