Monsters and Metaphors: CineClub does Kaiju

Monsters and Metaphors: CineClub does Kaiju

This week the CineClub Podcasters discuss monsters and their metphors.

From the plethora of Godzilla films to Mothra, King Kong and Cloverfield, the team ponder the complexities of the monster film. The chat ranges from the use of special effects, atomic breathe scenes, low angle shots, poor lighting, unhappy endings and some useless human characters! The guys ruminate about what is so watchable (or not) in these awesome Kaiju films. There's even a discussion on how Godzilla drop kicks! (Any answers? Drop us a DM!)

Our presenters are Jake, Billy, Rhys and Dion. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.

This episode was recorded and produced by the CineClub members at the University of Sunderland. Special thanks to our technical team and academic staff.
