With Sadao Iizuka in January 2021.

There is even more new content now available at Vantage Point Interviews.

My second interview with Sadao Iizuka, the animator of Godzilla's atomic ray and King Ghidorah's gravity beams, has just been published. In the interview, Mr. Iizuka talks about animating these kaiju rays, as well as the stop-motion used in King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), the origins of Dogora in Dogora the Space Monster (1964), King Ghidorah's birth in Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster (1964), and Minya's smoke rings in Son of Godzilla (1967).

Also available is my conversation with famed voice actor Alan Oppenheimer. Mr. Oppenheimer, the voice of Skeletor, Vanity Smurf, Falkor, and a host of other iconic '80s characters, played the kaiju-minded Dr. Contrare in a comedic scene from Gammera the Invincible (1966). In the interview, he talks not only about Gammera but also about a bevy of other topics regarding his life and career.
