shines a light on the human story beyond the headlines in every day for a cop. and in our series 100 german must mean it's the newest book on the list who like getting fired philip delves into the psyche of violent soccer fan. stepaside king kong because the biggest baddest movie monster is back and i'm talking of course about the giant radioactive lizard godzilla as the hero of dozens of the movies he's returning for this summer as the 1st of the big blockbusters and this film is called godzilla king of the monsters which harks back to the original one so we'll get the lowdown from our movie man scott roxboro who's got this report for us. world is changing. the balance extinction we fear. has already. monster movie fans have had to wait a long time for the new godzilla movie the 200000000 dollar blockbuster finishing 2

years ago now just in time for the summer season godzilla is back. the film stars were out in force for the movie's premiere in los angeles. and even the kings of monsters himself got all spiffed up for the red carpet. the film's director sees godzilla as a universal tale. ever since we're telling stories around the campfire stories about demons and dragons using giant sea monsters. godzilla and his kind are just sort of the latest incarnation of. planet earth. the 35th godzilla movie has added an environmental subtext to the story godzilla and the other big beasts have come to save humanity from itself our heroes have to unleash the monster. global catastrophe.

yes bring him in for a beer not this time we join the fight there's a reason why godzilla comes to humanity's rescue and he is my wife said it's like a bump on the head you know wake up and so it's sort of this in these times you're going to make the story any time godzilla come in because we're always going to think so. but the environmental message takes a back seat to the monster criticize the last godzilla movie having too much. as it was world we just live in a camera. star really bobby brown i see sums up godzilla's true of the sun you. wonder what he's above you know. 1 with less plot and more bad ass battles this godzilla movie is one for the things. and the fans are eating it up i love that don't bother us with too much plot scott

roxboro has joined me in the studio ok scott i know that you are a huge godzilla fan to get this superlative of wants or felt make it live up to your expectations well the new film ok it's credibly cheesy the dialogue is horrendous it's basically the plot is basically just a series of excuses to get to the next big battle between lizards and godzilla monsters yeah so in short i loved it but. that's exactly what i want from a godzilla movie i see a lot of critics who complained who said you know there's no character development in this movie and you don't go to a godzilla movie for character development you go to a godzilla movie thing to see godzilla kick but to see godzilla go up against rodin and then be the huge 3 headed elian lizard king didor yeah that's exactly that's exactly what this battle ok so it's really delivering godzilla has been around for ages i think it's 65 years so that makes it one of the most enduring film franchises of all time so what is the secret of its. i think credible longevity i

don't know it's interesting i think it's maybe a combination of the silly but also but the sublime i mean the movies have always been this year off and this well there's there's that that's always sort of been there but i mean the original movie it goes back to 1054 was the original one and it was sort of a rip off of monster movies from the u.s. can call and come up 2 years earlier there was a film called the beast from 2000 fathoms and so this was sort of a japanese rip off of that and the 1st the 1st one was ridiculous the cheesy i mean it's basically just a guy in a rubber suit laying waste to a train version of tokyo but you have to remember this came out just a decade or so after the 2nd world war where tokyo had panicked suffered the atomic structure. and this really resonated godzilla really resonated was seen as a as a as a warning of the dangers of atomic power godzilla because obviously the baby is a version of america and the threat is served to japan so it does have

a deeper deeper resonance yeah and. and i think also what's made the movie so interesting the figure was also interesting is that he's always ambivalent he's sort of an antihero sometimes is viewed as a dangerous monster threatening things i mean he's laid waste to tokyo so many times that tokyo the japanese construction industry must be must be thanking i mean it may create so many jobs those people but but at the same time he's often then also seen as in this new movie as a savior someone who protects tokyo or the world but i'm from outside so that's why this yes oh this this this this ambivalence is quite unique to the to the to the monsters that we're used to seeing on it's amazing that godzilla is one of japan's most recognized pop culture symbols and that doesn't show any sign of stopping to it no it doesn't and it's interesting in japan japan's got centuries of cultural tradition it's one of the most advanced. industrial societies in the world and what they're mainly what they're best known for maybe internationally is a. a cheesy radioactive lizard but i mean i grew up with godzilla movies watch them

on. t.v. and pop culture in west pop culture is soaked with with with godzilla and you see that in the parody started coming almost immediately in the 1960 s. we have 1st parodies the cartoon bambi meets godzilla don't know if you know a classic. from 1969 bambi doesn't get off too well in this cartoon let's just wait for it. wait for the. yeah yeah and then after you saw parodies all through you saw advertising. took over this is a commercial from nike of the ninety's with charles barkley confronting. this you see that western culture has adopted has as sort of these loving parodies of godzilla not something that shows how the character is and has been really for decades fantastic stuff thanks very much for bringing us that scott ross perot godzilla king of the monsters obviously want to see with lots of popcorn going to

donald trump is going to have a look at it i don't know i don't know the environmental subtext for half maybe that old baby which of the seems like a film for thanks so much for joining me. more testosterone coming up as who again is the title of the most recent book in our ongoing series 100 german must read a debut novel for author philip think and it promptly got him shortlisted for the german book award for his narrative takes us into a violent world of social misfits who are always ready to pick a fight and soccer is just one of many outlets for their rage. most books don't require mouth guards but most books are about bringing people. to. whom. sorry hooligan by philip think law isn't most novels it packs

a testosterone filled punch from the very 1st the lines it's a book about rage about soccer hooligans fans who care more about beating each other to a pulp and they care about the sport itself. the messed up hero in this novel is heiko a misfit in his late twenties raised by his alcoholic father abandoned by his mother and his girlfriend up and left him too for him the hooligans are the family he doesn't have a family he beats up rival gangs with. the bros don't take place in the stadiums the real action is in the woods or in parking lots places where the police won't find the hooligans so fast. i swallow my mouth guard bite down the nervousness is only just an aftertaste we form 3 rows across the width of the path the adrenaline courses through my body i get light headed hooligan is the psychological portrait of a young man who has given up on everything except his own rage you enter a world that plays by its own rules written with such rawness that you'll think

that author philip finkler must be a hooligan himself some people complain that literature doesn't have enough to do with real life or what could be realer than a punch to the face. once upon a time a europeans referred to africa as the dark continent and in many parts of the world african stories still only make it into the news when there are things like political crises disease outbreaks or even environmental disasters which is why a collective of photographers african and non african alike created the instagram account every day africa and the recent annual media conference the global media for on the platform had its own exhibition to shed some light on the stories beyond the headlines. very extraordinary and africa beyond the news and the stereotypes these are the images of africa that every day

africa wants to get across. the. u.s. journalist austin merrill co-founded the project while on assignment in ivory coast . he and another co-founder a photographer were supposed to be telling another typical story of an african country in crisis but then we felt like the most important thing we could do in that moment was to look around and see that for most of the people around us they were living very normal lives much like i might be back home or anyone might be here in europe. what started off as an instagram account and 2012 rapidly group of people shared the hash tag every day africa and other photographers from around the continent began sending contributions including ethiopian photo journalist my header high lissa lassie. really it's almost like a sketch book for me it's really almost what i see every day watching every day and

it's sometimes if the movie star sometimes it's happy or sometimes it's just ordinary. the images in every day africa show the interconnectedness the common experiences of people across the continent you know this is buying stuff home so my you know it kind of froze up or some cheese. is a concentration in 3 choirs but at the same time it's her really a very normal and ordinary singing you can find anywhere enough and i think that we have a lot of scenes makes us think you're safe it's kind o. for you it's from. after 7 years on the line every day africa has evolved into more than just an instagram account they published a book and they showed their images to schools both inside and outside africa they're trying to change the image of the continent in the international press while they may still have a long way to go every day in africa success has highlighted the desire and the

need to see africa through a different lens. and just so you know every day africa has almost 400000 followers on instagram so i highly recommend that you check out some of their fantastic work well that does bring us to the end of the show but don't forget to check out the website at e.w. dot com slash culture and with that it's time for us to sign off so until next time over best interests and bye bye. moving.
