If you're reading this, don't click off the episode before the intro finishes! We just had a 3-day marathon of Hideaki Anno's 'Shin' trilogy, which includes Shin Godzilla, Shin Ultraman and finally Shin Kamen Rider on theatre! Listen to our discussion on Anno's usage of these Japanese heroes as vehicles for Japanese societal satire and how utterly deranged Anno's filmmaking is.
