from The Kaiju Transmissions Podcast Hosted by Kaiju Transmissions Podcast
Byrd and Kevin sit down with Eric McEver, director of the new independent film Iké Boys to talk about the making of the film and how he started making his own short films in Japan. Eric's journey is a unique one, going from being an American kaiju fan to making his own tokusatsu films in Japan with genre vets such as tokusatsu director Daisuke Sato, Toho pyrotechnician Yasushi Iwata and Showa era suit maker Keizo Murase. We also talk about how he cast Billy Zane, Yumiko Shaku and Ben Browder, how his real life inspired Iké Boys, working with the legendary Chiodo Bros, how he managed the tokusatsu filming unit in Japan, whether or not Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla is a misunderstood masterpiece, and more! Relax and join the conversation.
