I received a question from a listener about the circumstances of this event, so I decided to answer it.If you're wondering why I am a little bent over in this video, it's because of severe chronic pain in my spine.Receipts here: https://twitter.com/kaijuvision/status/1344055920096063488Receipts include excerpts from Nathan's blog about the Dennis Hensley alleged attempted rape scandal, and his claim his Facebook was hacked (redactions are to protect his friends). The now redacted section by Watkins characterizing Hensley's victims as the aggressors, Nathan saying it's the best thing written on the scandal, and the rest of Watkins' over the top blog.

In this live, I outline the incredible threat to United States national security during this tumultuous time. With the election, a possible presidential transition, and the coronavirus in the White House, there are many threats from other nations and non-state actors. I also address the reactions to the Comfort Women video previously released on this channel.MP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/kvr-live-5-the-us-a-nation-in-crisia-honda-war-crimes-video-recap.mp3Official Kaijuvision merchandise on Redbubble:http://www.redbubble.com/shop/kaijuvision?ref=search_box Host/Editor/Director: Brian ScherschelVideo Location: Fort Wayne, Indiana"Torii Gate" Banners: Kevin Geary (kevincgearydesign.com) Logos: Nanoparticles (www.fiverr.com/nanoparticles)Music: Audiophiliac (www.fiverr.com/audiophiliac)KVR Live YouTube Music by: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Summer Nights by LiQWYD https://soundcloud.com/liqwyd Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/summer-nights-liqwyd Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/6A2mPVrYAxs ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Copyright Brian J.

In this live, I show you the new Gamera Blu-ray set that arrived, and I discuss the cancellation of G-Fest article in the newest G-Fan Magazine, and make some remarks to honor the occasion of Kaijuvision's 3rd anniversary. The show first aired on September 20, 2017. I apologize for the audio - YouTube Live must have forced the webcam microphone as the default.MP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/kvr-live-4-g-fan-magazine-coronavirus-article3f9ba1pc05jzpdqr.mp3Official Kaijuvision merchandise on Redbubble:http://www.redbubble.com/shop/kaijuvision?ref=search_box Host/Editor/Director: Brian ScherschelVideo Location: Fort Wayne, IndianaCopyright Brian J.

In this episode I tackle the issue of Ishiro Honda's time during World War II administering a comfort women camp.I was asked how he evaded punishment for committing Class C War Crimes (Crimes Against Humanity), and I have a definitive yet complex answer.Honda's films were supportive of human rights, and this is what we remember his place in history during World War II.If Honda was an unnamed Japanese man who participated in these crimes, I would have wanted him to be brought to justice and served some kind of punishment for them.However, there are many reasons why this didn't happen.So put on your thinking cap and listen as I explain how complex this situation is.MP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/57-ishiro-honda-and-crimes-against-humanity02v7a94mcs02v74dhs2.mp3Transcript:I received a question after I advertised a Q and A for YouTube. I did not receive them on Twitter publicly - they were all submitted privately. Given the nature of this particular question, I can see why it was submitted anonymously. I gave my initial reflections in Livestream 2, and in this episode I'm going to further address this issue.First I'll give you some background. In episode 4 of the show, I covered the issue of the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal. I utilized a few sources plus what I already knew and thought about regarding the subject. I've never shied away from a subject because it was too difficult for me to read about and process. But I'll preface what I say with this: It's not my place to forgive Ishiro Honda for what he did under the command of the Imperial Japanese Army. It also isn't your place to forgive him. The only ones who can forgive him are the women (and men) who were put in the camps. And it isn't Godzilla fandom experts' place to downplay the significance of that chapter of his life. I can only give you my analysis of what I've learned and thought about.Honda was in a command position at a comfort women camp during World War II. He administered actions there. He would have participated in “acquiring” women for the camp, also known as abducting, or kidnapping, and forcing them into sexual slavery. Human trafficking is another way to put this. These actions classify him as a class C war criminal, for crimes against humanity. He was not arrested, charged, or punished after the war was over.The US only got around 5,000 of the war criminals, and some were charged by other countries like Australia. When the surrender took place the Japanese military and government destroyed the records, and the military personnel put on civilian clothes or went into hiding, or both. Without a record of who was connected to these war crimes, it's hard to prove they did anything. Virtually everyone else threw themselves under the bus for Emperor Showa (Hirohito). Out of political expediency, the US gave Emperor Showa a way to out of it by not focusing on him in order to preserve the oldest imperial family on Earth. This action enabled nationalists in Japan and war crimes deniers, as well as anyone else who didn't want to accept responsibility. Needless to say, denying these war crimes is beyond shameful. Nationalists say that the class A war criminals who were executed sacrificed themselves to keep the imperial family. The US also let the Unit 731 chemical and biological weapons scientists and employees free too, and judges at the tribunal weren't even told about that.The more you learn about the comfort women camps, the more shocking it gets. These camps were where some of the worst violations of human rights occurred during the war. Women were raped and beaten. They were pulled into a state-organized sex trafficking operation. Women were raped up to and exceeding 80 times a day in these camps. Many wished they were dead, some attempted or committed suicide, and they thought death would be better than this. It destroyed their lives.

In this live, I address the recently released Japan Sinks: 2020 anime series from Science Saru Studios and directed by Masaaki Yuasa. I give you my reactions and thoughts on this incredible anime. It's bizarre, funny, sad, and surprising! It departs significantly from the original Komatsu book. I analyze the Japanese rap battle about what it means to be Japanese, the old man's murder spree while riding a mobility scooter, and the many bizarre deaths in this fascinating story.MP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/kvr-live-3-japan-sinks-2020-3s9g1nzweg93.mp3Official Kaijuvision merchandise on Redbubble:http://www.redbubble.com/shop/kaijuvision?ref=search_box Host/Editor/Director: Brian ScherschelVideo Location: Fort Wayne, IndianaCopyright Brian J.

In this live, I answer questions from listeners about some complex issues, such as fandom behavior online, Ishiro Honda's time in a command position at a comfort women camp, who really rebuilt Japan after the war, economic circumstances that led to the Japanese Economic Miracle, the disparate impact on minorities that gatekeeping has, and the level of popularity of rescinding Article 9 from the Japanese Constitution.MP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/kvr-live-2-fandom-discourse-honda-war-crimes.mp3Official Kaijuvision merchandise on Redbubble:http://www.redbubble.com/shop/kaijuvision?ref=search_box Host/Editor/Director: Brian ScherschelVideo Location: Fort Wayne, IndianaCopyright Brian J.

Staying on Shin Godzilla-related content, I give my opinion on the popular article “Shin Godzilla vs. GMK: The Battle Over Japanese Nationalism”. It's not 1947 anymore, and Japan has shown the world how good of a country it can be. At the end of the day, the Japanese should make their own decisions about their constitution and if they should grow their military. East Asia is a very dangerous place right now, and the US and Japan have many things in common. I believe these two movies are not opposites – they are two sides of the same patriotic coin.Link to the article: http://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/shin-godzilla-vs-gmk-the-battle-over-japanese-nationalismMP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/56-shin-godzilla-gmk-and-japanese-nationalism.mp3Transcript:
Welcome back to Kaijuvision. I'm Brian Scherschel. I'm going to continue with Shin Godzilla-related content. As I've been interested in politics and history since I was 7 years old, this has always been my interest and my specialty. So as they say on YouTube, let's get right into it.
In this episode I'm going to address an article called “Shin Godzilla and GMK: The Battle Over Japanese Nationalism”, which was written by Gman in 2017. It's about how Shin Godzilla is supposedly nationalist propaganda, but in reality, this article itself reads like propaganda. Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular cause or point of view.
I'll start by saying that I have a master's in public administration with a concentration in comparative and international affairs from the best public administration school in the country. It's ranked higher than the Kennedy School of Government. I have read a great deal about Japanese nationalism, and I've covered over 50 topics on Kaijuvision, so this is not really a new topic for me. I've never addressed an article like this on the show before, but I am now because the Godzilla and the kaiju community is really missing a lot of perspective on this topic in particular. Fans of Godzilla and kaiju deserve to hear updated information to be able to make good decisions. There are others in the community who have it right by disagreeing with the conventional wisdom. It's not that hard to understand, it's just that people have been getting outdated information for so long, and it's time to move forward.
When I released my “Politics of Shin Godzilla” episode, I came up against only a little bit of push-back. The feedback was largely positive. Most of the negative responses were hilarious to me, calling me Fox News and a populist, among other things. They called Shin Godzilla Japanese militarist nationalist propaganda, and the “Triumph of the Will” of Godzilla movies, which is a comparison to the Nazi regime's propaganda. I think the criticisms of Shin Godzilla have been so over the top. One person said I didn't mention GMK from 2001 and pretended to have this sort of “gotcha” moment. I don't think he listened to anything I said in the video either, but maybe he did. But when he mentioned that, he reminded me of this article about GMK and Shin Godzilla.
So getting into the article, right out of the gate, it sets up GMK and Shin Godzilla as opposing political forces. It says how GMK represents Japan's pacifist ideals and Shin Godzilla represents right-wing nationalism. So here's why this is a false setup from the outset: Both movies are patriotic. They're two sides of the same coin. Patriotism is faith in one's homeland: political, historical, cultural, ethnic, and patriotism is defensive, inward-thinking, and fulfilled. Nationalism is inseparable from the desire for power and promoting national identity, culture, language, race, religion, and political goals, and nationalism is offensive, outwards, and power hungry. There's nothing in GMK or Shin Godzilla about how the rest of the world needs to be more Japanese, -

The final word on the politics of Shin Godzilla, from the podcast that covered it best. Is Shin Godzilla a “nationalist” movie? As an international affairs graduate of the best public policy school in the country, I can say that it is not nationalistic. It's patriotic. The 3/11 Disaster (Earthquake/Tsunami/Nuclear Meltdowns) had a big influence on the movie. Godzilla effectively IS the 3/11 disaster. If it was nationalistic, I wouldn't like it as much. Watch me tell you what every fan should know about this incredible movie. I cover the satire, the realism, and much more! This is my first episode recorded on video, but you can still listen to the audio version just like every previous episode.MP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/55-the-politics-of-shin-godzilla38v2j0d7slqipxm1.mp3 Official Kaijuvision merchandise on Redbubble:http://www.redbubble.com/shop/kaijuvision?ref=search_box Host/Editor/Director/Scenic Videos: Brian ScherschelVideo Location: Fort Wayne, IndianaMusic: Audiophiliac (www.fiverr.com/audiophiliac)"Torii Gate" Banners: Kevin Geary (kevincgearydesign.com)Logos: Nanoparticles (www.fiverr.com/nanoparticles)Copyright Brian J.

In the latest Bonus Behind-the-Scenes Special Feature, I explain how I created the show's structure and the role my patriotism played.

The related topic for this episode is The 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. All tokusatsu fans should know about this event and just how significant it was. The Submersion of Japan means so much to the Japanese people because of this event. The Tokyo earthquake in the movie is referred to in the book as “The Second Great Kanto Earthquake”. The movie started shooting on the day of the 50th anniversary of the earthquake: September 1, 1973.This episode is dedicated to actor Keiju Kobayashi.You can find John LeMay's books on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/John-LeMay/e/B003KTW83K/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2?qid=1539779359&sr=8-2.Peace Winds Japan – Super Typhoon Hagibis Relief Fund: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/super-typhoon-hagibis-relief-fund/MP3:http://kaijuvisionradioepisodes.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/54-the-submersion-of-japan3of3v7a63lgs78stqmfuio.mp3Part 3 – Related Topic: 0:00 – 23:28Closing: 23:28 – End Official Kaijuvision merchandise on Redbubble:http://www.redbubble.com/shop/kaijuvision?ref=search_box Host/Editor/Director/Scenic Videos: Brian ScherschelVideo Location: Jefferson Boulevard Skybridge, Fort Wayne, Indiana (Part 3 of 3)Music: Audiophiliac (www.fiverr.com/audiophiliac)"Torii Gate" Banners: Kevin Geary (kevincgearydesign.com)Logos: Nanoparticles (www.fiverr.com/nanoparticles)Copyright Brian J.

It's the last Toho classic kaiju movie, and there's so much to like! The engaging cinematography and Kenji Sahara's performance as Obata are two of the best things. And there aren't any annoying squeaky-voiced little kids either! The subtle symbolism regarding Chinese Communism in the story and the kaiju is fascinating. Celebrate the end of an era with me, as I elevate this overlooked yet fun kaiju entry.
The related topic for this episode is Japanese Colonialism in Oceania.
This episode is dedicated to Akira Kubo.

Get into the bath of immunity, then put on your gold or vinyl outfit and prepare yourself for an overwhelmingly positive review of this humorous and underrated piece of Toho history! While the Americans and Japanese on the production staff got into frequent arguments, at least the costume department had fun! Unlike the painfully square reporter Perry Lawton, I'd have stayed in Latitude Zero and never returned to the surface. Though this film didn't perform well, it holds a special place in the hearts of many tokusatsu fans. I showcase the American actors and put the story into context by relating it to similar adventure and Utopian literature and movies.The related topic for this episode is The South China Sea Disputes – with Google Earth Pro video on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q-v_DlTVeIThe YouTube video of only part 3 with Google Earth video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfOVZTItHjEThis episode is dedicated to Joseph Cotten, Cesar Romero, Patricia Medina, and Richard Jaeckel.I'd like to send a shout-out to our patrons Kyoei Toshi and Sean Stiff.

At G-Fest XXV, Brian interviewed kaiju author and podcaster Kevin Derendorf. His book is called "Kaiju for Hipsters: 101 'Alternative' Giant Monster Movies". We discuss the thought processes and goals behind "Kaiju for Hipsters" and compare them to the creative process and goals of Kaijuvision Radio. We discuss the need for rare films to be saved, archived and viewed by audiences because rare films are often entertaining and special. We discuss the need for going deeper into kaiju and tokusatsu movies instead of covering the surface as so many have before. We discuss Shin Godzilla, Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), House, the Godzilla Anime Trilogy, and many more fine films.Check out "Kaiju for Hipsters" here on Amazon:

This is our G-Fest Conference panel, which took place at 12:00pm (CDT) on July 14, 2019 at the Crowne Plaza O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois. In it, we compare and contrast alien invasion stories in movies from the Godzilla franchise and from American kaiju/sci-fi movies. I connect the stories from the Godzilla movies to events and trends in Japanese history, while Taylor connects the stories from American films to events and trends in American history. I highlight events from World War II, post-war globalization, nationalism, and the Japanese stock market crash in 1989/1990. Taylor highlights events from the Great Depression, the Red Scare, resource management, and technology.I'd like to send a shout-out to our patrons Kyoei Toshi, Sean Stiff, William Mize, and Eric White.

A lot of critics know and understand the basics of the 1954 Godzilla, but they have less of an understanding of what makes a great Godzilla sequel. This movie has by far the most Toho magic of any non-Japanese Godzilla movie to date. I address the box office, the critical reviews, and how the way this film was edited is a big reason for the film's underperformance.
