00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,760
Hi everyone. 
Derek here. 

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:10,880
So this episode was actually 
done almost two months ago, and 

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,680
the reason that there's been 
such a huge delay despite season

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,880
three moving at a pretty good 
clip, there's been such a huge 

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,840
delay in getting this episode to
you all. 

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Is that less than three days 
after recording this episode, my

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:33,240
mother died and I'm not look I'm
not you know, seeking the the, 

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120
you know, a bunch of of solace. 
Like obviously this is the thing

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
I am working through. 
It's a whole process. 

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,440
But you know, we recorded this 
on a Tuesday evening and then 

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,600
Friday morning I went over to 
pick up my mother to help her 

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,520
with some some necessary errands
and she had passed in her home. 

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,520
And then I found her. 
And I mean, obviously I have 

14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,200
been busy. 
We have been busy. 

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,519
It turns out that editing and 
putting out your Godzilla 

16
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,840
podcast is kind of not as 
important as things like, you 

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,720
know, settling somebody's 
affairs and preparing a funeral 

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,400
and and informing family and and
trying to keep life moving in 

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,400
the aftermath of all that. 
And and you know, frankly this 

20
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,440
this was an awkward and weird 1 
to get back to just because I 

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,880
was very overwhelmed. 
I don't think we say anything 

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,680
about it in the episode, but I 
was very overwhelmed while 

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,200
recording this episode because I
had been spending the last 

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,560
couple of months increasingly 
like taking care of of my mother

25
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,080
with her dementia. 
And it's it's hard going back to

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,480
something where I know in the 
back of my mind I was that 

27
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,640
frustrated and then I was going 
to lose her so soon after that. 

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,680
And that's that's just the thing
I've been grappling with. 

29
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,400
I'm I'm talking to people like, 
you know, I'm able to be frank 

30
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240
about this and about how 
complicated this all is for me. 

31
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,639
Because, you know, I have. 
Because my parents taught me to 

32
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,280
be open about these things. 
Because I have do do have good 

33
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,600
friends and and family who are 
emotionally open and who 

34
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,280
encouraged that emotional 
openness. 

35
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,880
And I am I am sorting through 
and processing and talking about

36
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,920
these feelings. 
This is a long, long, rambly 

37
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:31,600
thing, but the long and short of
it is Castle Bravo is going to 

38
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,920
be getting back on track here 
shortly. 

39
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,520
You know, we still have a 
little, little little hubbub 

40
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,360
about the actor strike that 
we'll worry about when we get to

41
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,400
Godzilla 98, but we're getting 
back on track. 

42
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,280
I just wanted people to 
understand why there was this 

43
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,920
random big gap. 
It's it's because mom died and 

44
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,560
dealing with family stuff is I 
love you all. 

45
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,160
I love this podcast. 
This is this has been a 

46
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,080
wonderful little artistic 
exercise for me and it's been 

47
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,200
great to re explore my 
relationship. 

48
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,720
With these movies. 
But like, that is clearly a 

49
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,360
thing that gets put on hold when
you have much more important 

50
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,440
life stuff going on. 
So don't worry about me, don't 

51
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,040
worry about Charlotte, Don't 
worry about us. 

52
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,080
Like, everything's good. 
Just understand that. 

53
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,200
That's, that's why we 
disappeared for a little bit. 

54
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,880
But we're we're coming back. 
Don't let this drag down the 

55
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,880
energy of the rest of the 
episode because it is a weird 

56
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,400
episode and a weird movie, and 
it is, you know, Godzilla versus

57
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Space. 
Godzilla is a movie that managed

58
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,280
to do something very rare, which
is drag, kind of like the writer

59
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,000
out of me, and make me think 
about what would need to have 

60
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,080
happened different to make this 
movie. 

61
00:03:55,410 --> 00:03:59,290
Something that hit me better. 
But you know you, I digress. 

62
00:03:59,450 --> 00:04:01,650
There's an episode ahead. 
You can see you're listening to 

63
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:03,650
it now. 
And we'll get to all of that. 

64
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:08,130
Thank you all for your patience.
Not that you know. 

65
00:04:08,490 --> 00:04:11,810
I needed it in the 1st place 
episode. 

66
00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:16,850
Hello everyone, and welcome to 
Castle Bravo, A Godzilla Verse 

67
00:04:16,850 --> 00:04:18,410
retrospective. 
I'm Derek. 

68
00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:21,170
And I'm Charlotte. 
And we're two siblings here to 

69
00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:23,770
examine the history of the 
Godzilla franchise, one movie at

70
00:04:23,770 --> 00:04:26,360
a time. 
We're joined today by podcaster 

71
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,680
and fellow SDGC host Matthew 
Finneman. 

72
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,200
Matthew, to us, but Finn within 
our hearts. 

73
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,920
Finn, How you doing, buddy? 
You know what I'm doing? 

74
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,480
I I'm. 
Doing, I would say, yeah, we're 

75
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,880
doing this at a super unusual 
time for this show, so the 

76
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400
energy is going to be a little 
weird yet. 

77
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,520
Normally we're like early on the
early in the day on Sunday kind 

78
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,320
of thing. 
But like you have been we, you 

79
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,400
and me both have been so 
ridiculously busy. 

80
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,680
It's been a rough, yeah. 
Yeah, several years, right? 

81
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,880
No, no. 
Like, like the the past couple 

82
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,240
weeks have just been really 
busy. 

83
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,040
Yeah, I had birthdays, trade 
shows, Expos, Caitlin's 

84
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,000
birthday. 
Then it was PAX, then it was a 

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,280
work show. 
And now I'm finally back and 

86
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:13,240
we're like, you know what? 
And then it was Martha's 

87
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,520
birthday and I was just like, 
you know what? 

88
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,800
That's cool. 
Yeah, I know. 

89
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,920
But yeah, we are. 
We are here. 

90
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,880
We are ready, Charlotte. 
Hello. 

91
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,240
How you doing today? 
I'm all right. 

92
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Got a little throat thing, but 
general things are pretty OK. 

93
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Most people have a little throat
thing stop. 

94
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Doing your Godzilla voice before
right before the show. 

95
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,960
They do call it you. 
They do call it a uvula. 

96
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,520
I I believe Uvolva probably not 
that. 

97
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,360
No. 
No. 

98
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,360
I I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure 
that's actually the correct 

99
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,640
pronunciation. 
Derek, you you've. 

100
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,240
Done surgery, you would know. 
I've been in the OR have you? 

101
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,560
No. 
So it does make you more of an 

102
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,200
expert than me. 
That's true. 

103
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:04,560
This is facts. 
So. 

104
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,800
Let me set the stage, yes. 
Oh no, no, please go. 

105
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,680
Oh, I was going to start getting
into like the pre movie history 

106
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,920
stuff before he went to the 
movie, but what did you have to 

107
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,280
see? 
Keep going. 

108
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,640
You just had a bad bullshit 
joke, didn't you? 

109
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,320
You're. 
Damn right, son, and I cannot 

110
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,040
wait to unleash it upon. 
You. 

111
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,760
I am ready for a just a torrent 
of awful puns this episode. 

112
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,720
So where we currently are in 
time, it is 1994. 

113
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,680
We are in. 
Finn, you're. 

114
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,960
Correct me if I'm wrong, you 
don't know like Jack shit 

115
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Godzilla, right? 
OK, let me tell. 

116
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:43,680
You. 
Yeah. 

117
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000
What's your history with it? 
My history. 

118
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,400
With Godzilla is the Matthew 
Broderick film is the peak of 

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,720
cinema, and nothing else in the 
Godzilla verse will ever come 

120
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,080
close to it. 
I'm kidding, but that is one of 

121
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,800
the first I've ever seen in 
theaters. 

122
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Like most of America, I knew it 
existed. 

123
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,920
But, like, I knew it existed in 
the same way that, like, you 

124
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,400
knew how Power Rangers actually 
were, right? 

125
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,840
Like. 
Yeah, that it was originally a 

126
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,080
Japanese show. 
And so, like, I knew about it. 

127
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,920
I had a friend that was really 
into it. 

128
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,240
It it was never really my thing 
because I've never been like 

129
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,440
really big on like old stuff. 
That's just that's just a me 

130
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,920
thing. 
But but I appreciated the impact

131
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,560
it had and also it had some 
pretty cool video games. 

132
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Yeah. 
Shout out to PS2 War of the 

133
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:40,440
Monsters. 
But but also, I actually ended 

134
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,120
up working for the Godzilla 
company. 

135
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,800
They were one of my clients for 
a for a a. 

136
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,680
Very brief moment in time. 
Like I I don't want to say 

137
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000
brief, but like, we worked 
alongside of them for a while 

138
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,720
because the boss of the the firm
I worked for, his girlfriend, 

139
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040
was like a higher up in the 
Godzilla universe. 

140
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,560
So we, like, snagged that 
contract. 

141
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,200
Super dope. 
Yeah. 

142
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,960
But anyway, it was super great 
and all the people at the 

143
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Godzilla, Godzilla, Versa were 
awesome. 

144
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,640
And I actually have an interview
floating around the Internet 

145
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,800
from San Diego Comic Con where I
got to interview the people from

146
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Godzilla because they came there
for that big anniversary that 

147
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,720
year. 
I think it was like, I don't 

148
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,760
know, they they were releasing 
some Shin Godzilla stuff and it 

149
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760
was like a huge anniversary for 
Godzilla. 

150
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,920
Gotcha. 
Hold on, I'm I'm going to find 

151
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,039
it. 
But anyway, also Shin Godzilla 

152
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,159
and. 
Evangelion Crossover was fucking

153
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,039
just the Bomb diggity. 
Yeah. 

154
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,159
So you're coming at this from 
where I think a lot of people 

155
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,440
are, which is like people in 
America are like familiar with 

156
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,200
the concept of Godzilla being 
this big franchise that they 

157
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,800
didn't watch. 
A lot of people have memories of

158
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,360
the the The 97 or 98 Tristar 
movie. 

159
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,680
Yeah, people obviously are to 
some degree, whether they've 

160
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:03,120
seen them or not, like aware of 
the ongoing Warner Brothers, 

161
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,480
like Legendary, Godzilla, and of
course Shin Godzilla. 

162
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,200
Like a surprising number of 
people saw Shin Godzilla because

163
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,680
that movie particularly kind of 
blew up. 

164
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,760
Oh, also the most famous part of
Godzilla ever, which is let them

165
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,960
fight. 
Yeah, right. 

166
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Also, so I pulled up. 
I interviewed someone named 

167
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,440
Akito Takahashi. 
On for Godzilla's 50th 

168
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,320
anniversary. 
OK, I'll have to look up who 

169
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,000
that is in regards to like Toho 
and and and what their like 

170
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,320
role. 
Is was it San Diego Comic Con? 

171
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,840
Anyway, there was some reason 
Godzilla was huge there. 

172
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,200
Yeah, it was the 65th 
anniversary of Godzilla during 

173
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,080
the 50th anniversary of Comic 
Con. 

174
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,960
OK, gotcha. 
So where we currently are. 

175
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,720
Is we are coming towards the end
of what's called the, hey say 

176
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,560
era of Godzilla. 
You know, Godzilla had this long

177
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:04,280
continuous run, you know, from 
1954 up through like 1975. 

178
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,160
And eventually the franchise 
went on ice for almost 10 years,

179
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,360
came back in 1984, and they were
like, hey, you know what? 

180
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,360
You know, we kind of really want
a fresh start with Godzilla, so 

181
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,280
we're going to make a new 
Godzilla 2. 

182
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:25,480
So still recognizing the 
original 1954 film, but starting

183
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,680
with a new fresh sequel to that 
and moving forward and this like

184
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:35,000
80s, nineties run of movies has 
for the most part been really, 

185
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,440
really good. 
We've been really, really 

186
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,320
surprised by the the quality of 
the production work. 

187
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,000
The quality of the directing and
writing and acting there is a 

188
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:52,320
lot of clear love for the kind 
of themes of the older movies. 

189
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,600
Cause a lot of the old movies 
needed to be like about 

190
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,520
environmentalism or about like 
imperialism and colonialism like

191
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,840
they found ways to to bring 
social commentary, you know in 

192
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,920
the in the vein of all great 
like cult like. 

193
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Pulp sci-fi of the era, right? 
Right now, yes, This last movie,

194
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,000
Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla 2,
was one where me and Charlotte 

195
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,920
were like, OK, this is a really 
good movie in terms of it's a 

196
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,120
fantastic blockbuster. 
But it kind of lost the plot in 

197
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,080
trying to be about things the 
way that we are used to. 

198
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,720
Godzilla being, what are you? 
Talking about it was all about 

199
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,120
the dangers of space pollution. 
Totally. 

200
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,720
So, so the original plan after 
Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla 2 

201
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,760
was OK Well this did well. 
We need another one. 

202
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,080
What are we going to do? 
The plan. 

203
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Was originally let's bring back 
King Ghidorah again, which has 

204
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,120
been their plan for like 3 
movies in a row and once again 

205
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,760
got scrapped. 
Actually Charlotte, you will be 

206
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,520
really interested in this. 
The plan was to actually have 

207
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,640
like the real Ghidorah come in. 
So the idea would be that 

208
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Ghidorah actually was the Shoah 
incarnation, where it's this 

209
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,160
like. 
You know, Galactus like 

210
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,480
conqueror from space that came 
to devour the planet, but when 

211
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,640
it gets defeated, it would end 
up on the ocean floor, thus be 

212
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,240
found and be used as the basis 
for but, which I think would 

213
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,960
have been super cool. 
Maybe cooler than what we got, 

214
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,440
but whatever. 
The Godzilla like the history of

215
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Godzilla's so full of unmade 
movies, we could almost do like 

216
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,040
an entire podcast series just on
that. 

217
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,480
And I'm not going to the new 
plan. 

218
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,080
Coward. 
Yeah, the new plan was the right

219
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,360
before. 
This was pretty similar to what 

220
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,600
we got the idea of a mutated 
Godzilla like clone from space, 

221
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,840
but with a rebuilt Mechagodzilla
as a sort of sidekick to 

222
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,880
Godzilla. 
And eventually Mechagodzilla got

223
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,040
reworked into Mogara, as we see 
I. 

224
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Was going to say yeah because 
the this. 

225
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:16,600
I had to look it up because it 
had the dumbest acronym of all. 

226
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,080
Time. 
It's pretty bad. 

227
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,480
Can I can? 
I please just read. 

228
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,600
Yes, give us the the acronym for
Moguera. 

229
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:34,960
Moguera is spelled MOGUERA and 
it stands for something because 

230
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,760
some. 
Mobile Operations Godzilla 

231
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,080
Underground Expert Robot Arrow 
type if I remember correctly. 

232
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,680
I might be wrong. 
First of all, how the? 

233
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,400
That's something but but it's 
actually accurate, so I want you

234
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,600
to understand. 
It's Universal Expert Robot 

235
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,600
Aerotype, not underground. 
But yeah, mobile operation. 

236
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,600
Godzilla. 
Universal Expert robot Aerotype 

237
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,960
goes underground, right? 
Horrible, horrible acronym. 

238
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,040
This is coming from a guy that 
reads comics so much. 

239
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,480
That and that is a world where I
can truly appreciate some dumb. 

240
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,280
Dumb acronym. 
Yeah, now this comes too much 

241
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,520
even for me. 
This comes from So Mogara is 

242
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,560
also like a classic Toho Kaiju 
that they kind of reinvented for

243
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,400
this movie. 
Originally, Mogara comes from a 

244
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,960
movie called The Mysterians, 
where it is the like robot 

245
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,440
minion, the giant robot that 
these alien invaders used to 

246
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,040
attack. 
And it's called Mogara because 

247
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,440
it's like a pun on the Japanese 
word for mole. 

248
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,800
So they kind of took an existing
name and then like, made a 

249
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,520
bullshit acronym out of it. 
As you do. 

250
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,120
Yes. 
But yeah, so you know, it kind 

251
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,760
of went through a few revisions 
before we got to where we are. 

252
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,920
But you know, eventually they 
were like, OK, well, 

253
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Mechagodzilla's already had a 
chance. 

254
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,760
Let's bring back another old 
obscure thing. 

255
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,200
And we got Mogara, which I mean,
I kind of think was a good talk,

256
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,480
like a good call. 
We'll get into that as we get 

257
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,040
into like the Plot Summary. 
But I'm of the opinion that was 

258
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,480
the right choice. 
The writer for this movie was 

259
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,960
Hiroshi Kashiwabara. 
I'm probably butchering the the 

260
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:22,520
like, stress on the last name. 
But Kashi Kashiwabara also wrote

261
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,680
several of the like early 
Millennium Godzilla movies. 

262
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,520
Many of them not very good, 
like, still have fond memories. 

263
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,360
I don't think there's a 
Millennium era movie that I 

264
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:38,560
truly dislike, but. 
Yeah, Oh no, right. 

265
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Muvu's directed. 
This is a newcomer in terms of 

266
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,640
the director seat for the 
Godzilla franchise. 

267
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,080
This is Kensho Yamashita, who 
does have some history with the 

268
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,040
franchise, though they they were
assistant director on Terror of 

269
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,200
Mecha Godzilla and Return of 
Godzilla. 

270
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,440
So not necessarily a newcomer to
the franchise, just somebody 

271
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920
getting promoted from the 
assistant director chair up to 

272
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,160
the director chair. 
Special effects work. 

273
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560
Koichi Kawakita's SFX 
supervisor. 

274
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,400
Obviously I've said repeatedly 
that this person is is in charge

275
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520
of all special effects through 
the 80s and 90s era. 

276
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,560
Now the music gets interesting 
because up to this point music 

277
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,640
has mostly been by original 
Godzilla composer Akira Ifokube,

278
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,480
who is a a fucking legend. 
And usually when it's not 

279
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,920
Ifokube, it's some nobody that 
we don't see or hear from again.

280
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:39,960
In this case we got Takayuki 
Hattori who this is their first 

281
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:45,040
time working on Godzilla, but 
after this movie he would go on 

282
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,000
to compose for like more 
Godzilla movies and also a 

283
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,400
couple of famous anime like 
motherfucking Mobile Suit Gundam

284
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:00,560
maybe maybe you've heard of it. 
And I've only heard of G Gundam.

285
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,880
That's the one with the racist 
countries that. 

286
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,839
That was the first gun that I 
ever heard of. 

287
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,319
Oh, and then also composed for a
lesser known, but I think 

288
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,480
incredible and worth watching 
anime called Martian Successor 

289
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,800
Nadeshico. 
And anyone familiar with 

290
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,640
Nadeshico, Their ears just 
perked up because that that show

291
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,720
has a truly incredible 
soundtrack. 

292
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,520
Charlotte, had you watched 
Nadeshiko? 

293
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,720
Or are you just familiar with it
because of like Super Robot Wars

294
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,720
and shit? 
Yeah, I'm I'm familiar with it 

295
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,800
because of SRW. 
Yeah, that's basically it. 

296
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,600
Well worth watching. 
Very Charlotte core, but like I.

297
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,200
Will watch it. 
Here's the thing. 

298
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,440
This is easily my favorite 
person who has not been Akira 

299
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,560
Ifokube to work on the score for
these movies. 

300
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,680
I think the score for this movie
fucking ruled. 

301
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,240
It's easily like the strongest 
point to me. 

302
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,880
Eva Kube's Grumpy Ass apparently
declined to return for this 

303
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,200
movie because the script was 
really bad and because they 

304
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,440
wanted to use rap music in a 
scene. 

305
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,160
And like Eva Kube, it's called 
having principles. 

306
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,240
Like, bless your heart, I guess 
you know you're incredible at 

307
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,720
your job. 
That doesn't mean mean. 

308
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,680
Like, here's the thing, we've 
also come to love if Akube. 

309
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,040
Because if Akube is known for 
being very like, outspoken and 

310
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,680
fuck you about you know like for
example, the lead producer on 

311
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,880
the series, Tanaka being a money
hungry Dick bag. 

312
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,280
Derek, would you say that that 
would make him a if? 

313
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Fuck you, BAE. 
That's. 

314
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:45,200
So bad dude. 
Is this just a thing that 

315
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,720
happens when you become a dad 
like? 

316
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,160
No Finn's been like this. 
Yeah, let's not pretend that 

317
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,280
this was anything to do, do with
that. 

318
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,000
In fact, it was just me 
training. 

319
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:00,200
Your your Your absence from the 
SDGC live show has brought us 

320
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,320
like a 98% reduction in awful 
puns, and I do kind of miss 

321
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:10,680
them. 
But yeah, so you know, Toho has 

322
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,280
assembled a cast and crew for 
this. 

323
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,440
You know, we've got our plan in 
place. 

324
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Charlotte, why don't you tell us
what happens in Godzilla versus 

325
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Space Godzilla? 
OK, so we start out in space. 

326
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,320
Godzilla's floating through 
space and there's like a barrage

327
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,600
of light that appears and it 
blasts the Earth. 

328
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,880
And then there's the title card,
Godzilla versus Space. 

329
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:43,160
And then we go to land Moghera 
undergoing a a system check and 

330
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,960
it's like being rebuilt. 
And then they discuss the the 

331
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,960
tea project, which is an 
attempted to telepathically 

332
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,880
control Godzilla. 
And Miki, who's a doctor now, 

333
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,440
doesn't want to do that, but 
considers it because, you know, 

334
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,480
the alternative is that they're 
going to take the psychic 

335
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,200
children to do it. 
Which would be where I want to 

336
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,640
interject for a moment. 
Because for us, we're like, OK, 

337
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,040
there's our girl, Miki Segusa, 
and her big monkey ears. 

338
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,040
She's back, right as she must 
be. 

339
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:20,240
They're going to telepathically 
try to control Godzilla, Sure. 

340
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,800
But I had a moment where I was 
like, imagine not watching any 

341
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,320
of the, hey, say movies and then
jumping into this one. 

342
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,960
Yeah, and imagine. 
Imagine that. 

343
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,800
So what is what is the opening 
of this movie like so far for 

344
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,720
you as somebody who is like 
coming into this with no psychic

345
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:51,720
defenses? 
So you know, you know, so I I 

346
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,360
loosely understood that like 
everything built upon itself, 

347
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,200
you know, But I I didn't know 
that it did it in a way that 

348
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,760
like. 
If you didn't watch previous 

349
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,840
ones, you were like, what the 
Hell's going on? 

350
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,240
Yeah, this was a bit of a 
problem with the last movie. 

351
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,600
And I was kind of, I had the 
same feeling here too early on. 

352
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,760
It's just like Mothras flowing 
through space. 

353
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,440
And I'm like, oh, OK And he's 
like shooting off baby Mothras. 

354
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,120
And you're like, that's cool, 
doesn't come up again. 

355
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,120
Not a part of anything. 
Here comes space Crystal 

356
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,680
Godzilla here to fuck your day 
up. 

357
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,480
Blow up some NASA stuff. 
I just giant robot just there. 

358
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,880
I don't. 
It apparently already existed. 

359
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,200
They're trying to mind. 
Psychic people exist and they're

360
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,640
trying to mind control. 
They got they got Xavier School 

361
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,200
for gifted telepathic Japanese 
kids. 

362
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,840
I'm just like, I'm just like, 
and then apparently yakuza 

363
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,560
people are there to fuck around 
and find out. 

364
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,320
I don't know, man. 
A whole lot of stuff was going 

365
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,000
on here. 
We're getting into like the late

366
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,840
stage MCU problem of like very, 
very. 

367
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,360
Quickly, I was like, you know 
what? 

368
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,480
Whatever, I'm just going to. 
Sit back and not think too much.

369
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:09,080
It's hard because this is only I
think the 6th movie which like, 

370
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,120
OK, 6th movie in a well, 
technically 7th if you include 

371
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:15,680
the original whatever. 
But like, I just brought up, 

372
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,320
like, the late stage MCU problem
of like, hope you watched a 

373
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,760
bunch of other things in order 
to be ready for this one. 

374
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:28,280
But that had not been a problem 
for any of this stretch of 

375
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,360
movies until the last movie. 
And I feel like we've hit that 

376
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,520
same wall again here where it's 
like we're really just gonna 

377
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,120
assume you know a bunch of shit 
and we're not gonna bring you 

378
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:41,920
the homework. 
And I do think the movie suffers

379
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,160
for it. 
Like, I really like that you 

380
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,120
could pick up Godzilla versus 
Mothra and that could be the 

381
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:48,440
only one you watched. 
And there's no part of it where 

382
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,760
you felt like you were left out 
of information. 

383
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,280
So, yeah, psychic kids, Mickey 
Sagusa. 

384
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,000
Monkey ears. 
Let's go. 

385
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Let's go. 
So yeah, she senses Mothra 

386
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,600
heading towards Earth, and 
Mothra is leading, leaving a 

387
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,160
trail of like smaller Mothras. 
And I'm going to be honest, they

388
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,320
don't really get into that. 
No, that's new for us too. 

389
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:23,880
Yeah, but then we go to some 
some UNGCC soldiers named Koji 

390
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,160
and Kiyo. 
And they land on on an island 

391
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,080
after the explosions go off from
from earlier, and there's a 

392
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,960
massive crater surrounded by 
crystal, and they're met with 

393
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,720
Major Yuki, who immediately 
saves them from like a venomous 

394
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,760
spider that they didn't notice 
on them. 

395
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,720
And then we meet little 
Godzilla, which is what I I read

396
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,120
that it was called as opposed to
to Minira or something. 

397
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,200
Yeah, they're they're leaving 
the name Minia, Mini RA, Minila,

398
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,480
whatever behind. 
But this is clearly like the 

399
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,200
attempt to make and. 
And for what it's worth, I think

400
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,920
way more successful at making a 
cute little Godzilla then. 

401
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,320
Yeah. 
No, I don't hate this one at 

402
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,480
all. 
You don't. 

403
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,080
You don't immediately want to 
stab him. 

404
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,440
Finn, you missed out on the 
horror that is the original Son 

405
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,080
of Godzilla. 
Let me find a picture I can 

406
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,680
throw in the chat for you. 
But it's I'm OK. 

407
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,760
Are you sure? 
No, just do it. 

408
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,400
Why not? 
I think. 

409
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,840
I think, I think that you 
deserve to understand what we're

410
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,880
dealing with. 
Here gonna say you deserve to 

411
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,680
suffer. 
Well, also that. 

412
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,600
But let's see. 
We put this in the chat. 

413
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,000
Where the fuck did that photo go
while Derek is here? 

414
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,040
It is. 
Here it is. 

415
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:52,960
Charlie. 
Keep going. 

416
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Ta da. 
There he is in the chat. 

417
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,360
Oh my. 
God, why? 

418
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,680
OK, why does it look like, why 
does it look like the teenage 

419
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,400
version of the baby dinosaur 
from the 90s sitcom dinosaur? 

420
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,360
It looks like he's just about to
hit someone on the bunk, someone

421
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,560
on the head with a frying pan 
and say not the Mama. 

422
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,640
Yeah, not my real dad, I keep 
saying. 

423
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,160
I keep saying he looks like a 
Cokehead Pillsbury Doughboy. 

424
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,400
It's pretty bad. 
So. 

425
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,000
So by comparison, little 
Godzilla in this movie is a is a

426
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,920
massive success. 
Yeah, yeah, and little 

427
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,960
Godzilla's also friends with the
Major and walk and walks up and 

428
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,960
like greets the Major. 
There are Oomphies, But then an 

429
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,240
emergency meeting is called 
because NASA's missing a 

430
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,600
spaceship. 
And they don't know why they're 

431
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,640
missing a spaceship, but they 
just go, you know what? 

432
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,080
It was probably a huge monster, 
to be fair. 

433
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,440
At this point in time, that's a 
reasonable assumption to make. 

434
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Right, So I wrote the Shobi Gin.
They're called the Cosmos now, I

435
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,240
think. 
Yes, appeared to Miki and 

436
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,720
explained to her that this 
monster has appeared because it 

437
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,280
wants to destroy Earth. 
But that's not the concern of, 

438
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,040
like, the soldiers. 
Right now, because the soldier 

439
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,200
boys are are going around 
digging holes to place 

440
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,160
explosives for Godzilla. 
Oh, the soldier boys are in 

441
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,120
this. 
Yeah, little soldier boys. 

442
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,920
Sorry, I I was stopped. 
I was somewhere. 

443
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,960
I'm real fast. 
So Major wants to use like a 

444
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,760
blood coagulator to hit Godzilla
in a major organ and kill it. 

445
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,760
Because Godzilla's like the 
white whale to this guy, like. 

446
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,000
He wants nothing more than to 
kill Godzilla. 

447
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,480
To be fair, Godzilla has killed 
countless people in this 

448
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,560
timeline. 
So. 

449
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,280
Sure. 
Well, on every time, really. 

450
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,400
Yeah. 
Although, like as they kind of, 

451
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,600
I think they've brought up by 
now already, but we'll reinforce

452
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,720
later. 
Since the appearance of the 

453
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,640
little Godzilla in the last 
movie, like Godzilla's mostly 

454
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,680
been chilling on this island, 
Godzilla's been a lot less 

455
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,960
active. 
So, like, you probably just 

456
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,200
leave him alone. 
Not gonna, but you could. 

457
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Yeah, the soldiers think that 
they're there to, or they state 

458
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,160
rather that they're there to 
work on the T project. 

459
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,120
You know, the thing to control 
Godzilla. 

460
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,680
But the majors, like, I don't 
really want to do that. 

461
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,280
I just want to kill it? 
I asked the Tyrant project. 

462
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,880
We're going to harvest. 
I'm trying to remember exactly 

463
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,080
what it was. 
It was like hormonal fluid from 

464
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,520
teenagers. 
That's how they meet the T 

465
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,120
virus. 
I thought it was from a flower 

466
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,760
Resident Evil. 
Lore's weird. 

467
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,920
No, that's that's like oroboros 
or something. 

468
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,840
God. 
The the original there was like,

469
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,400
I repeat myself, Resident Evil 
lore is weird. 

470
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,840
In the original, it was 
something that that people only 

471
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,720
made during puberty. 
Anyway, space Godzilla's rapidly

472
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800
approaching her. 
It's Etrina Chrome. 

473
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,640
Jesus, Q was right. 
Leave it at a hold. 

474
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Of your Get a hold of your life,
dude. 

475
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,480
The crystals are like undulating
right now, by the way. 

476
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,080
I don't like that as a verb. 
I wish you would set a 

477
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:23,040
different. 
Verb Oh, undulate. 

478
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:27,480
Yeah, they had to undulate 
because they were so moist. 

479
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,520
They were not moist at all, 
because they were. 

480
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Undulating. 
So good I'm in hell. 

481
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,480
So Miki and and the others that 
are in charge of the tea project

482
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,520
show up, they arrive at the 
island, and they had this one 

483
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:47,840
conversation. 
They're like, why are you so 

484
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,760
fond of Godzilla? 
I mean, you know, Godzilla's 

485
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,440
people too. 
It's like I've been in six 

486
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,160
movies so far. 
I've got to be 5. 

487
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,960
She wasn't in Return of Godzilla
anyway. 

488
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,800
Five. 
So they launched Mogara Derek. 

489
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,960
Don't look in chat. 
And Miki meets with little 

490
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:12,120
Godzilla, who tries to play. 
And then Major Yuki says, like, 

491
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,880
I think probably the hardest 
line in the whole movie, because

492
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,280
someone's like, why don't you 
just give up hunting Godzilla 

493
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,520
and Major Yuki's like, it's 
man's burden. 

494
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,280
You can only keep on living if 
you have something you can't 

495
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,480
give up on. 
This was a sick ass line. 

496
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,960
I mean, it was basically the 
Griffith speech. 

497
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,840
This was this was like moments 
that go hard for sure. 

498
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,600
Yeah, so the mines start going 
off, but it's little Godzilla 

499
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,320
setting off the mines. 
Well, if he's just bouncing 

500
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,960
around on top of the tear gas 
mines as they go off and this, 

501
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:53,560
like, pink smoke is everywhere. 
And he's just like like. 

502
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,920
Right. 
And it's like, that's not going 

503
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,520
to hurt Godzilla. 
Like, you've basically managed 

504
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,840
to kind of spook and startle the
little Godzilla. 

505
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,960
I don't think you're going to do
much to the big guy. 

506
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:09,680
Right, so they decided to launch
the the T Project, and while 

507
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,760
they're cleaning up the mess 
left behind by the mines, 

508
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:17,480
Godzilla arrives and the soldier
boys are instructed to approach 

509
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320
Godzilla and deliver the 
transmitter by launching it into

510
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,080
Godzilla, shooting it into its 
neck. 

511
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,760
But at the same time, the Major 
is of course readying his his 

512
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,600
blood coagulator while the boys 
are trying to line up their shot

513
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,720
with the transmitter. 
But they do manage to get the 

514
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:39,040
transmitter into its neck. 
And so they they activate the T 

515
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,680
project and Miki takes control 
of Godzilla and likes walks down

516
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,480
a beach. 
But I also played super 

517
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,240
Godzilla. 
Right. 

518
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,160
The Major's not ready to give 
up. 

519
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,440
My voice just cracked so bad 
keeping it in. 

520
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,440
Fine. 
You know, if I was in Resident 

521
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,800
Evil, they could technically 
harvest the T virus from me. 

522
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,080
The Major isn't ready to give up
and like, starts running 

523
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,720
alongside Godzilla down this 
beach, right? 

524
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,160
And meanwhile, Mogara is flying 
into space towards space 

525
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,520
Godzilla to try to head it off. 
Mogara's systems start to 

526
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,120
scramble. 
And they trade like laser 

527
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,840
attacks, but they get swiped and
they careen out into space and 

528
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,040
space. 
Godzilla just kind of keeps 

529
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:33,680
going Space. 
Godzilla's like flying form is 

530
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,760
incredibly goofy. 
It's just a big balloon. 

531
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,080
He's just, he's just a hedgehog.
Yeah, he's just crystal 

532
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,240
hedgehog. 
Where do the legs go? 

533
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,400
They're not tucked in anywhere. 
I think that I thought they just

534
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,200
like became crystals. 
Why can't he only morph between 

535
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,960
these two forms? 
I don't know. 

536
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,400
I don't know if I was him I 
would make like a cool like 

537
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,960
space gym sword or something. 
Yeah there's not. 

538
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:03,760
There's yeah it's it's just it's
a very silly and it's kind of a 

539
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,240
little cheap this sequence. 
Oh, also, I think the sequence 

540
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,560
in space is the first time in 
the Hey Say series I saw a wire,

541
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:19,160
so they missed 1 editing it out,
which is just a just worth 

542
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,600
noting that you know, whether 
it's a budget thing or a time 

543
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,520
thing, they missed a wire 
holding up one of the toys. 

544
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,000
Oh, well, that's very unlike 
them. 

545
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:31,680
It is. 
It is. 

546
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,400
They're usually really good 
about that stuff, and I, but I 

547
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,760
keep a pretty clear eye for that
sort of thing, 'cause usually 

548
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,000
like. 
Derek is looking for your 

549
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:38,800
mistakes. 
Yes. 

550
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,080
Well, look, the production work 
on these movies has been so good

551
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,440
so far that like, it is kind of 
worth looking for where they 

552
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,360
dropped the ball. 
Yeah. 

553
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,880
No, you're right. 
So Mickey's mind control helmet 

554
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,400
backfires. 
Godzilla's released the the boys

555
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
are really, really excited to 
fight Godzilla and make a name 

556
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,760
for themselves. 
Major's like sneaking up behind 

557
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,960
it and around this time Space 
Godzilla shows up to the island 

558
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,720
'cause it's not time for for 
Major's final final battle with 

559
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,360
Godzilla yet, no? 
Little Godzilla approaches, but 

560
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,480
quickly tries to flee and Space 
Godzilla like. 

561
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,720
Threatens little Godzilla's life
to goad Godzilla Gohan is Gohan 

562
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,680
accidentally approaches Raddatz 
and. 

563
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:33,240
Yeah, exactly. 
Godzilla like walks up, starts 

564
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,200
blasting space. 
Godzilla continues to use little

565
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,000
Godzilla like as a liability. 
But little Godzilla manages to 

566
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,080
to scramble the Godzilla's side 
and space Godzilla starts flying

567
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,400
around. 
Using its little crystal balloon

568
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,000
form and shoots both of them 
below. 

569
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,680
And Godzilla just kind of falls 
over. 

570
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,840
Yeah, that was kind of Godzilla.
Fucking chumps this fight. 

571
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,200
Like he like, he definitely, he 
just gets tips like a cow. 

572
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,080
Yeah. 
Yeah, the the booking was not 

573
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,840
good here. 
Yeah, little Godzilla ends up 

574
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,639
getting taken away by space, 
Godzilla's tractor beam and 

575
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:18,199
encased in crystal. 
And then all the humans are 

576
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:22,480
like, we should go, so they go, 
they just leave. 

577
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:29,159
Yeah, the the T Project folks 
deem the attempt of failure and 

578
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:30,320
they're like, we we're gonna 
leave. 

579
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,679
But Miki's like, I kind of want 
to stay with Godzilla, you know,

580
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:37,159
I kind of like Godzilla. 
And Kyo and Koji are like, we'll

581
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,320
stay behind and protect Miki, 
'cause, you know, you gotta do 

582
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:45,360
what you gotta do. 
They collect some Space Godzilla

583
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,520
cells from Moghera. 
And it's determined that the 

584
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,960
cells are are like basically 
identical to Godzilla's. 

585
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,480
And they theorize that a 
Godzilla cell from Biolante or 

586
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,920
Mothra went through a black 
hole, merged with crystals, and 

587
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,600
then turned into space. 
Godzilla and came back to Earth.

588
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:10,720
Genuinely insane theories. 
Although, although given those 

589
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:15,320
two options, I do look at the 
the extra little little 

590
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,440
horizontal teethy things on 
space, Godzilla in the corners 

591
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,040
of his mouth and I go Violante. 
It's gotta be Violante. 

592
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,040
But once again, like, did you do
your homework for this movie? 

593
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,520
We fucking hope so. 
Right. 

594
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,680
Because they just mentioned 
those things. 

595
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:33,960
They don't really explain what 
they are. 

596
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,840
Yeah, there's not a lot of 
context for like, what is a 

597
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,840
violante and why did it go into 
space? 

598
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,560
Why the fuck is Mothra in space?
Why does Mothra have Godzilla 

599
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,080
cells on it? 
Like, you know. 

600
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,920
Right, so they resolved to power
up MO Guerra to fight again, and

601
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,760
Major Yuki is asked to to 
commandeer MO Guerra for the 

602
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,320
coming battle. 
Miki's sitting on on the island 

603
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,560
and receives a message from the 
cosmos. 

604
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,560
That's just like, you know, if 
everybody worked together, I 

605
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,680
think there wouldn't be an issue
here. 

606
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:09,000
And they're right. 
Mothra is always Mothra. 

607
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:13,000
The Mothra Party is correct, but
overly optimistic. 

608
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,000
Right. 
Because then they go into the 

609
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,920
fact that, like, some people 
only think about fighting, 

610
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:19,920
right? 
Right. 

611
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,840
That's just like their whole 
mindset, like the Major and also

612
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,320
space Godzilla. 
Right. 

613
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:30,600
So the boys get beat up in their
tent. 

614
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,800
Miki gets kidnapped. 
But the boys and major tracker 

615
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,920
to to the headquarters of this 
organized crime syndicate which 

616
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,360
is like the Akos I mentioned 
earlier. 

617
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,080
And it was one of the men in 
charge of the tea project that 

618
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,920
took her because he wants to 
like, make a like scan her brain

619
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,080
in and then use that model to 
control Godzilla using his 

620
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,480
brain. 1994 computers are very 
capable of this. 

621
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,000
Yeah, of course. 
But he wants to use Godzilla to 

622
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,680
destroy everything. 
Because reasons. 

623
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,240
This is like a really underbaked
side plot to me. 

624
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,280
It is. 
Yeah, it doesn't. 

625
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,520
This could have just not 
happened. 

626
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,240
Yeah, like there's there's kind 
of no, I mean, I'll agree with 

627
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,000
you, this happened. 
I'm like, why? 

628
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,440
Yeah, I honestly everything to 
do with the telepathy subplot 

629
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:27,480
and the T Project feels grafted 
on almost just as a reason to 

630
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,640
have Mickey Sagusa in the movie,
right? 

631
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,840
Yeah, I could see that because 
it doesn't really play anything 

632
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,120
into Mogara or Space Godzilla. 
So like a lot of these, here's 

633
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,600
the, here's the the secret, 
right, a lot of these movies is,

634
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,960
is it's a lot like writing a 
good sitcom episode. 

635
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,400
You have an A plot and AB plot, 
right? 

636
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,600
And then you find out how these 
two things either mirror each 

637
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,520
other or converge at the end to 
impact each other. 

638
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,200
That is, that is always how like
the good Godzilla movies have 

639
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,040
worked. 
It is a rule for good sitcom 

640
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,840
episodes. 
Those are the two things that I 

641
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:10,520
know, Godzilla and Sitcoms. 
And this has like an A plot, B 

642
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:17,120
plot, C plot D plot already 
because we have space Godzilla 

643
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,960
thing that came from space to 
kill Godzilla and maybe take 

644
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,480
over the earth or destroy it 
question mark. 

645
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,960
We have Mogara which was built 
maybe to fight Godzilla I guess,

646
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,840
even though it never does that 
out of the wreckage of 

647
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,320
Mechagodzilla. 
Never really a good reason for 

648
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,680
why they have Mogara other than 
that, and they never try to use 

649
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,320
it for that purpose. 
You have the C plot with the 

650
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:51,280
like telepathy project to can 
mine control Godzilla, which at 

651
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,000
least could have been a good 
mirror if like Space, Godzilla 

652
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,600
was psychic in the way that it 
mine controls things. 

653
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,680
But that's not the case, and 
controlling Godzilla seems 

654
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,000
counterintuitive if Mogar is 
supposed to kill it. 

655
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,880
So none of that. 
And of course this doesn't go 

656
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,680
anywhere, like the the 
technology behind the 

657
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,360
telekinesis or the telepathic 
project never like becomes 

658
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,080
important for fighting space 
Godzilla or powering up Mogara 

659
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,480
or anything like that. 
And then you have just the Major

660
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,720
who wants to kill Godzilla with 
his blood coagulant and and 

661
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:29,440
again goes nowhere like and is 
not connected to anything else. 

662
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,240
So it's it's very overstuffed 
with ideas that are not really 

663
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,000
cohesive together. 
Right. 

664
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:41,320
It's kind of weird, yeah. 
Fun ideas, just not puzzle 

665
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,480
pieces that snap together for 
this movie. 

666
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:46,240
Right. 
Also, it's a little weird that 

667
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:49,040
space Godzilla's attack is 
called the corona beam. 

668
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,240
I thought they were going with 
COVID-19 beam. 

669
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,440
It's about it's about 25 years 
too early. 

670
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,080
Oh, in that case, corona light 
beam. 

671
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:09,920
God, I like a Corona. 
The beer, not the virus. 

672
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:13,840
Right. 
Space Godzilla comes with a 

673
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,120
lime. 
Those are actually salt crystals

674
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,720
on him. 
There we go. 

675
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:23,440
We're pulling it together. 
OK, so here they act. 

676
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,320
Tequila Gundam. 
We've made it go full. 

677
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,200
We've gone full circle. 
They activate the tea project, 

678
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,480
and it does seem like it's 
working space. 

679
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,880
Godzilla arrives and like fries 
all the electronics in the city,

680
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,360
including the tea project 
machines, making this entire 

681
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,720
side thing moot. 
The city evacuates and the boys 

682
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:51,520
arrived to save Miki, who uses 
her telekinesis to help them 

683
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,640
save her. 
Basically, And Miki's like, hey,

684
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,320
space, Godzilla's on the way. 
She does lift a bed. 

685
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,360
She does lift the she lifts the 
sideways like Gurney that that. 

686
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:03,960
Yeah. 
Impressive work. 

687
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,480
Yeah, we. 
I didn't think she was 

688
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,840
telekinetic. 
Up to this point, she has only 

689
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,120
ever been the telepathic kind of
psychic, but I guess she's 

690
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:18,040
literally just Charles Xavier. 
Yeah, I think so. 

691
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,560
Yeah. 
So they flee and the equipment 

692
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,800
explodes. 
And now? 

693
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,800
Mogira's prepped for lunch, but 
they have to find the major 

694
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,800
because just like last movie, I 
think several times in this 

695
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,520
series so far, the the person 
who's supposed to pilot a 

696
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,560
machine is not there. 
Not a lot of people showing up 

697
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,680
for work, man. 
Nobody wants to work these days.

698
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,240
That's right. 
Everyone wants to make a living 

699
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:51,560
wage, right? 
I don't like supply and demand 

700
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,520
in economics when it does not go
my way. 

701
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,680
No, it's the invisible hand. 
My hand, Yeah. 

702
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,080
He eventually arrives. 
Moghera launches. 

703
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,360
He gets to pick his crew, so he 
picks the boys, obviously. 

704
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,040
Right. 
How could you not pick the boys?

705
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:13,040
Right, Space Godzilla lands in 
in Fukuoka and the city starts 

706
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,120
turning into crystals because 
basically space Godzilla can 

707
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,520
like, terraform the area to 
absorb power from these 

708
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,360
crystals. 
Yeah, it's like he seeds the 

709
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,240
crystals and then the crystals 
bro. 

710
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,480
And then the crystals become 
like power conduits. 

711
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,360
Sort of. 
Right. 

712
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,600
Wireless charging. 
Tesla was right all along. 

713
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,960
That's right, Godzilla arrives 
and they start heading towards 

714
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,600
each other. 
Mogara reaches Godzilla and 

715
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,960
Major Yuki's like, OK now I'm 
going to kill Godzilla, but Koji

716
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,520
and Kiyo knock Yuki out, take 
over Mogara and like, turned it 

717
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,360
around and go to space Godzilla.
And then they use an attack 

718
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,240
called the spiral grenade 
missile, which is neither a 

719
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:00,080
spiral nor a grenade. 
Those are rockets. 

720
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:08,440
To missile yeah, it hits. 
I mean, it does hit him, but you

721
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,840
know, don't do much, but it it 
it is a cool attack. 

722
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,000
Yeah, Mogara got lots of cool 
little attacks. 

723
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:18,320
True. 
Godzilla's like, pissed now. 

724
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,280
Like charging through buildings,
you know. 

725
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,520
Mogara and Space Godzilla like 
physically clash, but Mogara is 

726
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,640
like immediately overpowered by 
a blast and has a struggle to 

727
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,520
come back online. 
But they do manage to fly away 

728
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:39,120
just as Godzilla shows up. 
Godzilla and Space Godzilla 

729
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,280
fight, and there's like some 
telekinesis happening and 

730
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,600
they're just kind of floating 
around. 

731
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,080
Sure, there's like crystal 
pillars flying. 

732
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:50,520
Godzilla fire some energy 
blasts. 

733
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,840
But space Godzilla can can 
deflect Godzilla's atomic breath

734
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,320
using like a crystal shield that
it kind of makes around. 

735
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,520
It's like really transparent. 
It's an AT field. 

736
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,920
Basically, yeah, We are still 
several years before Evangelion.

737
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,160
And yet, I do feel a lot of 
Evangelion in this movie 

738
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:13,320
because. 
I do too, because ano, the 

739
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:19,320
criminal invented nothing. 
Shin Godzilla's going to be an 

740
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,040
episode Mickey. 
Mickey Sagusa. 

741
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,080
Fucking pilot Godzilla. 
Or we'll make the kids do it 

742
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,160
again. 
Literally the plot of the 

743
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,880
beginning of this movie. 
If in case, we've already. 

744
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,680
Forgotten. 
Did you know that? 

745
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,840
I had a conversation with people
recently because somebody 

746
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,560
watched that again and that 
line, that line specifically is 

747
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,720
not in the dub of the sub. 
No, it's it's it's a horribly 

748
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:44,880
truncated version from our 
memory that made it that we can 

749
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,920
popular on like image macros, 
but that is not how it's, that 

750
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,320
is not even close to how it's 
worded at any point. 

751
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,360
No. 
So right, They're fighting 

752
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,840
space. 
Godzilla's deflecting atomic 

753
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,520
breath. 
Godzilla goes, OK, it's clearly 

754
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,760
these crystals that are giving 
space Godzilla power. 

755
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,880
So he he starts attacking the 
crystals, which is I think like 

756
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,320
the second or third time 
Godzilla has done more than like

757
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,160
try to wrestle things to the 
ground he plans sometimes. 

758
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,480
Usually when you can't wrestle, 
wrestling comes first. 

759
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:23,800
It's plan A. 
So the Major prepares to to 

760
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,520
pilot the star Falcon, which is 
like the top half. 

761
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:32,360
The * Falcon is a legitimately 
great fucking name that rules so

762
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,040
much. 
If you tell me you've got 

763
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,040
anything, a car, a plane, a 
robot, and it's called the 

764
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:45,160
fucking * Falcon, I'm there. 
Honestly, Yeah. 

765
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,000
You can contribute at any time. 
I did just now is. 

766
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,480
Great did did. 
I said big mood. 

767
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,080
Yeah, I don't know if you were 
there. 

768
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,240
I I said. 
The energy on this one was going

769
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:06,400
to be a weird one. 
So let's keep going. 

770
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,920
The Star Falcon and the ground 
unit. 

771
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,200
And the ground unit can travel 
underground, which is, you know,

772
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,120
more of a call back to the 
original Moghera. 

773
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,680
And it it even goes underground 
to attack a tower, which is what

774
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,280
the original Moghera did. 
But it's the tower that space 

775
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,160
Godzilla's getting energy from, 
and Yuki in the * Falcon 

776
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:34,880
harasses space Godzilla as they 
advance, they keep them safe and

777
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,480
he ends up working with Godzilla
to take down the tower. 

778
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,720
And then they recombine Moghera,
so he had to work with his 

779
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:45,720
little white whale. 
Space Godzilla is now stuck like

780
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:49,640
between Mogara and Godzilla, and
Mogara starts firing like a full

781
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,600
volley. 
From one side, Godzilla's using 

782
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,800
atomic breath. 
On the other side, they use 

783
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,760
another spiral grenade missile, 
and this time they shatter one 

784
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,400
of the crystals on Space. 
Godzilla's back. 

785
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,600
Horrible, horrible image when 
that giant shoulder crystal 

786
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,120
explodes and there's just meat 
under there. 

787
00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:12,960
No, I don't like that. 
Yeah, I'm reminded that these 

788
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,200
movies can get gross and violent
sometimes when they want to be, 

789
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,920
and it looks horrid. 
Yeah, it's something. 

790
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,960
They fire lasers and they hit 
Godzilla more than anything as 

791
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,680
as as it falls over and they 
managed to destroy the other 

792
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,960
crystal before getting grabbed 
by by space Godzilla's tail and 

793
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,600
tossed aside. 
The Major leaves Mulgara to try 

794
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,720
to hunt Godzilla again. 
Because that's the thing you 

795
00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:42,160
should be doing right now. 
Yeah, yeah. 

796
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,560
Get out of the giant robot 
designed to fight giant monsters

797
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,840
and chase him on foot. 
Right. 

798
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,760
But he he's just like, I have to
kill Godzilla before Space 

799
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,800
Godzilla kills. 
OK, that's not how this fight's 

800
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,440
going, bud, But. 
Right. 

801
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,160
Godzilla's like full of energy 
from all the recent attacks on 

802
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,560
it. 
So it So it gets back up the the

803
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,320
major Rams Moghera. 
Into Space Godzilla. 

804
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,880
And then they like, they crash 
into a building and Godzilla and

805
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,840
Space Godzilla continued their 
fight. 

806
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,240
Space Godzilla's absorbing 
energy from Godzilla, and now 

807
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:20,400
the concern is that it'll 
explode. 

808
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,520
So they're like, we got to get 
people out of here, 'cause 

809
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,680
that's going to blow. 
And Godzilla starts using like 

810
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,280
red atomic breath. 
Yeah brings back the the spiral 

811
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,920
ray that he's briefly against 
Mechagodzilla at the end of the 

812
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,200
last movie. 
A thing that they did not 

813
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,760
attempt to recontextualize here.
Right. 

814
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,640
Like not. 
Hey remember how how this 

815
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,920
happened like after a power up 
like no, it's just hey, Godzilla

816
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,840
did a red beam this time. 
It also doesn't look any more 

817
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,440
impressive. 
You think at this point you you 

818
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,960
should like we've joked that 
this is the DBZ one, right? 

819
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,920
But like, I feel like Godzilla 
should have to charge that thing

820
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,560
up and it should be, like, more 
impactful than. 

821
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,880
I was waiting for a beam 
struggle, right. 

822
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,200
Oh my God, they they did that 
last movie. 

823
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,760
How are you going to not have 
two Godzilla's do a beam like 

824
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:15,760
clash against each other? 
Yeah, missed opportunity. 

825
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,760
Yeah, it could be the blue, you 
know, the Godzilla's regular 

826
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,640
breath, and then the corona beam
meeting in the middle, 

827
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:24,760
struggling. 
And then Godzilla fucking powers

828
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,480
it up into the spiral beam. 
And then that's what overpowers 

829
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,400
it. 
Like, you know, Well, I'm 

830
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,440
writing this movie for them. 
Right. 

831
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,080
You could have done. 
You would have done it better. 

832
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,960
I would have. 
In fact, I will. 

833
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,200
In an extremely rare moment when
we're done with the Plot 

834
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,640
Summary, I will say exactly what
this movie needed to fucking do.

835
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,960
But. 
OK, but when we're done, so 

836
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,720
Godzilla's the the last one 
standing, all the humans get 

837
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:48,720
together. 
Relieved. 

838
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:51,560
Major Yuki finally is like, you 
know what? 

839
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:56,560
Maybe I won't kill Godzilla. 
Nikki removes the transmitter 

840
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,280
from Godzilla's neck and 
Godzilla like looks back at her 

841
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,040
and actually looks pretty 
appreciative. 

842
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,360
Kind of gives like a like a bro 
nod. 

843
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,720
Yeah, yeah, the cosmos are happy
and they thank her. 

844
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,040
And then they're like, we should
stop polluting the earth. 

845
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,840
And also men. 
Have to fight each other, to 

846
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,960
understand each other or 
whatever, and then Godzilla 

847
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,680
walks into the sea. 
Don't police, don't space. 

848
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,760
They're going to make this 
fucking anime called Planetus in

849
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,320
a large number of years and it's
going to be so good. 

850
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,280
Y'all. 
Yeah, I don't think space 

851
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,520
pollution is why we have space, 
Godzilla. 

852
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:34,960
Because I don't. 
I don't. 

853
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,640
It's black holes in crystals. 
Nope. 

854
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,200
Space. 
They were like, hey, these 

855
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,560
movies are supposed to have 
meanings. 

856
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,240
Let's throw something in. 
In the final act. 

857
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,640
Not even the final like 30 
seconds of the movie. 

858
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,240
Throw the end title card. 
Bam. 

859
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:52,880
Done Space. 
Pollution. 

860
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,600
Watch Planetus. 
Don't don't know what else to 

861
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,240
say, but watch Planetus all. 
Right. 

862
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:05,120
Keep going. 
So here's the thing. 

863
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,480
Like I said before, like the 
problem is we've got like 4 

864
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:15,040
different major plot lines that 
get varying amounts of 

865
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,800
attention, but also broadly do 
not intersect, right. 

866
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,600
You can say that Mogara and 
Spacegodzilla intersect in that 

867
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,520
they are both part of the final 
battle, but like there's never 

868
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,960
any larger point to Mogara, 
right? 

869
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,800
Here's here's what I think. 
I think that this part of the 

870
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,520
problem is that this is a a much
less experienced writer, right? 

871
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,800
This is not the guy who's been 
writing most of these, hey say 

872
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,880
era movies. 
You know, this is somebody who 

873
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,200
will write some better or later 
movies, but like at this point 

874
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:57,920
we can, we can assume is much 
less experienced. 

875
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,520
No, I'm going to leave that in 
for sure. 

876
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,480
But I think what needed to 
happen, I think you got to cut 

877
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,320
the telepathy stuff out 
entirely. 

878
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,520
I think what you've got to do is
you've got to, you've got to 

879
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:16,840
save space Godzilla for the 
second-half of the movie, right?

880
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,680
I think you need a, you need an 
opening chunk of the movie where

881
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,600
they are building Mogara out of 
the ruins of Mechagodzilla. 

882
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,440
One movie ago, the the fucking 
world government was building 

883
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,800
Mechagodzilla to kill Godzilla, 
right? 

884
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,120
Like, right, The idea. 
Like, surely that's what Mogara 

885
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,240
is there for. 
But they don't really lean into 

886
00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:39,720
that. 
The movie should start being 

887
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:42,200
about, OK, we've built Mogara, 
we're picking up where 

888
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:46,080
Mechagodzilla left off, right? 
Which also allows you to better 

889
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,720
contextualize, you know, some 
background for why we have a 

890
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:52,640
giant robot, right? 
Hey, we've tried to kill 

891
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,360
Godzilla with Mechagodzilla. 
It's not working. 

892
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,240
We have this thing we've built 
out of the wreckage. 

893
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,920
You know we can it can split in 
two. 

894
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,760
It has some new specialized 
weapons, like we're going to 

895
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,840
figure this thing out, right? 
Goes after Godzilla, Godzilla 

896
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,680
and Mogara fight Mogara, maybe 
threatens Baby Godzilla like 

897
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,000
space Godzilla does. 
Gets ass beat down by Godzilla 

898
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,200
because you don't touch the 
baby. 

899
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,480
Right. 
So what we've done now so far is

900
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,760
we've contextualized why Mogara 
is actually there. 

901
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,880
And we can you can even still 
have like the major like having 

902
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,240
a grudge against Godzilla. 
Like why does he need to be like

903
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,040
he has a he can have a robot 
instead of blood coagulant. 

904
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,160
You know, you don't need the 
blood coagulant to have that 

905
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,960
character with that grudge. 
He lost somebody in the last 

906
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,280
movie, right? 
Like, you know, who died in the 

907
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:49,080
attack on Kyoto. 
So now what you have is this 

908
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,640
idea of like, OK, you know, we 
are setting up that we have 

909
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,640
attacked Godzilla over and over 
and over again, right through 

910
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,400
the movies. 
And this repeated plan of it's 

911
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,720
our job to kill Godzilla is not 
working. 

912
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,360
And it's especially, like, less 
justifiable now that Godzilla's 

913
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,200
spending more time on the island
with the baby, right? 

914
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,480
So it actually puts us in a 
worse position than the previous

915
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:17,000
attempt where it's like, OK, you
know, we've rebuilt 

916
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,400
Mechagodzilla into Mogara. 
We're trying again, but we don't

917
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,560
need to. 
Now this is purely about a 

918
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,800
grudge, rather than trying to, 
like, stop Godzilla from causing

919
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,040
more damage. 
Then Space Godzilla shows up, 

920
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,520
right? 
And then Mogara, like, gets 

921
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,480
wrecked by Space Godzilla as 
well. 

922
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,640
And then it takes Godzilla to 
fight off Space Godzilla. 

923
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,120
And then your message in the end
is like, OK, we've got to learn 

924
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,800
to live with this guy. 
Because nothing we build, 

925
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,360
nothing we make you know, can 
match it. 

926
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:49,240
But also, you know, Godzilla's 
our best chance against external

927
00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:51,440
threats. 
Like, it's still not a deep and 

928
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:56,960
meaningful plot, but it is at 
least a coherent A&B melding 

929
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,640
together into something. 
And a lot of the pieces are 

930
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,840
there. 
But this just feels like an 

931
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,720
amateur scriptwriter's attempt 
to throw in all the cool ideas 

932
00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:10,480
he had, right? 
So I know, I never, ever, ever 

933
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,000
do like, you know, and this is 
off the top of my head right 

934
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,760
now, right? 
But like, I never do fan rewrite

935
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,200
stuff. 
Like, I think that's usually 

936
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,640
pretty obnoxious, but we were 
like a pass or two away from 

937
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,800
this potentially being really 
great. 

938
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:29,320
And to be clear, like, it's 
still a big, fun, flashy movie. 

939
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,800
It kind of rips when Space 
Godzilla impales Mogara with its

940
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,960
tail and like, flings it around,
you know? 

941
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:43,640
Yeah, yeah, you know Space 
Godzilla is at this point a cult

942
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:48,760
favorite Godzilla villain. 
And I get it because like Space,

943
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:53,200
Godzilla has a really cool 
design, but like, doesn't get a 

944
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,640
lot of opportunity to do much 
other than stand around 

945
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,560
menacingly and and spit fun 
curvy laser beams. 

946
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:05,280
Yeah, so you know, you you were 
DM ING me as you were watching 

947
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,040
the movie and you said that for 
you, Mogara was the highlight of

948
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,680
the movie. 
Yeah, it was. 

949
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:11,880
Because I think Mogara's really 
cool. 

950
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,240
It's a cool design. 
There's lots of cool like 

951
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:18,000
special effects stuff where 
parts open up and separate and 

952
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,240
transform and. 
I like when robots are made of 

953
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:26,120
other smaller things. 
So Voltron changed your brain 

954
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,200
chemistry for good back in the 
day. 

955
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,760
Yeah, I mean, for some now, when
I think about that, it's, it's 

956
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:33,600
Getter. 
Yeah. 

957
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,400
Getter Robo, right? 
Yeah, Yeah. 

958
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,120
Yeah, you were. 
I remember you were a Power 

959
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,640
Rangers kid, for sure. 
I was, yeah. 

960
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,200
Getter done. 
That's right, Finn. 

961
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:51,800
Man, this must have been a truly
confusing roller coaster ride 

962
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,640
coming from the position that 
you were in at the start of this

963
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,720
movie. 
Yeah, I think you could say 

964
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:01,160
that. 
What? 

965
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,600
Is there anything you could even
take away from this other than 

966
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,920
man, a lot of lights and colors 
sure did happen. 

967
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,320
No, and that's fine. 
You know, like, not everything 

968
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,920
has to have deep meaning. 
What it was enjoyable to watch, 

969
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,240
maybe enjoyable. 
It was entertaining to watch. 

970
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,960
Things happened and it was fun. 
This is definitely like the 90s 

971
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,200
Godzilla equivalent of just 
jingling keys in front of us for

972
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,880
an hour and 20 minutes. 
Yeah, you know what it is, what 

973
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:33,520
it is. 
Right? 

974
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:34,880
Like it's fine. 
It's fine. 

975
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,400
It's it's, it. 
I don't think it would ever be 

976
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,600
anybody's first recommendation 
to get someone into the Godzilla

977
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,920
version. 
Yeah, I just think it's so funny

978
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,360
because like, I picked this to 
bring you on because I obviously

979
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,680
like wanted to get all the SDGC 
folks on at one point and I was 

980
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,240
like, I know. 
Actually, no, that's that's not 

981
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,200
nepotism. 
We're not related. 

982
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,160
Yay, crony. 
Yeah, but I was like, I really 

983
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,120
want this one, 'cause I 
remembered that this is like, 

984
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,080
this is just like the Saiyan 
saga, right? 

985
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:08,080
This is this is just that. 
This is the most DBZA Godzilla 

986
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,520
movie gets. 
And I'm going to be real. 

987
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,360
It's because you called it that.
When you first told me about 

988
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,720
this movie that I kept expecting
like a bleep beam clash, I know 

989
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,680
I could swear there was one in 
this movie. 

990
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,640
How's your boy gonna say it's 
like Dragon Ball and then not? 

991
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,080
Give me. 
There's been so many beam 

992
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,240
clashes that I was, like, 
surprised there wasn't one in 

993
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,040
this, right? 
That should have been what 

994
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,360
happened. 
They should have done the beam 

995
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,560
clash. 
And then Godzilla like, charged 

996
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:34,120
it further into the spiral, 
right? 

997
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,200
And it would have been like, 
hike moment, you know? 

998
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,240
But yeah, it's it's, it's it's 
weird. 

999
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:46,480
And like, I can't talk about 
this until we get into the next 

1000
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,960
movie. 
But this movie kind of breaks up

1001
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:56,320
a little of the pacing of 
something that's to come in a 

1002
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:02,760
way that that like just slightly
redoing the the the Last Battle 

1003
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,320
to like have Godzilla like 
charge up more and like use more

1004
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,400
you know like do more. 
Godzilla doesn't do much in this

1005
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:16,560
movie, right. 
Like Godzilla kind of get falls 

1006
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,000
over in the first just gets he 
he basically. 

1007
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,440
Jobs the first like 3/4 of the 
movie until Megara comes in and 

1008
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,720
like saves the day. 
Yeah, and like Megara's got to 

1009
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,600
destroy the the tower so that 
space Godzilla's not getting any

1010
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,280
more energy. 
But like, Space Godzilla didn't 

1011
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,840
have that when they fought on 
the island. 

1012
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,680
So Godzilla should have been 
able to just like, fucking merk 

1013
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:43,400
him right there, you know? 
So yeah, I don't know. 

1014
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:47,120
But like, it is still. 
There's some, I mean the the 

1015
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,840
designs for MO Gara and Space 
Godzilla are really cool. 

1016
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,920
A lot of the special effects 
work and like the, you know, the

1017
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,840
special effects on like the 
corona beam and on MO Gara's 

1018
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:01,680
various weapons are sick. 
The soundtrack is, I mean, 

1019
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,160
again, like love, love, love. 
The musical space that this 

1020
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:10,560
movie takes place in, you know? 
It's it's cool. 

1021
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,080
It's just not. 
It's not much more than cool. 

1022
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:15,880
And I think I agree with you 
then. 

1023
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,480
Like, if I was going to convince
somebody to watch any Godzilla 

1024
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,240
movie to try to get them into 
it, this would probably be 

1025
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,680
really low on the list. 
Which means that I've probably 

1026
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,440
just blocked you off from ever 
watching another Godzilla movie 

1027
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,160
again. 
So I've actually been 

1028
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,640
counterproductive here. 
Nah, you're good. 

1029
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:43,400
I, me and Charlotte talked a lot
about our fears that that we 

1030
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,840
would eventually see the death 
of themes right in the showa 

1031
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,760
era. 
Like we knew that the the 60s 

1032
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,160
and 70s movies were eventually 
just going to become Big Lizard 

1033
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,480
wrestling matches. 
And they did. 

1034
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,880
Eventually they stopped being 
about things and started being, 

1035
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,600
you know, big Lizard. 
And we loved those. 

1036
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,360
We still loved them. 
Then the 80s came back so strong

1037
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,840
and we were like, holy shit, 
each one of these is hitting so 

1038
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:11,880
well, you know, But we knew it 
was coming. 

1039
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:16,520
And Godzilla versus 
Mechagodzilla Two was a major 

1040
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,720
drop in what we expected 
thematically from these movies 

1041
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,960
and was just a big blockbuster. 
And I feel like this kind of 

1042
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:28,720
doubled down on that. 
And, you know, it's hard not to 

1043
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,560
pretend to like, to pretend not 
to be a little down about that, 

1044
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,840
but there's still a lot I'm 
going to take away from this 

1045
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,040
movie in terms of like, 
memorable scenes, memorable 

1046
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,560
designs, things like that. 
So what? 

1047
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,920
What would you want out of a 
Godzilla movie, Finn, if I was 

1048
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:49,120
going to hand you before you 
watched this, what were you kind

1049
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,120
of hoping you were going to get?
I believe I've already been very

1050
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,480
clear about that. 
A Beam Clash, motherfucker. 

1051
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:57,720
No. 
Like like I would. 

1052
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,440
I'll tell you what I wasn't 
expecting was psychics and a 

1053
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,760
weird yakuza subplot that led 
nowhere and just padded at the 

1054
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:11,840
time. 
I just wanted Godzilla versus 

1055
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:18,120
space Godzilla and then with 
with humans that were initially 

1056
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,760
determined to fight Godzilla but
then progressionally teamed up 

1057
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,320
because enemy of my enemy is my 
friend. 

1058
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,360
And then, Oh no, now we're kind 
of friends and it's basically 

1059
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,320
Goku and Vegeta. 
Then yeah, I just double checked

1060
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,320
and this movie's 107 minutes. 
It's, it's it's it's an hour and

1061
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:40,080
47 minutes long and I don't 
believe that. 

1062
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,560
I I cannot think of an hour and 
47 minutes worth of things that 

1063
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:49,280
happened in this movie. 
I feel like you could recut this

1064
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:53,320
into like an 18 minute short 
film, right? 

1065
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,960
Like on YouTube. 
I don't give you the Topher 

1066
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:05,240
Grace cut. 
So, Charlotte, what? 

1067
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,400
You've been a little quiet since
we ended the Plot Summary. 

1068
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,680
What do you think really sticks 
with you out of this movie? 

1069
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,240
I've kind of made my like what 
my expectations were and where 

1070
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:21,120
my hopes were, but I just 
haven't heard so much out of. 

1071
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:26,960
You. 
I mean, that's Mulgarra was my 

1072
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,680
favorite part, you know? 
And that's weird because it's a 

1073
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,000
it's a movie that's supposed to 
be about Godzilla versus Space 

1074
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,360
Godzilla. 
I wish Space Godzilla was 

1075
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,360
better, Yeah. 
You know, I just wish it was 

1076
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:37,960
better. 
I wish it did something. 

1077
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,440
It's a really cool suit design 
and like the one thing he does 

1078
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,160
other than slightly move and let
special effects happen is the 

1079
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:50,280
tail impaling Mogara, which is a
cool shot, but it happens once. 

1080
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,160
Right. 
I don't know. 

1081
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,880
I would have done something 
crazier with Space Godzilla 

1082
01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:00,640
since it definitely looks like 
like make it something else at 

1083
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,120
1st and then make it like go out
into space and get. 

1084
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,880
Sells from Violante and then 
turn into that or something. 

1085
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,920
I don't know. 
Give it like multiple forms. 

1086
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,920
Yeah, it's it's got to be hard 
coming from like the PS2 

1087
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,560
fighting game, right? 
Or like other like Godzilla 

1088
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,280
games where space Godzilla 
fucking rules. 

1089
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,280
And then in this movie, he 
mostly stands menacingly. 

1090
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:24,960
Yeah, no. 
In the games you can like summon

1091
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,840
crystals and then like you have 
like an area that you're way 

1092
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,600
stronger in if you're near that 
crystal. 

1093
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,240
And then he just looks cool, 
Yeah. 

1094
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:38,120
You know, well, you know, we we 
knew this one was coming. 

1095
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:44,480
But I think, I think it's worth,
you know, rapping on like this 

1096
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:50,240
movie let me down some, but even
one of the worst times I've had 

1097
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:55,000
with a Godzilla movie has still 
mostly been a pretty fun like 

1098
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,960
blockbuster. 
It's just hard. 

1099
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,040
It's also not easy to be super 
head empty about this movie when

1100
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:05,960
it is very upfront. 
At least it's very dependent on 

1101
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,280
you being like in the know about
what the fuck is happening in 

1102
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:13,600
the Godzilla world, which stops 
being important after about 30 

1103
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:18,080
minutes. 
So anyone got anything else to 

1104
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:19,160
to throw in? 
No. 

1105
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,640
I don't think so. 
Well, that is a wrap on this 

1106
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,920
episode and mercifully on the 
shorter side for once. 

1107
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,000

Because social media ain't

01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,520
Nope. 
Sucks balls. 

1131
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,760
Not been great for SDGC either. 
What can you do? 

1132
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,080
Persevere. 
Outlast, you could pay 799 a 

1133
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,840
month. 
Never. 

1134
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,440
Apartheid Clyde. 
Apartheid Clyde is not getting 

1135
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,600
my $8. 
It's not happening. 

1136
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,080
Principle. 
I'll scream into the void to 

1137
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,320
nobody. 
Nobody will be able to see 

1138
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,320
because I I don't have my $8 
account. 

1139
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,880
I would rather spend $8 on a 
second Paramount Plus 

1140
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:33,240
subscription. 
That is all we've got this week,

so see you next whenever and 
take care everyone.
