Season 1’s penultimate episode. This week on The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist we have another outstanding episode. It’s probably safe to say that Godzilla is a classic movie worthy of being in ScreenAge Wasteland’s Canon.
Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 14: Godzilla (1954)

King of the Monsters! This is an absolute beast of an episode. K. Alvarez and Bob Cram join Raf to talk about the original kaiju, nuclear fallout, and how that iconic roar came to be. You might be surprised to learn that this is the only Godzilla movie to make the Canon. But fear not, there’s plenty discussion about the other films here as well.
