One of the things we talked about was katabasis, a template for stories about Hell which emphasizes the trials endured during the journey through Hell. Godzilla in Hell is a katabasis story! 3/

I wrote four blogs for We Are The Mutants, and this essay on Ghidorah is my favourite of them: "the Showa Ghidorah movies are a rich engagement with world-historical themes of Cold War antagonism, first contact, and imperial manipulation." wearethemutants.com/2021/10/06/t...

Another essay about colour, aesthetics, politics: The Blackness of the Beast: Godzilla in the Heart of Darkness. "The contemporary incarnation of Godzilla is an embodiment of the natural rightness of violently enforced hierarchy." sftpinstitu.us.es/revistas/est...

Thanks for being so lovely to write for! 🙂🙂
