On this episode of Good Pop, we revisit our old friend Godzilla who takes a break from his role as a Hollywood monkey punching action star to go back to his roots as a serious film actor in the Academy Award winning Godzilla Minus One, 2023's pseudo-reboot taking place in post-war Japan following the story of a tortured veteran and the giant radioactive lizard that just won't leave him alone. The film is available now to stream on Netflix, does it live up to the hype as good pop?

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
