1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960 Welcome to Derek's Dinosaur Corner look. 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:07,440 I'm sorry, I was a dinosaur kid and I am still autistic so. 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,600 I was going to say the powers. Of but I haven't kept up on on 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,440 dinosaur science in a in a while so. 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,720 Yeah, once they said they were all feathered, which, true or 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,280 not, made me very upset. I stopped. 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,640 I was like, I'm going to come back. 8 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,200 I'm going to come back when the science is done. 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:35,080 Done. Hello everyone, and welcome to 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,360 Castle Bravo. A Godzilla verse retrospective. 11 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:39,320 I'm Derek. And I'm Charlotte. 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,720 And we are two siblings here to examine the history of the 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,040 Godzilla franchise, one movie at a time. 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,480 We're joined by both of our guests from the previous 15 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,200 episodes. First, Matt Storm from certain 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,240 point of view, Hi I'm back. And secondly, Jason of Jason 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,000 does music. Hello. 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,360 I'm back to. Somehow, I was invited back. 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,440 How's how's everybody do? Like you know what to avoid the 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,520 gap that we had last time, which is is the only gap I did not 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,640 shorten when editing. I left the entire awkward pause 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,280 in it. Made me laugh when. 23 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,800 I listened to it. It was very good. 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,320 I was like, yeah, Stormy, How you been doing, bud? 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,320 I'm doing OK. I'm grateful to have watched a 26 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,120 real movie this time. Took three times, but like a 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,520 full-fledged movie from start to. 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,240 Finish. Yeah, we kind of like got to to 29 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,520 something like truly enjoyable on its own merits instead of 30 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,440 just as like MST3K fodder. Yeah, but I'm OK. 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,640 I enjoyed a good break. I actually sort of relaxed for a 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,440 change because my day job was closed between Christmas and New 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,800 Year's, so. And before that break. 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920 What is that like? I mean, I didn't because then I 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,800 played. I finished Persona 5 Royal in 36 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,960 that week and I had 30 hours to go. 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,880 And so I mainlined that game for a week, which was worth it, and 38 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,560 I loved it, but like it, probably not the smartest way to 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,000 play that game. Jason, how you doing, bud? 40 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,560 Doing pretty good, lots of lots of work. 41 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,960 So I've been able to do much music stuff, but I I have to 42 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,640 follow through on my pact with my fiance 'cause I finally got 43 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,840 her to agree to play Fortnite so long as I finally finished 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,320 Yakuza Kiwami 2A game. I've been playing for like 2 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,240 plus years every time. I jump in good, but it's it's 46 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,760 it's so fucking meaty, though. And well, my issue is I keep 47 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,640 jumping in and then going, oh, let me go do some cabaret club 48 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,920 stuff, let me go do some module of construction stuff. 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,240 Oh shit, I forgot to play the campaign again. 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,680 I just need them to make I, I, I Yakuza cabaret club like is its 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,080 own like $30 games, you know, right. 52 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,440 Would totally buy that, like on a phone or like what you're 53 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,720 doing? Yeah. 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,640 Oh, perfect. Switch fodder for sure. 55 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,880 Yeah. Charlotte. 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,880 Yeah. How you been doing? 57 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,560 I'm good. I started, yeah, yeah, I mean, I 58 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,480 I started that new position finally. 59 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,080 The one I told you about. Right. 60 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,600 Right, July, So yeah, it. Took them long enough. 61 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,080 Yeah, so I'm officially an actual software engineer. 62 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,960 Yeah. And so that's been good, but 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,040 also like stressful because I'm like, I feel like I kind of 64 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,760 stumbled into the position a little bit. 65 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,240 Yeah, you know, I mean, every new job is a little bit fake it 66 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,240 till you make it right. Like, yeah, yeah, you know, But 67 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,200 Lord knows you got this. You've been working at this shit 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,160 for ages. So I'm glad that you were 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,680 finally there now. So now the now the real learning 70 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,440 can begin. That's right. 71 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320 Eventually you will get promoted into a position you truly cannot 72 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,120 handle, but that is for down the road. 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,240 I'll do my best when I get there, but. 74 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:56,120 Yeah, so we are here today for Rebirth of Mothra 3. 75 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,520 Obviously the the four of us have gotten together to do all 76 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,480 three movies in this trilogy. I am breaking the timeline 77 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,800 slightly to do Rebirth of Mothra 3 next because actually Godzilla 78 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,960 98 comes out like a few months before Birth of Motha 3. 79 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,959 So like, yes, we've skipped Godzilla 98 for now. 80 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,880 We're going back to it. That will be the next episode. 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,800 I really wanted the trilogy to be contiguous, but also because 82 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,600 I think that Rebirth of Motha 3 like still exists because of the 83 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Mothra holding pattern, right? Like we've talked in previous 84 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,320 episodes about how, you know Toho, you know, we killed 85 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Godzilla in Godzilla versus Destroyer. 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,560 They knew that that Sony and Tristar were putting together 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,240 their Godzilla movie and the Mothra series has been their way 88 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,640 to kind of try to extend the the vibes of the hey say era of 89 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,280 their Kaiju movies without having access to Godzilla. 90 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,480 So like all three of these start production, you know, and and 91 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:08,120 you know basically finish before the Tristar movie comes out. 92 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,960 You know, they would have, they would have finished shooting 93 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,400 this well before Tristar's Godzilla released. 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080 So that's just a lot of words for me to say. 95 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,880 I'm doing the easy thing and putting the trilogy all 96 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,560 together. There's once again not a lot of 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,520 news in regards to like hey, why did they make a rebirth of Moth 98 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,920 for three? Maybe because the last two made 99 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,920 some fucking shmoney and they wanted to make some more and 100 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,800 they couldn't make a Godzilla. What is interesting to me is 101 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,600 some of the ways that the cast, like the crew, changed around. 102 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,040 I mean the cast obviously because it's a new film, but the 103 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,520 crew changed around. So for the first time, if I 104 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,360 remember correctly, because long time series producer and 105 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,200 original producer Tomoyuki Tanaka passed away after Rebirth 106 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,560 of Mothra 2 released, we have a movie that has no involvement 107 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,440 from Tamayuki Tanaka. He is not the producer. 108 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,040 We have a new series like lead producer at least for the time 109 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600 being named Shogo Tomiyama. This is not a newcomer to the 110 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,840 series as is kind of tradition at this point. 111 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:25,280 He was like a a fellow producer alongside Tanaka on a bunch of 112 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,040 the hey say era movies. So now it's basically just like 113 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:33,960 all him in the producer seat, the scriptwriter we have Masami 114 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,360 Suitani who wrote both of the previous Rebirth of Mothra 115 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,480 movies, but Suitani Co wrote them with Tanaka. 116 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,680 Obviously Tanaka had zero involvement in this movies. 117 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,920 This is Suitani alone and like I don't want to speak I'll of the 118 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,880 dead. But considering how much fucking 119 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,120 better of a movie we got, like on a structural level, it does 120 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,840 make me wonder what might have happened to the rest of the 121 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,640 series, to the last two movies had it been this crew from the 122 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,200 beginning. Because we also have the 123 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,000 director from a rebirth of Mother one is back Okihiro 124 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,560 Yoneda. So music Toshiyuki Watanabe, 125 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,600 Same person who did the the score for the last two movies. 126 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,240 This is now the first movie in the hey say era that Koichi 127 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,240 Kawakita is not doing special effects for. 128 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,960 It's a man named Kenji Suzuki. He as a tradition aidid under 129 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,040 Koichi Kawakita like all through the hey say era. 130 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,880 But what's interesting to me is we basically have a direct 131 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,200 through line of like all of the same creative team that worked 132 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,960 on the 1st movie, right? And and now that y'all have seen 133 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,560 the third movie, how fucking wild is that, given how 134 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,960 different the third Mothra movie is from the first? 135 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,080 Yeah, it's crazy. I think also it's weird like of 136 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,360 the consistent characters throughout the films. 137 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,520 I think we've got the first recast of one of the characters 138 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,800 in this film, right, Laura, I think. 139 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,240 I think Laura is a different actress this time, that might 140 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,680 be. I fully admit I did not check 141 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,160 like actor casting and that that could be the case. 142 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,960 Also not Belvera. So I just was only paying, 143 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,280 right? Sure, all that matters. 144 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,640 I'm going. To take like. 30 seconds. 145 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,160 I thought it was a new actress for Belvera. 146 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,520 I was like, no, that's just a glow up. 147 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,720 Yeah, that's his. That's his makeup. 148 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,919 Hang on, I'm going to take just a moment to do a little 149 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:42,559 confirmation here. So it is Akihano as Belvera the 150 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,720 entire way through. Megami Kobayashi is still Mole. 151 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,000 But yeah, Laura was recast. Yes. 152 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,840 Huh. You know, I didn't. 153 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,480 Because also the makeup choices and costuming choices really 154 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,760 changed and glowed up from the 2nd to 3rd movie. 155 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,160 So I I might not have recognized even the same actress. 156 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,680 Yeah, because because like you said, like Belvera almost looks 157 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:09,120 like a different actress at first, right? 158 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,240 You know, given how different the the makeup, the costuming, 159 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,560 the lighting is in. I'd say honestly, literally 160 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,240 everything in this movie is levelled up. 161 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,120 Yo, yeah, everything about the production design, Everything 162 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,360 about the editing, like the. Compositing even is better. 163 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,320 Yeah, the comp, I pointed that out and then we immediately saw 164 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360 something just kind of lazily float by. 165 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,280 I was, like I said, better, not good. 166 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240 Yeah, yeah, a lot of it's good. But yeah, there's still some, 167 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,840 like they made this movie on, you know, a a relatively tight 168 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,480 budget in the grand scheme of things. 169 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,760 You can tell what the late made effects were like the last 170 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,480 minute. Oh shit, we need, you know, 171 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,160 these boulders falling off of the cocoon. 172 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,280 Yeah, that kind of stuff. But but it's wild because like 173 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,440 we spent all this time in in the last episode about Rebirth of 174 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:59,480 Mothra 2 talking about how rough that movie was and like how my 175 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,600 my theory again is just that that movie got slammed through 176 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,920 the edit. There's telltale signs all over 177 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,280 that, like this movie just did not get time to actually get put 178 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,720 together. That wire work was the biggest. 179 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,320 One. Yeah. 180 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:13,680 Yeah. Still. 181 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,160 Had those wires. Same effects. 182 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,280 People. Same budget. 183 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,200 Like there's no reason why those wires had to be so lazily, like, 184 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,760 blurred over, unless you just consider they just did not have 185 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,440 time. By comparison, this movie feels 186 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,520 like it has like, hey say era Godzilla movie levels of 187 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,320 attention and care put into it. In fact, there's a few things in 188 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,560 this movie that I think are more impressive than most of the 189 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:45,320 stuff in the Godzilla movies. But yeah, we're we're kind of 190 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,320 what we'll get to that and and we'll get to that through 191 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,280 Charlotte, Charlotte, what happens in Rebirth of Mothra 3. 192 00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:01,520 A lot, but like positive a lot. So our movie starts and there's 193 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,240 sand falling away and they're, you know that the, the voice 194 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,360 over saying you will always have hope, right? 195 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,440 And it reveals the the little Mothra symbol that's been in all 196 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,160 the movies for a long time. Now the sick epic like logo 197 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,040 reveals CGI exists. That's right. 198 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,400 So then the title or birth of Mothra 3, right? 199 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,000 And now we go deep into this temple. 200 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:32,800 And here, here is Belvera and she is wearing like this black 201 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,680 dress with like, I don't know, I'm going to call them 202 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,320 pauldrons. She's got pauldrons, that's for 203 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,840 sure, she. Kind of has pauldrons and like a 204 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,000 crown, and she's opening this chest with a key. 205 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:51,040 She is fully she's gone from like goth party girl to like 206 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,400 goth queen who is here to bring about the end times. 207 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,520 She stopped shopping at Hot Topic, started shopping. 208 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,280 Exactly. Exactly. 209 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,400 Also the scene as it's panning around, I sent the group chat a 210 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,840 a gag of like, oh, I love Zelda because it looks like a Zelda 211 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,600 temple. And then in 2 minutes from now, 212 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840 when Charlotte gets to it, we're going to actually have some 213 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,000 Zelda ass shit that was like, what the hell? 214 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,720 And the funniest thing about that was I hadn't seen that 215 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920 message and I said the same exact thing. 216 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,920 She's like, oh, I love Legend of Zelda. 217 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,400 So the twins show up because they're trying to stop her from 218 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,680 whatever she's doing. We don't know yet. 219 00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,680 But it's Belvera, so we have to stop her. 220 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,200 But Belvera shows up and she takes this, this Triforce. 221 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,200 Yeah. She's trying to capture it. 222 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,360 Triforce. It's it's it's love, wisdom and 223 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,840 courage, right? Yeah. 224 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,600 Right. So it's it's the Triforce, 225 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,280 except they swap power for love. Right. 226 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,400 And she asked the the twins. Like, have you ever heard of the 227 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,000 the Elias triangle? Because that's what this is. 228 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,520 It holds great power and she drops a couple of them on the 229 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,120 way out, but she just lets the twins have them because she's 230 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600 like, you're going to need those because the King of Terror is 231 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,640 coming. What a great, what a great. 232 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,360 You call any motherfucker the king of terror and you do have 233 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,680 my attention. That's true, right? 234 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,720 And I. Like that. 235 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,080 These are actual literal triangles that fit into their 236 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,680 sword. Like it's not even a little bit 237 00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:24,320 like Zelda. It's literally son of a bitch. 238 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,360 It's actually. Zelda Yeah, I love that they 239 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,120 managed to rescue two of them and Belvera gets away with one 240 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,600 and they like play with the triangles for a minute and 241 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,880 realize that one of them fits into one of their swords and it 242 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,760 like powers up, the little knife turns into like a full blown 243 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,520 like Wu Shaw style like long sword and then they're like oh, 244 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,480 but this one doesn't fit mine so this must be for Belvera's and 245 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,360 Belvera has has mine. Yeah. 246 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,840 Right. Yeah, that was actually my next 247 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,760 note. It was about the sword. 248 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,720 So then an asteroid strikes the atmosphere, because a lot 249 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,200 happens very quickly and there's these shards flying across the 250 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,360 sky. I hope that's not like a meteor 251 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,640 rather than an asteroid, but I didn't really want to check 252 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,960 myself on that. A rock. 253 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,240 A rock came and it. Broke up and some more rocks. 254 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,280 So there's some kids hanging out at home, right? 255 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,520 And and they're looking at their hamsters and they're like, 256 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,560 there's something going on with these hamsters. 257 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,400 But then their dad comes home and the first, most important 258 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,880 thing in this movie is in the shot because he gets out of his 259 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,240 car and there's a tails doll in his, in his, in his truck, 260 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,480 right. Yep, the. 261 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,200 Sega advertising is heavy in this movie for sure. 262 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,960 So heavy. Because this this came out like 263 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,120 a month after the Dreamcast did in Japan, and one of the launch 264 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,520 titles for the Dreamcast was Godzilla Generations, and it had 265 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,360 this little game you could play on your VMU where you would take 266 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,920 care of the little little Kaiju's. 267 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,800 Godzilla, Tamagotchi, right? Basically, yeah, yeah. 268 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,840 So the father has brought a watermelon home with him. 269 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,800 It was. It was a gift from old Tanaka 270 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,240 because you know it, it's it's around summertime, so it's time 271 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,680 to eat. Watermelon I do believe this is 272 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,760 meant to be like a nod to producer Tanaka. 273 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,960 I mean, I know Tanaka is a common name, but like also 274 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,640 there's a picture of Tanaka like in their living room. 275 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,480 Like he's a relative, so. Oh, is he one of the guys at the 276 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,960 top? Yeah, he's one of the, he's one 277 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,800 of the guys in the photographs. Yeah, so. 278 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,440 OK, so he comes home, he tries his wife's cooking and it's it's 279 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,280 pretty good. And she's like, Oh well, our son 280 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,400 Shoda helped me with it. And he's like, Oh well, good job 281 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,160 Shoda. He was kind of savage about it 282 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,440 too, like he was. She was like, hey, what's what's 283 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,640 what? How does this taste? 284 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200 And. Just it's all right. 285 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,160 And then the other one just need to chop the onions more finely. 286 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,880 He's like this kid is. He's not even autistic coded, 287 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,440 he's just. Yeah, he's just autistic. 288 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,040 The onions are too big. It's not good. 289 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,560 I don't like the mouthfeel of this. 290 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,120 Sorry. Not the first thing extremely 291 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,040 autistic coded about about Shota. 292 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,320 True. So lights continue to flash 293 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,240 across the sky, and one of them, one of the shards of rock, lands 294 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,840 in Alki Forest nearby. And the earth shakes. 295 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:26,240 And it's it's in Fukui, it's at. So nothing really comes of it 296 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,000 that night. But the next day, the parents 297 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,200 are heading out. They've got to go to work. 298 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,920 The kids have to go to school. Except for Shoda, who does not 299 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,480 go to school. They even have like a a 300 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,720 conversation where like the dad who I guess it's like a trucker 301 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,440 or something, right. Because he's driving the big 302 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,480 delivery truck like home and back and it's implied that he 303 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,920 works long hours. But like the dad talks to me, 304 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,280 he's like, hey, look, I'm not I'm not trying to, I'm not 305 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,920 trying to like force you to go to school, you know? 306 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,640 But like it would it would be it would mean a lot to me if you if 307 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,160 you eventually started going back like and it's a great 308 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,400 moment of this, this very human like I don't know what to do 309 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,640 with you but I love you and I'm trying to support you. 310 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,160 I just don't know the rights. Like this is immediately a way 311 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,560 more mature movie, and it's in the way it handles the like 312 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,079 child parent dynamic. It was very gentle parenting and 313 00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:23,200 not only that. And there's another point, and 314 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,160 I'll bring it up when that is closer to the timeline of the 315 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,160 movie here. But he's very gentle with the 316 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,200 kid and very just like, I think it's time. 317 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,400 Not like you need to go back. Think it's time. 318 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,760 Yeah, this was also the moment where I went. 319 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,120 I would die for this family. Yes, they're delightful. 320 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:42,320 This is a good. Family that does not have 321 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,840 dysfunction. They are like working together 322 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,840 to make it through. I love. 323 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,880 This, and the actors, children and all, are all charming and 324 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,560 like like we it's been a mix of performances over the last. 325 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,560 Two movies have the very manic, like, like, you know, when 326 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,640 adults make a kids movie and try to make it like, we're going to 327 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,080 make it from the perspective of kids. 328 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,960 We're like kids are really cool and competent and grown-ups are 329 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,000 the dumb ones. And like, I instead think this 330 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,280 has so much more of a compassionate view because also 331 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,440 this family is clearly, like coded to be like very lower 332 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,840 class, right? They live in a small house. 333 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,360 They're in a rural area. The dad drives a truck. 334 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,880 You know, they look like not glamorous, right? 335 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,640 Both parents are working and she thinks that might be the reason 336 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,960 that he's not going to. School. 337 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,160 Yeah, like their their their clothes are not nice, right? 338 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,880 Without being like cartoonish, it's a very subtle even the ways 339 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,080 that like their hair is done right is a very subtle like this 340 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,760 is a poor family trying to make it by like in the outskirts. 341 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,920 Yeah and yeah, the the the parents during this scene do 342 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,440 have a conversation about Shota not going back to school. 343 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,360 And like the mom's like, well, I I just don't know, like he won't 344 00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,200 go back to school. And the father's like, well, he 345 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,120 just has his own ideas about things. 346 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,160 Like that's how he puts it. Yeah. 347 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:15,040 But yeah, Shota made their lunches for everybody and the 348 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,000 the kids are talking to the parents showed his brother and 349 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,680 sister they are Tomako and Shuhei, who I don't mention by 350 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,040 name again in this script. Neither does the movie. 351 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,840 Basically except for. When the parents are looking for 352 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,920 the kids, usually only Tomako's name, they're shouting out. 353 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,120 Yeah. Yeah, but she's the smallest, so 354 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,160 you know, but that. But they're talking to the 355 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,600 parents and they're like, well, there's this girl at school, 356 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,920 right? And they force her to eat her 357 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,360 lunch every day, but she doesn't like her lunch. 358 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,480 And I don't think you should force people to do things they 359 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,760 don't want to do. It's so cute because it's like 360 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,640 the kids trying to latch on to the only frame of reference they 361 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,040 have of like, you know? Is another autistic kid I've 362 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,080 seen. Yeah, exactly. 363 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,120 But like you know this is this is like you can't and and it's 364 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:07,520 like the parents being like OK well this is clearly not like 365 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,040 about him having to eat lunch but like. 366 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,000 Yeah, like we can't force him, but we're like trying to figure 367 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,080 out what's best here. It lays the groundwork, like I 368 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,640 said, for just like for a a lower class, deeply 369 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,880 compassionate family doing their best to navigate a tricky 370 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,080 situation. And also the fact that it, like, 371 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,640 takes the time to point out that, like, Shota made everyone 372 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,800 lunches is like, this is not, like, neat stuff. 373 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,760 This is not stereotypical. Like I locked myself in a room 374 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,360 and obsessed with manga all day. Like, no. 375 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:42,840 This kids like Capable and he's responsible. 376 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,520 He's functional. He's just doing his own. 377 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,840 Thing. He just is not engaged with 378 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,800 school. Yeah, you know, and like that's 379 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,320 a thing that's going to hurt his future. 380 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,280 But like, you know, what can you do when you see that? 381 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,920 It's not like a total shutdown, it's it's a very specific 382 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,120 shutdown. Right. 383 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,640 Yeah, again, points to autism. So. 384 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,640 For who? So the twins and fairy 385 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760 investigate the crater that was created by the asteroid and 386 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,240 fairy's like it was caused by a dinosaur and twins are like the 387 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:23,240 dinosaurs are are are very dead. Oh, did we miss bringing up Garu 388 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,760 Garu's back? And he has a Google. 389 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,120 Now he. Does point it out a little more. 390 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,920 Yeah, that's. A little later. 391 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,360 But he shows up briefly, I think in the when that when Bulvera 392 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:35,600 escapes. But like, you don't see as much. 393 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,400 Yeah, he's back. He's got one Google, One little 394 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Google. He's got that little, say, 395 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,120 invasive visor. Yeah, it's better integrated 396 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,440 into him. It's not like half machine, half 397 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,680 flesh. It's like flesh with machine 398 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,880 around. It's an accessory. 399 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,240 Yeah, so then they're like, OK, yeah, but the the king of terror 400 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,040 killed all the dinosaurs, so I guess it must be back now if 401 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,480 this is what fairy sang. So then they cut to school and 402 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,880 all the kids are singing and that one kid is playing his 403 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,440 VMUI. Have to point it out. 404 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,000 Yes, they do a close up of it. Like right after the scene they 405 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,600 do a close up of the VMU. So it's not just you. 406 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,360 Like, they're literally like, let's show this Sega thing to 407 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:21,680 like, work on that brand deal. He was taking care of Rodan. 408 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,360 Yeah. Oh, you know what? 409 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:26,200 You're right. And that's something really 410 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,160 interesting I'll have to get into later, yeah. 411 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,120 And also something that I wanted to point out at this point. 412 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,320 Me and my fiance were trying to figure out what the message of 413 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,720 this movie was because there was some, like, vaguely visual 414 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,520 pollution imagery and but there's also just the autistic 415 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,960 child. And aren't they trying to say 416 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,160 that autism is pollution of the brain or some shit? 417 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,240 Like what? What's going on here? 418 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,880 It is not after the first two movies were deeply like blatant 419 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,560 and heavy-handed with their like anti like like anti, like 420 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,240 pollution, like pro environmentalist messages. 421 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,400 This movie being very subtle early on is kind of weird. 422 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,440 It it was, yeah. Because we were just like it's 423 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,000 usually at this point, pretty explicit what they're trying to 424 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,200 say is bad. What What is this? 425 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,960 Yeah. Right, so then a giant monster 426 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,200 flies overhead and all the kids just disappear. 427 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:24,520 They all get like Spirited away and Belvera swoops in. 428 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,960 Is like, ah, this was King Ghidorah. 429 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,840 King Ghidorah now has the power to make children teleport away. 430 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,040 Which movie? Maker dissolve effect. 431 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,360 Yeah, well. I kind of like though because 432 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:41,320 it's clearly everything from like the the like framing of the 433 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,920 shots to like the music and sound effect choices. 434 00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:46,880 It is kind of a silly like dissolve effect on the kids 435 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,080 where they like warp and get like pixelated away, but it's 436 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,040 everything else is terrifying played as a very eerie thing to 437 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,200 just like watch as crowds of children just get like powdered 438 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:04,520 up and like sucked into the sky. Yeah, we're back to like 10, you 439 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,040 know, 10 out of 10 music like. The, the music. 440 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,120 Is incredible in this. Yeah, just so good. 441 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,720 The hero theme that we that we'll get later. 442 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,320 But even like even this. Yeah, like the scoring behind 443 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,280 this horror. Like, it could be played for 444 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,120 laughs, but the music really does amp up the Wow. 445 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:21,880 This isn't good. This is unnatural, Yeah. 446 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,120 And this is another one of the points where we were pointing 447 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:27,400 out how good just the shots, where the Dolly zooms, the 448 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,320 angles, just everything was so well shot. 449 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,920 Yeah, well, most things. Yeah. 450 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,480 Yeah, so Ghidorah continues to fly like past the school, and 451 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,800 then just over more children who get spirited away. 452 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,480 I do also love that we don't see much of Ghidorah. 453 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,600 We're basically getting a brief blurry outline of him from 454 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,440 below. Right. 455 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,120 With almost no details, he just like flies past. 456 00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:54,520 Very quickly they are holding back on showing us ghidorah. 457 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,000 More good ear and monster stuff. Yeah. 458 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,640 Yeah, so despite being told not to, Shota goes to Alki Forest 459 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,520 and he manages to follow, like the trail of helicopters and 460 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,480 police vehicles to find his way towards the crater. 461 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:13,280 The twins are shocked to see children disappearing and 462 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,040 they're like, well, Ghidorah killed the dinosaurs before, so 463 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,880 I guess he's killing children now, which is kind of an 464 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:27,000 interesting leap, but they call for Mothra because that's the 465 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,640 the Kaiju on retainer to fix this. 466 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,040 Ghidorah flies over the city now. 467 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,960 It's like destroying everything, looking generally menacing. 468 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,560 We've got more like the the traditional dragon aesthetics of 469 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:46,960 like the antlers and everything. Now you know Shota looks through 470 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,560 the forest, and he happens upon like a flesh Dome. 471 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,880 It's horrible, dude. It looks like a nut sack it. 472 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,840 Looks. Like a badly animated nut sack. 473 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,520 Because it's also like pulsating. 474 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,200 Didn't like that. It's very gross, like pulsating. 475 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,720 Yeah, I mean, it's the late 90s, so I mean, it looks like 476 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,640 something you'd see in like Blue Stinger or something. 477 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,200 Yes, absolutely correct. Yes, 100%. 478 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,240 One of the kids tries to throw like a soccer ball at it, and 479 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,600 the soccer ball, like, evaporates. 480 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,440 So all the kids are like, all right, we're not touching. 481 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,960 We can't. Just do shit here. 482 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,440 Have we gotten? The close up on Ghidorah's face 483 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,280 yet? I think there's like not not a 484 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,160 close up, close up when he's looking over everything 485 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,400 menacingly, but. OK, OK, we'll we'll make a note 486 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,760 when we hit the close up, because holy shit. 487 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,880 Yeah, I know that there is one right before the thing happens 488 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,160 to Laura. But that might be it anyway. 489 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,840 Yeah, so Ghidorah arrives at the at the Flesh Dome and just like 490 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,360 looks down into the Flesh Dome. It is. 491 00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:58,840 It's just being menacing. Some more Mothra finally shows 492 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,960 up and Mothra immediately just starts blasting. 493 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,480 Ghidorah shows up. I started. 494 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,320 Blasting, you know, I was going to say. 495 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,480 That. Oh, you beat me. 496 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,600 To it Charlotte and the energy is so good because we have this 497 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,240 very like cool, very modern, like I love Martha Leo's design 498 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,960 and Leo is a very modern take on a Mothra design, right? 499 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,880 But this incarnation of King Ghidorah to me feels like we put 500 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,360 money and modern production value behind like the 60s take 501 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:35,640 on Ghidorah, right? And in that way, it's like a 502 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,320 very like visual clash in a way that I think is very interesting 503 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,880 and sells the idea of Ghidorah being something like old and 504 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,440 different and above, right? Yeah, I mean, Ghidorah feels 505 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,080 like like ancient, like the design feels like ancient 506 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,680 Japanese Dragons kind of design. It's very ornate, yeah. 507 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,760 And like, I just love that. Also this, like, this is a 508 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,240 version of Ghidorah that is not meant to be connected to any 509 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,080 other version of Ghidorah. Just like the rest of these 510 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,800 movies. Like this is an isolated this is 511 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,480 Ghidorah. Ghidorah was the destroyer of 512 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,760 the dinosaurs, and here he is now, back to kill our children. 513 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,880 And it's going back to even, like the show, a version of 514 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,560 Ghidorah in terms of concept, right? 515 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,200 Because it's this alien thing, right? 516 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,960 It it comes from outside of Earth and comes to Leech like 517 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,240 it's galactus right? It's dragon galactus. 518 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,000 You know it. It it it comes, it crash lands 519 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,480 and it it fucking steals all of the you know the planets life 520 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,960 force and then moves on and it almost did it once it caused the 521 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,600 extinction event you know that wiped out the dinosaurs and it's 522 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,240 it's back to do it again. Just. 523 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,200 See, I guess I was having like a prolonged moment because I was 524 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,280 still kind of like, why is he doing it to just children? 525 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,800 But I guess if you use the logic from the second movie that 526 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,520 children have more life force than other. 527 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,960 Things, yeah. And also like if you kill the 528 00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:03,080 children, it'll be harder for the human race to continue 529 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,360 exist, right? Because those children won't 530 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,520 have children, won't have children, these parents would 531 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,120 have to have new children. You're kind of. 532 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,560 It's a way to kill off the human race. 533 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,160 And thematically, right if, if. If Ghidorah, This incarnation of 534 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280 Ghidorah is tied to terror, right? 535 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,600 Like the single greatest way you sow terror through civilization 536 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,560 is you get rid of the kids, right? 537 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Because a, that's the single scariest fucking thing that you 538 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:34,160 could do like to most adults and you also create that like degree 539 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,480 of terror within the children. Like it's it's kind of 540 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,400 maximizing the the the impact of like I'm not just here to take 541 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,560 energy. I am here to cause fear. 542 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,960 So it's a good it's a good call. Yeah, yeah, the tracks. 543 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,120 So Mothra is blasting. Ghidorah, Ghidorah shooting is 544 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,640 lightning back. Yeah, I I'm actually doing that 545 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,160 with my hands. Too finger guns. 546 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,280 Finger guns for the audio listeners because there's no 547 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,080 visual representation. Right. 548 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,080 Mothra is the one functioning F35 in existence. 549 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,680 Right, exactly. Right. 550 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,560 Mothra gets hit, starts losing altitude and then Ghidorah just 551 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,360 like slams down on Mothra with its entire body weight and grabs 552 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,160 Mothra by the wings and just starts slamming it into the 553 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,600 ground. It is brutal. 554 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,440 Ghidorah's not fucking around. Yeah, after that, like. 555 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,280 Hop when he stomps on on Leo like, Oh my God, it was just 556 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,200 like. Like, and before this point, I 557 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,040 wanted to point out that this is the first time that we've had 558 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,960 like good city destruction action. 559 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,680 Like we've had destruction in the forest, we've had it out in 560 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,680 the water, but never in the city. 561 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,960 And just seeing those shots was so good, Yeah. 562 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,360 This is a ghidorah that is not fucking around. 563 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,560 Not at all. There is. 564 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,760 Immediately. All right, I got your kids. 565 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,760 I'm going to fuck up the least. Amount of fucking around that a 566 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,200 Ghidorah has done maybe since his first appearance. 567 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,840 Yeah, yeah. So this is the point. 568 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,240 Like there's a close up on Ghidorah because Laura looks 569 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,440 directly into Ghidorah's eye and like her face changes. 570 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,640 That fucking eye dude like that was really cool actually. 571 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,040 So much work into. I mean when even the eyes look 572 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,600 that impressive and intimidating, I think the only 573 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,280 like it reminds me of how much detail and care went into 574 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,440 painting the like 80s and 90s Godzilla suits like eyes right 575 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:38,160 To display just like the sheer amount of like rage through the 576 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,000 eye alone. And and just seeing that shot, 577 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,160 you can see just immediately, like, oh, they're fucked. 578 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,240 Oh yeah. Oh yeah, that is fucking evil. 579 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,080 Yeah, and I guess I failed to mention because I was trying to 580 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,240 segue about the close up, but the twins are there too. 581 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,920 Ghidorah throws Mothra into the air and just like shoots him 582 00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:04,680 while while he's in the air to death, basically like he's done 583 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,240 at this. Point. 584 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:10,720 And then Laura starts strangling Mole and then they like fall off 585 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,560 a fairy down towards the the flesh Dome. 586 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,480 Ghidorah, like roars, flies back to the city and they're they're 587 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,920 trying to evaculate the schools because I mean, don't know what 588 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,480 to do at this point. The kids are all going to get 589 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,760 teleported away, but then the kids get teleported away and 590 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,920 Belvera is investigating the Dome and she gets like dragged 591 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,760 in by the tentacles that the the Dome forms. 592 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,080 Yeah, horrible. Like also like at first I was 593 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,960 like why tentacles? And then I went of. 594 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,720 Course it's 98. It's time. 595 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,680 Like, tentacles are now firmly pop cultured. 596 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,560 Yeah, we know, Yeah. Yeah, and. 597 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:59,040 They're our dad's watching. They they offer Shota too but 598 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,800 Fairy shows up and like saves Shota from being dragged in. 599 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:09,120 Also Laura is lost in in the Dome now and has been overtaken 600 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,360 by Ghidorah. Like her she's been brainwashed 601 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:19,120 basically just from looking in Ghidorah's eye and at current 602 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,800 3000 children have been taken away or and they're in that 603 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,920 Dome. I don't think they do a great 604 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,680 job of demonstrating the fact that there are 3000 children 605 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,840 yet, but. They probably could not get 3000 606 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,320 extras, I would imagine. Well, OK, that's fair. 607 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,920 And I'm glad they didn't put any CGI children. 608 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,800 That's horrible CGI doll children. 609 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,520 They look like the characters from reboot. 610 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,280 It'd be awful. But I like reboot. 611 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,760 I I mean, I love reboot, but the the let's just say the CG has 612 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,080 not aged as well as the content of it. 613 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,320 So all the parents hearing the news report on this like they 614 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,320 they found the Dome. So all the parents are are 615 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,520 rushing towards the forest to try to get to this Dome. 616 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,840 After this news report show to shows mole how to get to the 617 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,120 wind cave because that's how you get through towards the Dome. 618 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,159 And they discuss how older children like Belvera tend to 619 00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:20,080 have it harder. They finally wrap around on the 620 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,679 like why Belvera acts the way that she does. 621 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,920 Yep, First child syndrome, right? 622 00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:28,520 I also love that we get into like what this kid has been 623 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,679 doing during the day when everyone's at work and school is 624 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:34,120 like, he just goes out and fucking explores the forest. 625 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,120 Full Legend of Zelda. Like he's he's made, he's made a 626 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,560 tunnel in a cave. He's he's exploring, he's got 627 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,199 supplies. He's got a ladder. 628 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:48,520 Like he's he's set. Yeah, so they find Mothra, who's 629 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,920 currently healing in the forest from the horrible damage Mole 630 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,960 tells showed that Mothra can sense good people, and so he 631 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,600 shouldn't be afraid, but he does hesitate. 632 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,840 He's like, I don't know, what if I'm not good, you know? 633 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,800 But he he starts approaching. Mothra showed his parents come 634 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,680 home to find him to figure out how to get to the wind cave so 635 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,760 they can get closer. But he's already gone, and 636 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,400 they're like he must already be at the wind cave. 637 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,880 He does love adventure, the father says. 638 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,000 At that point I specifically there's a difference between the 639 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000 sub and the dub. We had the dub like or the the 640 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,520 sub subtitles on from the sub, not from the dub. 641 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,880 So we could see some of the differences here. 642 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,640 The original says the kid likes adventure, but in the dub the 643 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,440 the dad says I told you you should have used the belt on him 644 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,480 more often. I was like there is those are 645 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,920 two different lines. What's? 646 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:48,440 So, out of place for the tone of this family. 647 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,760 What the fuck exactly? I told you you should have beat 648 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,000 that little autistic fuck more often. 649 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,680 What this? Is like this is just goes back 650 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,920 to like the the Americans need things harsher. 651 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,840 It's like the Kirby thoughts art all over again. 652 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,680 Yeah. It's just like I don't 653 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,080 understand why Kirby. Has. 654 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,520 To be aggressive in America, it doesn't understand. 655 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,080 But now I I understand. It's because we, American TV 656 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,640 should. Use the belt on and more. 657 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,720 Yeah. Oh my. 658 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,600 God we're. Just like what is this? 659 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,520 This is so that's not the. Read that line again. 660 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,680 Oh, that's. That just means somebody looked 661 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,320 at this script and was like. We got to punch it up here. 662 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,800 American. It's got to be harsher. 663 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,680 That's that is like a a ghost stories dub like level of you 664 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:46,120 did not need to punch this up. It's the only time we paused the 665 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,880 movie too. Just we had to recollect 666 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:54,760 ourselves and just hang on. Belvera still in the Dome, of 667 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,280 course. Can't get that out of the Dome, 668 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,880 but she's like trying to restart Gara. 669 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,960 Gara going to restart Gary. Like a like a motorcycle. 670 00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:05,600 Yeah. Very good actually. 671 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,160 But then she gets to do a sword fight with Laura, who she 672 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,480 recognizes has been possessed by Ghidorah like Belvera is now 673 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,000 like a hero. In the store. 674 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,720 And it sucks because Laura got like the triangle and made her 675 00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:22,040 sword more bigger and Belvera still got like. 676 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,760 It off of Belvera's choker. Kitchen knife, you know. 677 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,160 Right, right. So meanwhile, Shota's parents 678 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,480 find his bike and so we're like, OK, he is here, They go into The 679 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,960 Cave to look for him. Mothra and Mole talk about how 680 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,520 to stop Ghidorah and they're like, well, we. 681 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,920 Have to go back and. They're like, we have to go back 682 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,320 in time to stop Ghidorah. I don't know how we're going to 683 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,680 do that. And then Mothra's like, oh, I 684 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,200 can do it, but I'm not going to be able to come back. 685 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:57,640 But in Mothra language. And Mole says what I think is a 686 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,160 very like hard line in this movie, where she says the scope 687 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:07,280 of the mind is unlimited. OK, did not not deeply connected 688 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,120 to anything going on at the moment, but go off qui. 689 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,200 Autism. It's autism. 690 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:14,880 It's all. It's all autism all the way 691 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,600 through. So Mothra starts flying and Mole 692 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,840 starts singing and Mothra is traveling back in time and 693 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,000 actually I I guess to to survive time travel like transforms into 694 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,640 a different form it's. Funny though, because Mantra 695 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,200 turns into fucking like the the water Mothra that we got at the 696 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,440 end of the last movie. And then the water Mothra turns 697 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,760 into the fucking time travel Mothra. 698 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,280 And it's like this is a weird digivolution path, guys. 699 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,800 Oh my God, that's like the old like I. 700 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,040 Didn't realize I was watching the first Tron movie. 701 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,720 Those fucking light ships. Yeah, it's a very which Superman 702 00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:58,000 movie is it where he just has to fly around the world super fast 703 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,840 to go back in time? Not 22. 704 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,640 OK, yeah, we're pulling a Superman 2. 705 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,960 Mothra's is going so fast that she's travelling. 706 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,520 Have we ever really established if Leo is a boy or girl? 707 00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:10,000 So Leo is a boy, according. To everything. 708 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,800 So Leo is a boy according to everything, but I'm pretty sure 709 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,200 Shota go she when referring to Mothra in this film. 710 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,880 Gender's a construct. It's fine. 711 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,080 Mothra's gender, I mean, it's not. 712 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,000 It's true. It's not real. 713 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,360 This is just. Drag King Mothra like, exactly. 714 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,920 There. You go, So Mole asks Shota to 715 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,760 save her sister in the Dome, and then she turns to Crystal and. 716 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:34,720 Just. Fucking. 717 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,800 She used up all her power. Yeah, this. 718 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,920 Is genuinely sad. Yeah, it was like, Oh my God, 719 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,120 it's a pretty effective scene. Yeah, she like falls backward 720 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,360 into the water and like crystallizes underwater and is 721 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,160 like at the bottom of the pond. Which to her is like. 722 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,400 Massive and I like the idea that like, this is the thing that 723 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,400 might have worked if the two, like if if Laura and Moll had 724 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,000 worked together, but she just. Like, yeah, that's the 725 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,040 implication. Deeply over expended herself to 726 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:05,760 do it alone so. Yeah, and so she she does give 727 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,760 show to her sword. Yeah, I I like that. 728 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,720 She's like, here, you'll need this. 729 00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,080 And it's this big sword in her hand. 730 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,880 And then he's holding it and it's like a toothpick. 731 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:14,720 Sigh. Like half. 732 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,920 A toothpick. Take this like Toy Autistic. 733 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:23,520 Child pretty much, yeah. Mafa arrives in the past. 734 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,760 Which you know is is the Time of Dinosaurs because it could not 735 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,240 look more like Time of Dinosaurs. 736 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,440 Everything is is palm tree jungles and like giant piles of 737 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,280 rocks with a red filter. It's so good. 738 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,120 It's so good. This is Cartoon Network dinosaur 739 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,360 times. Yeah, and like the dinosaur 740 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,640 suits slash puppets are like, like just a little less 741 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,640 impressive than Jurassic. Park all the budget went into 742 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,400 Mothra and Ghidorah and those the dinosaurs, like my kid has 743 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,000 some dinosaur toys. Yeah, I'll go grab those. 744 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,320 Yeah, I love. Them. 745 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,760 But back in the present Belvera notes that her triangles for 746 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:09,440 courage just to know who's is who's here And Guru Guru like 747 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,480 almost blasts her legs off while she's trying to restart him 748 00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:19,760 showed his parents arrive at the end of the cavern path And I 749 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,000 skipped the part in my notes here because it just says he 750 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,160 yells out for Ghidorah who absorbs him to the Dome. 751 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,200 It's Shoda Shoda. Shoda yells out for Ghidorah. 752 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,960 He's like, why don't you take me too, huh. 753 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,960 And he gets absorbed him to the Dome. 754 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,440 The Dome like shifts colors and then this ink substance starts 755 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,360 erupting from the floor and it's like it looks acidic. 756 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,000 Hey, do you want to know what's fucked up? 757 00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:41,720 It's a stomach. What? 758 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,880 Oh, it is a stomach. You're so kids are in a fucking, 759 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,640 like weird external stomach. Horrible. 760 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:51,800 And. They're going to be digested. 761 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,160 That is horrible. Yeah. 762 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:58,200 And like this, like bluish, like black ink starts coming out and 763 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,640 like bursting for pustules and it's like filling up and the 764 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,080 kids. Are trying to get to like higher 765 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,400 ground to get away from it. They show like a backpack 766 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,760 melting into A to show that it's, yeah, it's horrible. 767 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,760 But then we cut back to the past and you know, it's the age of 768 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,000 the dinosaurs because the T Rex is trying to eat a triceratops 769 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,720 and it doesn't, It's not very good at it. 770 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,440 No. T Rex was notoriously not very 771 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,240 good at eating triceratops, in fact. 772 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,560 So this is truth in television? But I also, the minute I saw the 773 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,600 T Rex attacking the the Triceratops, I went, OK, I know 774 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,160 how this is going to go. Then Ghidorah is going to attack 775 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,280 the T Rex to show the dominance. And that's exactly what happens. 776 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,520 I was like, all right, I don't hate it. 777 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,160 And what blew me away in this moment is when we get a good 778 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,920 look at Ghidorah, he looks quote UN quote younger and it's a 779 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,000 different. Suit a completely different 780 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,040 suit. Wild. 781 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,720 And what's funny is that they would do that closely resembles 782 00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:51,600 the hey say like the the 90s suit. 783 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,400 Like it's so funny how they've done like they've really like 784 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,960 intentionally tied together all these different design elements. 785 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,920 So they've made it like a simpler version of the more 786 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,280 complicated 90s suit, while making the adult version look 787 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:14,280 like this like heavily ornate like version of the much simpler 788 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,720 60s suit. Basically a gold king Ghidorah 789 00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:19,200 there. Yeah, I love it. 790 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,560 But I'd also like to point out in terms of truth to television, 791 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,560 I'm pretty sure they they disproved that triceratops 792 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,000 exist. So anyway, Mothra swoops in. 793 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,600 Keep going, I'm just Googling, don't mind me. 794 00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:41,040 I mostly said that to set off. There, I thought it was that 795 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,400 they did find that like another species, Brontosaurus, that they 796 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,640 saw wasn't real. Yes, that's correct because 797 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,640 that's two different. But Triceratops, I think what it 798 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,640 is, is there is a different species that was smaller that 799 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,680 for a long time we thought was a separate species and we we I 800 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,600 think believe is actually just a young Triceratops. 801 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,800 I might have it backwards. It might be the other way around 802 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,240 I. Welcome to Derek's Dinosaur 803 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,360 Corner look. I'm sorry, I was a dinosaur kid 804 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,720 and I am still autistic so. I was going to say the powers of 805 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,960 but. I haven't kept up on on dinosaur 806 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,800 science in a in a while, so. Yeah, once they said they were 807 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,760 all feathered, which, true or not, made me very upset. 808 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,160 I stopped. I was like, I'm going to come 809 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,280 back. I'm going to come back when the 810 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,560 science is done, done. Like, because it's amazing. 811 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,920 Exactly. So anyway, this this side 812 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,560 conversation is the thing most likely to get me. 813 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:39,240 Adm Bravo. I'm going to get a dinosaur 814 00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:41,520 person like, hey bud, I got to fucking tell you the truth about 815 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,360 Triceratops now. I don't think T Rex and 816 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,280 Triceratops existed at the same time. 817 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,360 I don't. Think that's a. 818 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,960 Mistake. I mean, we frequent, but also 819 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,080 King Ghidorah didn't exist in real life. 820 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,200 So I think we're true. I did. 821 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,880 Truth and television King Ghidorah did eat T Rex so. 822 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,000 Mothra does swoop in to attack Ghidorah, and Ghidorah shoots 823 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,360 fireballs. Ghidorah is not yet at 824 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,600 Lightning, which, as we know from Avatar, the Last Airbender 825 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,520 is just stronger fire, right? Yes. 826 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,000 There's also the scene where he's like chasing Mothra. 827 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,280 He doesn't initially fly. And the gun, the running. 828 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,120 The running. I love that fucking. 829 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,400 He does like a fucking What are the metal gears with the lady 830 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,680 legs in in Metal Gear Solid 4? All the ones that, yeah. 831 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,360 It does like a runway strut run and I love that. 832 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,400 So funny. I just want to put the 833 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,560 Scooby-doo running sound underneath it. 834 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,120 But despite the fact that this is like a weaker Gadora, those 835 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,160 fireballs are still strong enough to ground Mothra like 836 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,880 Gadora is still not a pushover back then. 837 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,520 Yeah, Gadora is still really strong and like, Mothra is still 838 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,760 really weakened from the earlier fight. 839 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,120 Like Mothra did not have time to recover. 840 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,880 So it's still like, OK, we went back in time and I'm still 841 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,920 fucked, right? I went back in time to kill 842 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,840 Hitler as a baby, and now baby Hitler's choking me to death. 843 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,080 How did this happen? How did we get here? 844 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,000 Well, Mothor starts clawing and biting at one of the heads, but 845 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:21,680 gets shot like point blank. When Mothor started doing that, 846 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,400 I was like, this can't end well. You do not have long limbs. 847 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,760 I don't know what you expected to happen here. 848 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,560 They both take off into the air and start flying around in the 849 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,600 present. Ghidorah is like lashing around 850 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,560 because of the things. I guess it's like suddenly 851 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,680 remembering that it took damage from in the past. 852 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,440 It was really odd. Like almost like flashback pain. 853 00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:46,800 It wasn't. Really cool. 854 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,480 If like Mothra managed to like scratch out an eye and then we 855 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,280 went to the future and saw like an eye get damaged, something 856 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,680 like that. See, There's a reason that 857 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,800 doesn't happen. Right. 858 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,880 So good point. You know, we'll get to that, 859 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:03,680 Yeah. Now Laura moves to attack Shota 860 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,280 and Shota's like begging her. And like Mole is dead and her 861 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,040 last request was that you would help Mothra, so I need you to 862 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,800 snap out of it. And so Laura has her internal 863 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,880 psychic conflict with herself and passes out. 864 00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:21,800 Is this where she jumps up to like his shoulder, or is that 865 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:22,560 later? Yeah. 866 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,160 And like. Hold the tooth back to his neck 867 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,920 and it like just begins to sink in and it's very like. 868 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,120 Yeah, yeah. No, she was going to kill. 869 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,400 You're going to stab this child in his carotid artery. 870 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:41,200 Yeah, so Laura and Bull's swords combine together because that's 871 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,560 just what they do, because it's the 90s and everyone has 872 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,560 pauldrons and combining swords. True. 873 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,400 Belvera finally gets Gara Gara to to move and then combines her 874 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,280 sword with theirs to create like the final sword. 875 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,160 And she's like, yeah, now courage, wisdom and love are 876 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,920 combined, and this is the true power is this sword. 877 00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:04,040 It's the Elias triangle or whatever. 878 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,360 That was another point in which the dub and the sub completely 879 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,480 conflicted because and it was just one word missing. 880 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,280 But in the like dub and original version, or in the sub and 881 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:20,040 original version, they say that wisdom, courage, and love are 882 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,600 not effective on the earth, are not effective on their own, but 883 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,680 that together they are strong. And in the dub, for some reason 884 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,240 she just doesn't use the word not. 885 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,600 It's like you just completely flipped the meeting here. 886 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:39,840 Why did you do? This we have a a moth powerful 887 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,120 sword. Who gets that sword? 888 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,160 Velvera, strongest blade in the world. 889 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,680 However, it is so fragile as to shatter when handled by any 890 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,000 force other than the delicate touch of a lesbian. 891 00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:00,160 My favorite drill tweet. So back in the past, Mothra cuts 892 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:05,360 off one of Ghidorah's tails and present Ghidorah like falls over 893 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,960 and this tail like starts digging itself into the ground. 894 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,920 And I was like, oh that's going to come back later. 895 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,960 So Belvera has full hearts right now. 896 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,360 And what that means is when she's when she slashes the 897 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,240 sword, a beam comes out and she like attacks the the Dome trying 898 00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:25,320 to make an exit with it. There's just a lot of Zelda in 899 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:26,160 this movie. I don't. 900 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:26,800 Know much? Yeah. 901 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,480 Well, for. For a sake of time, head, come 902 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:34,320 out by now so you know, Yeah. Yeah, but also like this was 903 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:38,520 very clearly a Sega funded on some level of Sega, like 904 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,760 sponsored movie and yet tons of Zelda references. 905 00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:47,040 Right, so meanwhile, Ghidorah has started, like, tearing 906 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:52,840 Mothra's wings apart and burning him, and we are just going back 907 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,440 and forth from past to present. Yeah, Laura wakes up, Shoda 908 00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,800 tells her to support Mothra, and she's like, all right, I know 909 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,840 exactly what to do. Start singing immediately. 910 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,240 This wakes up Mothra in the past, having you know, just 911 00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:09,480 been, you know, beaten half to death by this Ghidorah. 912 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,120 He starts hitting Ghidorah with his golden powder and then like 913 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,480 lifts Ghidorah up and just dunks him into the nearby volcano. 914 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,200 Literally eats him right into the volcano. 915 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,960 This is what is this a Tekken game? 916 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:31,680 Ghidorah in the in the present falls down like into the Dome, 917 00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,680 like almost crashes into the children, but disappears from 918 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,280 the timeline just in time because that Ghidorah is dead. 919 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,320 The kids are freed from the Dome. 920 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,400 Everyone's so happy to not be digested. 921 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,000 Showed his parents find their way there and showed tells the 922 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,760 siblings, oh it was Mothra. Mothra went back in the past and 923 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:57,200 saved us and everybody's like breathing a sigh of relief at 924 00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,360 this point. Belvera and Laura go to Mole's 925 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:05,360 body in this little pond, but then he goes to the past and 926 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,960 Mothra is basically dead from the volcano blast like gave his 927 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:15,200 life to to kill Ghidorah. But then this Mothra larva from 928 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,600 the past. I I wrote Primordial Mothra. 929 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,320 You know that it's a dime. Out of the forest. 930 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,080 Mothra because it has armor plates. 931 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,800 Yeah, it's not slimy, it's just got little spikes. 932 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,440 Yeah, but they they all crawl out of the forest and they start 933 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,440 making a cocoon around Mothralea. 934 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,400 And so they go back to the future. 935 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,880 And Belvira's like, you know, I think it's kind of weird that 936 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,440 we're all still here, being that all that stuff happened in the 937 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,040 past. I don't think that any of this 938 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,200 should be happening, right? Point there is like, OK, they're 939 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,520 trying to play with time travel stuff and there's this like this 940 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,840 is happening at the same time at in the past as it is now, so. 941 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,960 Oh no, I've gone cross. So are we in a separate 942 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:55,560 timeline? Oh. 943 00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,440 Shit. But The thing is, Belvera 944 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,360 shouldn't have said that because she's in a movie. 945 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:06,600 So Ghidorah shows back up because it regrew from that tale 946 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,320 that buried itself. Ghidorah never fucking died. 947 00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:14,360 That's right. The kids start getting warped 948 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,040 away again. Which, you know, if you're one 949 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,000 of those kids that's got to suck so much. 950 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,080 Like you finally get out of this giant stomach and you go right 951 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:28,080 back in. Yeah, and like for for some of 952 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,520 the kids, like Choda's parents are helping the kids get out, 953 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:32,800 like go back through the wind tunnel. 954 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,520 Some of the kids are in their arms and get like, spirited 955 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,640 away, like from their arms, which has got to be terrible, 956 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,800 Belvera tells Laura. Like, look, it's up to us now. 957 00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,920 It's just us. And look, we may not agree all 958 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,720 the time, but I've got you all right. 959 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,280 Like we got to get. There you do. 960 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,080 That's what we're like. Not a great You tried to 961 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,320 genocide people twice now, Belvira. 962 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,680 I tried to kill people, not destroy the planet. 963 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,400 That's a difference. Like this magnitude by. 964 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,520 The way going to point out like continues to tie back like to 965 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,800 where like Belvira is almost more of like a Batra fairy 966 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,760 analogue because her whole time her shit has been humans fuck 967 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,520 this place up. What if we get rid of them, 968 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,160 right? What if that's what's better for 969 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,720 the planet, but when the chips are down and the whole planet is 970 00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:27,440 on the line, it's like, just to remind you all, like now I'm on 971 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,960 the good guy's side. Like when she was fighting the 972 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,400 child earlier. Not Belvedere. 973 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,040 Laura was fighting the child earlier. 974 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,360 She's like, you can't kill him. You'll start the end of 975 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,320 everything or something like that. 976 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,960 I was like you tried to start the end of everything twice. 977 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:41,120 Now you. Know it's different. 978 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,920 It's different. Only I get to do that. 979 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,040 It's different when like a good aligned fairy does it right. 980 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,800 Like, yeah, you're going to have like a a. 981 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,400 You're going to cross the moral event horizon and have like a 982 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:54,920 breakdown when you get back to normal. 983 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,320 We can't have that. That's right. 984 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,680 So they fly off on fairy because it's up to them. 985 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:06,600 Now Belvera does say a line in in the sub here that is a little 986 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,920 odd because she basically is like kindness becomes more 987 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,640 powerful when you realize your capacity for anger. 988 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,360 Yeah, which? Is like quite the idea, but 989 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,800 yeah. Well, in the dub version, it's 990 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,840 basically a version of Fuck the paradox of Intolerance, Destroy 991 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,400 Evil, Get rid of it. Kill you? 992 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:26,640 Yeah. Also good. 993 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,480 Right. It was like, yeah, no, I'm there 994 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,360 with you, sister. So Mothra emerges from a cocoon 995 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,280 that it's been placed in by those ancient larva. 996 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,200 It's been there for millions of years. 997 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,880 It you know, it does like a Oh well now I'm behind you 998 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,800 situation. Yeah. 999 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,360 Like, has it always been that? Always. 1000 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,960 Has, but like Mothra now has. Like this armor that I guess 1001 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,680 it's formed over millions of years. 1002 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,160 Like there's silver parts all over it. 1003 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,160 And now that they Mothra and Ghidorah start fighting in the 1004 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:04,840 air and Mothra like sideswipes Ghidorah's wings like cutting 1005 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,840 half of one of the wings off. Like Mothra's really dangerous 1006 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:09,920 now. Yes. 1007 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,520 And at this point, Mothra finally learned after three 1008 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,200 movies maybe I should be metal sometimes when fighting fire 1009 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:16,720 things and I won't get set on fire. 1010 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,920 I really do feel like. It's weird because Metal bug 1011 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,920 would be 4 times weak to fire I think. 1012 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,360 Yeah, it would, Yeah. I just think it's funny because 1013 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,840 I feel like the theme of this movie is like how I learned to 1014 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,080 save the world through the Power of Love, Chapter One. 1015 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,600 The Power of Love, Chapter 2, The Power of Incredible. 1016 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:41,920 Violence. But yeah, like the Ghidorah, 1017 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,560 after having its wing cut off like Mothra, like swoops back 1018 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,280 around, just runs Ghidorah through completely. 1019 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,600 It does. The cool like shinobi slash 1020 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,920 super sentai thing where like Mothra's past him, he looks 1021 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:59,000 back, then Ghidorah looks at him and then starts to disappear and 1022 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,040 it's like it's just so dramatic but they're too Kaiju cut. 1023 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,120 Them like an onion it would be. It would be so much more 1024 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,680 dramatic if they were people like expressing and saying 1025 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,840 things, but like they're these two giant Kaiju suit slash 1026 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,960 animatronics who have the same basic expressions but they still 1027 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,480 trade looks. It's so good. 1028 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:17,960 It's great. It's. 1029 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,920 Yeah, and having done that, Mothra's armor, like, starts to 1030 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:23,760 dissipate. Basically, could serve its 1031 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:29,280 purpose At that point, Yep. Mothra tells Belvera and Laura 1032 00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,360 that they need to go hand the sword to Mole because the sword 1033 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:37,360 can revive her. So then so they they hand this 1034 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,080 sword to Mole and then Mothra does some mole magic and Mole 1035 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,800 gets revived, which I honestly thought Mole was just going to. 1036 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:48,080 Stay ahead but. You know, Mothra thinks Shota 1037 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,440 for his help. And Belvera's like, all right, 1038 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,240 well, we're still not going to agree on everything, but I had 1039 00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:55,800 you this one time. OK. 1040 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,800 Bye. It's pieces out and. 1041 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:02,400 It was very much a mood of like the sisters finally accepting 1042 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,480 their lesbian sister, but like you can come to Thanksgiving and 1043 00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:13,920 Christmas, try to not act too. So the the kids all start to 1044 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:18,080 emerge from the forest and now it gives you the idea that 1045 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,920 there's like 3000 children. Yeah, I think this was like 1046 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,720 composited children because, like, there were definitely some 1047 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,960 double s I saw in that crowd a little bit and. 1048 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,120 Seeing the children coming over the hill, I was like, oh God, 1049 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,440 that's terrifying. Yes, it is. 1050 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,520 But yeah, Shota and his siblings like, reunite with their 1051 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,120 parents. And honestly, it was a little 1052 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,560 weird to me. The difference between them, 1053 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:47,320 them greeting Tomako and and Chuhe and them greeting Shota, I 1054 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,760 don't know, because he like stayed back a little bit and 1055 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,240 they looked like they had like conflicting emotions to see 1056 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,520 their son. Like the respect and glance from 1057 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,840 a distance that you normally see in action movies towards 1058 00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,960 different, you know, protagonists of said action 1059 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,760 movie, except they're like 2 feet from each other. 1060 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,120 And also, it's parents and kid. Like, right? 1061 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,160 You can't. You can't just give your 1062 00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,320 autistic son the like the upward nod. 1063 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:16,440 You know the. Yeah, yeah. 1064 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,400 So everyone reunites and the twins fly off on ferry and then 1065 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,240 Mothra flies off and that's the end. 1066 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,120 That's it. This was surprisingly concise 1067 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:27,760 for an ending of one of these movies. 1068 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,880 Like and complete and complete, I will add as well. 1069 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:35,160 Like no grand statement, new question ending. 1070 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,960 It was like it just ended like it was. 1071 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,920 It had a it was summed up and then ended. 1072 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,840 It's a movie. That doesn't have like a blatant 1073 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,560 like particular theme, right? Which is one of the wildest 1074 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,040 things to me because Rebirth of Mothra is like the the 1st 2 1075 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:56,840 movies were so on the nose. And this movie doesn't really 1076 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,840 set out like this. Doesn't feel like Martha One and 1077 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,840 two felt like they started with, OK, we want to do like an 1078 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,400 environmentalism story, right? And then like worked out 1079 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,520 villains based on that and worked out their story and their 1080 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,480 characters and everything to like tell a child's version of 1081 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,480 that story. This feels like they started 1082 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,400 with like, we want to tell a story and we're going to have a 1083 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:23,280 couple of, like, characters and relationships to build off of. 1084 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,320 And it turns out there's a reason why we tend to do it that 1085 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,920 way when we write stories. Right. 1086 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,640 It's so wild, it's funny to see. So this is actually I missed. 1087 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,520 This is something I was going to talk about before the Plot 1088 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,880 Summary and I forgot to but this movie went through like many 1089 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:48,480 Godzilla movies, some changes. So the original plan they knew 1090 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,840 from the beginning they wanted like a fire based enemy so and 1091 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,120 they wanted to do time travel. So the original plan was to 1092 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:59,520 actually have Rodin as the villain and do and do like a 1093 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,280 time travel plot back to like medieval Japan right? 1094 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,480 And like fight. Fight like a younger Rodin, like 1095 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:12,400 in medieval Japan, and then. The idea was like, well OK, but 1096 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,560 like King Ghidorah is just a cooler villain and we didn't 1097 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,960 technically do King Ghidorah, we did desk Ghidorah. 1098 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,680 We did like the spin off. So like what if we dust off 1099 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:27,840 because because they have been planning for ever since the 92, 1100 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,400 I think it is Godzilla versus King Ghidorah. 1101 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:35,680 They've been planning this idea of what if we did the real King 1102 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,600 Ghidorah, right. What if we brought in the actual 1103 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,400 like from outer space motherfucker and said that the 1104 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,360 90s King Ghidorah was some knockoff bullshit that that got 1105 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:52,040 like copied off of the real one and and now he's here and it's 1106 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,200 kind of neat to see them like they they finally get the chance 1107 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,520 to dust off this idea of like we're going to do the real King 1108 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,920 Ghidorah. And it's also just very funny 1109 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,800 that it made its way into a time travel movie. 1110 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:06,520 So now we've had a second King Ghidorah time travel movie. 1111 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:11,600 It's a weird association to make if I had a Nickel for Every time 1112 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:15,480 only twice. But it's weird, it's happened 1113 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,840 twice. The other thing I want to point 1114 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,760 out, because I didn't mention it during the movie, is like Garu. 1115 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,120 Garu has been great throughout the trilogy, but in this one he 1116 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,200 has real freaky little guy energy, like he's making all 1117 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,400 these noises. He sounds practically like a 1118 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,320 Pokémon and like it was the most endearing thing. 1119 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,120 Like he was fun in the 1st 2:00, but this one he was like he was 1120 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,400 just a little. A freaky little guy. 1121 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,640 He's also like the most clearly not a living thing in this 1122 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,880 anymore. From the fact where it's like he 1123 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,160 gets stuck and she like kicks him and it like turns on random 1124 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:48,280 functions like you. It's like, oh, this is a parts. 1125 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:52,320 More like biological, sure, but this is a this is a machine. 1126 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,600 This is the equivalent. Of this point, he's a Cyborg 1127 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,560 more than like at that's the closest. 1128 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,400 He is little dragon. Buddy is a motorcycle. 1129 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,360 That's what he is. You think about that, though, 1130 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,840 like she ran him into the ground. 1131 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,440 Yeah, she did. Like he was a living dragon. 1132 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,240 And now was he? He's like a motorcycle that 1133 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,040 won't start. I mean, we don't. 1134 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,280 Know really from the first time we see him. 1135 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,280 Remember, he gets like blown open in the first movie and he's 1136 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:22,520 all robotics inside, right? Or he's he's so like we don't 1137 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,880 really know which way he started. 1138 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,640 But he sure does get patched up like a cheap auto mechanic like 1139 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,400 Job where they just slap. Parts, yeah. 1140 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,880 And maybe it would make more sense if she had to make her 1141 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,640 own, since she was not chosen to have. 1142 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,920 Barry And that's another thing, is like if she was meant, as we 1143 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,840 talked about in the first episode, if she was meant 1144 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,240 originally to be like a Bachelora fairy, she might have 1145 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,600 had her own little steed. But instead she's just one of 1146 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,600 the three who, you know, found out she was gay and went off to 1147 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,560 a different state. She moved to the West Coast and 1148 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,160 you know. If this teaches me anything, 1149 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,280 this trilogy is that I want a Belvera origin film. 1150 01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:06,960 Yeah, with the original. More Belvera. 1151 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:08,920 All of this. Let's fucking go. 1152 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,000 Yeah, let's. Do it Easily The best character 1153 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,600 of this entire 80s, nineties run of movies. 1154 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:21,080 Yes, it's so good watching this because like, I've seen 1155 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,080 basically every movie like we're we're ever going to cover on 1156 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,640 Castle Bravo. This is one of the rare ones I 1157 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:32,440 have so little memory of because this movie, very famously like 1158 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,960 the first two rebirth of Motha movies, came out in the West on 1159 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,200 like a DVD dual pack that was not hard to get a hold of. 1160 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,520 And for some fucking reason, Sony never brought the third one 1161 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,280 over. So all they did was they 1162 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,000 licensed it to sci-fi and it would begin airing on sci-fi, 1163 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,760 you know, but like, that's it is it would occasionally air on the 1164 01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:59,000 sci-fi Channel. It didn't actually hit the West 1165 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,480 in any other format in any like home video or on demand until 1166 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:09,200 the 20 tens. So like, I saw this once as part 1167 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,720 of a marathon with the 1st 2 movies and I was homesick. 1168 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,600 So that tells you how well I remember most of this. 1169 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:22,760 And yeah, like it's just wild to realize, like how fucking much 1170 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,160 better this movie is in the first two, how much it like like 1171 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:31,880 like you said stormy. It kind of like justifies. 1172 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,680 Maybe not. Maybe justifies is too harsh of 1173 01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,760 a word, but like, it does very much like redeem the last two 1174 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,760 movies. You know, retroactively. 1175 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:44,640 It's a really good it's my favorite probably version of 1176 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:49,120 Ghidorah so far. Yeah and it's easily like these 1177 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,000 are my favorite, some of my favorite Kaiju films. 1178 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,520 I think just because I really like the straightforward 1179 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,920 narrative, the hero's story and like that's The thing is like 1180 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,720 Mothra more or less is always been like considered this kind 1181 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,560 of heroic or anti heroic character, never really a 1182 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:09,440 villain and so like to get this trilogy of like wandering Ronan 1183 01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,800 almost filmed. Yeah, it's a good call out 1184 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,040 actually. Like I just. 1185 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,320 I love that. And like while I like the first 1186 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,240 one, don't really like the second one and loved the third 1187 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,160 one. I think them is a complete 1188 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,080 story. Having Belvera's arc, in all 1189 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,560 seriousness, like all of the, like, the twins and Belvera have 1190 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,800 such a strong arc through the three films. 1191 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:30,560 Like, I think that's actually really cool. 1192 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,320 Or even to see how they work with these kids versus how they 1193 01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,240 worked with kids in the other two films and how like what 1194 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:36,760 they've learned and how they're like. 1195 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,960 I didn't expect to get that kind of a through line. 1196 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,640 I just was thought it was going to be more explosions and 1197 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,640 monsters. But like, there was actually an 1198 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:48,040 emotional arc with the fairies and I I really liked that a lot. 1199 01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,800 Yeah, absolutely. Like, the first two were fun 1200 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,080 movies. They weren't exactly good, but 1201 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,960 they were fun. This one was still fun, but this 1202 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,240 one was actually good and I think honestly make the other 1203 01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,760 two better in Retrofit. For sure. 1204 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,680 And it's also like it's it's so interesting because all I can 1205 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,080 see now seeing that this is basically for all intents and 1206 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:11,080 purposes the same crew that did the first movie. 1207 01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,640 It's very like, and again, same writer has done all three. 1208 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:22,440 Like, to me, what this tells me is that it was Tanaka, like very 1209 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,800 intentionally deciding that he wanted to make movies aimed at 1210 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:32,640 like very young children, right? And like, call that a good or a 1211 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,040 bad choice, right? Because we're not very young 1212 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,280 children. We're not the target audience 1213 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:44,600 that that Tanaka as producer and writer like was aiming at, but 1214 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,760 the movie that comes out of Mothra 3 where everybody 1215 01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,240 involved kind of starts to aim back towards a more general, 1216 01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:57,760 like still family friendly but a more general going audience just 1217 01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,440 turned out a a significantly more mature movie. 1218 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,400 Not in terms of its content necessarily, but in terms of how 1219 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:09,760 it handles its emotional themes and and and like how it was like 1220 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,640 the care that was put into it. Yeah, yeah, This movie fucking 1221 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:14,840 rips. Yeah, yeah. 1222 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,240 This movie rules. Yeah, I have a question for 1223 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,000 Charlotte. Since you tend to always give us 1224 01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,480 like the what was the message stuff in these episodes? 1225 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,360 Because I don't have one. Do you have a clear message for 1226 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,120 like what they were trying to say with this film? 1227 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,760 Because I I don't see it here. I have some theories, but like I 1228 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,640 really don't see what. Faith in other people. 1229 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,120 OK, yeah, because it was. About It's a story about Shoda 1230 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,000 breaking out of his shell, and about trusting Belvera at the 1231 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,000 end. So. 1232 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:43,960 That's good. Yeah. 1233 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,600 Actually, I'm. Angry how easily You just shot 1234 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,240 that out there right now and I'm just here like you are. 1235 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,800 That's it for that. Yeah, that's it. 1236 01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:52,560 You got it. Yep. 1237 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,800 You're right that the confidence and the immediacy, no. 1238 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,840 And the the other theme is just, It seems to be because it's 1239 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,000 mirrored between not just like the twins and their older 1240 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,920 sister, but also the three kids and parents. 1241 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:08,120 Is just kind of Just because you may be an outcast doesn't mean 1242 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:08,720 you don't. Belong. 1243 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:13,080 Yes yes very much wants to intentionally focus on the idea 1244 01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:17,160 of like it is important for family to embrace each other and 1245 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,960 support each other. Like regardless of conflict, 1246 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:27,800 which you know coming from 4 queer you know podcast, you know 1247 01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:30,680 people at the moment like is a thing. 1248 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,319 I really wish more family actually embraced. 1249 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:40,000 But yeah, God damn this movie. This is a good one. 1250 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,560 It yeah, this one's going to stick with me. 1251 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:46,200 I really enjoyed this. If if one of these was going to 1252 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:50,200 be truly good in its own right, like this was the one that that 1253 01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:53,080 needed to be. Yeah, I'm glad it was the. 1254 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,040 Last, imagine if the first one had been this good, and then two 1255 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,760 and three had been like goofy bullshit, right? 1256 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,520 Yeah, that that would have been disappointing, but this is, this 1257 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,680 was a good kind of climax to end the trilogy, yeah. 1258 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,319 Yeah, I mean, this is not only just a good movie and a good 1259 01:09:08,319 --> 01:09:11,600 movie in this trilogy, but I think puts Mothra at a higher. 1260 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,200 I have always liked Mothra, but like this secures. 1261 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,000 Mothra is one of my favorite Kaiju characters and this is one 1262 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,520 of my favorite Kaiju films. Like, it's so different from a 1263 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,640 bunch of the other ones that I really love, but I'm OK with 1264 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,279 that, right? Especially having just seen 1265 01:09:25,279 --> 01:09:29,439 Godzilla -1 a few weeks ago. This is so the opposite of that, 1266 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,240 and yet still feels as equally Kaiju. 1267 01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:37,279 Important, I guess, to put it. And like, yeah, I really, I dug 1268 01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:39,399 it. I'm so glad that this ends on 1269 01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:41,439 such a strong note. I need. 1270 01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,319 Yes you do. Yes, you absolutely fussy. 1271 01:09:44,319 --> 01:09:46,600 Do. I came out of that theater and 1272 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,240 like Charlotte will attest, I was just immediately in like, 1273 01:09:50,359 --> 01:09:55,360 Galaxy brain mode. Just staring off the space, My 1274 01:09:55,480 --> 01:09:58,160 entire personality. Yeah, just breaking everything 1275 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,120 down piece by piece. Like because this is what I do 1276 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:02,800 with movies when I walk out of theaters. 1277 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,440 I was waiting for him to be like, okay, so we're going to 1278 01:10:06,440 --> 01:10:09,080 shoot an episode about this tomorrow. 1279 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:10,000 No, right. Yeah. 1280 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,160 And just shelve it, I'm thinking. 1281 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,280 In fact, like, unfortunately, some of the things I'm thinking 1282 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,200 of might put it even further down the road. 1283 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:18,680 But I got. I got to talk to Charlotte about 1284 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,520 that stuff inside baseball. I will. 1285 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,960 But I love movies like that, where you end up walking out and 1286 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:26,960 you're just like, I'm completely changed as a person. 1287 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,320 Because like, even recently Barbie did that to me a little 1288 01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,160 bit, like as stupid as that is to say, And I know that. 1289 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:33,480 Was a great fucking movie. That's. 1290 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,880 Attached themselves a lot more to a huge message there, and 1291 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,360 it's Greta Gerwig. Of course there's going to be 1292 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,280 mother issues popping up, but it's just one of those things. 1293 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,840 Like somewhat jokingly but also not jokingly. 1294 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,920 I am just in. The good ways. 1295 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:52,680 In the good ways. I think one last thing that's so 1296 01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:58,120 interesting to me right, is it's it's kind of difficult to talk 1297 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:02,800 about this and not acknowledge that this came out in the same 1298 01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:08,880 year as the infamous like 98 Godzilla, which was May, So it's 1299 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,560 like half a year apart. This movie would have started 1300 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,640 production before Godzilla 98 released, before we had any way 1301 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,520 of knowing quite how badly audiences would react to that 1302 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,560 movie. So this movie releases, we have 1303 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:27,720 no way of knowing what Toho might have done. 1304 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:33,320 You know, had the 98 Godzilla been a different movie, right? 1305 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,200 Had the 98 Godzilla been better or just better received? 1306 01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,640 I'm I'm trying to be fair because I haven't seen it in 1307 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,880 ages. So I want to like save my energy 1308 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,720 for next episode. But would we have gotten more 1309 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,880 Mothra? Would would they have tried 1310 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:53,000 something brand new, like, you know, we don't know they 1311 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,600 intended to leave Godzilla alone as long as the Sony movies were 1312 01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:00,280 making money because they thought they'd get multiple and 1313 01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:01,920 they clearly didn't happen, right. 1314 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:06,120 So it. Would be a many many years until 1315 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,120 then. Especially since they won't be, 1316 01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:09,360 you know, showing up for that one. 1317 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,800 I have to say I'm one of the I actually. 1318 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,040 Yeah. Like, I know it's not great, but 1319 01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,160 it's one of those that I still every once in a while, I got a 1320 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,560 yeah. I got introduced to fellow 1321 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,440 fellow A certain point of view member Case Aikens show another 1322 01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:32,360 pass through their episode on Godzilla 98 and like I think 1323 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,960 that's a really good episode and I do think like listeners go 1324 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,840 check out another pass and specifically the Godzilla 98 1325 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:43,240 episode. It did soften a lot of my long 1326 01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:48,120 built up like resentment towards the 98 Godzilla and I tried to 1327 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,120 tear apart like the fanboy walls of like I don't like this thing 1328 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,560 because it's different. I've I've worked really hard on 1329 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:58,000 breaking that down but Godzilla's Godzilla's in it. 1330 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,440 Like, again, are Shin Godzilla episodes gonna get me in trouble 1331 01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:04,160 with the fandom? And it's it's only worse now 1332 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,800 that I've seen -1. I hate to break it to you folks, 1333 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,760 but. But no, I always loved the that 1334 01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,200 kind of stuff. So I'll I'll definitely have to 1335 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,560 check out that episode. I I just really enjoy. 1336 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:18,400 I get really excited when like Cinema Wins Per SE puts up a 1337 01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:22,880 video on a movie that I did not like like OK, let me find a new 1338 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,160 appreciation for. I probably still won't like it, 1339 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,960 but I can appreciate some things that I was busy. 1340 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:33,280 Yes, yes, I am excited as a much more emotionally mature person 1341 01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:38,320 you know and and to come back to this movie that I don't think 1342 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:46,080 I've seen since 98 you know and and really like re evaluate how 1343 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:49,680 it is on its own. But yeah it's just it is so 1344 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,120 interesting to me. We will never know what might 1345 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:56,120 have come after Rebirth of Motha 3 because like spoiler alert, 1346 01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,440 Godzilla 98's not well received and Toho immediately turns 1347 01:13:59,440 --> 01:14:02,880 around, revokes the rights and makes Godzilla 2000 instead, 1348 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:09,440 which I also saw in theaters so. But Godzilla 2000 was the first 1349 01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:11,960 Godzilla movie I saw in theaters. 1350 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,800 Toho Godzilla movie that I saw in theaters, I saw Godzilla 98 1351 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,520 in theaters as well. I've probably not seen it since, 1352 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,880 and so I don't. I just remember all of my 1353 01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,040 friends being mad that Jimmy Page worked with Puff Daddy and 1354 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,800 I was like, but who cares? Like, I mean, Puff Daddy's Puff 1355 01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:29,920 Daddy's a problem for a whole other host of reasons now, but 1356 01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,800 like, but like, who cares? Like, I don't know, I liked rap 1357 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,480 rock a lot. And ironically, so like it did 1358 01:14:35,480 --> 01:14:36,080 meant it. You. 1359 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,480 Were fucking at all the mid 2000s then hell. 1360 01:14:39,480 --> 01:14:42,160 Yeah, pretty much, pretty much. I still like. 1361 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:46,520 But, but, but I do. I do think, well, I don't always 1362 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,080 watch the movies that you guys cover before I listen to the 1363 01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,680 episode for Godzilla 98. I might just because I don't. 1364 01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:56,080 Also, I think it's been a long time, multiple decades since 1365 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:57,360 I've seen it. Because it's been a couple 1366 01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,160 years. So I'm definitely, I wanted. 1367 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,560 I wanted that to be the season, the Season 3 finale for a 1368 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,280 reason, so. Yeah, that makes sense. 1369 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:09,560 But yeah, I mean, does anybody have any, like, last things they 1370 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:13,520 want to say about Rebirth of Mothra 3 beyond just fucking? 1371 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:15,840 Good. All of the costume designs are 1372 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:18,440 so fucking good, minus the dinosaurs. 1373 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,280 But the other costume designs, hey? 1374 01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:23,480 The monster seats are good. The fairies. 1375 01:15:23,480 --> 01:15:27,080 The fairies, like dresses, are super ornate and super 1376 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,960 interesting. The the dress again, like I 1377 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,440 brought up how even like through the family's clothes, they tell 1378 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:40,000 like a story of poverty. The fucking New York Yankees 1379 01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,520 cap. All of the design was on point 1380 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,640 and just the I said it a little bit before, but I cannot 1381 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,800 emphasize how many times throughout our watch, both me 1382 01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:53,720 and my fiancee were like, damn, that shot was really good. 1383 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,880 That Dolly Zoom was incredible or this music is amazing. 1384 01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:01,080 Like there was a lot of love put into this one that might have 1385 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,200 been put into the other two had they been given more time. 1386 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,320 But after the success of those, glad they were. 1387 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,920 Yes. And that's that's been like my 1388 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:09,480 experience going back to Godzilla. 1389 01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:12,160 Like, all the way back to. I mean, everyone knows the first 1390 01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,120 movie's a masterpiece, right? But like, even going back to the 1391 01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,840 first movie, like most of my time with Castle Bravo has been 1392 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:22,440 spent going like holy shit. For as much as we socially. 1393 01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,760 And even I remember them as like B movies. 1394 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,840 When you take them seriously and look at them as works of art and 1395 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,920 like craft, and you look at the production design that goes into 1396 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,880 them, like you see the work that gets put in. 1397 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:40,120 And like, I'm, I'm going to go ahead and say it for the first 1398 01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,280 time. Like I do think there's a lot of 1399 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:47,200 casual racism involved in in how we look at these movies and take 1400 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:52,200 them so unseriously. I will 100% agree because like, 1401 01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,480 you see the same thing with like Bollywood films up until 1402 01:16:54,480 --> 01:16:57,200 recently with like RRR and things like that. 1403 01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,960 Like people would watch Bahubali and like kind of laugh at the 1404 01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:01,400 funny special effects, that kind of thing. 1405 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,880 But also there's like human stories being told there. 1406 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,480 And if you take a second to kind of slow down and just appreciate 1407 01:17:07,480 --> 01:17:10,320 what's going on, no matter what you might think is goofy, just 1408 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,520 because you're not used to it can really appreciate just the 1409 01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,760 more underlying seriousness and just through art of that. 1410 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:20,680 You look at like the craft that's being done on minuscule 1411 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:24,280 budgets compared to what Hollywood gets to do and often 1412 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:26,920 times looking better. Despite that, I keep saying the 1413 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:32,320 the 90s Godzilla movies have better like night sequences in 1414 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:36,720 terms of like visibility and and selling like visuals at night 1415 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:40,360 than fucking anything in modern Hollywood, you know? 1416 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,320 Absolutely. Yeah, I think that's also 1417 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,720 something that Godzilla -1 is doing now is like reminding 1418 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:50,880 people that when the masters are behind the wheel again, they can 1419 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:52,360 make something that's just craft. 1420 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,320 And like I've heard so many normies, I know, for lack of a 1421 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,360 better term, like folks who don't, I don't always hear 1422 01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,320 talking about Godzilla obsessively, like everyone on 1423 01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,120 this call that, like they're talking about Godzilla and how 1424 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:04,480 it was their favorite movie of the year. 1425 01:18:04,480 --> 01:18:06,800 And so that's huge. Like, even when Godzilla 2000 1426 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,800 came out, though, it was one of the more larger received 1427 01:18:11,480 --> 01:18:13,720 American releases of a Godzilla film. 1428 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,680 I don't think it's anything compared to, like, the way I've 1429 01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:20,760 heard people buzz about -1 and I'm really excited for that kind 1430 01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,320 of stuff. And like like watching a film 1431 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,880 like this in a trilogy like this, it reminds me that as 1432 01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:29,320 goofy as this stuff is, they can still pull some really 1433 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:30,960 incredible stuff. And I just want to speak to the 1434 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,440 music again one more time. Because besides the first film, 1435 01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:36,600 which I think is a flawless score, this is some of the best 1436 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,720 music I've also heard in a Kaiju film. 1437 01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,920 Just because, like we, like I said, we get hero themes with 1438 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,240 Leo in a way that we didn't really get with a lot of other 1439 01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:45,160 Kaiju. And I love that. 1440 01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,440 I love that kind of like Super Sentai and like very Japanese 1441 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,480 anime kind of hero themes grew up on Dragon Ball Z like they 1442 01:18:52,480 --> 01:18:56,480 were very much in this trilogy, Dragon Ball Z moments, and Leo 1443 01:18:56,480 --> 01:18:59,520 is very much the Goku, the underdog who gets back up. 1444 01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,320 And I love that about these films. 1445 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,520 And I think it's really cool to see a series of films that get 1446 01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,120 to do that, and then we still get other takes on these 1447 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:11,240 characters forever and ever. But I like this Isolated 3 movie 1448 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,000 version. That's just really interesting, 1449 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,240 yeah. Absolutely. 1450 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,280 And I like seeing that contrast between like just, you know, the 1451 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,760 Godzilla versus Kong and the Godzilla -1 where people can 1452 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,480 appreciate both. And I'm glad that people are 1453 01:19:22,480 --> 01:19:24,960 starting to realize that Godzilla is ABS. 1454 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,240 Both where it's, you know, these serious melodramas about the 1455 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,960 human condition and also cool ass fucking fights with a big 1456 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,200 monkey. Godzilla's always been like the 1457 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:39,040 movies have have jumped around in terms of tone and and like 1458 01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,280 seriousness. You have your original 1459 01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,840 Godzilla's, you have your, you know, Godzilla versus Mothra. 1460 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:48,480 That's like a very serious movie about like you know capitalism 1461 01:19:48,480 --> 01:19:52,040 and exploitation, right. You have your Godzilla 84's, 1462 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,600 things like that. But then, like sometimes 1463 01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:58,960 Godzilla does a sliding dropkick on his tail and and fucking 1464 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,560 dropkick's a a big beetle and it's great. 1465 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,080 And I love them both. And I'm glad people are starting 1466 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,440 to love both, but also appreciate both for the. 1467 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,280 Yeah. That, that, that there is like 1468 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,320 you get to have all of this energy. 1469 01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:17,040 It's all correct. So, yeah, well, I believe that's 1470 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:20,480 a wrap on this episode. Thank you all so much for 1471 01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:23,040 joining us on our journey so far, Jason. 1472 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:25,120 You got anything you feel like plugging for our listeners? 1473 01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,360 Well, first I just want to say thank you for having me trilogy 1474 01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:30,920 episodes.

And yeah, go take a look. 1483 01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,880 Let me know what you think. I enjoy constructive criticism 1484 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,280 or just hey, fuck you.

I, you know, I loved doing that 1491 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,680 Jet Jaguar movie. It was very straight and, you 1492 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,600 know, no queerness in that movie, very heterosexual movie, 1493 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:36,680 very normal movie about two men who were just friends, just 1494 01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,840 friends. But it was a blast to do that. 1495 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,880 And I'm glad when you asked when I asked to come back on or bully 1496 01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,320 you to come back on, as I like to do for most of the shows, I 1497 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,800 love that you said yes.

Like I was watching a fucking 1515 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:36,000 Hassan video where Hassan talks about getting like the the Black 1516 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:40,040 Plague from PAX East 2020 and it's like I infected Hassan 1517 01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,840 Piker. I'll. 1518 01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,320 Have to make it out of PAX East at some point because like, I'm 1519 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,040 here in Ohio, I'm not that far off and I would love to, you 1520 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:50,000 know, meet some of you guys.
