Episode 54 (complete version): The Submersion of Japan (1973) (The 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake)

November 16, 2019

Here's the full version of Kaijuvision's episode on The Submersion of Japan – Toho's most successful movie of the 1970s. It's an epic episode for an epic movie! To help introduce this movie, I am joined by John LeMay, who loves the film as much as I do. After describing the film, I say how The Submersion of Japan is a special film when compared to many other disaster movies from the 1970s. I then interview John about the film, because the background information is so interesting. For the opinion and analysis, I cover the film chronologically, giving the audience a commentary like none other. The related topic for this episode is The 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. I connect this event to the movie in many ways. This topic is the reason why The Submersion of Japan could be considered a horror film on a national scale. This episode is dedicated to actor Keiju Kobayashi. You can find John LeMay's books on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/John-LeMay/e/B003KTW83K/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2?qid=1539779359&sr=8-2.
