The Controversial Japanese Moby Dick Adaptation No One Talks About: The Whale God Review At Forbidden Worlds Film Festival

The Forbidden Worlds Film Festival reviews conclude with 1962’s Japanese Moby Dick adaptation; The Whale God

Mike & Spider-Dan delve into the 1962 kaiju/Moby Dick movie The Whale God, which Mike was hugely looking forward to watching but it has some controversial topics within – although it’s not gratuitous, note the sexual assault trigger warning.

Neither Mike or Dan had seen or heard of this movie before, due to its non-existent UK release, so they were excited to watch it on an IMAX screen at Forbidden Worlds – they review the movie in-depth, talking about the plot, dialogue and kaiju for the first 30 minutes, then give the trigger warning and discuss the sexual assault scenes and the plot implications & character reactions that follow.

Although this is the last review, Mike & Dan still have some interviews to release, so keep an eye out for those before GCC returns to the more regular interview-style pods!

Make sure you check out their reviews of Battle Beyond The Stars, Orca & She Creature on this feed, and check out Spider-Dan’s feed for the other half of their reviews, including Waterworld, The City Of Lost Children, Tremors and more!
