00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,840
Welcome to the podcast everyone.

2
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,600
I am your host James.

3
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,920
It's another episode of the polarized podcast, the movie about polarizing movies according

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,920
to rotten tomatoes and we are wrapping up our sequel extravaganza as summer has wrapped

5
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,760
up as well.

6
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,640
We are doing a monster bash.

7
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,640
There's multiple monster bashes.

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,560
They bash, they kick, they gnaw, they bite, they laser, they blazer, they flame, they

9
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,120
heal, they power up, they power down.

10
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,520
These monsters do it all.

11
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,120
The critics did not care for it though.

12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:05,400
They said, nay, nay, nay, we give it 42, stinky, stinky, doodoo 42 to this movie.

13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,480
Even though they liked the first one, they say no to the second.

14
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,400
They come back around later in the franchise.

15
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,640
But checking in with the audience here, we got a pretty spicy 83% because I just know

16
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,000
you guys love those numbies.

17
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
So we got to get that out of the way so we can have all the fun just like they just power

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,440
through the beginning of this movie with a lot of stuff.

19
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,840
And so then you just have all the fun with the battles.

20
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Before I get into the movie though, it is not me monologuing as I am prone to do sometimes

21
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,840
when you get me, get me going about anything related to dinosaurs.

22
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,680
There's some dinosaur looking things in this movie.

23
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,680
That's what I call them.

24
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Dinosaur looking things, I haven't figured it out, they're Titans.

25
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,680
It's the world of Titans now.

26
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,640
Thanks to Monarch.

27
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,760
It's a whole world.

28
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,920
They built it out.

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,440
I'm so excited to discuss it because what else would I do after a movie like this just

30
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,360
sit and have to ponder like I did last time, the first time I watched it?

31
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Because I don't remember talking about this movie, but I don't know.

32
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,680
I'm not sure many people saw it.

33
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,240
I don't know if it was as successful as the first one.

34
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,800
I was about to bring someone in.

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,920
Let's bring him in.

36
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:31,440
If there was a Godzilla to my Kong or vice versa.

37
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,200
I don't know which one is which.

38
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,200
He would be it.

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,480
It's the great brand, Dini versus a forever guess.

40
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,640
Yes, yes, yes.

41
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:40,640
Let's go.

42
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:41,640
Let's go.

43
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:42,640
Kaiju.

44
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:43,640
Kaiju.

45
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:48,600
I am excited to talk about a Kaiju movie, man, because yeah, it's just so fun.

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,400
You know, both of us have been playing

47
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040
armored core and the way that I would describe this.

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,240
Fires of Rubicon and fires of Rubicon is like

49
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,000
and then like a beer and then like.

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,080
And then yeah, yeah, yeah.

51
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,080
Totally.

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,080
A lot of that stuff.

53
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,440
It's just so tight to.

54
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,800
Shields activated.

55
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,880
M.O. 50 percent.

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,640
A.P. 30 percent.

57
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,640
It's I was.

58
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,720
I was going to love this movie.

59
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,120
I think I was thinking about it just regardless to a degree because of the

60
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520
history that I have with this type of movie.

61
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:41,920
So I don't know about you, but weirdly, my dad had in at the house,

62
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,920
VHS copies of dubbed versions.

63
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,640
No way.

64
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Old school Godzilla.

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Cool.

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,040
It was something that I had grown up with is Godzilla.

67
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,280
And my because and it's just why I say it's funny that my dad owned it is

68
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,000
because he got such an enormous kick out of how bad the dubbing is because this.

69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Sure.

70
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,800
Like the old school Godzilla is such a like

71
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,880
stereotypical example of like people's mouths would move and then what they would

72
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,680
say would like start after their mouth stop moving or obviously like their lips

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,320
and their and what they're saying have don't match what's like a lot of like

74
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,880
kung fu movies and stuff to you at the time.

75
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Absolutely.

76
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,120
But I was absolutely enthralled with it because it is very cool that there's

77
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,840
this giant monster having battles with other monsters like.

78
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240
It's hard for that concept not to be kind of fucking cool.

79
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,720
Like I you know, we could maybe point out some movies that are like do it.

80
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,720
Orally.

81
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,120
Oh, well, I mean, now that you bring that up, that brings me into my history,

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,760
which is embarrassing, but I didn't have a have a cool one.

83
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,760
My dad was cool in many other ways, but he was not a old school Godzilla guy.

84
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:05,000
But we he did take me to go see the great 1998 Matthews Roderick Helm's film.

85
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:10,000
Godzilla in theaters at the age of eight when I saw it.

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
And I thought it was the coolest fucking coolest fucking thing ever.

87
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560
Like I know people don't like that movie and I realized now it's not.

88
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,760
It's not a great representation, maybe of the great esteemed Godzilla character.

89
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,480
And there's many other movies that people would point to.

90
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:25,480
But that was my introduction.

91
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,920
And I'm sure it introduced a lot of young American boys to Godzilla at that time in 1998.

92
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,920
1998.

93
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,920
And I had a fucking great time.

94
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,320
And I remember walking out of that theater like fuck the egg hatched.

95
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,880
There's another Godzilla there and they're going to make a sequel.

96
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,680
And I kept on waiting for that sequel and I just like realized later in my life,

97
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,480
you know, those movies that you thought were so great.

98
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,160
You're like, oh, that's why there wasn't a sequel.

99
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,360
That's a yeah, it's a really.

100
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,320
It's not as good as I hoped it was.

101
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,480
It's a great example of a movie that it was.

102
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,240
Enthralling as a young person because of the very simple bare bones concept of it.

103
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,880
But then as an adult, you read this and you go like, where is what is this saying?

104
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Like, you know, kind of meat and potatoes of a human existence.

105
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,320
And condition and emotion.

106
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,560
Oh, and what is that going to do in the marketing and the toys and all of that stuff

107
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,560
just works so well.

108
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,200
I remember the Taco Bell commercial was was a like, I don't know.

109
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,120
It was like playing along.

110
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,800
It was always so fun.

111
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,080
That was one that you while I was sitting there with the trap.

112
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,200
I think he says we're going to need a bigger box.

113
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,520
You'll care about the bell.

114
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Wow.

115
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,480
Sort of he does the Jaws thing.

116
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,120
We're going to need a bigger box.

117
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,680
He's got a little box with a taco there and he thinks Godzilla is going to go for it.

118
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,760
Because in that movie, that's one of the plot points is they just lure him with a big pile of fish.

119
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,360
What a dumb movie.

120
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,560
What a stupid movie.

121
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,000
So again, looking back on it, because you know, it's so funny too, as I just think

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,640
about how like weird and gross it is too, that is very like alien ask.

123
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,240
And it just, yeah, there was a lot of concepts in the that Matthew Broderick

124
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,320
version of Godzilla that could be cool.

125
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:13,280
But again, yeah, after you realize that all the characters suck and Godzilla

126
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,760
doesn't really fight anybody.

127
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,880
All it is is the whole movie is lead up to Godzilla existing.

128
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,120
And then there's a little bit of destruction, but it's relatively well,

129
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,600
especially for this movie, relatively minimal.

130
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,360
And they make them look like a dinosaur essentially.

131
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,560
It's really a dinosaur.

132
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440
It's like doesn't look like the classic kind of classic.

133
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Like the structure, like the the the the.

134
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,600
The posture and it's more hunched over like a velociraptor kind of like

135
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:47,280
Jurassic Park in the 1998 one and just so much overblown CGI and everything.

136
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,840
And like helicopter chases through the buildings and and shit like that.

137
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,880
And just like this humor that from my memory, I just didn't didn't play super

138
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,200
well.

139
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,760
And then it they put it to rest for such a long time and then cut to and I and

140
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,360
I went for it and I revisited the first one in this franchise of movies.

141
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,560
The Godzilla of 2014, I believe it is.

142
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960
When that one came out with their interior Taylor Johnson, the Gareth Evans,

143
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,560
is that his name?

144
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Gareth Evans.

145
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,640
Yeah.

146
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,840
And yeah, it's funny.

147
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,240
Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olson are husband and wife in that movie.

148
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,360
And then they play brother and sister in a different movie.

149
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,280
It's kind of funny.

150
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,160
I forgot about that.

151
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:33,360
But yeah, just yeah, comparing even that one to this, the first Godzilla

152
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,280
in this franchise and even this one to that that one, you know, the that one

153
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,280
is the 2014 Godzilla.

154
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,240
I keep on doing this and that.

155
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:49,800
But the 2014 Godzilla is so serious and like no no laughs really in that movie.

156
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,520
Like I die and it's a big deal.

157
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,760
And there's so much build up to even revealing Godzilla in full form and

158
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,440
having, you know, a more of a singular battle near the end.

159
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,680
There's some there's some other stuff where there's some destruction and

160
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,720
but they're kind of shying away from it.

161
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,720
And they're showing the more boots on the ground approach of the terror and

162
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:18,720
of the lead up and fall out of of a monster existing and the characters

163
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,320
are characters are very, you know, are much deeper.

164
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,480
Even though, you know, the yeah, Brian Cranston is still a catches you off guard.

165
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,000
How unceremoniously kind of is taken away.

166
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,760
45 minutes into the movie and how similar he kind of is to Kyle Chandler

167
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,760
in this movie was kind of like seeing it next to each other.

168
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:43,040
Maybe I mean, as the relationship between him and a Vera played out that, you know,

169
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
couldn't be done with maybe with his character.

170
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,160
But it was just something else like, Oh, well, yeah, he was studying this.

171
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,640
These what should we call it the sonar stuff.

172
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,240
And that was like that was a big thing that Brian Cranston was saying when

173
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,400
leading up to the Godzilla attacks was just like, Oh, there's like this.

174
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,800
There's these, you know, bees communicating each other with sonar.

175
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,640
And that's what's going on with the nuclear power plant and everything.

176
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:16,560
But very serious movie, very like Dower and but also great and interesting

177
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:21,280
in a in a different way that doesn't hit the same notes that a lot of these movies do.

178
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,600
And, you know, even generic as they may be, this one does those things very well.

179
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,760
All the globe, shouting, all the all the quips, all the more like Michael Bay,

180
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,480
like one liner sort of stuff.

181
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,040
That's all in this movie.

182
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,800
And in the first one, yeah, it's just it's just more of like a self serious,

183
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,480
restrained, very like gray and black.

184
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,320
Hard to hard to see at times, but also looks like an amazing.

185
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Like it's really it's shot really well.

186
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,120
And I think of that like him as a director has a really great Michael

187
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Dowery, well, Geerth, I was just kind of just running through the first one for

188
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,520
I just that whole scene of and it's in that trailer as well.

189
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,440
It's just a great trailer, great trailer for this movie, too.

190
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,080
But in the first one where it just shows the guys parachuting down

191
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,400
with the red smoke on their on their feet and everything and the the soundtrack

192
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,560
and score leading up to that is very coral.

193
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,840
There's and they bring that over to this one with like the yeah,

194
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,200
kind of a choir kind of doing those like primal chance.

195
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Love it, love all that stuff.

196
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,440
But yeah, just want to give a little like background as some I like revisiting

197
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,080
that one, did you catch that one in theaters?

198
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,880
I remember there's a lot of hype for that.

199
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,440
And for some people, I remember there's a little bit of a let down for like,

200
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,480
oh, not enough battles, not enough.

201
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,880
I'm sure in my Godzilla movie is more about the forget those monsters.

202
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,960
They like it's a pair.

203
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,480
It's a male and female on that one.

204
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,720
I just, you know, I agree with you a lot about the tone

205
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,720
and the objective of the first one.

206
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,640
But I think it's just such an interesting like result and culmination

207
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,160
of how movie franchises have developed over the years.

208
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,040
And there's a lot of like some of the better parts of them being represented

209
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,360
in this franchise where they set the first one up with the intention,

210
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:16,520
really seeming on being there being a second one, really having the fourth

211
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,960
thought, which like.

212
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:24,280
The monster verse for better or for worse, like so many of these major studios

213
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,880
have been trying to create these, you know, cinematic universes.

214
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,280
And the most successful versions of it are always the one that don't

215
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,480
course correct to include them.

216
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,320
They just set out from the get go to have them.

217
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,160
And I think that this movie benefits from them

218
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,320
understanding that this is how it's going to go, like really kind of seeing the

219
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,840
success of.

220
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Well, it's like it's almost not

221
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,840
successful, but like proof of concept is it's like, let it let us introduce

222
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:03,160
with this new type of Godzilla, let us introduce this new type of King Kong

223
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:09,480
and seeing them be successful and understanding that there is an end to

224
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,760
it having that in the background, but testing them out. It's almost like to me,

225
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:21,160
the idea of like with Dune is that they technically didn't have the second one.

226
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Green lit, but they were going to do it like they had the story planned out,

227
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,000
obviously.

228
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,640
And then based on the success of it, it then easily green lit the second and then

229
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,280
they went into production. And I think that it is ends up creating such a better

230
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,720
product when you are like, here is the story I would like to tell over multiple

231
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,320
movies, even though that is very like,

232
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:55,160
you know, ballsy or to do that, I'm sure in Hollywood to pitch like,

233
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,000
you know, not only am I pitching a movie, but I'm in pitching a whole entire

234
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,760
franchise, which I'm sure it probably gets picked up pretty easily given the

235
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,320
state of things. But nonetheless, like

236
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:12,360
it is also too interesting how much of a product the first one is in King Kong as

237
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:18,280
well of like boots on the ground is what's interesting to people.

238
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,080
And then there needs to be also the really big like the

239
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,760
the Pacific Rim of it all.

240
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,160
Or like to me, this is almost looking at

241
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Zack Snyder or Christopher Nolan is how we're going to do the characters.

242
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,840
And then we're going to look at like a Michael Bay or a

243
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,240
Guillermo del Toro for the big guys and then just creating like a really

244
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,920
interesting like homage and hybrid between the two and having it be relatively

245
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,600
successful. Another thing too is this reminds me so much of Matt Reeves as well.

246
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,160
Like him coming into doing the

247
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,720
the kind of the Apes franchise franchise.

248
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,440
And he's the Batman guy, right?

249
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:00,160
And he's the Batman.

250
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,840
And then the Apes is a good example, too, for sure.

251
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Yeah, like those should not work as well as they do.

252
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,200
Right. Exactly.

253
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,800
But I think there is a really great understanding of the balance.

254
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Like, God, there's just so many things.

255
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,920
I'm sorry, like flying through my mind too.

256
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Oh, no, I.

257
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,080
This all this also too is like a really kind of great analog to

258
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,840
to James Cameron coming into or like how he would make a second version.

259
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:35,680
Is that you have your like what Ridley Scott did, the first alien.

260
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,080
And then him having this very character driven,

261
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,600
smaller picture that tack that introduces a big idea.

262
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,760
But then the second one coming in and going like, OK, perfect.

263
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,600
So you set up that there's this is how the world operates.

264
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,640
Now we're going to just give people this really like a massive, massive, massive

265
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:56,800
scale of a movie.

266
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,360
Like, it's so crazy to just see these battles unfold because they're like

267
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,880
taking over a whole like island or like a side of a continent, it feels like.

268
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,240
And they're just like

269
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:16,160
and they well established like what the monster does and sets it.

270
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,800
And then and then they're off and we're off to the races.

271
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,120
It's it's really quite something where I was consistently being like, wow.

272
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Wow, look at this. Yeah. We're just.

273
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,560
Wow, I want it.

274
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Yeah, man.

275
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,600
These are these monsters are going at it.

276
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,560
And the thing I I think this franchise has

277
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,480
unassumably like maybe in my own mind, I've seen all the movies, but I didn't

278
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,960
just think about it until doing this podcast as much as like, wow, as a whole.

279
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,320
They're doing a good job with this franchise.

280
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Like damn, like because I watched that first one and leading up to this one.

281
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,600
Oh, right. I love how open.

282
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,320
I see why comic books work well for this, too.

283
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,720
But I love how open ended it can be.

284
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,360
But you can tell singular stories within within the universe or whatever.

285
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,800
And these are, yeah, I mean, how Godzilla is, you know,

286
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,520
him as a character, you know, he's just a he's a force of nature.

287
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,800
He's not as much a character.

288
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,520
So him moving and changing.

289
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,800
Like he says anything.

290
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Yeah.

291
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,160
But I just I love how we understand his point of view, but we kind of do some

292
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:30,480
knowingly, but we kind of have this point of view that he's trying to create balance.

293
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,400
If I understand things correctly, like that's the force he is.

294
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,800
No, I just I think it's great how

295
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,880
they could have ended the first one and it still would have been great.

296
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,640
They could have ended it.

297
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,760
They could end at this one and still be fine.

298
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,640
Or these are all like all and then in Kong skull Kong skull Island.

299
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,520
You can end it there.

300
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,920
You're fine as well.

301
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,200
Like you can take each of these.

302
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,800
And if you just watch even any of them on their own, you would get it.

303
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,520
You could watch Godzilla versus Kong and be like, this is fun.

304
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,000
I get it. I didn't need to watch other ones.

305
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,120
And I think that's very special within within this franchise.

306
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,320
And I think what you gave are good examples, but also within those examples,

307
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,040
a lot of them,

308
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,480
hint, some of them at least hinge upon the first one to see and understand and everything.

309
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,600
These are so fun.

310
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,040
Yeah, regardless, and to be able to take to take like a new cast of characters each time

311
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,080
and approach this and Kong skull line as Kong skull Island is a, you know,

312
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,360
awesome period piece and and, you know, a whole set of new characters and camp

313
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:37,560
is shit and done in a way that's not contrived like like contrived in a very

314
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,800
manufactured contrived and sort of way.

315
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,960
But this one has has some great camps.

316
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,600
So there's some there's some stuff that gets a little much and some

317
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,200
humor doesn't land really super well.

318
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,440
And they didn't have that in the first one.

319
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,080
They have in this one.

320
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,720
It doesn't really work super well.

321
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,600
But you kind of want some of that to know that you're like,

322
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,000
that I can have we can have fun here.

323
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,520
Like, oh my God, the door is open.

324
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,600
Yeah, like the guy.

325
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,200
One in.

326
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,000
I need I need to know that actor's name.

327
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,080
But the guy from Billy Madison, the villain in Billy Madison says a lot of

328
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,040
quippy stuff with the glasses and the gray hair and him and it was a gen.

329
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,360
And I don't know what his they have kind of a back and forth.

330
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,920
Oh, you're talking about Bradley Whitford.

331
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,240
Bradley Whitford, his stuff works OK on me because he's he's a son of a bunch.

332
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,520
And I rageous in this movie.

333
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,960
He is not taking anything seriously.

334
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,440
Yeah, it gets a little much sometimes.

335
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Like if anything, there's no stopping him because, you know, like you said,

336
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,160
he's the villain in Billy Madison, but he's also a main character on West Wing.

337
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:49,040
Right. Just just a absolutely revered show like that, especially

338
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,080
for people who write movies now.

339
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:58,160
Like if you were to take a writer for a current IP, whatever,

340
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:00,840
if you were to ask them, how do you feel about West Wing?

341
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,360
They would probably love it.

342
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,040
They were so again. Oh, yeah.

343
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,800
It's just what inspired me to get into making this movie that we're talking about.

344
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,960
And so to have Bradley Whitford in there is like a homage and understanding

345
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,120
of like what he's bringing to the table and understanding the importance of

346
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,760
somebody who is going to deliver those snarky lines.

347
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,360
So incredible.

348
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,640
Yeah. And I think it's almost a similar performance in like cabin in the woods

349
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,800
when he's been in like the control panel just like making quips with Richard

350
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,680
Jenkins and Richard Jenkins is another.

351
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,640
Yeah, that's some of that.

352
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,560
And it's like it doesn't land every time.

353
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,280
But it's but it's it's fun to know that you can have fun.

354
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,440
Talk about who?

355
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,920
Charles dance. I want to get on the dance.

356
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:53,920
Yeah, I mean, that brings us into the the opening scene with the

357
00:20:53,920 --> 00:21:01,440
Mothra and and all of all of that stuff and him storming in bad

358
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,560
immediately because he kills a guy.

359
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,880
Yeah, actually, you know what?

360
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,640
This is since it's been just a little bit before, you know,

361
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,320
since I've seen this before recording this,

362
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,880
can you tell can you open us up with plot of where we're at?

363
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,720
Into the Charles dance of it all.

364
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Well, yeah, sure.

365
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,760
Because it starts with a like almost a bat a Batman versus Superman opening

366
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,320
of Ben Affleck like I was there on the ground when you were fucking taken down

367
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,440
those buildings and it's the same with Kyle Chandler and Vera and

368
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,600
little Millie Bobby Brown are like there.

369
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,080
Great.

370
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,960
Yeah, I love those.

371
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,000
I love so many of the actors in this movie, man.

372
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,440
Like, yeah, dude.

373
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,120
What did I say?

374
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,080
Bear kisses or bear hugs or whatever.

375
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Give her bear kisses.

376
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,320
That whole little scene of them like, oh, this is fun chemistry.

377
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,000
They got it.

378
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,440
Absolutely.

379
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,240
So it shows like they were there on the ground.

380
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,680
They saw Godzilla.

381
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,680
Godzilla is instrumental in the death of their son,

382
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:09,680
which tore apart their family, led him to drink and and then to get a divorce.

383
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Millie Bobby Brown is now with Vera in China at one of the monarch facilities

384
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:24,240
studying and gestating a pupa, if you are a larva.

385
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,800
Oh, yeah, of a mothra.

386
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,920
And they and they do that thing and where it's a blow fell thing a little bit

387
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:39,120
in Skyfall or whatever where it's or Spectre, sorry, Spectre, where it's like

388
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:45,160
James, I know I'm so I'm rushing out of everything.

389
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:48,040
I don't fucking I was going to get it.

390
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,000
I was going to correct myself if you gave me two seconds.

391
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,440
It started with an S.

392
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,560
I'm just going to get the fucking brandy is already

393
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,880
sharpening the pitchwork.

394
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,080
I saw him.

395
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,600
It's it's the one thing for people that don't know who are listening to this

396
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,440
podcast is that my was bond is like is our shit so hardcore.

397
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,760
And so that's the only reason I am the author of your pain.

398
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,840
You're like a what is it a kite?

399
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,240
Dancing dancing.

400
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,520
Where it's on.

401
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,440
Yeah. So anyways, this is like I am on Stavro Blofeld.

402
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,000
And you're like, you're supposed to be like, oh, fuck, that means something.

403
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,960
And they do the same thing where it's like it's Mothra and like.

404
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,520
And it's like, I mean, I know that everybody is like,

405
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,200
but they might as well just look right down the lens of the camera and be like,

406
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,920
we can't hit some fucking Mothra.

407
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,840
And then that happens like five more times in the movie where

408
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,640
that I do like that.

409
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,400
I know all the names, but in the movie, that's what I'm saying.

410
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,880
There is the longest time it's done better than others.

411
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,400
I don't know, specimen one or some bullshit like that.

412
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,320
And I'm like, just call it Geedra.

413
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,960
I like the little bit of like discovery rather than like it's fucking cool.

414
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,120
Cool name right given right to you,

415
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,280
especially for a newer, newer fan.

416
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,400
I mean, I know Mothra, but it eventually becomes

417
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,760
the girl from Rush Hour Two.

418
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,440
Jean's Zee or Jean.

419
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,480
Yeah, she is pretty much her job to tell everybody's names.

420
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,080
And yeah, sometimes it's better than others where it's like, oh,

421
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,800
it's the people here in this village call it the great Radam.

422
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,280
You know, I like that.

423
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,920
I like that a lot too.

424
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:43,240
Because then it's like a, you know, it's a it's like part of folklore.

425
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,560
And within the different

426
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:52,320
of the world, I love that all building to based on real gods of lore of the of when

427
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,560
humanity was was ancient and the fact that it is like whatever,

428
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,880
it's not specimen zero or whatever, like fucking Titan zero.

429
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,000
Yeah, Titan.

430
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,800
Yeah, yeah.

431
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,240
And then when you finally, oh, King, good.

432
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,400
Oh, he's a false king.

433
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,240
Like all that stuff is rad.

434
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,160
And then it's like Kenwa Nabi's job to end the first

435
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,920
and second one just to kind of stare off and be like,

436
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:20,760
whoa, because of Kenwa Nabi, we get it both ways.

437
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,680
We get Godzilla and Kuzura.

438
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,280
Yes, I do.

439
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,640
It means so much to me when I hear him.

440
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,640
And when I hear I'm like, oh, what a way to have your cake and eat it too.

441
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,400
And it go down so smooth.

442
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,880
This I know this is later in the movie.

443
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,680
But did you notice what happened to his assistant?

444
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,280
Because she just disappeared at some point.

445
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,840
No, I don't.

446
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,440
She was there at like the trial thing and then they take off.

447
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:52,200
And she was there for a bit after and then like at the end, he's like giving

448
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:59,240
the stuff to Zheng and I'm like, what about his assistant?

449
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:01,800
Oh, OK, like we're done.

450
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,280
I have the whole first movie at the first half of the.

451
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,120
I was like, I didn't remember like a death scene.

452
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:07,760
And like, I figured she should be there.

453
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,880
Like, OK, bye.

454
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,320
We had so many so much memories.

455
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,440
I just watched the first one.

456
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:14,920
So that's that's probably why.

457
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,840
But she was in a little bit of this one, too.

458
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,360
That even just the lowest level employee, you're coming up to them and going.

459
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,200
Hey, who are you?

460
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,160
She was instrumental in the tape in in the first one and in everything that that

461
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,840
came after and then she just disappeared.

462
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,880
I don't know. It's these characters like Brian Cranston, you know,

463
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,920
we also can introduce to way to Millie Bobby Brown with Wave and Meetalation.

464
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,560
That was I know how cool she is.

465
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,800
I know God. Yeah.

466
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,320
She's so cool, right?

467
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:50,040
And kind of a wave of me, relation is kind of emblematic of the movie.

468
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,560
I know because of all the radiation

469
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,960
and all the destruction.

470
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,760
And I said, what did I say?

471
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,600
DJ soundboard. Oh, that's when I first she pulled out the orca.

472
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,920
She was like, and then got her got Mothra back down to to Earth.

473
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,360
And then I started you start seeing the crash zooms,

474
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,720
a little bit of the crash zooms start to come out of like this movie.

475
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,840
Oh, God, this movie also benefits so much that so like so many of the scenes are at night.

476
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,200
A lot. Yes.

477
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,200
A lot of it is at night and like snow.

478
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,520
You can just the monster water come out like a blackness or some type of

479
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:37,480
like background and just appear like you are on a like a ride at Universal Studios

480
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,760
or something, it just is so much of your like as the audience member experiencing

481
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,760
the monsters is here is this character you watch walk out to the monster.

482
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,560
And then you get a zoomed out perspective of how small that person is with the monster.

483
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,760
And it just creates scales so incredibly well that you can just understand

484
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,120
that these monsters are enormous.

485
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,640
Yeah, I love that part of just

486
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:09,800
it only doesn't work when they do a little bit too many stare downs in this movie,

487
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,840
where they just look at each other and it's just like trying to imagine like me

488
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,560
looking at an aunt.

489
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,640
It could. Right.

490
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,560
And I could I've seen an aunt, but I'm just wondering like,

491
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,960
be like, oh, yeah, we're we're having a moment me and this aunt.

492
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,920
Right. Because I mean, to your point is like, you're not looking at an aunt is like.

493
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:35,200
Whatever you're doing is also tied into my success as well.

494
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,800
Yeah, I'm just a fucking.

495
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,600
Yeah, I just work on instincts, baby.

496
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,560
Yeah, like I'm I'm a king.

497
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000
I'm a king.

498
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,560
So one of my first notes is I have a crush on Sally Hawkins.

499
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,000
So let's talk about her performance a little bit.

500
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,200
How do you feel about Sally Hawkins?

501
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:02,600
Is what character is I think she's just so that's the assistant.

502
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:03,960
That's what I'm talking about.

503
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,320
Oh, that is. Oh, my God.

504
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,480
You're talking about the low level employee and you don't even know who I'm talking about.

505
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,360
Here's the Kim Hotton Abbey's assistant, Dr.

506
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,120
Vivian Graham, is her character.

507
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,040
That's what happened to her.

508
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,640
I mean, yeah, no, she got smushed by Ghidra.

509
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,960
Did she I missed?

510
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:23,720
How did I miss that?

511
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,920
Yeah, damn, because I was bummed out about it.

512
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,040
I one of my one of my notes was no Sally Hawkins.

513
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,760
She got smushed by Ghidra.

514
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,760
I must have been writing a note or some shit.

515
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,280
And what's seen what scene was that?

516
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,360
Like, oh, I just and I am sorry.

517
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,840
I just couldn't consider her an assistant to anything.

518
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,840
Right. Because every time she's on screen, I'm like, you are just.

519
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,720
Just captivating me because she I don't know.

520
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,600
She yeah, she was in.

521
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,040
Shape of water and then she's also in

522
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,080
blue, what is it? Blue Jasmine.

523
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,960
What's the?

524
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:03,840
Is that the word? Yeah.

525
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,360
Not being it. Yeah.

526
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,800
Yeah, this movie.

527
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,400
And she she's so great in that too.

528
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,440
And it just she just has said I just I love the way that she looks.

529
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,520
I love the way that she acts because she just has.

530
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,120
Yeah, such a conviction, such an earnestness to her.

531
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:25,480
She like is there ready to play getting into the weeds of like because it just

532
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,160
it must always be so weird as an actor doing a movie like this where your

533
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:35,160
direction is that there's this crazy mystical beast that's doing X, Y,

534
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,200
and Z and you have to react to it.

535
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,480
And the way that she handles it is just always wonderful because she just

536
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,160
brings a sense of like grounded like Karen.

537
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,560
Yeah, it's just the best.

538
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,800
Damn, I need a really visit and see it.

539
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,240
I was that's what I was I must have just blacked out for a second.

540
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,960
It's crazy.

541
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,600
It's OK. Rip.

542
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,120
Sally Hawkins, man, lover.

543
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,400
Then Charles Danes.

544
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,280
So I brought that up.

545
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,280
That's how we started.

546
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,560
This movie like goes fast in like the first like 20 to 30 minutes.

547
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,840
It's like pumping through like from the point where it's like establishing this

548
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,000
new family and then they're separated there in

549
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,760
summer like the Vera and Millie are in China and he's studying wolves.

550
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:29,400
And then it just moves into the Mothra stuff so quickly they get kidnapped.

551
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,320
And it's already just like Kyle Chandler is like on the move to get them back.

552
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,600
And they're already like giving Kyle Chandler a lot of information about

553
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,440
like what's about to go down with all these Titans and they.

554
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,760
There's 17 of them is they tell him at one time and Ken.

555
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,120
Yeah, Ken Wan, Nabi is like, yeah, we believe some of them are benevolent.

556
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,280
Charles Danes is a British Army general turned eco terrorist

557
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,840
restoring the natural order and you said traffic Titan DNA.

558
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,720
I was just like, I was like, this is where I miss so much death.

559
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,120
I was like, I want to get some of these details because what is going like?

560
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,960
Who is this guy? Anyways, can I just say though with Charles Danes?

561
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,840
Like, God, do I love the choice of him being?

562
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,640
Yeah, because he's so scary.

563
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,520
But I just I'm going to be real like I don't, you know, that's what this.

564
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,880
Oh, getting real good.

565
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,760
I'm movies.

566
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,200
We're homies.

567
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,360
That's everybody come in if you want to get real.

568
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,360
Get the hell out of your.

569
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:35,520
And if you don't want to get real, get the hell out of here.

570
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,960
I feel like he was like noticeably underused.

571
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:41,520
Yeah.

572
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:47,000
So much of this movie is like it's a peer for like long stretches of this movie.

573
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,840
You're like, Charles Danes up to.

574
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:55,440
Yeah, I want to understand like this whole plan that he has to.

575
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,480
Like combat.

576
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,320
So because OK, so this is also let's OK.

577
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,360
Because he doesn't come back.

578
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:08,360
This is where the movie has where it falls apart a little bit is there is this

579
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,600
proposition that's happening is that boots on the ground.

580
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,160
People are.

581
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:15,960
People are.

582
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,480
People are welcoming these

583
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:25,560
Kaiju because they are going to level and create a balance.

584
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:31,960
And Charles Danes is like this terrorist in the sense of like

585
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,920
humanity has failed itself.

586
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:43,800
And in order for us to see a revitalization, a resurrection, we need a

587
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,600
major course correction from the destruction.

588
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,360
Of course.

589
00:33:50,360 --> 00:34:00,120
We is a yeah, like he's welcoming the monsters because government people are

590
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,840
not going to wake up and listen and solve the problems that they need to.

591
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,800
So what's going to overpopulation, war, famine.

592
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,520
And other things of that matter.

593
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:15,920
Do you need more slides?

594
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,240
I will show you in my PowerPoint.

595
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:20,400
Oh, let's the PowerPoint.

596
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,720
No, we're not there.

597
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,640
No, well, OK, you're right.

598
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,040
You're we can jump around.

599
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:26,040
No, no, no, no, it's fine.

600
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,400
No, let's let's stick to it because I want to walk through this.

601
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,480
So yeah, I just I think Charles Danes is like noticeably underused in this

602
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:40,560
because he starts the movie off with a like terrorist plot that is

603
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,400
affecting the main characters of this movie.

604
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,480
And then it just takes the biggest and most noticeable like backseat.

605
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,280
And then it just goes into like whatever the monsters are doing,

606
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,480
whatever Millie Bobby Brown is doing, the movement of like Kyle Chandler and the

607
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:01,000
whole team like and then you just completely forget about Charles Danes

608
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,480
and whatever the fuck he's doing for such a long.

609
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,320
Whenever he does show up, he has this air of like,

610
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,080
I know something you don't know.

611
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,720
And even if this doesn't work out exactly how I like plan A is going,

612
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:17,320
I have like plan B and C or D that could totally work out fine.

613
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,360
And that's kind of where we leave him as a character is like we have what we need.

614
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,320
So whatever it's, I'll just move on and maybe I'll come back another time.

615
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,800
But he's constantly like looming,

616
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,640
but not really taking much action.

617
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:38,320
And that leaves a lot on Vera's shoulders to do the back and forth of being bad

618
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,280
and then good and to deliver that monologue that we were, you know, I did just

619
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:48,600
reference rather than Charles Danes to be more of like any of the brains.

620
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,320
He really seems to be the muscle.

621
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,960
But for to have to have him in charge,

622
00:35:53,160 --> 00:36:00,080
the dude just oozes, you know, wisdom and brains and that he does have a plan

623
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:06,480
rather than just being, you know, a glorified bodyguard to what various ideas are.

624
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,880
And she doesn't seem as menacing at the same time.

625
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,640
So it is kind of like a hard balance.

626
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,520
Do you find Emily Bobby Brown a good actress?

627
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:21,840
Because there's a lot of this that I was really compelled by what she was doing.

628
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,200
I thought there's moments where she's like crying and like getting involved in

629
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,440
stuff that I thought was really good.

630
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,640
Yeah. Yeah, she's good.

631
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,960
Right.

632
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,800
Mm hmm.

633
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:38,680
I think it's, you know, to hold up against other people in scenes and.

634
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,360
Yeah, I don't know, like.

635
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,440
Because there's an emotional core to this

636
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:50,680
movie that is about a mother, father, daughter relationship that creates this

637
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:59,240
emotional core about what is happening to people that are choosing sides on this

638
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:04,640
like quote unquote war against like whether or not you're like on Charles

639
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,600
Dance's side or on Kyle Chandler's side.

640
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,480
And I honestly, I think she handles it really well.

641
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:17,200
I think she does a good job and I'm, you know, about nearly Bobby Brown.

642
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,640
Yeah, I think I think she there's a lot of scenes where it is really just

643
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:27,840
what she's doing with her face and the disappointment and love and frustration

644
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:35,080
and despair of like a lot of people watching a lot of people die and knowing

645
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:40,480
your mother, mother is instrumental in that and that gradual realization of that.

646
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,240
And then the disapproval

647
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,400
after is like a good burn.

648
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,840
And then like there's a lot of scenes

649
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,240
where she's

650
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,360
reacting to nothing, I'm sure, just like a green screen ball or some guy in a suit

651
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,680
or something like that. And I think that has to be very difficult to

652
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:07,040
have some sort of emotional connection or reaction to something that is just

653
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:10,280
this twice the size of a skyscraper.

654
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,200
And yeah, that one point where she just screams back at King Godot is pretty great.

655
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,280
I thought that was a cool moment.

656
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:18,440
She's like, sure.

657
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:23,320
But then it's also like, yeah, the three headed dragon is like, all focus on this one.

658
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,160
And I was just like, yeah, me and an ant just like

659
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,760
and just the answer.

660
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,800
But no, I think she's great.

661
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,880
I enjoyed the she's definitely grown so much as as an actress and stranger things

662
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,480
for was was really great and excited to see see them finish that and whatever she

663
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,080
else she does with her her career.

664
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,280
Yeah, I agree.

665
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:53,920
I'm sure skies the limit. I mean, and it was funny when they were trying to find

666
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,040
when they were making this movie and they were doing conceptual stuff and

667
00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:01,120
like CGI representations of what they wanted to do.

668
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,800
The director instructed the artist to use

669
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,680
Millie Bobby Brown as like the example, even though she hadn't been cast or anything,

670
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,280
or they hadn't gone to that process.

671
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:17,160
So there's like this footage of her as like a CGI rendered character.

672
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,520
Really terribly, but just trying to get the point across of what the movie will be.

673
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:24,480
And then they eventually, yeah, approached her about it.

674
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,640
And it was cool watching some of the behind the scenes stuff.

675
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:35,120
And everyone said that she's very well spoken and wise beyond her years.

676
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,360
That's what O'Shea Jackson said.

677
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,160
It was just like O'Shea Jackson. That's a good poll. Yeah.

678
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,360
Yeah, he was saying she's just very well well spoken.

679
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,880
And he kind of blew his mind that she I think she was only like 13 when she made

680
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,280
this movie.

681
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,320
She's talking a lot about pranks on set.

682
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,880
Oh, my God.

683
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,800
Her and the director and and Varro's very, I think,

684
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,920
quote, called her a little rascal.

685
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:01,960
Whoa.

686
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,200
And I'm like goofy and a goofball because she just yeah.

687
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:05,800
Yeah.

688
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,520
And I guess they was having fun on set and doing she prank people and she get pranked

689
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,400
back and stuff. So that's good.

690
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:12,160
I don't know. It's good.

691
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,920
She's she's having fun at that age and having to, you know,

692
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,880
do this good to a lot of words, a lot of work and to still be a kid.

693
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,160
That's that's good.

694
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,840
You know, that's that's that's a lot to that's a lot to do to be on a

695
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,360
it's an insane day and the stranger, all the stranger things stuff and all that

696
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,920
pressure to do that at that age.

697
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:33,920
Yeah.

698
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,920
I mean, all of that is that I think that she's going to be around in a force to be

699
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,240
reckoned with for a long time.

700
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,040
I think so.

701
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:47,320
And I and even though how you feel about this movie because

702
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,800
we had mentioned off, Mike, but I haven't looked at the numbers.

703
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,680
This movie is obviously because we're talking about it.

704
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:03,640
It's not heralded well by critics, but box office wise, I'm not quite sure where it

705
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,400
stands up to the first one.

706
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:11,880
But nonetheless, you know, her as a incredibly young actress,

707
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,520
not being hurt by this performance, even though whatever people might say about

708
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:19,840
this movie, she's not the problem.

709
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,400
But if you have one, that's right.

710
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,840
Like she just stands out as being somebody that is competent and is bringing

711
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,840
exactly what she needs.

712
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:29,840
Yeah, the heart of the movie.

713
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:30,680
Yeah.

714
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:31,240
Yeah.

715
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:36,960
And like they were kind of the conscience almost in the dividing line between

716
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,240
the mother and the father, which that's at some of the rougher stuff is

717
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:47,040
Vera's character, I think is a hard one to grasp the full breadth of who she is

718
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:50,160
as a character and how it's portrayed a little bit.

719
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,280
It's a it's a I like the the road that they tried to go down with her, but it

720
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,560
just wasn't super successful.

721
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,560
And yeah, again, how it was.

722
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,360
It just doesn't make a lot of sense because she she is on board with

723
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,400
Charles dance to a degree.

724
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:07,880
But then that's her idea.

725
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,240
Yeah.

726
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,320
Right. It's her idea.

727
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,120
I'm sorry.

728
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,920
Because she is wanting a better future for

729
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,360
Billy Bobby Brown for MBB and.

730
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,320
But then what happens in the movie where she

731
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:30,960
turns away from Charles dance because he isn't in alignment with what she wants

732
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,800
is so like the King of the King of Dora thing.

733
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,160
Yeah, like of course.

734
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:37,920
Good good good good.

735
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,000
Good. Yeah.

736
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:40,040
Good Dora.

737
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:41,440
Getting jiggy with it.

738
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,000
Dora.

739
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:42,960
Yeah.

740
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:49,920
And yeah, that that stuff is the attempt to like bring her back at the end isn't

741
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:50,800
worth it for me.

742
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,560
I would have preferred her just to go like.

743
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,800
Yeah.

744
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:57,640
Oh my God.

745
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,240
Yeah, I'm bad deal with it, baby.

746
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,760
I'm like she was just as bad as Charles dance or worse.

747
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,480
Yeah, that would be so much fun.

748
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:06,120
Yeah.

749
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,240
It's like a Charlize Theron and fast.

750
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,680
Tan, you're just kind of like that.

751
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,320
A little bit more just like I'm just fucking bad.

752
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,320
Yeah.

753
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,200
Like and I think it would almost be better for the franchise because like I

754
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:24,080
would have a problem that I have with this movie is how dumb her plan is because

755
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,680
like one side of this movie in the Charles dance side, just like how I

756
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:33,800
preface how I think his stuff is really weak and that goes.

757
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:41,760
That applies to with the America stuff is it's so like.

758
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,120
They want this thing and then it

759
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:50,000
quickly changes once what you expect happens.

760
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,680
So you're just like,

761
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,440
see, are you guys all fucking idiots?

762
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,320
Which is a bummer because I love Charles dance a fuckload and I love via

763
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,880
from America or however you say her name a lot.

764
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,760
Yeah, definitely.

765
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,480
They're both incredible actors.

766
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:15,760
It's what their purpose and character is is so like flimsy, flimsy,

767
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,160
not fully fleshed out.

768
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,520
It's like it's on stilts.

769
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:23,800
Yeah, it's very like I think it's the king of all because like they should know

770
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,320
that it's like a false king.

771
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,640
It's an alien that's not from here.

772
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:33,920
If they know so much, they would know if I had a fucking quarter for every time

773
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,640
we're like, it's not a rich man. There's only one true king.

774
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,480
That's that's good.

775
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,520
You're always talking every time we get into these conversations.

776
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:45,640
OK, well, like the life and what's good.

777
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,200
Who is like, it's a false king.

778
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,840
And I'm like, damn.

779
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,120
You know what, I just thought of it like

780
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,960
have you ever thought about this being just a false king situation?

781
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,120
And I'm always like, James, I did it.

782
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,360
God damn it. You're right.

783
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:05,880
But these people know so much about like these monsters, these Titans,

784
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,760
and she's the one that blows up the ice wall to release King Ghidorah.

785
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,320
Like she is the big part of that happening.

786
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,320
And I feel like just that being a surprise in what happens with with that

787
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:24,760
monster in particular is discussed later on rather than like, I don't know,

788
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,680
it just seems like they know so much about all the other monsters leading up to it.

789
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,760
Yeah, but it's not the full JJ Abrams of like them constantly moving.

790
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,960
But there is an element of pace to this that

791
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,360
that just goes and for the most part, I like it.

792
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,880
Like it sets up that first act really, really well.

793
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,720
And it gets you have Mothra there.

794
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,080
You know that you're going to have possibly a host of monsters.

795
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,760
And you don't really know or expect exactly how many.

796
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,200
And they fucking throw monster after Titan after Titan at you.

797
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,200
And I fucking dig that. Yeah.

798
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,280
Do you have a favorite one besides Godzilla?

799
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,480
Oh, you can be Godzilla.

800
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,120
No, well, Godzilla was the I mean, you know,

801
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,000
he's the he's the king.

802
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:10,680
Oh, yeah.

803
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:11,120
King.

804
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:12,240
Yeah.

805
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:16,040
Come on, come on.

806
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:17,360
Come on, come on.

807
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,800
I mean, I just I know, I know, it's it's kind of a basic take.

808
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:27,960
But I do also love Mothra because the way that the sense Mothra so often is

809
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,160
it is this just enormous

810
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,800
bioaluminescent fan that comes out.

811
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:41,400
So just are so like, wow, this is so cool that this monster exists.

812
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,960
And she has some of the best moments in the movie for sure.

813
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,520
That and to have a healer, you got a healer in the crew now.

814
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,440
Everybody needs a healer as a tank, especially.

815
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:58,000
I think it's just fun, like, especially for like teenagers, I think,

816
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:04,440
would really connect with this is that their Mothra and Godzilla are on the same team.

817
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:05,520
So cool.

818
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:08,160
And there's like different teams and stuff.

819
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,240
Love that.

820
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,800
My legions and shit.

821
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,800
And there's like a little age old rivalries between all of them.

822
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,600
Like, oh, that's so cool.

823
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,240
It's so sick.

824
00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:23,520
The way that this movie builds up its kaiju's

825
00:47:23,720 --> 00:47:28,280
lets you know this is what this historical like

826
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:35,760
mythology is about this or this is something that is like just explain what

827
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,320
the powers and where the origin is and then lets it loose.

828
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:39,960
Yeah.

829
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,440
Really fantastic.

830
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:42,840
Because that's what you want.

831
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,640
Like you want to just go like, OK, so this monster can do this.

832
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,800
That monster can do that and now they're going to fight and it just really kind of

833
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,960
sets it up like, you know, bingo, bingo, bongo.

834
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:55,520
Yeah.

835
00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:59,320
And where you're like, cool, OK, I understand what they're going to do.

836
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,720
And then they fight against each other.

837
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,640
And it's in.

838
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,600
The locales too, as you get some.

839
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,360
I mean, you know, obviously this movie wants its cake again.

840
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:10,800
I'm sorry.

841
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:11,800
I feel like broken record.

842
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:17,000
Like once it's cake and eat it to where it is setting up the significance

843
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,680
of these monsters fighting in cities that causes destruction that really

844
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,440
breaks families apart or is like hurting people and all of that stuff.

845
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:25,800
So like it.

846
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,760
But then it grows trees after.

847
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:29,920
Sure.

848
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,920
So.

849
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,360
OK, anyway, I'm on viewers side.

850
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,080
It's perfect.

851
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,160
But yeah, I just released the Kraken.

852
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,600
But but nonetheless, like I just think about there was this video game growing up

853
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:51,160
where it was very similar to this Kaiju thing.

854
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,760
Rampage.

855
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,160
Rampage is one of them.

856
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,960
That's another great example.

857
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,920
But no, I can't remember what it was called, but you get to select these really

858
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,040
large monsters and fight in cities with, you know, against each other.

859
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,720
Was it an arcade game or was it actually for a console?

860
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:07,920
It was for a console.

861
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,320
That's cool.

862
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,720
I'll have to look it up later, but it sounds familiar.

863
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:17,280
OK, but your response is what I'm getting at, I guess, is like it is cool.

864
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:23,400
James, yeah, awesome when big monsters fight each other in like cities and stuff.

865
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,880
You're like, yeah, this is crazy.

866
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,640
Fuck that up, right?

867
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,400
Yeah, you can't fuck that up.

868
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,880
And that's I think what we what we're getting at, or at least what I would like

869
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:38,040
to get at with this movie is that I do think there are parts of the on the boots

870
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,280
on the ground shit that is.

871
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,080
Boring or yeah, is is try hard.

872
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,080
That's the other thing, too, because the.

873
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:49,440
We haven't talked to middle ditches.

874
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,120
The other one middle ditch.

875
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,880
I was going to say, the middle ditch, the middle ditch of a very mid of it all.

876
00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,120
Wearing like yeah, mid yeah, mid bull ditch.

877
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,400
Yeah, I can't hang none of it work.

878
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,280
None of none of his character works for me at all.

879
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:10,920
I understand, though, the ski for his yeah, his character.

880
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:17,720
That's the thing is the is like makes it almost more glaring is that I understand

881
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:26,160
the need for somebody to explain things going on to a military man as Kyle Chandler

882
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:32,680
character or whatever, but he is just so snarky and non serious.

883
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:39,360
And I've I've seen Godzilla versus King Kong and there's a lot of that in the movie, too.

884
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,560
That's where this movie has in my mind.

885
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,600
It's problems. It's like.

886
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,720
Agreed.

887
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,440
You don't need as many jokes as you're giving us.

888
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,160
I love that you have jokes in here.

889
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:53,960
Good.

890
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,600
It would be like you said with the first one.

891
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:02,520
So fucking dour if we were just talking about like here's another mass casualty

892
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:08,280
situation with a kaiju fucking stomping through a city and here's

893
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,360
thousands of people died and we're just like, fuck, you know, have to deal with that.

894
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,400
Like I do want some levity to it.

895
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:19,040
That's why I think actually like Oshie Jackson, like the way he handles.

896
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:23,400
Yeah, like I thought the way that he handles the like military aspect of it

897
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:29,280
had some level of levity to it that was kind of fun where he's like this is

898
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,400
serious because we need to accomplish this mission.

899
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:38,880
But we're kind of like occasionally isn't this crazy that it's a fucking big monster

900
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:44,160
or whatever, and it has that really strikes a really great balance between

901
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,600
having fun and not being too.

902
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,160
Because that's the thing is like I'm not asking for the movie to be more serious.

903
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,240
That's not the problem.

904
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,960
It's like if anything be a little less funny or like not play it straight a bit

905
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,680
more, you know, not so much like, yeah.

906
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,720
Like if anything would just be like,

907
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,720
you know, that whole bit about like it's not funny.

908
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:13,120
Like there's some stuff in here where I'm like, it's just not funny.

909
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:14,120
There is a moment.

910
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,600
Damn, what was the moment between Watanabe and Zhang where

911
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,960
it was like a beautiful moment right before he goes.

912
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,840
Oh, yeah, where he goes away.

913
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,240
I think it was between them two.

914
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,160
And then he says something like really heartfelt.

915
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,040
And she's like, wow, that's beautiful.

916
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,440
And then it could have just end and seen right there.

917
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,240
That's beautiful, beautiful moment.

918
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,600
And he's like, yeah, I read it in a fortune cookie once.

919
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,560
It was a really long fortune cookie.

920
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,080
It's like, oh, come on.

921
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,240
It's like funny.

922
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,640
Going to dump at the end zone.

923
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:51,960
Just like pinching a loaf right when you're about to score a touchdown.

924
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:53,720
You know how that goes.

925
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,280
You know, yeah, I mean, we get into some of the the battles.

926
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:02,880
I mean, I think what one of the coolest, the sound design in all of these movies

927
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:08,840
so fucking cool and it adds such an effects that is even me calling it out.

928
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,960
I'm sure there's other even supplemental stuff that just makes you feel a certain

929
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,080
way just experiencing it and seeing the theaters was really, really cool.

930
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,080
And when I did, I was a solo movie movie experience.

931
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:23,120
It's fun. I was another situation I had to bring my car in and just went to the

932
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:30,320
went to the movies and caught one on my own and the the sounds of him mixed with

933
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:37,560
the light of his spikes of the blue light under water is a great, you know,

934
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:42,000
yeah, Jurassic Park almost like slow down and have the pulse of the water or

935
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,640
something and know that something looming is coming and you're about, you know,

936
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,560
kind of eye of the storm about to get into some some shit.

937
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,760
And and that's what the door of popping out of the ice, of course,

938
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,480
is that's a great set piece as well.

939
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:02,800
And I think the design of of the dragon, the director mentioned, it's very

940
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:10,680
meant to be more of an eastern, obviously, version of of how a dragon is depicted

941
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:15,800
rather than like a Western, you know, kind of maybe a medieval one or something.

942
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,640
It's very very similar to the dragon in

943
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,600
Zelda, Chairs of the Kingdom.

944
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:28,080
There are these whiskers that are very, very similar.

945
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,440
I also got Hydra.

946
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:35,680
When Ghidra travels, it's a thunderstorm wherever it goes.

947
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:36,920
So cool.

948
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:38,120
So cool.

949
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,120
You know, because they talk, you know, obviously,

950
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,720
the, you know, it's kind of common in how silly at very much of times

951
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,040
the.

952
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:52,160
Way information about things is presented because it's on like these screens

953
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:59,480
and these like weird, like underground bases or like a moving like.

954
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,840
Marmar outpost point one seven three.

955
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,200
What do you mean?

956
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:09,280
Underground oil bunker.

957
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,880
Which but I, you know what, as like it and I think of this almost appeals to me

958
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:20,200
like as a gamer and I just experienced this too in Starfield where.

959
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:26,440
You go from the surface to this underground mine.

960
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,480
And there are so many moments that it just yeah, in this movie, again,

961
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,840
appeals to like maybe like a male sensibility or like a gamer sensibility

962
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:39,120
where like all the bases are really cool.

963
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,040
Yeah, you know, they're huge in these caverns.

964
00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:45,320
And you know, there's a lot of people.

965
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,560
Big wall of the other ice with you can see you can see the three headed.

966
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,880
Yeah, it's just such a this really shows off the scale.

967
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,480
You like you're saying.

968
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:55,400
Yeah, absolutely.

969
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,520
The scale in this movie is really well done.

970
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:00,840
You always feel like.

971
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:08,520
The majesty of a huge creature is put on display often because there are time and

972
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:15,360
time again shots of this massive monster in relation to the person on the ground.

973
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,440
That's experienced there like a weakening or whatever.

974
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:24,240
And I'll do that crash scene where it'll be out and then it'll go quick in.

975
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:29,400
And that's just like, yeah, I feel like a quick establishment of scale to a close up.

976
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:30,680
Right. It's an interesting effect.

977
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:36,080
Yeah, a more recent one, even stuff like succession and stuff.

978
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,120
You know.

979
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:43,200
But yeah, the middle ditch not not great.

980
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:49,640
But yeah, the lit up Godzilla and then the the Gidea fight is is fucking dope.

981
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:55,360
Rodin, I just say to Rodin is like the Maltrace to Gidea's

982
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,280
sat face, but yeah, I don't know if there's a snow one.

983
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,640
I don't know if they have the Lord was that a great way to say that.

984
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:08,160
When it was like finals like, oh, it's Maltrace. Cool.

985
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:13,160
It's the devastation upon that village is is fucked up.

986
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:20,000
It just looks like the the the abilities of it is put on display in such a cool way,

987
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,680
even though like I'm not a big like disaster porn movie guy and seeing all

988
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:29,520
the death and destruction and lots of, you know, typically gets me just like not

989
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:34,600
really in the best mood or just like, yeah, yeah, border or whatever.

990
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,840
And and that just quick flyover was just like fuck.

991
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:42,120
It was like Pompeii level just devastation on the ground of just the wing.

992
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,960
Bro Dan comes out of a volcano too.

993
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,880
It's so huge.

994
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,800
Just like take this like Walton Firebird.

995
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,800
And then there's yeah, they're like yeah.

996
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,920
And then then comes in and it's like yeah.

997
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,480
And then you're like, you think you're going to fight guys?

998
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,680
It's like, no, but yeah, like rodeo and like fights.

999
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:06,120
You're and then fucking and then they all fight each other.

1000
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:10,760
It's a flame.

1001
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,680
Come on.

1002
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,920
This movie is tight.

1003
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,400
Guts is kind of the water kaiju, I guess.

1004
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,040
Yeah, man. It's it's like the lightning kaiju too.

1005
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,720
He can do it all. He's the avatar.

1006
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:24,960
Long live the king.

1007
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,720
Long live the king.

1008
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,600
Then.

1009
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,440
So there anything else you want to talk about?

1010
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,960
We can. Yeah, we can barrel barrel on through.

1011
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,680
I'm trying to think if there's a I mean, there's the Mothra sacrifice.

1012
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:40,720
I thought was was heartfelt.

1013
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:45,240
But there is a point in this movie where it gets the final big battle between

1014
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,680
everybody where I just put my notes down and just enjoyed the show and watch.

1015
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,120
And enjoy the battles and everything.

1016
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,800
Godzilla is like a nuclear.

1017
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,200
Like it's he is this nuclear bomb.

1018
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,640
That can watch the lobby has to like revive

1019
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,920
Godzilla because the oxygen missile.

1020
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,200
Like, OK, let's OK.

1021
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,240
We mentioned it maybe off mic before we got on.

1022
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:12,880
But let's talk about this

1023
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,360
oxygen nuke that comes out of nowhere.

1024
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,240
I'm like, what the really quick?

1025
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,480
And they're like, oh, it's already on its way.

1026
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:22,840
I already fired it.

1027
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,120
You pulled the awesome and die as he's like, oh, no, no, we got to get out.

1028
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,560
He's like, too late. You think I'd wait?

1029
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,800
Yeah, like, who the fuck are you people?

1030
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,480
And you're like, right, who is this

1031
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,560
organization in comparison to the broader whole?

1032
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,000
You're like, I don't I don't know why.

1033
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,160
Like, are they talking to the president?

1034
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:46,120
Like there's just oxygen out and they just fucking kill Godzilla.

1035
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,240
And they have to spend the next one.

1036
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:50,760
They put him out of commission.

1037
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,640
They have to spend the next part of the movie bringing him back,

1038
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,640
which I just think is funny, is like part of the movie is just rectifying

1039
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:57,880
a mistake that just happened in the movie.

1040
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,520
It almost.

1041
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:04,080
It almost feels to like when you take your like in a sports movie,

1042
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,600
when you take your your best player gets like injured or whatever.

1043
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,280
And you have to bring him on the bench.

1044
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:14,720
And then it's this whole like like in Rocky, where the guy at the corner is just

1045
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,120
like, come on, rock, you gotta get back up.

1046
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:18,760
You gotta come on.

1047
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:20,360
Yeah.

1048
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,120
I was back.

1049
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,760
But instead he kills.

1050
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,240
I was fucking great.

1051
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:27,760
I love that.

1052
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:29,640
Come on. Come on. Go to your.

1053
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,400
Don't give up now.

1054
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,640
You got to cut me. You got to cut me.

1055
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,160
I was like enthralled.

1056
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:46,120
It was so funny because like there's again, like the stuff with Millie Bobby.

1057
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,120
I know we talked about how good of an actor she is.

1058
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,080
And like, I love again, the if America.

1059
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:57,800
I love Charles dance, but like all of that stuff is kind of a fucking drag.

1060
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,800
And then it's the stuff when it's like Ken Watts, Nabi, when it was Sally

1061
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,640
Hawkins, like we're trying to figure out these monsters.

1062
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,480
We're trying to get them on our side.

1063
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,800
Like all of that stuff really works for me.

1064
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,640
And it's when you get into the.

1065
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:18,360
Like, yeah, the emotional weight of this movie really is dead.

1066
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,040
Yeah, you know, because some of the channel

1067
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:25,800
might be in my seat with the Ken Wan and Nabi stuff like, yeah, it's like, OK,

1068
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,320
we got to revive Godzilla or Gojira.

1069
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,760
That is how he would say, which I love the fact that we this movie gives you both.

1070
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,920
Because there I feel like there was like this online discourse about how like,

1071
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:42,560
well, the Japanese pronunciation of God is this and we give Godzilla and

1072
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,080
Gojira in the same fucking movie.

1073
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,560
I think it's just so fun that they were able to accomplish that in a way

1074
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:50,920
that totally made sense.

1075
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,680
It's like, yeah, Ken Watanabe would say that.

1076
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:55,800
Yeah, I like that stuff.

1077
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,120
The Kyle Chandler stuff was OK.

1078
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:02,320
It was OK at parts of him, you know, just being like seeing red and just like,

1079
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:03,320
I have to get my daughter back.

1080
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,920
Nothing else matters.

1081
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:10,520
But it does fall flat for me and those characters do ring a little hollow when

1082
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:15,560
he's, I don't know, you got to make do with what you can and you got to save

1083
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:16,480
the world and everything.

1084
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,320
But when the Vera kind of just like, I'm here to help now and we're going to

1085
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:24,160
figure this out, I'm just kind of like, get lost.

1086
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,360
Or like Jiang says, that bitch.

1087
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,080
During the ending of the PowerPoint, which I mean, if there's just one part about

1088
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,320
that, too, that is like one of the most clunky is like exposition.

1089
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:40,440
Like turns of a character into evil that I've ever seen.

1090
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:45,960
And I think that's part of the reason why it doesn't follow through as much.

1091
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:52,000
It's it is fun and campy to have a character proclaim like we need a new

1092
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,160
world order of monsters.

1093
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:55,920
Cool.

1094
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,960
But it's just something like she's too good of an actress.

1095
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,040
I know.

1096
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,720
It's like, I need someone else that's just like.

1097
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:07,440
You're playing with sincerity and I had to be way silly.

1098
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:11,360
I believe everything she's saying, but I wanted to be more just like Wallace

1099
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:16,800
Sean and Southland Tales or Liquid Karma Liquid Karma.

1100
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,720
I want Kyle Chandler to be married to Wallace

1101
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,400
Sean and for him to play his wife.

1102
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,480
Inconceivable.

1103
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,520
But I do agree Ken Wan now be in his follow through and in his character, I think,

1104
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,640
was was played well.

1105
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:34,480
And final battle fucking cool with the atom bomb and getting fire powers.

1106
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:39,000
And like the last one, he got powered up in a way to and shot fire down the

1107
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:45,120
the one of the monsters, gullets and shooting it through the gullet out through

1108
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:46,160
the mouth the other way.

1109
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,040
I thought that was a cool effect too.

1110
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:49,560
It's just so badass.

1111
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:54,760
Look like a noodle that that King of Deer or whatever.

1112
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,680
But I'm just looking at any of my other notes here.

1113
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,640
Like a fucking noodle.

1114
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:06,960
As such as life where, you know, you just consume a noodle and blows on the back of you.

1115
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:08,160
Oh, that's not how you do it.

1116
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,160
You know, you don't blow you suck.

1117
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,920
Oh, my bad. I thought I'm doing it wrong.

1118
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:15,480
Let's see. OK, so bear kisses.

1119
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,360
We're both doing her.

1120
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,960
Let's see. Oh, why now they always willing to get advice.

1121
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:22,520
Oh, yeah.

1122
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,560
In the first movie and the second movie, both and especially this one,

1123
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,400
there's a lot like Kyle Channell walks in, he's like, no,

1124
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,080
that's not what we're supposed to do.

1125
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:31,640
This is what we're supposed to do.

1126
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,200
And you guys are all reading it wrong.

1127
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:34,400
Ken Wan, Nabi has that just.

1128
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,600
It's just like, I was what to do.

1129
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,040
You're absolutely right.

1130
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,720
And you should. What should we do next?

1131
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,920
And he just asked Kyle Channell for advice and he follows everything he does.

1132
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,840
And Brian Cranston kind of is that in the first movie where he's like,

1133
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,480
what you're doing?

1134
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,440
No, I'm just kidding.

1135
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,080
No, is that we?

1136
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:57,960
It's like it just follows everything he does, no matter if he believes in it or not.

1137
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,360
No, if anything, I was just like,

1138
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,120
no, I didn't mean I was just more.

1139
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,400
I was more.

1140
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,080
I was I was kind of impressed.

1141
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,360
I was like, wow, this character is

1142
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,560
heeding other characters advice that might know more about the topic.

1143
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:17,760
And he's very quickly able to recognize someone who might know better and bring

1144
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,640
them along because he brought Brian Cranston along and Aaron Taylor Johnson.

1145
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,840
And it was like asking them a lot of questions and they've kind of been these

1146
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,800
like characters in the background that approach people and just like,

1147
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,720
you know, like what's going on?

1148
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,080
Like seeing these monsters and collecting data and all that stuff.

1149
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,680
And I kind of like that background scientist thing where they're just

1150
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,160
collecting all the all the data and just taking it all in.

1151
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,440
But I think in this one more so he was a little bitch in this one.

1152
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:44,720
He was.

1153
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,600
Whatever you say, Kyle Chan, there, whatever you say.

1154
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,840
They said they got a fucking here.

1155
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,680
I thought that was cool for a PG 13 movie.

1156
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,560
Get a fucking there. Why not?

1157
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:55,640
Yeah.

1158
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,920
Oshay's I think says you got to be fucking kidding me.

1159
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:00,080
Oh, yeah.

1160
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:01,280
Um.

1161
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,480
Uh, classic Godzilla roar at a time.

1162
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:05,360
I like that.

1163
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,560
Like when he like gets thrown into the crevasse

1164
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:15,440
Godzilla and man character get knocked out at the same time like last movie.

1165
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,400
That happened last Godzilla gets knocked out.

1166
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,200
Mary Taylor Johnson gets knocked out and they both like go to sleep.

1167
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,600
Be by at the same time.

1168
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,640
There was a movie that M.B.B.

1169
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,240
screams back at Gadira.

1170
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,160
Yeah. So I was like that.

1171
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,240
Yeah, like just stare at the fucking green scene and just be like.

1172
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:34,600
Yeah.

1173
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,760
Reminding me of Brennan Fraser and the mummy.

1174
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,520
I'm just like, well, I can do it too.

1175
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,320
Yeah.

1176
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:43,680
What I don't know.

1177
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,080
What else we got here?

1178
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:46,080
PowerPoint.

1179
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:47,560
Oh, she's almost kind of like Ozzyman.

1180
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,880
Dias to just kind of like, I'm going to bring the world together by bringing in

1181
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,680
this outside force that will unite humanity.

1182
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:56,560
Total awesome.

1183
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,080
Kyle Chandler asks what it's called.

1184
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:05,400
And he's like, oh, it's called Radon and immediately is calls it Turk.

1185
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,120
Big Bird.

1186
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:08,160
He like asks.

1187
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,640
They tell him and he's like, I'm not calling it that.

1188
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:11,520
It's fucking.

1189
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:12,160
Yeah.

1190
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,160
It was a big bird about.

1191
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,360
It's a nerd say someone else calls it like a turkey, though.

1192
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:22,320
I'll just and then I was a coach at Friday Night Lights.

1193
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,240
I don't take no guy.

1194
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:29,080
The guy from Billy Madison calls it like the calls it

1195
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,640
fucking Moe, the three stuges Moe Curley.

1196
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,280
Yeah. Yeah.

1197
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:37,760
And does it gone or reage?

1198
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:39,440
I don't know. It's stuff.

1199
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:40,880
Some of these some of these are rough.

1200
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,600
There's like, yeah, I just wrote.

1201
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,520
He says that bitch is right at a point which really stood out to me.

1202
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:48,560
I'm like, good Lord, dude, come on.

1203
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:49,760
Yeah.

1204
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:51,640
There's some of the Michael.

1205
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,760
He's I've record everything, man.

1206
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:59,520
There's somebody somebody said you're a monster, which I was like,

1207
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,800
double meaning that was.

1208
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,120
Yeah, that was very on the nose, but it was good because Millie Bobby Brown's

1209
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,280
a good good little actress.

1210
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,720
But she said that to her mom.

1211
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,000
I would like when all these monsters are being released and they're looking at

1212
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,720
all the destruction, she looks right in her soul and it's like,

1213
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,600
you're the monster, not all them.

1214
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,400
You you're the monster.

1215
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,960
And I'm talking about Godzilla,

1216
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,680
Mothra, Rodin,

1217
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,000
Gidra.

1218
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,360
What are the other ones?

1219
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,280
Oh, fuck, I wish I wrote all of them.

1220
01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:37,040
There's a couple more, right?

1221
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,400
There's the mammoth guy and the one from the lab.

1222
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,960
There's like another one from the last movie, another another version.

1223
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:45,680
And then like there's like a spider guy.

1224
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,160
What was the hint?

1225
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,960
I mean, they mentioned Skull Island multiple times.

1226
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:56,000
And then, yeah, there's like there's some Skull Island discussion

1227
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,160
because that movie takes place in like the 70s.

1228
01:08:58,160 --> 01:08:59,520
So they've kind of known about that.

1229
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:04,040
And he's been he's just been bulking up getting ready for this battle

1230
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,520
since the 70s.

1231
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:09,520
Just lifted weight.

1232
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:10,840
Oh, yeah, dude.

1233
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:15,080
Just getting big barrels, Donkey Kong style, trying to get that plumber.

1234
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,080
That pesky plumber.

1235
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:22,560
He also mentioned to a huge concept in the Godzilla versus King Kong movie,

1236
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:27,960
which is the like there's a middle or like not Middle Earth.

1237
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:29,440
Oh, yeah. Lord of the Rings.

1238
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,080
Like an under there's like an it.

1239
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,680
On which is there's middle.

1240
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,280
There's over.

1241
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,640
And there's in an insane concept to think about.

1242
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:46,400
He's like, I told you, Jan, I told you there was an under Earth.

1243
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,360
There's in the craziest thing is when you see it in the movie

1244
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:57,280
for King Kong versus Gunsville, there's like a whole Scott like a.

1245
01:09:57,480 --> 01:09:59,800
Oh, yeah, that part's cool.

1246
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:07,480
You know, you're like, so this entire thing exists inside the earth is.

1247
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:10,920
Yeah, but it's cool because it's a place for these guys to just fight.

1248
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:12,120
Do get out.

1249
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:13,880
Let's get. Yeah.

1250
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:15,120
Round one.

1251
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,960
And then in round three inside the earth.

1252
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:19,480
Round one is in San Francisco.

1253
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,320
Round three under Earth.

1254
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,840
Fight under.

1255
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:25,760
Yeah, let's see.

1256
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:27,240
Anything else I got here.

1257
01:10:27,440 --> 01:10:28,240
Let them fight.

1258
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,000
Is it? Oh, yeah, because he says let them fight.

1259
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,000
You know, I don't need to talk about that.

1260
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,000
There's a lot of monsters I see.

1261
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,360
Tiny people. Yeah.

1262
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,720
Has he been working out?

1263
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:42,200
And just starts yelling her name.

1264
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,880
Oh, yeah, he like gets off the plane and it's like a whole monster battle going on.

1265
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,200
He just started screaming her name.

1266
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,040
She's not going to hear you.

1267
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:52,240
There's like a whole monster.

1268
01:10:52,440 --> 01:10:53,720
He's like, wow.

1269
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,120
Wow.

1270
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,600
Oh, she's like,

1271
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:03,160
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

1272
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:08,840
I wrote that the oxygen destroyer has a two mile radius.

1273
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,680
And then I thought to myself, that's not long enough.

1274
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:13,640
That's definitely not long enough.

1275
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:20,360
It shows the size of Godzilla would be at least a couple of miles, like way beyond two, right?

1276
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,520
Like if you were to think about

1277
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:28,680
like some a monster that is as big as the skyscraper and its tail goes past it,

1278
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:33,160
like that's that's easily like four or five miles.

1279
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,560
I don't know.

1280
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:37,560
OK, two mile radius.

1281
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,080
I thought it seemed almost like doesn't seem like enough.

1282
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:41,760
Yeah. Yeah.

1283
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,520
Put two monsters in it.

1284
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:46,840
And then, yeah, just doesn't seem like enough.

1285
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,080
Like, yeah.

1286
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:49,480
Mm hmm.

1287
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:51,240
Yeah, I don't know.

1288
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:55,040
Yeah, for for oxygen for oxygen missiles, I'm not I'm not.

1289
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:56,840
I'm not quite sure we're not.

1290
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:58,120
I do experts on this.

1291
01:11:58,320 --> 01:11:59,880
I know, I'm sorry.

1292
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,760
I'm I'm throwing out some, you know, really specific

1293
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,680
kaiju questions and, you know, what's not what this spot's about.

1294
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,160
I would love to see the scale of, yeah,

1295
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:13,240
multi multi hundred hundred mile dinosaur.

1296
01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:15,800
It's a hundred mile dinosaur.

1297
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:17,960
Because I'm miles.

1298
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:19,800
That's pretty big.

1299
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,840
There's a part at the end of like all the news clippings.

1300
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,600
That's a lot of Easter eggs all coming up like a blog shit during the during the

1301
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,200
credits.

1302
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:34,160
One of the things is that Titan poop is a viable energy source.

1303
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,880
Oh, it's one of the news articles I saw.

1304
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:37,800
I thought that was pretty fun.

1305
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,360
Makes sense with some radiation in that in the doodoo.

1306
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,360
You maybe could could burn it and.

1307
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,560
Like your radiator.

1308
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:53,520
Let's check out what those pesky critics got to say about things.

1309
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:54,400
We do that.

1310
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:55,720
Can we take a break?

1311
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:57,360
Yes, break time.

1312
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,360
We'll be right back.

1313
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,800
OK, we are back.

1314
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,000
Welcome, welcome, welcome back.

1315
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,040
We are going to start talking about some reactions from the critics here.

1316
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:15,320
And on the negative side of things, the 42 percent side of things.

1317
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:20,040
Let's start with Empire with a 20.

1318
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:21,480
Not sure who wrote it.

1319
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,640
Let's see. It's from Empire.

1320
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:30,240
They say globetrotting but not adventurous, action packed, but not remotely exciting,

1321
01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:34,160
utterly overstuffed and completely paper thin.

1322
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,080
Nuke it from orbit.

1323
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,040
Wow.

1324
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,480
Nuke it from this is the support.

1325
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:42,800
Yeah.

1326
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:47,440
Let's move on to the observer and another 20.

1327
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:52,320
The ugly visual effects are outdone only by the sound design, which is relentlessly

1328
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:57,520
loud and thunderingly tedious, the verbal exchanges between the humans are devoid of

1329
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:04,440
wit and barely functional in communicating the story by Simran Hans.

1330
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,520
What else we got here?

1331
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:12,160
Let's try Screen Crush by Matt Singer, a 30.

1332
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,120
Godzilla King of the Monsters is a narrative is as

1333
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:20,320
narratively incomprehensible as it is visually with an even more talented

1334
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:25,520
roster of overqualified actors tasked with the with carrying the film's insipid

1335
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:31,600
story and trying to make their characters bizarre decisions seem halfway plausible.

1336
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,120
Yeah.

1337
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:38,080
From LA Times, Katie Walsh with 40.

1338
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:44,440
Amazingly, somehow an overstuffed Godzilla movie feels scant.

1339
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:45,680
Hmm.

1340
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:46,960
Hmm.

1341
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:52,440
Contradictory sort of language from these critics are like it's it's big, but small.

1342
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:56,000
It's it's wide, but then

1343
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:57,960
you can see why.

1344
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:02,320
From Peter Travers, a 40 on the Rolling Stone.

1345
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,320
The chance to see giant monsters go apeshit.

1346
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:10,280
A few more are added near the end is almost worth the price of admission.

1347
01:15:10,480 --> 01:15:13,240
Seeing, however, is part of the problem.

1348
01:15:13,440 --> 01:15:19,480
Godzilla King of the Monsters is often so lost in the shadows of digital muck

1349
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:24,520
that it makes the squinting chaos of the battle of Winterfell and Game of Thrones

1350
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:26,560
look like a light show.

1351
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:28,280
Wow.

1352
01:15:28,480 --> 01:15:33,400
He's saying topical for the time of 2019.

1353
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,640
Wow, that's why he does what he does.

1354
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:37,120
How about that battle of Winterfell?

1355
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:38,720
Am I right?

1356
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,080
You can see anything.

1357
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,880
Who came out that was like you should get a better TV?

1358
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:46,600
It was one of those situations.

1359
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,920
One of the Benny off for the for the Wices.

1360
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:51,840
You can't remember.

1361
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:56,480
But yeah, it was like, well, because your TV sucks, you're like, are you fucking kidding?

1362
01:15:56,480 --> 01:15:57,840
Like, what are you talking about?

1363
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,120
That's how you're going to.

1364
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:04,440
Maybe it's all of you people versus me.

1365
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,040
We're perfect.

1366
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,240
We'll do another one from the Guardian with a 40.

1367
01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:13,400
Benjamin Lee says it's a film with too much yet somehow so very little.

1368
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:14,080
So I don't know.

1369
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:18,560
Everyone's so so kind of polarized against themselves about like

1370
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:22,480
this movie's a walking contradiction.

1371
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,440
Just like me, Brandon.

1372
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:25,920
I'll stop.

1373
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:28,400
You dirty dog.

1374
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:35,440
Let's do some audience reviews of five star from Amazon, from Sam's review.

1375
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:37,480
Let's check it out.

1376
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:38,200
Bear with me.

1377
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,840
It's a little little much, but it's fun.

1378
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,280
My complaints and concerns are mainly directed at producers.

1379
01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:48,920
Stop hiding the monster fights in smoke, darkness, clouds, foggy haze or behind

1380
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:50,600
the military, Osprey's.

1381
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,600
This was the primary complaint in the last Godzilla movie.

1382
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,400
You'd think the producers would have learned that lesson by now.

1383
01:16:56,400 --> 01:17:00,000
This is why this movie did not make a lot of money at the American box offices,

1384
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,360
because fans are a little raw about that.

1385
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:03,080
Try that.

1386
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:06,520
Try that again in King Kong and see what happens to your bottom line.

1387
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,880
I see they fixed they fixed Godzilla's feet once again.

1388
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,000
At least they got that part right.

1389
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,400
Mothra died a little too soon, guys.

1390
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:15,920
Really?

1391
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,680
I'm old school, grew up with Godzilla all throughout the 80s.

1392
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:24,200
So why in the hell is there a giant wooly mammoth in this movie?

1393
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:29,120
Because there are no wooly mammoth in the Godzilla family of monsters when I was

1394
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:30,360
growing up.

1395
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,000
Stop screwing up these movies, guys.

1396
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,920
If the producers were smart, they would have included three of the giant

1397
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,160
praying mantis from Son of Godzilla.

1398
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:41,720
Remember those guys?

1399
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:43,400
Now that would have been epic.

1400
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:48,280
Instead of a frickin wooly mammoth that has nothing to do with anything.

1401
01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:52,560
There was too much unnecessary human dialogue.

1402
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:54,360
Focus on the monsters.

1403
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:59,040
I got really tired of the little know it all teenage girl drama.

1404
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,120
This is not days of our lives.

1405
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:07,360
Miss me with that next time, guys, and stay focused on the monsters back stories.

1406
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:12,600
So all writers and producers don't even screw up Godzilla versus King Kong.

1407
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,880
Take notes from all the critical reviews and make the necessary corrections.

1408
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,320
Otherwise, you guys killed it.

1409
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,080
Congratulations on an amazing movie.

1410
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,080
But fix all the problems.

1411
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,080
Listen to the fans.

1412
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:28,520
The facts. Wow.

1413
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:30,680
Then there's a list of facts.

1414
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,920
One, running time approximately two hours, 50 minutes.

1415
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:39,400
Two, sound DTS 5.1 and at most three picture widescreen.

1416
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:43,040
Four, filled with action, suspense and drama.

1417
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,480
Almost almost epic.

1418
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,760
Oh, number five wanted it to be.

1419
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,480
Yeah, but damn.

1420
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:53,000
OK, number five explains backstory very well.

1421
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:53,960
Oh, good.

1422
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:58,760
Number six, producers try to hide monster fights again.

1423
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,920
Seven, not enough focus on monsters.

1424
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:06,720
Do you know too much unnecessary human dialogue?

1425
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:08,760
Nine, movie was intense.

1426
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:10,880
Want the backstory or did you know I want it?

1427
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,640
I don't just the monsters because of fuck about people.

1428
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,200
Number nine, movie was intense and good, but dropped the ball in some areas.

1429
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:22,560
Number 10, recommended purchase on Blu-ray must have classic.

1430
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:24,880
Thank you. Hope this helps.

1431
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,200
Oh, I mean, five stars.

1432
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,840
Five stars. Wow, cool.

1433
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:33,640
I'm going to do like one or two more.

1434
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:37,520
I know that one was a lot, but there's some Godzilla nerds are fun.

1435
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,480
Yeah.

1436
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,960
They're a good time.

1437
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:47,320
From Audrey, Audrey, five stars titled Great Monster Action and Special Effects.

1438
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:48,520
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

1439
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:50,560
Good fun and well done special effects.

1440
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,560
I don't watch Godzilla movies for the acting or the great writing.

1441
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:57,080
I watch Godzilla movies because I like Godzilla and all the campiness of the

1442
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:01,040
franchise. This movie delivers Godzilla and the other monsters beautifully.

1443
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:05,200
And I thought really well, I especially enjoy the majestic and earth goddess-like

1444
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,720
portrayal of Mothera didn't see that coming.

1445
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:10,320
And it was a nice surprise.

1446
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,120
Road and made an appearance too.

1447
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,000
And I enjoyed in those scenes as well.

1448
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,320
All in all, this reminded me of the style of Starship Troopers,

1449
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:22,360
which I also really enjoyed because of the corn and great bug monsters.

1450
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,160
Good fun, not serious.

1451
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,680
Godzilla at his slash her best.

1452
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,800
Taking out the alien trash.

1453
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:33,240
It is definitely worth the rental and perhaps even the few extra bucks.

1454
01:20:33,440 --> 01:20:36,840
Bucks, buts, bucks.

1455
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:38,640
Got my mind on a buts brand and sorry.

1456
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:42,640
Few extra bucks to put a permanent DVD copy in the video library.

1457
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:46,760
For all you people, people having a stroke about the anti-Christian theme.

1458
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:51,560
Seriously, the understory is about taking care of the earth and has nothing to do

1459
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:57,160
with organized religion. Maybe you can buy a clue at Amazon.com.

1460
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,520
With Amazon Prime, get a clue.

1461
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:08,480
That was like an atom bomb from Godzilla in the movie.

1462
01:21:08,480 --> 01:21:11,640
Just like, oh, man, he's going to blow and then just put a zinger.

1463
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,560
All right, I'm going to do one more because this one's kind of a trip.

1464
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,960
And there's probably more out there.

1465
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:21,840
I anytime you're bored, it's it's not it's not bad to to check in on some

1466
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,720
reviews of things because people sometimes will just really let it out.

1467
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,720
This person, Fennex, twelve hundred five stars.

1468
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:33,240
Godzilla wipes out Monster Zero and the Liberals.

1469
01:21:33,440 --> 01:21:37,320
Oh, OK.

1470
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,160
If you are a true Godzilla fan and I have been a fan since the 1970s,

1471
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:45,560
you will enjoy this movie with such stars in the Godzilla universe as Mothra,

1472
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:51,960
Monster Zero, Rodan, Titanus, Bohemoth, Muto three and others as they battle

1473
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:56,200
Monster Zero, King Ghidorah with alien origins for supremacy of the planet.

1474
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,600
The plot is apropos for today's political climate.

1475
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:05,120
The world is being destroyed by nasty conservative humans and a liberal scientist

1476
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,480
hatches a plot to hatches a plot to destroy most of the world's population

1477
01:22:09,480 --> 01:22:13,680
by unleashing the Godzilla universe monsters, which are placed in secure

1478
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:17,760
bunkers around the world, hidden from the population by a secret organization

1479
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:22,880
called Monarchs, so the Liberals can reappear from under their hiding places

1480
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:24,600
and repopulate the world.

1481
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,160
I thought Ted Kaczynski was going to make an appearance.

1482
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:34,760
Well, of course, this line of thinking is insane, just like the liberal mind.

1483
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:39,080
And it takes a group of hardworking scientists, military experts and good

1484
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:43,480
old fashioned ingenuity to quell the disaster that has already killed millions

1485
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:49,160
of people and destroyed trillions in infrastructure and pits Godzilla against

1486
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,840
Ghidorah for supremacy of the planet.

1487
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,200
I won't spoil the ending, but the best line of the movie is when Dr.

1488
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,400
Chen calls Dr. Russell that bitch as Dr.

1489
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,720
Russell was detailing why she wanted the world destroyed by calling humans nasty

1490
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:07,600
parasites with a monster universe represent representing the only means to remove

1491
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:11,040
humans, the Earth's immune system ejecting humans.

1492
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:12,560
She gets it in the end.

1493
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,600
After the near disaster of wiping out the entire planet.

1494
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,760
Of course, just like modern movies, there are tons of CGI and military hardware

1495
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,680
in entire cities being destroyed by these monsters.

1496
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,480
It won't disappoint those who love CGI.

1497
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,720
The tone is one of immediacy.

1498
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,520
And let's try one last thing to kill these monsters.

1499
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,960
And we finally see humans get it together and help Godzilla kill Ghidorah.

1500
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:43,480
Now the world must clean up after the meltdown of one liberal scientist.

1501
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,160
Wow. Wow. Wow.

1502
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,720
We watched this movie wrong, Brandon.

1503
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,320
I had no idea.

1504
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:53,400
I get it now.

1505
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,280
Cultural ramifications of this film.

1506
01:23:56,480 --> 01:23:57,360
I get it.

1507
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:03,720
This is it was just laid out that there is.

1508
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,600
We're talking this movie is not just a movie.

1509
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:10,880
It is a battleground.

1510
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:15,920
That is not just filled with kind Jews, but it's filled with liberals.

1511
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,240
Jitter, Jitter.

1512
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:22,240
And they're ruining for all the rest of us.

1513
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:24,200
I had zero idea.

1514
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:29,520
I was watching a true patriot Godzilla.

1515
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:37,960
Thank God for the military and the ingenuity of of of love in American values.

1516
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,840
Yes, exactly.

1517
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:44,520
God. Wow. I don't know, man.

1518
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:45,880
Makes me proud.

1519
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,960
I mean, Long Live the King.

1520
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:50,840
Long Live the King.

1521
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,040
What does it say?

1522
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:58,480
I'm ready to give our final thoughts and move on.

1523
01:24:58,480 --> 01:25:00,280
What do you think? And you want to go?

1524
01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:01,160
No, you go first.

1525
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:03,160
Andre.

1526
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:04,560
Mwah.

1527
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:09,280
I will say that this movie, like I was I mentioned at the beginning,

1528
01:25:09,480 --> 01:25:11,960
a successful franchise that is kind of like

1529
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:18,960
unassumedly for me done really well at being consistent and having complete

1530
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:26,280
stories told within each of the feature films that borrow and take from the others.

1531
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,640
Kind of in a way like Marvel does as far as like, oh, this superhero showed up.

1532
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,080
Oh, King Kong is going to show up in this one.

1533
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:33,840
And they've been working towards it.

1534
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,760
Maybe like a Captain America versus Iron Man or something.

1535
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:39,120
Civil War, whatever.

1536
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:40,680
I don't know why I'm making this comparison.

1537
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:47,200
It's just interesting to see a franchise, any universe start at the time that it did

1538
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:53,680
and take notes clearly, I feel like from from that and do it in a way that

1539
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:58,640
is taking a lot of big things and stuff that has been around a while.

1540
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,760
Like Godzilla has been around for so long and there's so many so many fans that

1541
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:03,520
wanted to be done a certain way.

1542
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:08,480
And I'm I'm impressed with the franchise to do

1543
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:13,720
a job well, like well enough where the first one is different enough from this one.

1544
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:15,760
But they're all good for different reasons.

1545
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:21,240
And Godzilla vs. Kong is just like, yeah, I mean, it's going to be cool.

1546
01:26:21,440 --> 01:26:23,240
They're fucking battling each other.

1547
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:28,760
Like and I think this one does course correct from the first one in my mind.

1548
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,840
And it does try to instill humor and it and more action and you get to see the

1549
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,000
monsters more and there are more monsters.

1550
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:41,720
And it doesn't mean I like the first one less.

1551
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:43,520
I like both of them for different reasons,

1552
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:48,960
but I'm really happy that this one exists and it was fun watching it for a second

1553
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:56,240
time and just kind of being blown away that there are so many battles and there

1554
01:26:56,440 --> 01:26:59,640
and they mix up not just Godzilla vs.

1555
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:05,560
Sun, but you get the Rodan versus King Ghadira and all that stuff.

1556
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:09,520
And they've done and they're done in interesting locales.

1557
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,240
But you kind of have to be OK with it.

1558
01:27:11,440 --> 01:27:13,560
Yeah, being a big spectacle.

1559
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:20,440
The characters themselves are clunkily clunkily written

1560
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:25,800
concerning like the villain and the whole plan and why certain things need to

1561
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:33,360
happen as far as like her her decision making and her follow through at the end

1562
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:37,720
of her character for Vera, for Miga.

1563
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:43,000
But luckily, that really is just holding up the ability to have these these

1564
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:48,040
battles and kind of have the humans be there to see it.

1565
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:49,960
And look at it.

1566
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,120
Yeah, it's just it's it's bad ass.

1567
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:53,040
It's a bad ass movie.

1568
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:54,760
The effects are all there in the screen.

1569
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,240
The monies are all there on the screen.

1570
01:27:57,440 --> 01:28:00,200
I can understand why it's not for everybody.

1571
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:06,680
I can understand why this is polarizing and it is less of a movie like other ones

1572
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,720
we've done where it's like, what is their problem?

1573
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:09,600
Like, why don't they get it?

1574
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:11,320
It's like, yeah, I don't know.

1575
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:12,560
Maybe it's not everyone's thing.

1576
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,720
Like a big monster movie where it's they're kind of saying some stupid stuff

1577
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:20,200
and there's big loud action scenes and it's almost two and a half hours long.

1578
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:22,960
It's it's a it's a big thing to take in.

1579
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,680
And it's maybe not everyone's cup of tea.

1580
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:29,840
But if you're looking for spectacle and a globetrotting monster movie,

1581
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:35,680
I think it I think it fills the bill for for a lot of reasons.

1582
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,840
That you would want in a fucking Godzilla King of the monsters movie.

1583
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:42,320
I was having a hard time deciding which one I like better.

1584
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,360
Like between the first and the second you just watch and recently really such

1585
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:49,000
a glowing review, I just I'm so curious about your me too.

1586
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:50,400
I've been having a hard time.

1587
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,360
God, I just I like love that.

1588
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:53,720
Yeah, I just OK.

1589
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:54,720
It's not going to be.

1590
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:55,880
Yeah, it's not going to be perfect.

1591
01:28:55,880 --> 01:29:00,120
And it's it's not going to be above and beyond because, yeah, the characters

1592
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:03,360
and it is it is a little.

1593
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:10,240
Big and I like the characterization and the first one a lot better for different reasons.

1594
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,840
It is, yeah, the alien alien thing almost is a good comparison of like

1595
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,160
they are good for different reasons.

1596
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:23,960
For me, I'm thinking a strong 70 like a like a high 70 sounds good for me.

1597
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,280
Do like a seventy seven.

1598
01:29:29,480 --> 01:29:32,120
Fuck yeah, seventy seven feels good.

1599
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:38,160
It's like I would and I would watch it again even to it's it's

1600
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,840
like it's fun and I would recommend it overall.

1601
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:43,040
I agree.

1602
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:44,840
So.

1603
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:47,680
This movie falls in

1604
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:52,960
wonderful company in my mind of a couple films like.

1605
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:54,840
The Two Towers.

1606
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:55,640
Wow.

1607
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,040
Well, dead to wow.

1608
01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:00,600
Biderman to wow.

1609
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,960
Just in the pantheon of.

1610
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:05,920
Rush Hour to wow.

1611
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:13,000
And beyond of the second movie being the one that really just.

1612
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:14,320
Knocks it out of the park.

1613
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:17,720
It gets it gets its job done.

1614
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,280
It it it it just comes to play.

1615
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:25,080
It's like, OK, so we got some of the housekeeping out of the way.

1616
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,440
Now we can just get to.

1617
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,920
Yeah, so just like what we talked about with Rush Hour to is like.

1618
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:38,720
Rush Hour one's amazing, but it is so fun to be at a point in their relationship

1619
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:42,840
in Rush Hour to where we know that we the introductions are done.

1620
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:46,320
Let's just get to what everybody is here for.

1621
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:48,520
And this movie does that.

1622
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:50,280
Yeah.

1623
01:30:50,480 --> 01:30:55,960
The story of Charles Dan's via from America kind of is poopy.

1624
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,720
And I understand why the critics by and large

1625
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:05,840
don't like this movie because the emotional core or the humanity

1626
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:12,480
that ties you as a human to the to the movie.

1627
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,640
Mid big time mid.

1628
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:18,360
Middle ditch.

1629
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:20,680
But all the yeah, there you go.

1630
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:21,240
Thank you.

1631
01:31:21,440 --> 01:31:23,280
Sort of middle ditch.

1632
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:26,200
Get it.

1633
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:32,000
But ultimately, this is a bunch of really fucking cool monsters battling each other.

1634
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,280
And that is super cool.

1635
01:31:34,480 --> 01:31:35,040
Yes, super.

1636
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:36,600
So super cool.

1637
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:40,320
Yeah. And like, you know what?

1638
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:42,240
Pretty much fucking rips.

1639
01:31:42,440 --> 01:31:43,520
What I want to say.

1640
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:45,360
Yeah. So.

1641
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:47,320
Fuck yeah.

1642
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:49,320
Yeah.

1643
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:50,520
I'm going to give this movie.

1644
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:54,160
So originally when I was going into this, I was going to give it a 75.

1645
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:58,880
But I would much rather because of the way that you described this movie to is

1646
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,040
that I think we feel the same way about it.

1647
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,640
And I think that we should have the same score.

1648
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:06,040
Four sevens add two more to him.

1649
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:06,880
Hell yeah.

1650
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:08,920
We were like at the lottery.

1651
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:14,080
Or like the slats would be set and another and another seven to the to the three.

1652
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:14,800
I love it.

1653
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,200
This is a it's hard to be mad at this movie.

1654
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:20,320
It's it's so fun and it doesn't.

1655
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:21,760
It just goes, man.

1656
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:25,840
It just it's it's thoroughly entertaining for a two and a half hour thing.

1657
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:31,640
Like and it's the way I think that first 20 minutes is such a great job, too.

1658
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,080
Of laying whatever groundwork that you

1659
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:36,680
not sure if you're the first one.

1660
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:38,840
Yeah, they're all fucking let's go.

1661
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:40,040
Let's go.

1662
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:42,600
Let's yeah, buddy.

1663
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,040
The 17 that was such an interesting number to me.

1664
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:49,320
I want to see whatever if there's a list of all the 17 titans or if that is like

1665
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:53,720
meaningful and like the past Godzilla movies, like he actually has like 17

1666
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:54,320
different monsters.

1667
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:56,680
I mean, you know what though?

1668
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:00,200
So I was thinking about this on our break is like

1669
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:05,680
all of those monsters, however many they may be, if they

1670
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:11,080
relatively stick into the pocket of this and Godzilla versus King Kong,

1671
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:17,440
make 17 movies like let's let's yeah, I was going to say they are making 17.

1672
01:33:17,440 --> 01:33:19,280
Like you like bundle them a little bit.

1673
01:33:19,480 --> 01:33:20,200
You know what I mean?

1674
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,920
They are making a television series.

1675
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,320
I think you I almost forgot to mention

1676
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,880
is called Monarch Legacy of Monsters,

1677
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:34,520
an upcoming American television series created by Chris Black and developed by

1678
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:36,520
for Apple TV Plus.

1679
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:37,720
What is the premise?

1680
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:42,480
I'm curious because I think the trailer just recently dropped after the battle

1681
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:46,040
set after the battle between Godzilla and the Titans revealing that monsters are

1682
01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:50,080
real or follows one family's journey to uncover its buried secrets and legacy

1683
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:51,160
linking them to Monarch.

1684
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,800
So it is after

1685
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,840
Kong and King of Monsters.

1686
01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:01,680
It's got both of the Russell's Wyatt and Kurt.

1687
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:02,960
Isn't that cool?

1688
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:07,920
Well, Kurt and Wyatt together.

1689
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:11,480
Oh, it's fucking cool.

1690
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:12,520
It's OK.

1691
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:14,440
I mean, the premise of the show is out.

1692
01:34:14,440 --> 01:34:19,520
Poopy, I do not care for that premise, but comes out in November.

1693
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:20,400
We shall see.

1694
01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:22,200
It's I mean, they're pushing the world.

1695
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:25,240
They're they're taking it to TV land.

1696
01:34:25,440 --> 01:34:30,760
So I mean, to the point that you're making is that I think this establishes a

1697
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:36,760
formula that is like it's a formula that I'm on board with.

1698
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,080
And that's why I would give it a positive

1699
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:44,960
score that I did give it is because what the structure of this movie?

1700
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:48,760
Yes, certain things could change about it or get better, but the structure of it

1701
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:50,560
is good and solid.

1702
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:52,160
I'm probably going to check out the show too.

1703
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:55,760
Yeah, I've enjoyed enough that like I'll give it a shot.

1704
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,480
See what's up.

1705
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:03,680
Until next time, we will be doing another

1706
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:06,440
film that will not be a sequel.

1707
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:08,440
We've wrapped that up.

1708
01:35:08,440 --> 01:35:10,080
Throwing away the close to book.

1709
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:13,240
We close the book, which is just a sequel book.

1710
01:35:13,440 --> 01:35:17,400
I don't want summer to end, but it has to.

1711
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:18,200
And you know what?

1712
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:22,360
I think this is going to be a good this is going to be a transition.

1713
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:23,880
Maybe we can do like summer three

1714
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,680
equals next next summer or something like that can be fun.

1715
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:27,720
Yeah.

1716
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:31,480
This is more to the next summer.

1717
01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:33,880
Oh, you always do.

1718
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:35,960
Summer summer brandini.

1719
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:37,600
I'm a brandini.

1720
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:44,040
The next movie feels kind of kind of autumn fall.

1721
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:45,880
You a little bit.

1722
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:51,520
We will be doing where the crawdad sing from 2022.

1723
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:57,280
It is very polarizing, extremely polarizing, fits perfectly for our podcast.

1724
01:35:57,480 --> 01:35:58,320
It's great.

1725
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:01,440
It's unfortunate people disagree, but it works for us.

1726
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:05,080
We just feast off the vitriol.

1727
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,800
Critics gave it 35 percent.

1728
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:11,240
Audience gave it a 96.

1729
01:36:11,440 --> 01:36:14,400
Spicy 90s.

1730
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:17,600
We hope to see you hear you.

1731
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,680
We hope you hear us next time.

1732
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:22,920
I could read the premise.

1733
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:25,480
No, you guys have probably heard of it.

1734
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:26,480
We're the crowd.

1735
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:27,280
We're the crowd.

1736
01:36:27,480 --> 01:36:29,400
I'd sing if not, you know, check it out.

1737
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:31,120
We're going to be talking about it.

1738
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:32,400
We love you all.

1739
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:37,760

1741
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:45,200
Have I miss anything else?

1742
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,600
Brandina, I have to tell you it's been a true pledge.

1743
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:52,720
Sharing this monster battle discussion with you.

1744
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:56,040
And I'm glad there was a moment where we just evolved into

1745
01:36:56,040 --> 01:37:05,720
a shield activated bomb.

1746
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:07,920
He's gaining too much energy.

1747
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:11,400
It's going to explode.

1748
01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:12,800
I want him to explode.

1749
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:14,640
Yeah, explode.

1750
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:18,200
God, but it's like a nuclear bomb going on.

1751
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:21,240
But anyway, you evacuated the city.

1752
01:37:21,440 --> 01:37:23,680
It's OK.

1753
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:27,600
Even though the city will never be able to be in the habitable for decades.

1754
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:29,000
No, the trees will grow back.

1755
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:30,680
It'll be great.

1756
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:32,040
Mothra rules.

1757
01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:33,760
Mothra rules.

1758
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:37,440
I've had a good time on this app as well, because this movie is fun.

1759
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,000
This podcast is fun.

1760
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:39,960
I had a good time.

1761
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:42,840
Yeah, every time, every time.

1762
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,120
And we'll see you.

1763
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:47,160
Next time we love you.

1764
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:48,520
We love you.

1765
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:49,720
Bye.

1766
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:50,720
Bye.

1767
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:52,480
Bye.

1768
01:37:52,480 --> 01:37:54,800
We love you.

1769
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:58,640
I think I love you.

1770
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:17,920
Says that Godzilla is 550 feet.

1771
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:19,960
Orange.

1772
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:25,240
The feet are like 5,200 or something.

1773
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:35,440
Oh, it's 5,000.

1774
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:38,400
Yeah, 5,200.

1775
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,680
I was like, that's a big like a multi-mode.

1776
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:43,640
OK.

1777
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,000
God, I.

1778
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:47,560
I don't know.

1779
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:49,880
I just.
