Back in the 1950s, Japan was in full flight rebuilding its cities and economy following their destruction during World War Two. Then, to the surprise of everyone, a 150-foot tall lizard came out of the ocean and set about destroying Tokyo. It was Godzilla, an irradiated mutant monster that came via the imagination and movie magic of special effects legend Eiji Tsuburaya.

Speakers: August Ragone, author of Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters; George Port, special effects producer of Power Rangers series.
