My final Godzilla retrospective and a look at Hideaki Anno's Shin Godzilla and how it responded to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, how it reinterprets the themes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, its satirical critique of the Japanese government, how it responds to the legacy of Godzilla, and its larger themes of hope in a country's resiliency, plus a ranking of every Godzilla movie.
