Rogue Stars! Gorath (1962) and Warning From Space (1956)
Manage episode 393984522 series 2660907
Byrd and Lux ring in the new year by talking about two Showa-era "colliding worlds" epics. First is Daiei's Warning From Space, the first Japanese science fiction film made in color. It tells of a race of cyclops starfish aliens who warn humanity that a planet called Planet R is on a collision course with the earth. After that we discuss 1962's Gorath (technically a New Years movie!), Ishiro Honda's classic that tells of the titular star on a collision course with earth and the scientists tasked to prevent it with very little time. We also talk about the history of "worlds colliding" films, the weird post-film history of Gorath's walrus kaiju, Magma, and we determine which of these golden age classics holds up better. Relax and join the conversation!
