A New Nobuyuki Yasumaru Q&A on Vantage Point Interviews!

My latest Q&A has just been published on Vantage Point Interviews, which may have been Godzilla suitmaker Nobuyuki Yasumaru's last-ever interview. (It was conducted only about five months before he passed away.) In the interview, Mr. Yasumaru gives the most likely explanations for why Jet Jaguar was named "Jaguar" (and why it was probably changed from Red Arone), recounts the toilet-related shenanigans the Toho SFX took part in during the making of the otherwise somber The Last War (1961), and goes into detail about his work on The Last Days of Planet Earth (a.k.a. Prophecies of Nostradamus, 1974), among many other fascinating topics. You can read about all this and more on Vantage Point Interviews, where content is king!
