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

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?

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.

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.

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.

The Force Fed Sci-Fi Movie Podcast

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.

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 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.

Hey out there all you Godzilla fans! Welcome to the third episode, of the Tokyo S.O.S. podcast. This episode, we cover the direct sequal to "Gorjia", "Godzilla Raids Again". With that being said, we have some good news and some bad news. the good news is that we manage to keep this episode under an hour. We at the Tokyo SOS podcast are really proud of this. The bad news is that the reason we were able to do that is becuase we didn't have much to say about the movie. In fact, what we did have to say was pretty much bashing 70% of the movie. So you have been warned For all those who want to send review to us about the movie we are reviewing, the next one is the 1998 American Godzilla movie as we will be having special guests on. You can send those review along with fan mail to tokyosospodcast@gmail.com. Remember that you also can find the show on Itunes by serching "Tokyo SOS", so please find us there and leave us Itune reviews.
