In 1984, Godzilla rose from Tokyo Bay for the first time in nine years for THE RETURN OF GODZILLA. In 1985, an American distributor dramatically recut the movie into GODZILLA 1985. We're joined at long last by Important Cinema Club co-host Justin Decloux to discuss the many structural and ideological changes that were imposed upon Godzilla's big comeback.
Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.

0:19.0 | Welcome to Michael and us, I'm Will Sloane, here is always with. |
0:23.0 | Luke Savage, welcome back everyone. |
0:25.0 | And we have a very special guest we've been talking about having this |
0:28.0 | gentleman on for a long time, always over my objections. |
0:32.0 | But finally I've been warned down, who's our special guest? |
0:35.0 | Hi, it's me, Justin Niclou, broadcasting live with Will from the place that all important podcasters record at a hotel room. |
0:44.0 | Hotel room in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. |

1:02.0 | Anyway, I brought the two of you together today because I think it's high time you each learned that I have another podcast. |
1:07.0 | So this is the long awaited Michael and us important cinema club crossover, |

1:28.0 | I will be edited out entirely of the important cinema club episode, and Justin will be edited out entirely of the other one. |
1:35.0 | And Will will give didactic monologues in both that destroy all subtlety. |
1:41.0 | One thing that we're going to learn from this collaboration is you can't tamper with nature. |
1:46.0 | You know, some things are meant to be separate, but when you bring them together, mankind's reckless arrogance in the face of God himself. |
1:54.0 | One of us is King Kong, one of us is Godzilla, and one of us, no listener can see where I'm pointing at right now, is baby Godzilla. |
