Maser Patrol podcast episode 30: The Fantastic Films of Nobuhiko Obayashi

Podcast – Maser Patrol

In this episode, Kevin and Benji have a chat about the wild genre filmography of the mad genius behind some iconic (yet under-represented stateside) Japanese fantasy flicks. If you read those A Space Godzilla translations (parts 1 & 2) and wondered what was up with its creator, here you can hear about a few of his works and get a taste for his eccentric style.
