![Godzilla – Global Pop Culture Icon [FULL TALK]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Vzj82iq0xz0/mqdefault.jpg "Godzilla – Global Pop Culture Icon [FULL TALK]
Track Godzilla’s massive cultural footprint, from 1954 to today.
With a film franchise spanning eight consecutive decades, Godzilla is one of the world’s most recognisable screen icons.
Referenced by The Simpsons and Spielberg alike, and popping up in videogames, literature and lexicon (suffix “-zilla” as anything monstrous), the king of monsters has captured the imaginations of creators across eras and mediums with his distinctive roar, thunderous gait and penchant for destroying miniature and CGI cityscapes.
From Japanese cautionary tale to global blockbuster, we unpack the cultural phenomenon that is Godzilla, and the continuing evolution of the franchise, with Andrew Lynch and Silvi Van-Wall.
