Episode Transcript

(00:31):
Hello, and welcome to the WarpShow. I'm Frank Durham, I'm Deshaun
Basquez, and today we're talking allthings Godzilla. Guys, we're talking Godzilla
minus one. Now. Normally,as a podcast, we talk about all
things art or anything that moves you, anything that can fit on your shelf,
whether it be physical or proverbial ormetaphorical. But today it's just all

(00:55):
about Godzilla. Baby. Today's allabout Godzilla Baby. The normally intro we
go right to what belongs on yourshelf? Everything Godzilla? What am I?
What am I? Am? Iworking for Toho? No, I
don't work for Toho. I justlove this little lizard. This is my
friend. Godzilla is a friend toall and Godzilla He's a very important thing

(01:21):
in my life. So I'm veryexcited to talk Godzilla, especially with one
of my best friends in Godzilla.Deshaun. Here. The man gifted me
a couple of years ago this beautifulbitch the Godzilla Show ho Era films from
Criteria. Oh my god, isthat fifteen Godzilla movies and in beautiful,

(01:44):
beautiful Blu ray Yet and he alsohas gifted me this beautiful two thousand and
four Godzilla that I haven't even crackedopen yet because I don't I want to
give it glory. Yeah, Iwant to say monster arts for Final Wars
Zilla specifically, it's back there.It's back there. Swear the camera's bad
at the moment, but it's thatbox there all the time. If we're

(02:07):
wondering what that is. I'm tryingto build up to having like a whole
city diorama that I could do thatthat Godzilla can wreck and I can give
glory to it. But really,seriously, though me and de Sean love
Godzilla. We've seen a lot ofGodzilla movies together. This one we might
need to go see it again toSean, so we might need to go

(02:29):
live. I might have to happento go see it together. But we
saw it separately, but we sawit in two kind of unique experiences because
I saw it in Imax and yousaw it at Alamo Draft House. Yeah,
they finally new up in the AlimoDraft House in Boston, which is
something I've been waiting for for agood while now because I very rarely go

(02:53):
to the AMC near me because peopleget rowdy there. It's super annoyund.
We get roundy, like that's theThat's the place I go to where I
will expect the most amount of likepeople just being obnoxious, So I just
don't go. And so I usuallyjust go to the Coolidge or the Somerville

(03:15):
Theater, but both of those arekind of out of the way, like
I have to make a trip outof going there. So Alamo Draft House
finally opening up in the seaport that'smuch closer to me. That's kind of
a comparable trip to going to theAMC near me. So and I had
always heard about how cool the AlamoDraft House is with all its other locations
like everywhere. I'm like, Iwant one. Why don't we get that?

(03:38):
I want that? When it startsspreading, I was like, you
should. You guys should come toBoston. You have no reason to,
but like you you should, Yeah, especially given that from what I can
gather, like other big chains havetried to sort of like ape that formula,
like they were one of the bigproponents of like oh food service and
like et cetera having a ball,et cetera, and then all the chains

(04:00):
try to copy that. But you'reso yeah, but you AMCC suck.
Yeah, It's true. I meanI grew up with a New Hampshire classic.
I grew up with Chunky's, whichyou know, was basically kind of
where I had my kids' birthday parties. Saw Star Wars episode two there.
I saw Dinosaur there. I recentlysaw many horror movies there because it's still

(04:25):
open and running great, because theydo cheap tickets. It's a lot of
food, it's a lot of actuallygood food and drinks. And but they
do they don't take it as seriouslyas Alimo Draft House, where they kind
of like just kind of come upto you and interrupt the movie and they're
just kind of just like, yeah, hey, well what can I get

(04:46):
you. The way it works atthe Alamo Draft Houses, you go in,
you you present your ticket at thebox office, You sit down in
your nice reclining chair where you knowa lot of theaters have. Now you
have your you have your little tableto eat. Underneath it is a slot
for both a menu and a notepad, and there's a pen on top.

(05:06):
So you grab your menu, youput it under the table like because there's
like a subtle little table light there. Read what you want, write down
what you want, stick it ina slot that keeps it up right and
hit the button. Sounds nice tobe. They come in, they take
your card to like open a tab, and it's as simple as that.
You wait for your food. Theysaid they'll they'll like come in maybe one

(05:30):
or two more times, usually witha sign that says like last calls just
in case you need anything. Butotherwise they know, like if you want
something that you can just write itdown and hit the button. It's also
the way you tattle on people ifthey're being annoying, because they have a
very strict like no nonsense. Onceit's supposed to be quiet, it's supposed
to be quiet. Okay. Ilike that though, because that's the thing
about chunkies. It's more of aparty atmosphere is it's definitely more loud.

(05:55):
I say, i'd love it.I still love it. There's a lot
of great movies. I feel likea movies perfect to go see there or
you know, like because it's likea fine audience experience, you know,
but like yeah, you know youdon't want to see, you know,
a nice reflective movie. But itwas also just the attention to detail that
I super enjoyed. I know,for movies that are gonna be playing more

(06:20):
consistently like more than just like alimited run like Godzilla. They'll sometimes do
like a themed type of like mealor snack or drink for the movie.
And whenever you show up at themovies early before the trailers even start,
you always have like ads or somethingplaying. For Godzilla minus one, they
had this whole like video retrospective oflike here's a here's like a quick breakdown

(06:44):
on all the Godzilla eras through likeall the different tones. That's wild,
Like this is how we started aslike this darker, more like reflective movie
with the original Goji era, andthen you know, it made money,
so then it became more and morelighthearted. Then you got to the Millennium
series, which was mostly just aboutthe fights. Yeah right, And they
even had like this funny videos likeParenting with Godzilla sort of reminded me of

(07:09):
Cooking with Scorpion from Mortal Kombat,where it was just a clip show of
Godzilla being mean to Minya. Thenyou're like, oh no, but he
And even for people like all right, guys, time to be quiet section
the obligatory thing. They did thiscute little stop motion video where it's like

(07:30):
this Godzilla playing with a Godzilla andRodan toy and there's a tiny little Godzilla
crossroom on the couch, just likeon his phone and like making noise,
and the Godzilla who's playing with thetoys just getting progressively and progressively angry until
he attacks them. And it wasjust like silence your phone, no talking,

(07:51):
no texting, or you will beatomic breath. That's that's cute.
I like that though. I likethat like nice men to detail and love
of film, you know, likethat is really apparent. Obviously, it's
just like, oh, someone cared, someone gave us shit, and that's
that's really cool. I saw itin Imax and hooks it, which was

(08:13):
a very good Imax screen. It'snot you know, like a Jordan's furniture,
but it is big enough and definitelyloud enough. I Imax for this
is a must. I don't oftensay that, but I feel like you
want to feel god Zilla shake you, and that's exactly why seeing this in

(08:35):
Imax is worth it. And toreally feel the soundtrack shake your insides,
because I will say that this isand we I mean we haven't even like
really gotten into the movie yet.I'm so excited about this movie. I
was so excited about this movie beforehand, because this was a direct who loved

(09:01):
Godzilla and had worked Godzilla into anotherone of his movies. Uh, you
know kind of like you know,a kind of got permission from Toho to
have like a dream sequence in oneof his movies where Godzilla shows up,
and it really, you know,I think started that relationship. And you

(09:22):
know, he was already you know, a very done a ton of movies.
This is Deshaun. Please help meif I'm gonna mispronounce this, but
Takashi Yamazaki, and thank you.I've been trying to work on my Japanese
names because I've been terrible at them. But you know, big in Japan

(09:43):
for you know, for doing youknow, like stand by Me, Dorman
and like The Fighter Pilot always alwaysSunset on Third Street movies that are very
Japanese and you know, like Idon't think a lot of people would have
seen other than maybe Looping the Threethree the First, you know, or

(10:05):
Dragon Question or something the same,like international appeal that like Anno did for
shin Godzilla, because you're just like, oh ah no, the evangelian guy,
right, but you know this isn'tthis isn't no slash, you know,
like, this is no, thisis and I think he already had
a love for Godzilla going in,already worked it into another movie. And

(10:31):
I feel this movie radiates with alot of love for Godzilla and is but
also is not afraid to be like, let's keep building what Godzilla is and
keep moving forward and you know,like and and I feel like they were

(10:52):
doing that with shin Godzilla, buteven more so here, you know,
where we're just like instead of justbeing like, let's do something weird with
Godzilla. Well, he's definitely justwearing his influences on his sleeves. I
already felt the vibes of like severaldifferent movies watching this and then looking up
interviews after I came out of itand him just admitting what the influences are.

(11:13):
Oh that I said, It's justlike he was like one thing just
because he appreciated that take. Andobviously that's like the most recent Godzilla film
before this, And he said healso like really harkened back to the original
nineteen fifty four film. Yeah,and he also said Jaws that are there's

(11:33):
a lot of scenes that are directlike from the from the original movie.
Yeah. I appreciate and alighted onthe movie, and he also cited Jaws
as a major influence, which isone of the first things I said when
I came out of him, likethat had such major Jaws vibes. It
does. It does because I mean, if you're just an American Godzilla watcher,

(11:54):
if you've only seen some of theyou know, Godzilla twenty fourteen,
you're used to Godzilla sort of beinga good guy, you know, like
always being like a friend to all. But if you're you know, you
go back a little bit and otherthan just even shin Godzilla, you have

(12:15):
Tokyo s os you know, likeyou know where it's he's straight up evil
Godzilla, you know, like andlots of other Yeah, and he's just
a villain attack, which is anotherone he cited. I'm like, oh,
I could see that because Godzilla issuch a prick in that, right,
I would. I would say that'sprobably my favorite thing about this is

(12:39):
that it is an evil Godzilla,you know, Like I love that we
are just leaning into like this isjust a bad situation, you know,
like this is not you know,it's almost an an allegory. It's almost
not like a like, oh,we shouldn't have used nuclearms allegory and more

(13:01):
of a just like revenge against humanityfor fucking existing. You're just like,
oh no, and uh and Ireally enjoyed how uh how deep into Godzilla?
This this director really is, youknow, and you can tell he

(13:22):
is because you were saying it earlier. The influence of the original movie is
very apparent, not only in thescenes where they literally have the guy sitting
on the whole crew on the roofnarrating Godzilla when they're first you know,
in Ginza, And I was like, I was like, I was laughing
at that because I was like,I was like, if if if this

(13:43):
was American film, there would beAaron Burr there, Raymond Yeah, Raymond
Burr, Sorry, yeah, notEric Raymond Burr. And You're just like,
uh, I thought that was funnythat, like, you know,
like they're harkening back to the originaland directly hard and then killing them.
We try to emulate that original filmbefore, not so much instructure. This

(14:05):
one feels so similarly like structured tothat original movie, but in tone we
try to sort of recreate it.Like every basically every time Toho has rebooted
it and we're like, okay,we're starting off with a solo movie for
right now, we're just Godzilla byhimself. We tend to like, let's
make it darker, let's not makeit silly, and even the twenty fourteen
legendary film also try to hark himback to that, just like we're very

(14:26):
serious. This is this is thisis a war movie. It's a war
movie. Now, every Godzilla moviehas human drama. You have to have
it, or your Godzilla Final Warsand all the humans fight each other or
yell at each other, and guesswhat, I love that more. But

(14:48):
also you have like shin Godzilla,where you see your gradhic side of Yes,
there's so much a central cast ofcharacters and Shinn so much as it
is just like Godzilla versus Government,Yeah, and that, Or you have
like Godzilla versus Bylante, where youhave like the girl who's the psychic and
you know, like there's a lotof Godzilla movies or Matha movies where they're

(15:11):
like, there's a girl that's apsychic, you know, like and you
know, like that's we've gotten usedto that. I love this movie for
a lot of reasons, but Ithink one of the reasons why this will
be harkened as one of the bestGodzilla movies is it's able to do the
human drama and not only make youcare about it, but add stakes that

(15:33):
matter and feel real, and theyare able to make you care and actually
give a shit about the human dramagoing on, and you know, you're
I feel like there was like justenough Godzilla in this to make you,
you know, satisfied, but alsothe human drama wasn't didn't make me be

(15:56):
like, Okay, come on,let's go, you know, like like
what Mike you do with a lotof older Godzilla movies, Like and I'm
a Godzilla fan, but there's somegods of human plots where you're like,
I kind of want to fast forwarduntil they're punching each other. Kind of
comes to the territory. That's whywhen people complained about it for the two
legendary films, you're just like,bro, this is par for the courus,

(16:18):
my man, Yeah, right,this is what it is. Yeah.
And even even I heard a terriblereview as I was leaving the theater,
they were like, oh, theJapanese have a lot of drama,
right, And I was like,I was like homie, homie, homie,
have some fucking human empathy this.I was like, these are people

(16:38):
that we literally firebombed their city.That's what we're looking at. Like dummies
might be looking at this movie andthink that the Tokyo that they're looking at
as burned that they're living in isuh, you've been nuped. Nope,
that's more than they did for months. Yeah, we didn't just knew we

(17:00):
didn't just we didn't just drop twogigantic nukes which would have, you know,
completely decimated those cities. But notonly that, but we did fire
bombing around, uh, to everymajor city to prep for dropping the bombs,
and you know that from Oppenheimer.But like you know, like that's
like but like it's one of thosething. And then a lot of people

(17:22):
were joking, they're like this isOppenheimer two yea, Like you're just like,
yeah, I mean a little bit, Like you're just like a little
bit cause like it's definitely UH doesnot concentrate on the nuclear power here,
it's just more the uh. Thisis a post World War two drama,
yes, which is what I likedabout it. Like plot wise, we

(17:45):
follow a former Kamakazi pilot, whichis already an oxymoron and part of the
drama, just like former Kamakazi pilotkind of contradictsing each other does it and
just the uh and just that likeguilt that permeates, like, oh,
I it's like I've lost my honor. I'm not a real man. I
couldn't make the sacrifice that other peopledid. And I got this battalion that

(18:06):
actually took me in killed because Iwas too cowardly to fight back. And
people directly tell him to his facethat like he's the reason why they lost
the war, even though he knowsit would have not changed a thing to
do neither of the things that hewas asked to do, you know,
to either kamikaze or shoot Godzilla inthose scenes. You know, like both

(18:33):
of those things would have not doneshit, you know. And we all
kind of know that his family's gonebecause of the fire bombing. House is
gone, and he takes in thisgirl who's taken in a baby that her
basically her neighbor gave her before shedied. So it's just like this found
family through like hard times, yeah, and then just sort of building back

(18:55):
up their lives kind of you know, Christmas we usually taught. We taught
last Christmas, we talked about likeTokyo Godfather and like found families, you
know, like and I think thisis another like found family thing. And
I thought that was kind of interestingand nice and it's I also liked that

(19:17):
this was not like in a worldwhere we're drowned in save the small child
plots, like since the Mandalorian wassuccessful, you know, where they're just
like, okay, well so nowwe just say so it's been a thing
before the Mandalorian. I just madeit mainstream. I've been dealing with that
in video games for like the pastten years. I mean, yes,

(19:38):
very reach true between like the Lastof Us and the God of War reboot,
but I would say, that's notwhat's happening here. You know.
This is more like you know,fighting for your family instead of you know,
like, oh I gotta save thisbaby directly, you know, yeah,
like you know, like thankfully,you know, Like, but I
was so engaged like this core castacharacters between not only Koechi and Rico and

(20:03):
their stuff, but also like thecrew that he like finds the minds with
to shoot and stuff. It gotto the point where and a friend of
mine nailed it and he's also abig Godzilla fan, and he had said,
this is like one of the few, maybe only times where Godzilla showed
up in screen and I actually felta sense of dread because I cared.
Yeah, I I completely agree.I think that's what's gonna happen here.

(20:26):
Is that? Like I think ifyou're you know you, like I said
that guy's like terrible review as hewas walking out. If you don't have
some empathy towards this, I don'tknow what to tell you, Like this
movie will help you, will willmake you care, you know, like
about Yeah, Like one of mypicture takeaways was you could take Godzilla out
of this movie and it would stillbe a really good post World War yamma.

(20:51):
It would still a function, itwould still work. But then you
throw Godzilla in and you got itjust makes it better. I don't,
I don't. I haven't gushed yet, like this movie is. This movie's
like I've kind of hold him back. And of course because we already said
it, but spoilers, this movie'sfantastic. This movie's fucking bruh. Made

(21:11):
me so happy. This movie sentfucking the happy serotonin bubbles to my fucking
brain. My man, this movieis great because not only does it make
you care for the human drama finally, and you're just like sitting there being
like I actually give a shit,holy shit, you know, like you're

(21:32):
looking around being like everyone else seemsto give a shit, holy shit,
you know, like, and thenGodzilla shows up and he's absolutely frightening.
I I And there was several momentswhere I gasped, cheered, and so
did everyone else in the in theroom. And I think that that was
a lot of fun. Uh youknow, like second week, I'm going

(21:55):
to see it in IMAX and it'sstill like a full house in New to
the audience, you know, andand i'max in New Hampshire. You know,
you're like, what, okay,great, awesome, you know,
like and it and it really therewas several just absolutely awesome moments, like
I think you you knew you weregot, you were everyone you knew everyone

(22:17):
was fucked from the beginning. Whenthe Godzilla came out and killed the whole
Odo crew, you were it wasa Godzilla saurus. Yeah, it's I'm
like, hey, I love thatas a fan of Oh man, is
that Godzilla? Uh? Mecha Godzillawhere they go back in time and see
the Godzilla saurus. It might be, it might be I'm misremembered, guys,

(22:42):
and I'm sorry so many movies,and a lot of them have alternate
titles, but yeah, exactly,But basically, there's a Godzilla movie where
they go back at time and theysee Godzilla Saurus and they try to like
kill it, and you know,they're like and then kick Door is like
yeah, and they're they're like they'reKingador's like thanks, but now it can

(23:04):
take over the planet and they're they'relike, oh shit, we killed Godzilla
and now we gotta make a Gonzillaand you're like, oh, and you
know, like it's cool that weget to see a kind of a Godzilla
soaurus here, like a like areasonably sized Godzilla at for the first moment,
and I was thinking at first,I was like, Okay, you
know, I'm used to a JapaneseGodzilla being small, but obviously this isn't

(23:27):
his final form. And then theyliterally don't. They do it with only
visual storytelling and don't even allude toit further. They just show the atoll,
the Bikini Atole nuclear tests, andthey see the bombs go off and
you see Godzilla scream and that's it. They don't like specifically of like his

(23:51):
eye. Yeah, and he andthen forever on he's growing and getting bigger
and mutating and literally every attack likeliterally my face. Probably my favorite scene
in this there's several favorite scenes inthis entire movie, but probably my favorite,
uh that made everyone gas was theshooting Godzilla the mind and his mouth

(24:15):
to Sean and yeah smile and soyes, why you submit? And then
it just like grew back. Likeeveryone screamed and I did too. I
was like, I was like,oh shit, they're fucked now. I

(24:36):
was like, yeah, have fora fucking wolverine ass healing factor. Yeah,
it was like god damn. Andthen I I absolutely loved the destruction
of is it Diza? Is itis? Is that? How you say
that towns, that city's name?That there that he just absolutely decimates halfway

(24:56):
through the movie, is again that? Yeah, I get so sorry,
thank you? Uh. And andhe hits it with the atomic breath,
which like after shin Godzilla and AmericanGodzilla, that's those are hype hype atomic
breaths. They're hard to be,hard to be, uh, Doom Doom,

(25:18):
Doom Doom. I was fully Godzillawreck gotten to Shun. I don't
know I had a way to putit. They definitely that one specifically felt
like they were They looked at thelegendary film and just like, yo,
we could top that, we could, Yeah, we could do it better.
And guess what they did. Theydid. I was so fucking hype

(25:38):
about that ship and I knew itwas coming, like I saw the start
of it in the trailer, andit still fucking sent me through the roof.
If it wasn't such a devastating scene, I would have been said,
you didn't even expect to be muchlike Shane. You're like, Okay,
here comes atomic breath, but inneither movie do you expect it to be
so fucking overpowered? Yeah? Right, I do love that though, Like

(26:00):
that's already got shin and in thisjust like oh he did just nuke mouth,
he can just spit out nukes themushroom cloud and like the like shockwave
that hits afterwards. Oh man,fuck it. It just absolutely epic stuff.
And I and and that's the thingis that every bit of the Godzilla

(26:25):
scenes you get are epic, hugefun things are flying through the air and
they're just it's just awesome. Andthen you have these actual human drama that
you actually give a shit about,and you're like, hey, you guys,
finally did it. You guys crackthe Godzilla fucking code, like you
guys, like other than Goshira,you know, like it's very hard to

(26:47):
give a shit about the humans sometimes, you know, like it's it can't
it really does, you know,even in the legendary Godzilla movies, especially
twenty fourteen, specially twenty fourteen,they really try to lean into like,
you know, you try, youknow, let's care about these humans.
You know, like the moment Joedies and you're just stuck with Aaron Taylor
Johnson's character, You're like, Okay, this is significantly less interesting. Yeah.

(27:12):
Yeah, and I feel like it'sa good shock moment. But it's
also one of those things where you'relike, hey, guys, I think
you think too much of and ofof Taylor john Aaron Taylor Johnson, I
still think that as they make himcraven, who can be like, who
can be charismatic, But you havethem playing like this just like very serious

(27:34):
stick in the mud the entire time, so not very interesting to follow.
So we we have here in inthis movie you have a coach uh coachy
uh and uh and the and themain coach and and his love and the
the girl that joins him uh Noricoand uh and of course how do you

(28:00):
say the child's name? Because Icould Akio is Akiko? I think I
think it was Akikoko and I that'sthe thing is that I think that these
actors, uh, you gotta givecredit where credit is due. They are

(28:21):
selling this movie, all of them. I gotta give credit to the entire
cast. Like I joked about inin in our false start that like everybody
knows it's their moment to say Godzilla, but like everybody so good in this
And I am actually really impressed bythe whole cast of this movie. They

(28:41):
they really deliver believable and real performancesand talk about uh and I think the
something sole subject matter is something verytruthful and how culturally over the top like
it can be. Like they thinkabout Jack Beanese acting and live action and
it applies to voice acting as well. Is that there's not as much,

(29:07):
say compared to us, separation betweenlike the stage and other mediums. That's
why when you like watch anime orwatch Japanese live action films, like everyone
kind of plays it a little bigyeah, because that's like that's what they're
trying to shoot for the chart.Yeah, like cartoon like like him slamming
his head down or uh, youknow, or the guy's apologize. They

(29:30):
have like a funny moment where Docapologizes to him. And I was like,
that was so anime, Like whatwas you know, like he does
something and he's like, you know, like he does like a he does
like like an embarrassed like head touch. And I was like, I've seen
that in like Iron Blood Orphans,Like what was I was like, I
was like, that was a scenefrom an anime. Like uh but speaking

(29:51):
of scene from an anime, oneof the best scenes and why I gotta
give it the the credit to theactor who plays Koachy. Uh. He
does a a you know, andit's I think it's a culturally relevant thing
at this point. Is a Shinjyscream? You know, like is a
a and you know, after RockerRaccoon, everyone should know that's a Shinjy

(30:11):
scream, you know, like andI'm sure they're saying some reviewers are like,
yeah, he does a Rocker Raccoonscream, and I'm gonna be like,
but like, but but I oryou know, you could even go
further that they give a Charleston Hestonscream. I guess, you know,
I guess you could keep going backthat like, Shingy scream is very similar,

(30:32):
but it's not. It's not.It's very specific what the Shinjy scream
is. It's an absolute scream ofhorror, not a not of like anger
like to Charleston Heston. It's anabsolute horror scream. And I think that
it's a lot of people debate ifthe new Netflix dub of Ivan Gellian if
the new guy is a better Shinjyscream. I think he is. I

(30:55):
think he too. I think he'sa devastating liked it. Yeah, I
think it's I think the Netflix dubis much better. I think there's something
to be said about the original.I do. I do think there's something
a little raw to it. ButI think the the real like I think
the Netflix one just I think itpulls on your heart strings and I think

(31:17):
the same thing happens here when Coachhe does his scream after watching Godzilla blow
up uh get Giza. It justyou're just like, what the I thought
that was incredible. I thought thatwas I thought that was an incredible moment.
I thought you did a great jobof that, because that is not
easy. That's not a that's nota simple you know scream to give you

(31:38):
know, like, that's not youknow, that's not a simple thing to
not to under You could undersell it, you could oversell it. And I
think they he does a great jobof like capturing the horror of you know,
like you already live of of Japanalready being beat down and then Godzilla
coming in and being like Han minusone. And also just like the visual

(32:02):
of like the raining dirt oh manthat was in like the aftermath, I'm
like, that is so sick.But speaking of ties to a devastating but
speaking of ties to anime, wealso have the composer for this film,
now Quisato, who if you're upto date on your anime, he was
the composer Fella Areka seven. Hewas the composer for Sword and the Stranger,

(32:25):
which is a great movie. Butmore recently he also did the music
for a Dragon Ball Super Superhero oohooh. I think the soundtrack here,
and I think I said it forsuperhero was. I think I said Superheroes
was great. The soundtrack here issomething else, like yes, a human

(32:45):
drama that I would say there youknow that people are joking that like,
oh, yes, this is ahuman drama that really like speaks to like
will to live, uh, andyou know, but also there's this like
haunting soundtrack. This soundtrack is absolutelygorgeous. I need it on vinyl,
Like it's an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack thatcreates its own sound for a very long

(33:07):
time that like I was totally okaywith, Like they didn't break out the
Godzilla theme until the very end,and it's such a hype moment when they
break it out because because they dowant it when he's in the city the
first time he attacks Ginza, Ifeel like it's almost more emotional in the
second the second time they do.Yeah, it seems to like three times.

(33:30):
Actually yeah, because it's like thefirst time he attacks Ginza, because
it plays when you see Norico inthe subway car looking out at Godzilla and
they play then they played in theclimax, and then they play it again
at the end with the like ohalready here already. But the uh I

(33:52):
I think that that was. That'sit's so clever, and it's one of
those things that I would have beenokay with this completely new uh you know,
like minus one soundtrack because it's sogood, and then them bringing in
the Godzilla team just works so welland it adds so much like like you
know, the Godzilla themes already.Fucking yeah. It's also just a solid

(34:15):
reorchestration of that original theme, whichwe've seen before, like big ups to
Bear McCreery's version in King of theMonsters. That whole fucking score for King
of the Monsters is so goddamn good. I love Tom Holkenberg aka Junkie XL,
but his his Godzilla versus Kong scorejust didn't hit the same. No.

(34:36):
Uh so, I mean this isthis is a hard I'm already you
know, like sitting there being like, so, what is you know my
favorite Godzilla? Like you know alreadyyou know because this that movie. That's
how good this movie is, guys, because you're sitting there being like is
this better than the original? Youknow, like you're like, ah,
it's a remake of it. It'svery much. I certainly came out of

(34:59):
it, just like I think Ilike this more than Shin, and I
really liked Shin. Yes, Iwas rewatching Shin to get ready for this
movie and then like, and Ireally like Shin, and but then like
after seeing this, I was like, I, ah, nah, this
is this is more my speed,you know, like, this is more
do I generally prefer a Godzilla moviewhere it's more about him punching another monster,

(35:22):
yes, but in terms of likethe more serious solo Godzilla films,
on the own, he's the primarythreat. This is definitely on the upper
eschelon. Uh huh. And Ithink that it needs to be said that,
like I liked it more than Chinbecause I think that one of the
strongest things about Chin is the imagery. I think the imagery in that movie

(35:45):
is so strong, and that's thereason why you brought in uh, you
know on you know, like that'swhy you did that, you know,
like to bring that imagery in Minusone? Is is it top of it
the show? I would say sobecause as a whole, I just think
Minus one just works more. Thething about Shin that I came away with
like thinking about it after seeing Minusone is just like, Okay, The

(36:07):
thing I like the most about Shinis mostly just pertaining to like Godzilla himself,
the esthetic, the horror of it, the like deconstruction of it,
how monstrous it is. Like Ilove the horror vibes for it, But
outside of that, it's pretty standard. Whereas like Minus one, I would
say Shin is a very Japanese movie. I would say that's really the real

(36:30):
thing that sticks out is that isthat it's such a how does Japan respond
to Godzilla? And like it's veryI feel like it's almost a very personal
Godzilla movie to Japan, you know, Like, and I feel like that's
the reason why Shin might not sitwith Western audiences as well as Minus one,

(36:52):
will, you know, like youknow, like I feel like this
is you know, but this isalso fair personal to like Japanese culture as
well. It is I think doesnot lose its Japanese identity at all.
I think, but there's also somethingspecific to latch Onto because Shin is much

(37:13):
more broad because it's more like bureaucracyas just a group. There's not really
a central core cast to like latchOnto or like a specific character. Yeah,
and you're just kind of like,eh, and I think I think
I came away preferring the iteration ofjust Godzilly himself, just because I love

(37:36):
I just love the horror aspect.I love the aesthetic. The eyes can
be a little dirty, but it'slike that middle ground. It's just like,
he looks dirty, but it's alsobeady and really deep. So let's
let's talk Godzilla design. Then let'ssay, if we're talking that, let's
talk a little bit Godzilla design,because I think that this is a I
think this is a great Godzilla design. Uh most of the time, but

(37:58):
there is times where and he's sittingthere chicken armed. You know, he
is exact, he is his armsare so fucking close to his chest and
shit, already, it was avery like he was sitting there with his
arms up like he's like an animevillain or something. You know, he's
like you know, by the factis you know, like uh, but

(38:19):
like here, there's moments where theyshow him from underneath and you're like,
da, that's a big motherfucker chicken. You know, it's just like you're
like, god nah. But thenwhen he starts moving, he he looks
great. I think that's I thinkthat, you know, and I really
liked his scale design here where it'svery animalistic but not you know, like

(38:43):
losing Godzilla's Yeah, there's definitely forMinus one, there's definitely some cues taken
from the legendary design. Yes,definitely. I do think you. I
think a lot of American audiences willgo into this and be like, oh,
there was some bad cgi. Guys. This movie was fifteen million dollars

(39:06):
to be made, which is unheardof, which the director himself has actually
said is isn't accurate. It wasactually less than that about closer, Yeah,
because that's probably with yeah, that'sprobably with like a advertisement budget.
They were talking to about the budgetand he said, I wish it was
fifteen million. So not only isit is it? Is it super cheap,

(39:30):
a cheaply made movie, but alsodid they I think that people forget
some of the bad graphics that arein pretty much every Japanese Godzilla movie.
They're they're working with a smaller budgetthan the Americans are throwing at it,
you know, like for the legendaryfilms, and that's you know that that

(39:53):
that might show and that's not theshit on like Godzilla x Kong, But
that's it looks real cartoony, andthat's fine because you know, given the
tone like what that movie's going tobe. But it is one of those
things where it's not even necessarily justabout how like realistic and all the details
and you can see the details ofthe pores of their face and stuff like

(40:13):
that for the animation, it's alsoabout other stuff. The big thing that
works for the fourteen film and Kingof the Monsters on the American side is
there's a reason they keep those moviesin the dark or behind like weather effects,
and they give like such weight tothe monsters, so they have like
realistic physics. They're lumbering, they'reslow, because that makes you feel the

(40:34):
sense of scale even more so thanlike how pretty the CGI is. Yeah,
and I think that you know,if if you're complaining about CGI and
Godzilla films, get your complaining inthe wrong movies. Guys, you're complaining
the wrong movies. I love Godzillamovies because I can see the love that
went into making the movies, andthat's the main reason why it's at least

(40:58):
I love filmmaking. I love ofseeing the love of filmmaking come through in
the product. And I think thatreally comes through here is that like they're
not using managers or a guy ina suit, but I think the look,
yeah, I do miss that,but also I think it looks good
here. There is moments where helooks a little stiff, but overall I

(41:21):
think he looks great. And Ithink some of some of the worst offenses
of c G I are phone slidingoff my lap is the like tanks or
something. They show a tank setup at one point and you're just kind
of like, man, that doesn'tlook great. But at the same time,

(41:44):
you're like, how important is itto show these one tanks? They're
about to get blown up anyways.You just like and also think about how
good looks like post atomic breath fora budget that low, right, like
the actual destruction. I think that'sreally it is that, you know,
like there's some moments that the CGIcan look a little a little lower on

(42:07):
the budget, but overall Godzilla looksfantastic the entire time. You know,
like, yes, I'm saying he'sgot chicken arms, and there's moments where
he looks stiffer, but like helooks great still, you know, like
he's still in shot looking amazing duringthose moments. And I think that those
destruction scenes are absolutely epic, andthey do an amazing job of really like

(42:30):
capturing the destruction on such a smallbudget, which is amazing. You know,
like you're like, this is incredible, and they deserve to make all
the money they're making off of this. I'm so excited that they're making a
ton of money because it has sucha scale to it, given like how

(42:50):
little they would have to work withas compared to like a huge Hollywood like
blockbuster. Like comparatively, I thinkthe Legendary film was like almost one hundred
million, like the first one.Yeah, so like having ten percent of
that kind of money and being ableto deliver so well is super impressive.
Yeah, it really is. Andit's to the point where the destruction is

(43:12):
so effective and so believable that Icall bullshit on the end. So other
than one aspect, it's so theGodzilla twenty fourteen had one hundred and sixty
million dollar budget, Kongskull Island hadone hundred and eighty five million, and
Godzilla King of the Monsters had onehundred seventy to two hundred million dollars,

(43:37):
So all of them have one hundredpercent more budget than this movie. And
they look amazing, they really do. But am I going to go and
rewatch this minus one a bunch probablyprobably? Yeah? Yeah, this is
this is the goods, guys.Not only does the human drop I'm a

(44:00):
slap, Godzilla looks great, doesamazing things, just kind of makes you
jump a couple times, which asa Godzilla fan, it's pretty cool.
You know. It's you know,like, and I'm totally okay with guys.
I know there's tons of people outthere being like, h godzilliks and
you just said it kind of looksgoofy. I'm okay with it. I'm

(44:22):
okay with a with goofy Godzilla existingalong with horrifying war crime. Yeah,
it's like, it's not like Godzillaversus Kong wasn't cheesy in and of itself.
It's about the giant lizard fighting thegiant monkey. It's fine, right,
it is fine. It is sortof weird, but you know,
it's also a similar progression that theactual Toho films made, were like we

(44:44):
progressively get a little more and morecartoony and lighthearted. Is it weird to
go from twenty fourteen where he likehe's so heavy that like when he enters
on shore, there are literal tsunamisin his wake to like him full on
sprinting at the end of that tailor. Sure, but we've went on the
other side of the pond. Soyeah, and it's one of Yeah,
it's one of those things where everyonewas being like, Godzilla doesn't run,

(45:07):
and you're like, guys, Godzillaalways runs. I don't know what Godzilla
movies you watch it, but Godzillaruns in flying Kicks. Yeah, Like
come on, uh, it's I'vealready ranted about the kicks before, but
like they did that for us,man, they did that for us,
and that's amazing piece of film rightthere. So the but god but Godzilla

(45:32):
x. Kong, I think thatthere's it's fun to have a fun movie.
And even if American producers think thatwe can't have a Godzilla movie without
a Kong attached to it, thismovie proves it. I think this movie
proves it. I think that's mostlybecause King of the Monsters underperformed, but

(45:52):
Godzilla versus Kong did really well.So I think they're like hesitant to do
another solo Godzilla movie, which Iwould prefer, especially since I didn't mind
that Godzilla versus Kong was Kong biasedbecause Kong never got his sequel, so
I always felt like they were justkind of giving him a sequel in that.
But here having now he's got ananime, there's a Kong Island anime.

(46:13):
You know, like there's now alot of other media being cong biased
again and it just being about abigger, batterer, giant monkey for them,
the team up against. I'm like, Okay, now it's not really
even anymore. So I don't thinkit's just that. I think there's you
know, Ska King is the hthey're showing him off. But obviously the

(46:35):
big reveal is that there's gonna bean original like Mama tight at Godzilla.
I think that's like or an originaltight and got like Godzilla type. It's
like a big white Godzilla, iswhat I've seen from the toy leaks.
Always the leaks everything, it's alwaysthe toy leaks. They leak them out

(46:58):
and uh and basically what I thinkthat's what they're they're doing there. I
think there was a bunch of theoriesgoing around this past week where they were
like, oh, the pink Godzillaisn't even Godzilla. That's a female Godzilla
and the real male Godzilla will popup later. I'm like, wrong,
we already know that Godzilla goes intohibernation and and comes back more hyped up.

(47:22):
We literally did that. We justdid it, guys. That's literally
the five of the last movie.They're doing it again. There's no other
Godzilla, the other god but theother Godzilla is and I think an original
Titan. You know, there'll beSka King and there'll be another Godzilla type,
you know. Yeah, because Ithink after I think after Godzilla versus

(47:42):
Kong, they would have to payfor another license to use the other monsters.
Yes, so for now, especiallysince like we're sort of we're sort
of in like a weird place wherelike these movies need to do better than
they have for a little bit inorder to keep the ship afloat. So
I imagine they're just like, let'sjust make our own mind because maybe we
can't even afford to get other toestuff for now. Yeah, And I'm

(48:04):
totally cool with them doing Son ofKong, like I am, like,
I am cool with them doing Kongstuff. I'm not against it because Kong
deserts, American kaijus are important,you know, like, let's let's beef
them up. But also, youknow, I'm here for Godzilla, you
know, like we're all really herefor That's what they're missing out on.
Like KNG didn't get a sequel,so it was cool for in GVK for

(48:28):
that to just be it. Butyeah, now he's gotten it, so
to be a little at least fromwhat we've seen, a little more Kong
biased. It's just like, eh, this almost feels like just a Kong
movie guest starring Godzilla. Yeah,I am a little worried about that that
that might be the feel, butwe'll, uh, that's all sleep based

(48:49):
on what they've shown, Yeah,what they've shown, because I feel like
it might you know, like itit will definitely be half the movie Godzilla,
like it's a super Superman. Butwe always talk about it. They
don't know what to do with theguy who's going to defeed everything, you
know, like and Godzilla is gonnabe in hibernation for most of the movie
and then come out they're gonna youknow be like, oh, I think

(49:09):
people forget that. Like we hadtwo fights between those two in the last
one, and Godzilla won both ofthem. Yeah, right, you're like
people like to split up the cityfight like it's two different fights when it's
not, like it's just two fightsand Gong loses both, yeah, and
and yes, does Godzilla lose touh mecha Godzilla? Yeah, that's the

(49:30):
fucking point of Mecca Godzilla Home Dogsupposed to be a Godzilla killing machine like
and so, but is it gonnabe able to kill Kong? Ah?
Hell now? But in lieu of, you know, on stuff with Mine
one, I know, one ofthe reasons they didn't want to make a

(49:51):
direct sequel to Shin was they kindof wanted to just build out the new
continuity again. And so I'm wondering, it's like, all right, is
Minus one supposed to the start ofthat or are we just going to get
another re reboot after this, becauseyou know it's happened before. So let's
see. We already said the spoilersthing. So at the end of the
movie, here we have a Sofirst off, I absolutely was geeking that

(50:15):
they were going to bring out theozone uh the Destroyers. Yeah, I
was. I was geeking that wasgonna be the Auction Destroyer. But I
was actually excited by the by theirsolution here because it's it's a more logical
solution that like no animal can sufferthe consequences of being dropped under that pressure

(50:38):
and then raised immediately. Like it'sjust it makes a lot of sense like
that, like the pressure should crusheverything in the monster, and if not,
the raising up should pop everything insideof them, of any living creature,
you know, like it makes ait makes a lot of sense their
plan. So I know a lotof you know, people might be like,

(50:59):
but like, I really like somefun fact kids, that's why blobfish
look the way they do because they'vebeen raised up to if they are not
supposed to look like that. Yeah, And I really liked that. There
was all the deep sea fish thatwere inflated because they were deep sea fish
and they came up too fast andthey reached the top dead, and they
were all like and even when Godzillarises up, like his eyes are bolting

(51:20):
out of his head and he's likebleeding everywhere, You're like, oh,
yeah, yeah, I love thatshit. And I thought that was really
great. And of course they reallylike I knew once they showed the plane
and there was a German seat thatlike they alluded to earlier that like no
the Japanese don't put an injection seatin but like, you know, but
Germans do, you know, Like, so I knew there was an injection

(51:43):
seat in there, and like andI knew something was going on the minute
they got the uh the letter aboutit before and they were like, no
way. And then I was like, I was like, okay, Norco
is alive, but like, andI knew there was anas injection seat.
But they do a great job ofadding steaks and they make it work.

(52:04):
And I think that, you know, even if you can predict it,
I think it still works at addingsteaks and drama to the end there.
And even if I think it's notbullshit or ricos, we saw that shot
where she was like pulled away,There ain't no way, although she absolutely
got we have that tease with likethat weird black mark on her neck when

(52:30):
we see her in the hospital.So I'm like, I swear to God,
this is the new shin Godzilla's tail, and we don't actually pay that
off. So but I do.I have heard already he's interested in making
you know, I'm gonna call itminus two for now on, but I
know that's they can't call it thatThey just can't. But I I would

(52:51):
absolutely be addressed in A minus twogoing forward and just kind of seeing what's
happening, because you know, atthe end of this we're seeing Godzilla reforming
in the water, you know.So I'm cool with like a fucked up,
pissed off Godzilla in the next movie, you know, and maybe fighting
something else. And then and yeah, like Zombie is Godzilla because I mean

(53:17):
lar he blew its head off.I was like, that's the way you
do it, like zombie style,right, and it's just like hell yeah.
But they also do the the thingon the neck, and it was
funny because they didn't turn on thelights right away after the credits rolled,
so everyone was like everyone was sittingthere being like, is there gonna be
another scene? And I was like, and I turned to my turned I

(53:37):
saw it with my buddy Peter,and I was like, I was like
we. I was like, wethere's no scene. That's not that's not
Japanese. They did the scenes,they did the Norico having the thing on
her neck, Godzilla reforming, youknow, like it's over, you know,
I mean the other Tea's I feellike, is how fast Godzilla Minus

(54:00):
one dispatches the Godzilla roar they're playingat it. I thought that was so
fucking funny that they were like,we're gonna distract my playing the Godzilla roar
at him and then he's They're likeand then they're like, there it goes,
because Godzilla immediately attacks it and justfucking chucks it across. And you're
just like this movie because there's alsolike the boat and stuff, and like

(54:24):
the train car. He's just fuckingtossing shit around tows and shit. I
do love it. It is inimax. I gotta say every one of
those throws hits, you know,like it fucking shakes the fucking building and
you're just like, oh shit,I love what kind of make like body
horror stuff in these movies. Forlike the monsters. I like seeing the

(54:45):
monsters get fucked up. So theway we're just abusing Godzilla in this it
kind of reminded me of the endof Versus Desudroya where he's just fucking melting.
Yes, yes, I I andDestroy is one of my favorites.
Like I It's in at least thetop ten of my Godzilla favorites, you
know, like and maybe top fiveand I think that, like because you

(55:07):
know, it's just a ridiculous movieand there's so much crazy like horror stuff
in it, and that's why I'vealways loved it. So Godzilla Junior in
it, who's always been way coolerthan meny. Yes, exactly exactly,
but I really I'm I'm really downfor more minus one. I'm good.

(55:28):
I think this is a good startingpoint. If this is what they want
to do to restart the timeline,you know, like that's fine by me.
Even if even if like you know, they kind of move jump forward
a lot, or they just kindof jump forward a little, I'd be
fine, you know, time wise. You know, like I really liked
that this was a period piece,and I think a lot of people will,

(55:49):
you know, I think that's whatwe'll have people keep coming back to
this movie, is that it's aperiod piece and that Godzilla is awesome.
You know, Like I feel likethat's what people I would like fight next
time, because if we've already hadlike two solo outings, I kind of
want to fight now. Yes,I will say that is that I do

(56:10):
like that they're alluding to like Godzillainfecting the Japanese public, and you know,
like that could be something cool,but I do I do need Godzilla
fighting something else, you know,Like I love this. I love Godzilla
by himself here, but it's alwaysone of those things where I'm like,
all right, now he's seen himdestroy Tokyo, give him something to kick

(56:36):
his ass or to kick its ass, you know, like it's time,
you know, like especially given likehow the tone of this worked out so
well, Like you can have both. It can be good like Monster Spectacle,
but it can also be good humandrama. And I don't know,
you know, how they're gonna topthe human drama here, you know,

(56:57):
I think that it's it's gonna bevery hard to beat because I feel like
there's there's a lot of the dramaderived from him coming back from more but
you know that. But then again, he's not the only story, you
know, you know, like youknow, so I think that there's there's
stuff to be done here, andI think that that could be really cool,

(57:19):
and I'm excited for more Toho producedGodzilla, you know, like that's
really it is that like I legendary, very cool, very excited by it.
You know, I want to seeit. I'm going to be there
opening weekend or then weekend alf orwhatever. But do I want more minus
one? More? Yeah? Yeah, I want minus two. Give me

(57:40):
minice three, give me nice four, give me come on, let's go
green light at all. Guys,you know, it made you a bunch
of money. Keep going. Imean we did establish in this that like
even before he was hit with thenuke and mutated and got bigger, like
he was just on that island andlike there were legends and the locals like
spread about him. So I'm like, all right, if he's one,

(58:00):
I'm sure there's more. Right.I was thinking the same thing. I
was just like, if there's justthat guy, you know, and he's
so aggressive towards predators, you know, like I feel like we're gonna see
something, you know, like evenif it's maybe another mutated Godzilla or or
something else, like or they couldjust pull a GMK and like use another

(58:22):
monster that's traditionally an opponent and justmake them like the protagonist. I guess
that's what GMK did. It's likeit made Godora the good guys. True,
It's true, and you know there'salways like making Mathro the good you
know, the good guy, youknow, Like I was thinking too.
Mathro would work really well in thissetting. You know, I feel like

(58:45):
people being like we've been destroyed,you know, Japan's been destroyed. We
have to look up to something,and they're looking up to like a made
up they think made up butterfly god, and then it's real, you know,
liked be cool. Actually have topresent Matha being useful in a fight.
Yes, that is the problem,but I always think you got to

(59:07):
add the larva and then you havesome fun, you know, like you
have the math for larva and it'sa good time. But I'm not saying
Matha is the next move. It'salways just the logical move. It's either
Godora or or that. But Ialso think we could just get weird immediately,
you know, and we could getGuy Gan or you know, like

(59:28):
you know, like really fucking justjust make some or just make a new
one, yeah or yeah. OrI think with the even more so with
the with people being mutated, wecould get a Biolante like creature, you
know, like which could be verycool. But you know, because that's
one of my faves. Yeah,that's another reason why I'm like myth that

(59:50):
we don't have another solo legendary film, because Michael Doherty says, like,
if they let me do another one, I would love to do Biolante just
like Michael Doherty. I would lovethat too. I agree. So basically,
guys for the warp Shell review,does this belong on your shelf?
Aps a fucking lutely? I thinkI need to own this now. I

(01:00:14):
own all Godzilla movies. I needto own this this fucking minute. This
is absolutely worth it and worth addingto your shelf, you agree to Sean,
Yeah, yeah, I only ownI own the I own Gojira because
you gave me your criterion after Igave you the collection, and I have
the two legendary films. This wouldbe one I'd probably grab two. Yeah,

(01:00:38):
I have have I have pretty mucheverything in Blu ray, and if
I don't have it in Blue Ray, I have it in DVD. And
I think I don't own shin Godzilla, though yesterday I went looking for it
and I have it on Google,but I don't have it in physical,
which is not the rating I wouldgive shin Godzilla either. I'd say own
shin Godzilla, but I might not, so I might need to remedy that

(01:01:05):
for Christmas or something, use agift card to get shit Godzilla or something.

it, and especially since a Godzillageek, but especially since you and I
have not seen a Godzilla movie togetherin theaters because I went to go see

(01:01:49):
twenty fourteen on my own. Isaw King of the Monsters on my own,
I saw Versus Kong on my own, and shin Godzilla I didn't even
see in theaters. I saw iton home media later. Yeah same here.

(01:02:09):
the Coolidge Godzilla to the original Gausho. No did I not go with you
to one? Are your roommates atthe time? All right? Damn?
But that was it. That wasa good time. I love that I
wore that shirt yesterday to the movie, but today I'm wearing my that wasn't
very cash money if you got Zillashirt. Yeah, I don't actually have

of Godzilla movies. And I'm abig Godzilla fan, but like a lot

of them aren't as engaging as theyprobably could be. I think this is
a really engaging, fun, bigfilm and words, Yeah, this is
this is one you can show tofriends who could not care less and not
have to say a bunch of caveatsor disclaimers. Yes, just like Okay,
this this will just play, yesexactly. I don't have to explain

(01:03:37):
Final Wars or Tokyo so Os beforeI show it, you know, like
you minus one, I mean youhave to kind of with those, but
with minus one, it's kind ofis a remake of the original god Zeroll,
you know, like so it's veryfrom page one, you know,
And I think that that's a bigstrength of this movie, which they you

(01:03:58):

just have Godzilla by himself, andthis absolutely is that that best version of
that. Yeah, I would sayso. But guys, go go see
