Episode 75 - It's our 75th episode... which we almost forgot to bring up in the episode because we were so focused on Shin Godzilla (2016). Shin Godzilla is another Japan release and Toho's response to the success of the American Godzilla (2014). It has a unique storyline that sees Godzilla evolve and change from a sea creature to a fully grown Godzilla. The crew is all over the place for this one and can' t find much to agree on. There is talk of the look of Godzilla, the effects, the political storyline, and the heavy amount of subtitles. Tune in for this, and let us know your thoughts. Next week we finish Godzilla month with Godzilla Minus One (2023), and we also find out what Marco is bringing us for next month's theme.email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com

It's a 1998 time capsule day. Join Alec, Erik, and first time guest Zach "Coconut" Pena as they discuss the first American Godzilla film. It has everything, Matthew Broderick in a beret, Hank Azaria playing an Italian stereotype, and honestly, a sympathetic look at a giant killer lizard. Enjoy!

Today on the 5: The most recent Monsterverse film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire recently hit digital release, but I somehow missed it up until this weekend. I jumped on it as soon as I realized I could, and it ended up being exactly what I wanted out of an American Godzilla movie. 

Only being available to watch on Paramount Plus streaming in Japan, I took a flight to the country and ordered one months subscription, to be able to bring you this review. Is it worth the hype? It certainly is. The writing and development of the human characters wipes the floor with the (often excellent) modern American Godzilla franchise, the cinematography, effects and score are magnificent and the story packs a real wallop.

For this month's Curse of the Rewatch Cory and Che revisit the first American Godzilla, Roland Emmerich's 1998 disaster starring Matthew Brodrick.

So what do you do with a sequel to "Godzilla vs Kong"? Put them up against two new monsters of course, but not without some scraping of their own first. Co-host Alex Ulaky and I were admittedly not too excited for a sequel to another American Godzilla movie, especially after 2023's Japanese Godzilla film, Godzilla Minus One, which was not only better than every American Godzilla movie, but one of the best films of that year. Still, does Godzilla x Kong offer enough dumb CGI monster action to justify another entry in this middling universe?

Week #3 - "Low budget, big box office" We survived Godzilla Minus Color in 4DX. In our third challenge we discuss the latest Godzilla film's profit, it's chances at The Oscars, and we compare it to the American Godzilla. 

Leapin' lizards! Everyone knows Godzilla is the King of All Monsters, but what this episode pre-supposes is... maybe he's also the King of All Media? With a new Toho Godzilla film in theaters, an American Godzilla movie coming in a few months, a Godzilla-related TV series streaming on Apple, and the big guy fighting the Justice League in the pages of DC Comics, Godzilla fans are, as they say, eating. After seeing Godzilla Minus One twice each, Jesse and lifelong Godzilla fan/expert Nathaniel sat down to talk about the overall state of the monster. 

On the newest episode of Comics and Chronic the guys talk Godzilla Minus One! But first why isn't Cody jazzed on drinking? Is Cody weird for wanting to party with his boss? Did Godzilla stand on Business? How was the score? Is this better than American studio's version of Godzilla? Was this movie Spielberg-esque? Were all the characters lovable? Is this the break in our discussing mad scientists? Was the scientist's plan absurd? What was Godzilla's atomic breath like? Should the love interest have died? Did the limiting of Godzilla's presence throughout the movie give his sightings more impact? What is the smartest thing Cody has ever said? How did his spikes move with his atomic breath? Would Kong or American Godzilla get washed by this Godzilla? Did Dark Beast Cody make an appearance? Is Japan about that radioactive life? Was Godzilla originally a villain? Was he a metaphor for unchecked nuclear power? How does the sense of responsibility play into this movie? Is this a good look inside of Japanese culture? Does Jake know Studio Ghibli? Was Godzilla doing wonton damage? What is Anthony's Kenny G life hack? Does the G in Kenny G stand for Godzilla? Is this our favorite Godzilla movie?

Welcome, welcome! On this episode we're talking about the Toho release Godzilla Minus One, but there will be plenty of talk about the American Godzilla movies and Kaiju films in general. If you haven't seen the movie, there are lots of spoilers so make sure you see it during its limited release.

We're discussing The Daily Wire's new movie Lady Ballers (2023) premiering December 1, Christmas plans, Godzilla Minus One (2023) versus the American Godzilla films, and the Marx Brothers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Luke Brown and Lily Edwardes-Hill get together for a stimulating exploration of Shin Godzilla (Hideaki Anno & Shinji Higuchi, 2016), the first Japanese Godzilla film since 2004, and a considerable financial and critical success: it was made for 15 million and grossed 78 million whilst also winning the equivalent of Japan's Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director. The podcast discusses how it differs from the American Godzilla films; how it may be seen as a response to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami and the subsequent Fukushima nuclear disaster. The conversation explores how the film fits into the Godzilla canon and how it departs from it, arguing that narratively it mainly shrugs off the canon but nonetheless cites it with visual references and particularly through its use of music. Luke and Lily discuss the meaning of the film's title in Japanese and why the English translation was ultimately rejected as a title for international release. Luke argues that it is a film about Tokyo and about Japan and that in this iteration there is a return to Japan as a place and as a people with, ultimately, a belief in the establishment and the ability of the people to deal with disasters; a film that is very aware of Godzilla's past and present and also that of Japan, one with unique attributes, but also exhibiting a return to themes of climate change and nuclear technologies missing in a lot of recent reiterations of the character. There is, of course, also a discussion of CGI, models, etc. A podcast worth listening to.

We're approaching the end of our Size Matters double month, but not before we talk about the three Monsterverse movies featuring our big chonky boy: Godzilla (2014), Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla Vs Kong. We're not going too deep into any of these, but we are pretty positive on this take 2 version of an American Godzilla. Next week, we say goodbye to Godzilla with 2016's Shin Godzilla.

After the critical failure of the first American Godzilla in 1998, Toho revoked the 3 picture deal and decided to revive G the traditional way. The results were the first of the Millennium Era, Godzilla 2000. Was this better than the 1998 American Zilla? Join us with Charlie Umana, Joe Stark, and Kyle Decker to find out!

Godzilla has taken many forms over the decades. Hero, villain, avatar of human hubris, and anti-hero. But one that can get overlooked, is cell shaded. Hana Barbera studios gave us classics like Scooby Doo and Huckleberry Hound, but in the late 1970's they also gave us the first American Godzilla. Join us and guest Jason Prevatte as we take a look at 5 episodes from this old cartoon and see if it is a semi hidden gem.

In this episode we rant and rave about the worst adaption of Godzilla ever to crawl out of a Hollywood management boardroom (The 1998 adaption of Godzilla featuring Matthew Broderick and half the cast of The Simpsons) and we eventually rate it's many pet qualities. We ask the key questions:Is it ok to take the God out of Godzilla?Exactly how does a giant lizard sneak up on things?What do you do if you keep losing your city destroying monster?He's pregnant from birth...? That's quite advanced thinking for 98!And... should we be testing more natural disasters for pregnancy?What does a "404 Godzilla not found error" mean and how do you avoid it?

Season 2 starts off with a bang as Nick, Andrew, and Brendan gather to discuss the unmade 1994 script for an American Godzilla film, as adapted into an online comic in 2015! Don't be fooled by the esoteric subject matter- there's a lot to say about the origins of the Monsterverse (real or speculated) in this one! Plus, The Prophecies of Rossio-damus, the Line That Should Not Have Been, Godzilla '94 and '98 as therapy for the screenwriters, the Darkest Godzilla Timeline, and much more!Graphic novel: http://americankaiju.kaijuphile.com/american-godzilla94/Script: http://www.scifiscripts.com/scripts/GODZILLA.TXTIntroductions - (1:19)Welcome to Season 2 - (3:26)Farewell to Ruby - (5:53)Synopsis - (7:09)Opening Thoughts - (14:47)Parallels to Other Godzilla Films - (18:04)Story & Characters - (27:22)Monsters - (46:48)The Ending - (1:26:46)Final Thoughts - (1:37:01)Next Time... - (1:45:07)Listener Feedback & Where to Find Us - (1:45:35)Sign Off - (1:51:02)https://twitter.com/gforcekaijupodhttps://www.instagram.com/gforcekaijupodhttps://www.facebook.com/gforcekaijupod

In this first or possibly third episode of an untitled podcast, we're taking a look at four American kaiju flicks: Reptilian, Godzilla (1998), Godzilla (2014), and Godzilla vs. Kong. What begins as a series of reviews devolves into a screed against modern Hollywood moviemaking.

Listen to this preview to hear clips from the first two episodes of season 2! In this season of G-Force, Andrew, Nick, and their friends will be embarking on a journey to watch and review every episode of Godzilla: The Series! (Alongside our usual Random Number Generator movies, of course!) But before that, they'll be discussing Godzilla '94, the graphic novel adaption of the unused script for TriStar Pictures' original version of their Godzilla movie, along with Godzilla (1998), and the treatment for TriStar's scrapped Godzilla 2!https://twitter.com/gforcekaijupodhttps://www.instagram.com/gforcekaijupodhttps://www.facebook.com/gforcekaijupod

When Toho made the deal with Tristar for the first American Godzilla movie, the Heisei era was supposed to end sooner than it did. Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla 2 was meant to be the final film in the series, but stall outs in America forced it to continue on. So does this originally intended ending work? Join us with Joe Stark and Chris Edwards to find out!

Matt (@TheRealMattC) and Jacob (@Jacob_deNobel) finish off their Big-G coverage with the fourth and final episode of their Godzilla series. Listen to their takes on the much-maligned 'Zilla from Roland Emmerich's film, hear them try and determine which of the Legendary series best captures the Big Boy, and thrill as Matt argues that Shin Godzilla is the best Pokemon movie of all time.

Since 2014's American Godzilla reboot, Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros and Toho have been slowly building up their combined “Monsterverse,” set to end in a climatic rematch between Godzilla and King Kong. It would be the rematch of the century, coming 59 years after they first crossed paths in 1962's King Kong vs Godzilla. In a world where mega-franchises and CGI spectacle is king, how could a crossover this big fail? Despite the warm critical and box office reception of Godzilla and 2017's Kong: Skull Island, 2019's Godzilla: King of the Monsters was a huge flop with critics and audiences, leaving the future of the franchise in question. Does this epic crossover, Godzilla vs Kong, step up its game to deliver the type of crowd-pleasing spectacle audiences have been clamoring for throughout the pandemic, or have the goliaths fallen out of favor with fans due to uninteresting human characters? The Cinematropolis co-founders Jacob and Zachary Burns rejoin host Caleb Masters to get the answers by reviewing HBO Max's latest day of theatrical release. This episode isn't just about giant apes fighting nuclear charged lizards, it's also a showdown between the Calebs, Caleb Haldane vs Caleb Masters. For the first time since […] The post Godzilla vs Kong – The Cinematic Schematic Review appeared first on The Cinematropolis.

The hype has finally lead us to this moment. After two Godzilla films that bored Dirk, we now have Godzilla vs Kong. Did Dirk actually enjoy this one? Was it better than the original? Will Dirk now have an American Godzilla film that he can comfortably recommend? These answer may surprise you. Also in this episode, we talk about the disastrous release of Outriders. However, Stev took the time to give this game a fair shot and can give his honest impressions. Hint: he likes it more than Borderlands. Meanwhile, Dirk will be going over why he refunded Solasta after having so much excitement from what the game promised. Follow us on facebook.com/arrogantmedia

Hello Horror Heads!  We're celebrating the Easter season and Godzilla vs. Kong season by talking about the infamous American Godzilla remake from 1998. It has eggs... That's all. 

The third of our four-part arc about the Legendary Entertainment monster franchise brings us to the famous and infamous American Godzilla movies. What happens when you get a $100 million budget to make a giant lizard movie but decide it's not really what you're interested in making? What about when you cast Matthew Broderick but he's lost his Bueller-cool? Maybe the solution is to bring in the most talented television actor of the new millennium? No, let's kill him. What if we bring in some of the Stranger Things cast and all the old Toho studios Kaiju? Now we're cookin' with box-office gas.

We're back with the recent movies in the American Godzilla reboot. Polarizing between fans and critics, we have some strong opinions on these too. We also added our second TV series to the list in this packed episode. Can it take the TV mantle from Avatar? Shouldn't be too hard but listen to find out.

Topic: Godzilla Movies Review   This week, we watched a giant Lizard smash a building… lots of buildings in fact.  And lots of Lizards too.  I think a few had wings even… so many monsters, so little time.  But a fun time at that, lots of it!  And both mom and me would agree that they’re a lot of fun.  So we’re back with two American Godzilla, and the most recent live action Godzilla from Japan.   Godzilla (2014) Directed by: Gareth Edwards Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson as U.S. Navy EOD LT Ford Brody Ken Watanabe as Dr. Ishirō Serizawa Elizabeth Olsen as Elle Brody Juliette Binoche as Sandra Brody Sally Hawkins as Dr. Vivienne Graham David Strathairn as Admiral William Stenz Bryan Cranston as Joe Brody Monsters: Godzilla Muto (Male) Muto (Female) This movie felt like a proper disaster movie, but at times, it doesn’t feel like a movie, more like we were following a narrative and series of unfortunate events. Almost like a found footage piece. Depictions of Japan, of the fictional city Janjira, were very comical. Rather than looking like a suburb of Japan, it looks like an American suburb with Japanese aesthetics. They even driver cars on the left side of the car, which is typical of America.  While Aaron Taylor-Johnson may be a decent actor, he felt very disposable in the film. At the time of Casting, Elizabeth Olsen hadn’t been cast as the Scarlet Witch in the MCU yet, but her role felt fairly disposable as well. Looking at the role now, she’s only memorable because this was what she was in prior to the Marvel movies. Ken Watanabe always adds gravitas to a film he’s in, especially in this case of Godzilla. Godzilla is talked about and seen sporadically in the film, but major brunt of destruction is from the Muto monsters. Godzilla has a proper fight at the end of the movie. While critics praised the tone and direction, many criticized the under developed characters, lack of thematic depth, turning Godzilla into a secondary character, and insufficient screen time for the title character. Japanese critics liked the film, but felt the same way. Toho  liked the film so much, they decided to reboot the series with Shin Godzilla.     Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019) Directed by: Michael Dougherty Starring: Kyle Chandler as Dr. Mark Russell Vera Farmiga as Dr. Emma Russell Millie Bobby Brown as Madison Russell Bradley Whitford as Dr. Rick Stanton Sally Hawkins as Dr. Vivienne Graham Charles Dance as Alan Jonah Thomas Middleditch as Sam Coleman Aisha Hinds as Colonel Diane Foster O'Shea Jackson Jr. as Jackson Barnes David Strathairn as Admiral William Stenz Ken Watanabe as Dr. Ishirō Serizawa Zhang Ziyi as Dr. Ilene Chen Monsters: Godzilla Mothra Rodan King Ghidorah And many more, including King Kong Unlike the 2014 Film, this one felt more like a Movie than the last. Perhaps it’s the bigger sets and more sightings of Godzilla. It was nice to see some of the cast from the 2014 Godzilla return. It’s a shame Ken Watanabe’s character was killed as the film leave the possibility of a third Godzilla movie in the near future. Nice to see Bradley Whitford in work. American Critics were not impressed by the film, remarking that the script was ‘laughable’, the monster battles were either too numerous or boring, and that the film was paper thin with no real drama.     Shin Godzilla Directed by: Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi Starring: Hiroki Hasegawa as Rando Yaguchi, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary. Yutaka Takenouchi as Hideki Akasaka, Aide to Prime Minister. Satomi Ishihara as Kayoco Anne Patterson, Special Envoy for the President of the United States. Film used the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake/Tsunami & Fukushima Daiichi nuclear Disaster as inspiration. Film is considered political, mostly in the sense that it’s a scathing depiction of Japanese bureaucracy and its politicians. Often seen as trying to manage the in pending fall out, rather than trying to manage the actual situation, and tied up in various meetings. Did very well in Japan, winning 7 Japanese Academy Prize, including Picture of the Year and Director of the Year. Laughed at multiple points from hearing the ‘Decisive Battle’ illusions being made during the planning phases. The song is from Evangelion (1995) anime, directed and created by Hideki Anno, is used at multiple points throughout the film. Can see lots of allusions to Evangelion, though as a Evangelion fan, I might be more hyper aware than most.

Godzilla   A giant sea creature, that walks on its back legs, shoot radioactive breath/laser from its mouth, and vaguely looks like a dinosaur, and no I’m not talking about mom.  We begin our talk on Godzilla, and learning about the nearly 50 year old King of the Monsters.  Another series mom may have a greater affinity for than even me.     Kaiju – Literally meaning “Strange Beast”, the term originated for just about any mythological creature or monster from Japanese legends, but after opening up its boarders to the west, the term has also meant any legendary creatures that exist outside of Japan as well.    In Modern terms, we use the term Kaiju to reflect creatures of science fiction or fantasy that are relatively the size of Godzilla, multiple stories tall creatures.  Western example can include King Kong, Monsters from Power Ranges, namely and inspirationally, from Pacific Rim.  Even Steven Spielberg got inspiration for Jurassic Park from Godzilla and other Kaiju movies.   Godzilla is considered the first Kaiju movie.     History   Debuting in 1954, and created by Toho, in his own self title film, Godzilla has been a fixture of Japanese and American media for nearly 70s years.  Though no official individual is the one that birthed the creation of the creature, he was initially intended to be an allegory for Nuclear Weapons as seen by the Japanese.  Others have likened Godzilla to the United States, as a terrible beast awakes from its slumber to take vengeance on Japan.   Despite his first film of being the villain, later films would actually see him being an Anti-hero and possibly a protector of humanity, along with being a less serious and more campy.  As time has gone on, Godzilla has faces other kaiju and had a rotation collection of villains and enemies in which were trying to destroy humanity.    Toho Co, the company that created Godzilla, is previously well known for Kaiju and Tokusatsu(Japanese special effect films) films, but also release many directed by Akira Kurosawa, along with the anime films of Studio Ghibli.  They also work with other anime companies to get their movies released in to theaters.   Eiji Tsuburaya, the individual in charge of special effects for the first Godzilla film, developed the technique that would be called ‘Suitmation’.  This was the act of creating latex/rubber suits for actors to wear and become the monsters.  This was further developed by shrinking the sets down to miniatures, to give the scale to the actors in the suits.  The camera was then placed low to the ground and filmed at double speed, to get the aspect of the Monsters as being huge, but also create smooth movement as the actors moved slowly in their costumes.  Special Effects were then substituted with Puppetry or other models to give the effect of swinging tails or mouth movements.  Even as CGI has become more prevalent in the Japan, Suitmation is continuing to be used on certain levels, with the suit actors doing motion capture to film the actions and translate them to CGI.     Characteristics Original Japanese name was Gojira, from combining the two words Gorira (Gorilla) and Kujira (Whale) in Japanese. It later Romanized into Godzilla upon appearing in the west.    Inspired by Ray Harryhausen’s film ‘The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms’, Godzilla was conceived as a reptilian, sea creature, loosely based on the concept of dinosaur.  He has various spiked plates along his back, which is the source of his power in some films. His body’s texture is said to be based off Keloid scars that were often seen on survivors form Hiroshima.  While initial seen as green in comics, cartoons, and on movie posters, Godzilla is actually charcoal grey.   Godzilla’s signature weapon is his Atomic Breath, a beam of nuclear energy shot out like a laser from Godzilla’s mouth.  Godzilla is also known for his physical strength and muscularity, along with being amphibious.  He is shown to shrug off conventional weaponry thanks to his rugged hide and his regenerative abilities that allow him to heal from injuries quickly.  As a result of his strength, the only things that can otherwise hurt Godzilla are creatures of similar stats/quality to Godzilla.   Originally, Godzilla was portrayed as being 165ft tall in the original Japanese version, which would have made it so it could peer over the tallest building in Japan.  It was later rescaled higher in American dub of the film, up to 400ft tall, to give it proper size according to the American Producers.  It was later scaled up to 330ft in Japan, which was to continue the intention of making it so he wouldn’t be dwarfed by Japanese high rise buildings of the time.  His size would continue to grow as later movies in the 2010 started to come out, with the creature eventually becoming 985ft tall in ‘Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters’(2017).     Films Godzilla has appeared in 32 Japanese films, dating back to 1954.    Showa Era (1954 – 1975) His initial 1954 appearance portrayed Godzilla as an invading force of nature.  However, later films in the era would portray him in a more comical and slapstick light, as the films were largely aimed at families and children.  Still, this period ended up spawning additional movies for some of Godzilla’s featured rivals and allies, leading to more movies that weren’t necessarily staring Godzilla.  This is where we see Godzilla fight: Rodan Varan Mothra King Ghidorah Mecha-Godzilla   Heisei Era (1984 – 1995) The series took a break from 1975 until 1984, but returned with ‘The Return of Godzilla’.  The reboot tended away from the Showa Era, and instead made Godzilla a force of destructive nature once again. The new series kept a singular timeline of events between its movies, acting as a direct sequel to each other.  Many of the earlier villains were brought back once again.  In 1995, the character was killed, seemingly ending the Godzilla Franchise.   American Godzilla (1998) In 1992, TriStar Pictures acquired the rights to Godzilla, with the intent on creating a trilogy of films based off the Japanese creature.  The original script would have stayed true to the Japanese origin of the creature, as a monster mutated by atomic bombs.  However, disagreements over the budget of the film caused the original director to leave, with Roland Emmerich coming in to direct.  Fresh off of Independence Day (1994), Emmerich wanted total creative freedom, as he wanted to ditch a lot of the origins of the Japanese Godzilla.  Oddly, the budget for the film would be about the same as the original pitch’s budget.  Emmerich moved away from a Dinosaur being bombard with nuclear energy and instead turned it into an iguana instead.  The film was widely panned by critics and fans, who has come to see the original version and not the Emmerich version of the character.  The following two planed films were canceled, and instead developed in to an animated series, which held up much better with fans than the film.   Millennium Era (1999 – 2004) Largely seen as the backlash against the American Godzilla(1998), the Millennium Era of Godzilla sought to bring back the character to glory and show the Americans how it’s done.  Unlike the Heisei series, each film is considered stand alone film, with no direct relation to one another, outside of the original 1954 film.  Sadly, outside of the first film in the Era, most of the films were not well received, as the Godzilla formula was becoming stale and old to Japanese and American markets.  After the 2004 film, Godzilla: Final Wars, which saw the return of various monsters from the Showa Era, which capped off 50 years of Godzilla, the character was quietly put on hibernation.   Godzilla (2014) Initially set to be a short 40 minute film, Legendary Pictures decided to create a full film instead, barrowing much more of original Godzilla canon, and differentiating it from the 1998 film.  Much of the original 2014 American film deals with two other Kaiju, and purposefully leaves Godzilla out of much of film until the very end, in order to build up hype.  The film was very well received, which prompted a sequel ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong set to come out in March 2021.   Reiwa Era (2016 to present) After an early screening of Godzilla(2014) to its Japanese creators, Toho praised the American Godzilla, and sited it as the reason to bring Godzilla back to Japanese media.  To bring back Godzilla, they brought in Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuichi, the creators and mastermind of Neon Genesis Evangelion(1995) anime, to create the film.  With Anno creating the screen play and script, and Higuichi coming on as special effects director.    The new series entitled Shin Godzilla, would focus more on the recent natural disasters of Japan, rather than the atomic bombing of its earlier films, and also focused on the failure of the Japanese government, which was a concern amongst Japanese after the 2011 Tsunami.    The film was a success and later films are slated for release, but due to the shared nature of the series with Legendary Pictures, plans have been put on hold for any new film.  Three additional CGI films were later produced between 2017 and 2018 feature Godzilla, and were exclusive to Netflix.     Major Antagonists   King Ghidorah – Considered Godzilla’s archrival. Rodan – not too dissimilar from a pterodactyls, he serves as one of Godzilla enemies, and in comes cases, ally. Mothra – Basically a giant Butterfly King Kong – the third movie was based off their fight. Mecha-Godzilla – A mechanical version of Godzilla, in one case, made from the Skeleton of Godzilla.

In May of 2014, Hollywood unveiled its second attempt at an American Godzilla movie with Gareth Edwards' Godzilla. As it turns out, the movie wasn't really about Godzilla, but instead it focused on his two new foes. But are the MUTOs at least worthy adversaries to Godzilla? Or does this movie die along with Bryan Cranston's character?

Ohhhhhh no. They say he's got to go. Go, go, Godzilla.... No, seriously, this Godzilla has got to go. This week Eric and Alex tackle the first American Godzilla film, and boy we have some mixed feelings on it. To help us sort out our feelings we bring on two very special guests, our wives. And just like the movie, after about 20 minutes in, this podcast goes off the rails.

This week, we abandon a going away party for one of our best friends and risk our lives to rescue a friend on the other side of town after watching Cloverfield! Along the way we'll go over the Cloverfield movie cast and how they thought they were auditioning for a sitcom, talk about the Cloverfield ending and future, and give our Cloverfield rating. In addition, we take a look back at the tumultuous history of the production along with the many name changes, how this film is just another movie where Manhattan and New York is destroyed and how Cloverfield really became a pioneer in the found footage genre. Cloverfield Movie Cast We were surprised to learn that the casting was carried out in secret despite not having A List actors at the time and during auditions, the prospective cast members were given scripts from JJ Abrams' television shows like Lost and Felicity. TJ Miller as Hud In one of his early film roles, Miller doesn't exactly show off his comedic chops but proves he can perform well in an ensemble cast and serves as the film's narrator/camera operator until he's killed by the mysterious monster (possibly chopped in half?). Lizzy Caplan as Marlena Prior to Cloverfield, Caplan was well-known from her role in Mean Girls but really branched out when taking on this film. While Sean may not have liked her character, she softened herself to the audience during intimate moments with Hud, she's unceremoniously killed (maybe even the most gruesome death) before the group has a chance to escape. Michael Stahl-David as Rob While David is more known for roles in television (Narcos, The Deuce) this was another one of his early roles. Sean and Chris did feel like Rob was a tad irresponsible in dragging his friends and brother to rescue his one-time hookup through a city being ravaged by a giant monster (didn't really work out for any of them now did it?). Odette Yustman as Beth Mike Vogel as Jason Jessica Lucas as Lily Cloverfield Production Challenges Producer JJ Abrams was inspired to make Cloverfield after a trip to Japan and seeing how popular the Godzilla films were and wanted to give an American Godzilla to movie audiences. We think a Godzilla reboot would've just been easier at that time in Hollywood history. Of course we got that eventually anyways. (Check out our episode and review on Godzilla: King of the Monsters if you haven't gotten a chance) While the film was initially titled Cloverfield, the film underwent several name changes following the hype following the debut of the first trailer. Titles such as Cheese, Slusho and Greyshot were considered before the filmmakers returned to Cloverfield for the final name. It can be inferred that these names were chosen to just throw people off, like many studios and filmmakers do these days. Filming took place on opposite ends of the United States with most of the exterior shots actually shot in New York City and many of the action scenes filmed on the Warner Bros backlot in Los Angeles. Speaking of New York City... Hollywood's Love for Manhattan and New York Destroyed in Movies While researching Cloverfield, Chris came up with a list of films that have featured the destruction of New York City including (but not limited to): Independence Day The Day After Tomorrow The Planet of the Apes Marvel's The Avengers Godzilla (1998) Ghostbusters I Am Legend War of the Worlds A.I.: Artificial Intelligence There are plenty of other films out there that we didn't list as well that show New York destroyed in movies. Why the portrayal of the destruction in Manhattan so much? We think it's simply just due to the fact that New York has an iconic skyline with incredible skyscrapers. Hollywood does seem to be trending away from destroying Manhattan though, in favor of locations like Los Angeles, London, and even our home city of Chicago a bit. Cloverfield's Place as a Found Footage Pioneer

Godzilla: 1998 with Betsy Sodaro, the "American" Godzilla

Cities are crushed and the seas boil as Josh & Ryan clash in a titanic battle over whether or not Godzilla King of The Monsters is the best American Godzilla movie ever made or the better...est(?) American Godzilla movie ever made. Oh yeah, and we watched some other crap too https://twitter.com/MightyMoviePod Listen on iTunes- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mighty-movie-pod/id1132383248?mt=2# Listen on Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/3WUkbIBjLxEYZHXheepjau Listen on Google- https://bit.ly/2HVna9i Listen on Soundcloud- https://soundcloud.com/mightymoviepod Listen on Stitcher- https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=94351&refid=stpr

Godzilla has returned and is now the King of the Monsters. The Godzilla from five years ago came in a little light on the giant monster action. Does the sequel up the mayhem more or are we looking at yet another crappy American Godzilla movie? Our weekly horror reviews are Lifechanger, Reign of the Supermen, Death Line, Ravenous, The OA Season 2, Ferocious by Jeff Strand, and All Hallows by W. Sheridan Bradford.

It's the weekend release of the new Godzilla King of the Monsters, and of course, the Leftover Army Monsters is here to cover it! The 3rd installment of what is called the Monsterverse is here! As a Godzilla fan, I don't get to see many of these movies in the theater, so when it DOES happen, I will always be there. With the tragedy that was the 1998 American Godzilla, the public is always weary about Godzilla on the big screen. And of course, everyone is going to be reviewing this movie, from the experts to the newbies. So LOM is here to give all perspectives in one episode! Join us and special guest Jesse Candelori as we tackle this new Titan of a movie!

This podcast is gonna send us back to the stone age! In 2014 Gareth Edwards, coming off the success of his beloved micro-budget film debut, Monsters (2010) was tapped to re-adapt Godzilla for American audiences after the disastrous 1998 adaptation. In this film Godzilla comes to San Francisco to battle two insect like monsters known as M.U.T.O.s (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism). Co-starring with the big green monster was Brian Cranston fresh off of Breaking Bad, and Aaron Taylor Johnson of kickass fame, this film re-invented the world famous kaiju and set up an entire cinematic MonsterVerse. In this episode we discuss the different eras of the Godzilla series, how this film ties to Kong: Skull Island (2017), the Toho Japanese reboot Shin Godzilla (2016), and we discuss the unmade American Godzilla that was to be released in 1994.

This week, the Leftover Army Monsters are traveling to a place of despair. We are walking into the back alleys of the kaiju genre, all the way back to 1999/2001 for a joint Korean/American movie called Yonggary/Reptilian. With the rising use of CGI effects, and the financial, NOT critical success of the 1998 American Godzilla movie, these people decided to make this shameless cash grab. But is it as bad as I am saying, or does it traverse into the "so bad it's good" realm? Only one way to find out, so grab your bad blue screened jetpacks and join us as we dive into this smelly kaiju armpit.

Talking the 1998 American Godzilla flick. Here is, what I call, "An Old Man Orange Presents," episode.

In a very special edition of Catching Up On Cinema, Kyle and Trevor sit down to discuss the merits (and faults) of the two American Godzilla films... As well as the entirety of the Godzilla franchise cause Trevor is a super fanboy and can't help himself lol.

Twenty years ago one of the biggest monster movies ever arrived – Godzilla! This American monster film was directed and co-written by Roland Emmerich, serving as a reimagining of Toho’s Godzilla franchise. It was the first to be completely produced by a Hollywood studio, essentially “American Godzilla”. During a nuclear test in the 1960s, the French government inadvertently mutates a marine iguana nest; years later, a giant lizard makes its way to New York City. Dr Niko Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), an expert on the effects of radiation on animals, is sent by the U.S. government to study the beast. When the creature, dubbed “Godzilla” by news outlets, emerges, a massive battle with the military begins.

Steven and Ross tag along with the Brody Bunch and hunt down some MUTOs as they discuss 2014's franchise revival Godzilla - the second American Godzilla feature, and the first in Legendary Pictures' MonsterVerse. Four years on and in the midst of a genre renaissance, how does Gareth Edwards' film now fare? Tune in now!

From June 30-July 3 of 2017, Godzilla suit actors Haruo Nakajima and Tom Kitagawa were featured guests at the Days of the Dead convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is the panel Q and A with the two actors from the convention. Unfortunately, this would also become one of Haruo Nakajima's final interviews and his final convention appearance. The two men answer questions about how they got involved in suit acting, working in the suits, working with miniatures, their thoughts on the American Godzilla films and more! With the clearance from the Days of the Dead con, KT is proud to present this panel discussion with two legendary kaiju performers! Listen and enjoy! Special thanks to Nick Adam Poling and Jonathan Crocetti for providing the audio, Christopher Marti for his post production work, and Corey Hannigan for translating at the panel! DISCLAIMER: The audio for this is a little rough, as the convention did not have a proper set up to accommodate some of the recording hardware. After a lot of post-production work, we are presenting it in the absolute best quality we were able to get from the elements available.

The five core Casters are together and alone for once, lol. Most of us gush about how much we love Kamen Rider Lazer Chambara Bike Gamer Level 3, and pretty much Kiriya in general. We discuss the proper debut of Zyuoh Bird and the reveal of some Zyuland history, and rounding out the last week of Zillavember, we talk about the 1998 American Godzilla film, or as it should be known, Leo Bloom and Most of The Simpsons Save Manhattan From Two Giant Iguanas.    Casters Present:  Red Blue Pink Yellow North  Required Viewing: Kamen Rider Ex-Aid 7,  Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger 38,  Godzilla (1998) YouTube Version: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpJb4mVIVbc]

Chris and Sean return from a self-imposed hiatus talk about the penultimate film of Kaiju Movie Month, Godzilla (2014). The film is the first entry into the Godzilla/King Kong shared cinematic franchise and it introduces a newer, shorter Godzilla. It follows Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Bryan Cranston as they try to stop the MUTOs with the help of Godzilla. It's a lackluster first entry into a new American Godzilla franchise but was met with critical acclaim.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked. The new intro and outro music is Wovoka's "Lament", and big thanks to them for allowing us to use their song. You can also subscribe to the Kulturecast on iTunes here. Also, don't forget to check out our official Facebook page for news, upcoming reviews, contests, and new content along with our Patreon page.
