OG Otaku: Loving Godzilla, tokusatsu and anime before they were cool

The Fandom Files is joined by best-selling author August Ragone to talk about all things Godzilla, kaiju and early fandom. Ragone is the author of the book "Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters," about the legendary father of the Japanese special effects industry, as well as a renowned expert on Japanese pop culture, horror flicks, and more. Long before CrunchyRoll and Netflix, Ragone was catching old monster movies on late night TV in the 70s and trading anime VHS tapes in the early '80s.
