01.06.2019: DNA of Tokusatsu Exhibit Recap & News Catchup

Gretchen and Kyle discuss the DNA of Tokusatsu Exhibit happening now in Tokyo, and follow that discussion up with a long overdue amount of news coverage. We here at the Kaijucast all hope you had a nice holiday break and a happy new year celebration! I just returned from Japan and sat down with Gretchen to chat about the recent exhibit that opened in Tokyo, the DNA of Tokusatsu. The exhibit was absolutely amazing and I’ve uploaded a gallery to the Kaijucast Facebook page so you can see the awesomeness for yourself, if you’d like.
