Hideko Takamine and Keiji Sada in Ballad of a Worker (Keisuke Kinoshita, 1962
Cast: Hideko Takamine, Keiji Sada, Yoshiko Kuga, Toyozo Yamamoto, Chieko Baisho, Kiyoshi Nonomura, Kin Sugai, Teruko Kishi, Toranosuke Ogawa. Screenplay: Keisuke Kinoshita. Cinematography: Hiroshi Kusuda. Music: Chuji Kinoshita.
Keisuke Kinoshita's sentimental temperament informs this film about 16 years in the lives of Torae (Hideko Takamine) and Yoshio Nanaka (Keiji Sada), beginning with Yoshio's return from the war in 1946 and ending with the graduation of their son, Toshiyuki (Toyozo Yamamoto), from university in 1962. The couple scrimp and save to give their only child an education, hoping that he'll have a better life than theirs: Yoshio works on the roads around their village, and Torae is a housekeeper for his boss. The strength of the film lies in its earnest portrayal of ordinary lives -- even Toshiyuki is only a middling student, which means he has to work his way through college, even with the help of his parents. What it lacks is some wit and irony to leaven the rather plodding narrative.

Chiyari Fuji (Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji, 1955)
"I did nothing. It was all down to my retainer carrying my spear."
"Yes, but a retainer acts on behalf of his master."
"It was my retainer's achievement -"
"Without his master, a retainer is nothing. A retainer acts on behalf of his master. This is the authorities' point of view."

Okay let’s try doing a little monthly roundup of english manga! At least one of these I’m pretty sure is from May but whatever. Eniale & Dewiela by Kamome Shirahama wrapped up at volume 3! This was a really fun series to follow and now really is perfect time to get it if you’re looking for a quick summer read. The much anticipated Boys Run The Riot by Keito Gaku also premiered and I really liked the first volume! They’re putting a lot into it including a brand new cover art for the english edition, I’m really looking forward to the next volumes, always love it when trans creators get to make and share their own stories. AND I feel I haven’t done a good enough of a job telling everyone to read Knight of The Ice by Yayoi Ogawa but you should be reading Knight of The Ice if you’re wondering where all the josei romances are!!!! And it’s always an event when another volume of Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun by Izumi Tsubaki drops, speaking of Tsubaki the final volume of Oresama Teacher should be right around the corner...
In license news.... I have not been very impressed like at all but I’m looking forward to the omnibus release of Daisuke Igarashi’s Witches, the original memoir and manga adaption of Until I Meet my Husband by Ryousuke Nanasaki and Yoshi Tsukizuki, and Robo Sapiens: Tales of Tomorrow by Toranosuke Shimada all from Seven Seas. And Kodansha America will rerelease Osamu Tezuka’s An Ode to Kirihito, Apollo’s Song, and Princess Knight (1963) as hardcover omnibuses! These were titles I justtttt missed out on before they went out of print so I’m absolutely not missing this.

Godzilla (Gojira, 1954) - Episode 58 - Decades of Horror: The Classic Era
“I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species... But if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.” Of course, Godzilla appeared in the world again, many, many times! Join this episode’s Grue Crew - Chad Hunt, Whitney Collazo, and Jeff Mohr - as they go back to 1954 when it all started with Godzilla (original title: Gojira).
Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 58 – Godzilla (1954)
American nuclear weapons testing results in the creation of a seemingly unstoppable, dinosaur-like beast.
IMDb
  Director: Ishirô Honda
Writers: Takeo Murata, Ishirô Honda, Shigeru Kayama (story)
Music: Akira Ifukube
Special Effects Director: Eiji Tsuburaya
Featured Cast:
Akira Takarada as Hideto Ogata
Momoko Kōchi as Emiko Yamane
Akihiko Hirata as Dr. Daisuke Serizawa
Takashi Shimura as Dr. Kyohei Yamane
Fuyuki Murakami as Dr. Tanabe
Sachio Sakai as Hagiwara
Ren Yamamoto as Masaji Yamada
Toyoaki Suzuki as Shinkichi Yamada
Toranosuke Ogawa as President of the Nankai Shipping Company
Kokuten Kōdō as The Old Fisherman
Kenji Sahara as partygoer
Haruo Nakajima as Godzilla and a reporter
Katsumi Tezuka as Godzilla & Newspaper deskman
With the 31 May 2019 release date of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) looming large on the horizon, the Grue Crew decided it was time to cover the original classic from Toho, Godzilla (Gojira, 1954), one of the all-time greats! They also dip a bit into the American version, Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956).
Chad loves all the Godzilla films but this one is special and has a much darker, almost nightmarish, tone than 1960s Godzilla fare. He also talks about how Akira Ifukube created Godzilla’s roar. As a youngster, Whitney was introduced to Godzilla films by her brothers and she found the monster itself to be intimidating and movies to be entertaining. This time around, she spots Honda’s artistic training in his filmmaking. Of course, Jeff dives into the historical relevance and discovers some of the reasons behind the decisions made in the American version. Joseph finds the drama and weight given to the human characters to be extraordinary, giving the military versus the scientist conflict more depth.
The Grue Crew all agree that Godzilla is much more than a monster movie and deserves its place as a genuine cinema classic.
The Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Grue Crew plan to release a new episode every other week. Hey, where else will you hear podcasts on films ranging from King Kong (1933) to Half Human (Jû jin yuki otoko, 1955) to The War of the Gargqantuas (1966)? The next episode in our very flexible schedule will be the first Amicus portmanteau, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965).
Please send us feedback on the films we cover, ideas for future films, or the podcast itself. After all, without you, we’re just four horror freaks talking about the films we love. Send us an email at [email protected] or leave us a message, a review, or a comment at GruesomeMagazine.com, iTunes, the Gruesome Magazine Horror News Radio Facebook group or your friendly neighborhood podcast aggregator.
To each of you from each of us, “Thank you so much for listening!”
Check out this episode!
