Road of Gojira Gaiden: Toho's banned Kaiju film

Today we cover Toho's banned kaiju film, The Beastman Snowman, or Half Human as it's known elsewhere. Nick Driscoll from Toho Kingdom has once again joined me to break down a huge amount of material and information regarding the numerous adaptations of the film, including the novel and manga versions, as well as many other great stories connected to the film such as King Gorion.
