Kamikaze pilot Koichi (Ryunosuke Kamiki) survives the war only to return to Tokyo and finding it in ruins. Trying to survive like the rest of post war Japan, he befriends a young woman, Noriko (Minami Hamabe), and the two along with an orphaned baby girl create a hodge-podge family. Koichi gets a job clearing sea mines. While working with his crew, Godzilla appears and endangers all of Tokyo.

The movie is written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki. With a budget of $15M USD, the film has gone on to triple its profit. Some reviewers have stated this may be the best Godzilla movie ever made. Your podcast co-hosts take a look at this latest release in the classic franchise and give their thoughts.
