Earthquake, Hurricane, Godzilla

Studio 360

Studio 360 runs for cover. Kurt Andersen and the writer Sebastian Junger look at the ways artists capture the harrowing experience of natural disaster. An artist re-purposes an earthquake. Godzilla is not what you think he is. A photographer of hurricanes gets in over his head. And the cast of Broadway’s Frankie and Johnny explains the meaning of a theatrical “two-hander.”
