Episode 62 - Godzilla (2014)
In 1954 we awakened something. This begins a chain of events, that requires the Tokyo Lives Crew to look to a face from the past to help them look into the enigmatic Monarch organization! We tried to not go overboard but nature has an order and that required a nearly three hour podcast. After all the arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control and not the other way around.
