Case and Sam are joined by Nic Woolfe to stomp like a kaiju (stomp stomp stomp)! We're digging into the Monster-verse with "Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)"! Overview In the podcast discussion titled "Another Pass at Godzilla King of the Monsters," the hosts, alongside guest Nic Woolfe, delve into their personal connections to the Godzilla franchise, reflecting on how nostalgia and earlier influences shaped their appreciation for Kaiju films. They analyze the 2019 film's financial performance, placing it within the context of the MonsterVerse, and offer praise for its visual elements, character portrayals, and emotional depth. The conversation touches on the film's themes, such as the insignificance of personal problems against global threats, and critiques the marketing strategies that may have contributed to its underwhelming box office results. The hosts discuss scientific inaccuracies, potential improvements, and casting alternatives, asserting that while the film has its flaws, it remains enjoyable. They conclude with suggestions for future explorations within the franchise, including their next episode focus on "Highlander 2: The Quickening." Notes Introduction and Personal Connections to Godzilla (00:00 - 10:59) Hosts introduce guest Nic Woolfe for their fifth episode together Discussion of personal connections to Godzilla franchise Nick's love for Kaiju came from Power Rangers, Rugrats' Reptar, and later access to classic Godzilla films The hosts establish they all genuinely enjoy the 2019 Godzilla film Movie cost between 170-200 million but only made 387 million, falling short of the $400 million target MonsterVerse Context and Prior Films (10:59 - 21:41) Discussion of 2014 Godzilla film directed by Gareth Edwards as the MonsterVerse starting point Brief mentions of Kong: Skull Island as part of the MonsterVerse Sam shares her family history with Godzilla, particularly her mother's love for monster movies Case discusses the 80s-90s Godzilla marketing push in Western media MonsterVerse is praised for continuing to improve since the 2014 film ️ Visual Elements and Character Appreciation (21:42 - 32:54) Praise for Ghidorah being portrayed as a hurricane with lightning everywhere it goes Discussion of the elemental nature of the Titans: Ghidorah (wind), Godzilla (water), Rodan (fire), Mothra (earth) Appreciation for the film's use of mythology and inclusion of Mothra's twins Strong praise for the cast including Charles Dance, Bradley Whitford, Ken Watanabe Discussion of the emotional scene where Serizawa sacrifices himself Themes and Human Elements (32:54 - 42:52) Comparison between Godzilla: King of Monsters and other Godzilla films including Shin Godzilla Discussion of the family storyline involving Mark and Emma Russell Analysis of the theme that 'it's bigger than you' - problems being insignificant compared to global threats Appreciation for the resolution provided for human characters Commentary on the film's emotional resonance and how it saved Nick during a difficult time Critical Analysis of Marketing and Casting (42:52 - 52:52) Discussion about why the film didn't perform as well financially as expected Analysis of movie title 'King of the Monsters' being reused from the 1950s Suggestion that 'Rise of the Titans' might have been a better title Critique that the film lacked young, attractive lead characters that might draw wider audiences Observation that the film needed more explanation of the various Titans/monsters Scientific Inaccuracies and Improvement Ideas (52:53 - 01:02:28) Criticism of the 'alpha male' science regarding Titans as outdated Suggestion that more monster battles would have improved the film Discussion of effective scenes showing the scale of monsters compared to humans Praise for Ken Watanabe's sacrifice scene and emotional impact Analysis of how the film's marketing could have better emphasized human perspective shots Marketing Critique and Casting Alternatives (01:02:28 - 01:13:52) Proposal that more monster explanations would have helped broader audience engagement Discussion of how modern trailers often reveal too much compared to effective ones like Independence Day Suggestion that Sally Hawkins' character shouldn't have been killed early Idea that Charles Dance could have played Tom Hiddleston's character from Skull Island Commentary on how the film might have benefited from younger actors in certain roles Final Suggestions and Conclusions (01:13:52 - 01:24:43) Discussion about whether including Kong would have helped the film commercially Suggestion to better explain the costs and benefits of Titans to the ecosystem Proposal for including anti-Titan lobbyists or weapons manufacturers as antagonists Overall conclusion that despite its flaws, the film is still highly enjoyable Guest and host contact information shared Announcement that next episode will cover Highlander 2: The Quickening Action items Unassigned Watch 'Godzilla Minus One' while it's still available on Netflix

Tom Hardy is back for one final(?) turn as Venom. How does this film stack up against the prior two? And are these movies just Godzilla movies in disguise?
How does American housing stack up compared to other countries, specifically in terms of full-blown housing communism or free market Japanese housing Nirvana?

En el episodio de hoy de Baseball News, abordamos un tema candente que podría cambiar el rumbo de los Yankees: 1. Munetaka Murakami en la mira de los Yankees: El poderoso slugger japonés, Munetaka Murakami, podría ser el próximo gran fichaje de los Yankees. Con 56 jonrones en 2022 y una Triple Corona en la NPB, Murakami ha sido comparado con leyendas como Hideki Matsui. Aunque su defensa en tercera base es cuestionable, su versatilidad le permite jugar en primera base y en el jardín izquierdo. Los Yankees, con un vacío evidente en la tercera base y sin una solución inmediata en su sistema de ligas menores, podrían ser el destino ideal para Murakami una vez que sea posteado por los Tokyo Yakult Swallows al finalizar la temporada 2025 . 2. Otros titulares destacados: Francisco Lindor conecta un elevado de sacrificio para que los Mets dejen en el terreno a los Medias Blancas. Anthony Volpe impulsa la victoria de los Yankees sobre los Angels con un doblete clave. Shohei Ohtani inicia el juego con su jonrón número 19 de la temporada, liderando a los Dodgers sobre los Guardians. Jackson Chourio y Andrew Monasterio impulsan a los Cerveceros en su triunfo ante los Medias Rojas. Manny Machado conecta un jonrón clave en la octava entrada y los Padres dejan tendidos a los Marlins en once entradas. Keider Montero brilla desde la lomita en la victoria de los Tigres sobre los Gigantes. Kevin Gausman lanza ocho sólidas entradas y Daulton Varsho conecta un jonrón en el triunfo de los Azulejos sobre los Rangers. #MunetakaMurakami #Yankees #MLB #BaseballNews #ShoheiOhtani #FranciscoLindor #AnthonyVolpe #MannyMachadoConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/con-las-bases-llenas-podcast-de-beisbol--2742086/support.
That song reminds me of that special time with that special person. Music often takes us back to a moment of our life that we love to revisit. Jovial Jay and Shua share some of their favorite albums and why they love them on Enjoy Stuff. Wipe off that vinyl and sharpen that needle because it's time to spin some tunes. Let's check out some of our favorite albums. News Steve Martin Writes the Written Word Collected Written Works by Steve Martin (thanks to Jonathan) A new Kong x Godzilla Ride has been announced for a theme park far, far away. Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra have a new album and it's pretty jazzy' RIP Norm…or is it Fat Sam… or maybe just the legendary George Wendt Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been revisiting the funny pages with the complete collection of Berke Breathed's Bloom County. This classic comic strip was a staple of the 80's and spotlighted important political and social issues while selling stuffed penguins. Jay joined in the fun of so many Star Wars fans when he experienced Andor season 2. The storytelling is award-worthy, the performances were sensational, and it will go down as one of the best Star Wars tales of all time. And of course you should follow it up with Andor season three, also known as Rogue One. Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay is filled with Dredd. Judge Dredd that is. The 2012 film starring Karl Urban is pretty true to the original and less campy than it's 90s counterpart. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Music! Doctor Oliver Sacks calls the psychological connection between the music and the brain “Musicophilia”. We call it a lot of fun. When you experience music at important times in your life, it tends to stick with you. And when you want to have some of those feelings again, all you need to do is put that album on again. Music is an important part of Jay's and Shua's life, and so many great memories are tied to tunes. Let's take a look at what they are and why they like them so much. And make sure to like and subscribe to Chris Collects Stuff on YouTube What albums bring up good memories for you? Why do you like them? First person that emails me with the subject line, “I've got a request” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know.

Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!!! This week we are starting a brand new theme of "Middle Aged Godzilla" where we cover Godzilla films from the 80s and early 90s, starting with The Return of Godzilla (1981)!This film was a "return" to form for Godzilla films after the silly direction the franchise went during the 60s and 70s. Despite some predictibly bad human stories, this film had an amazing second half that really showed up! I gave this film a 7.5/10 for bringing moody Godzilla back and doing a good job at honoring the original film while also brining in some new techniques and techonology to update the franchise.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.Marvel Studios is apparently very pleased with the positive reviews its latest release Thunderbolts*(AKA The New Avengers) is being showered with, as the director, Jake Schreier, is reportedly the studio's top choice to direct the upcoming X-Men film. Said X-Men film remains untitled, but is in active development with Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes writer, Michael Lesslie, currently writing the script. All of this seems to be in keeping with The Wall Street Journal's recent reports about Feige's 10-year plan for the mutants he shared with colleagues.This week DC treated us to the first official trailer for the sophomore season of HBO's Peacemaker, alongside the announcement that it will premiere August 21. The trailer is jam-packed with gags and characters old and new, with a notable handful of characters from James Gunn's upcoming Superman, like Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord and Isabella Merced's Hawkgirl, appearing. Elsewhere, Despite wide traveling rumors, James Gunn affirmed that Matt Reeves is still set to direct The Batman 2 with his Threads response “Yes. Huh?” indicating his confusion at the suggestion of anything otherwise. Gunn also teased a new trailer for Superman to hit the internet on Wednesday, conveniently the day after we recorded this episode.It's a tangled web we weave in terms of Spidey news this week, as Amazon's Spider-Man Noir series released a first image of Nic Cage in the title role, followed by what appeared to be an official trailer that was subsequently removed and scrubbed from the internet.

The film, which sees Andy Serkis returning to not only star, but also direct, was announced last summer for a 2026 release originally before being delayed by a year.Author Tess Sharpe will be releasing a young adult novel focusing on Yelena Belova titled White Widow: Secret Sisters. The novel will be released on September 2nd.Warner Bros. and Legendary announced last week that Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is the new title for the forthcoming movie that is set for theatrical release March 26, 2027. A teaser video was also released to mark the start of production on the sixth film in the series.Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts* kept the number one spot on a relatively quiet weekend at the domestic box office, earning $33.1 million for a 10-day North American tally of $128.5 million and $272.2 million globally. Ryan Coogler's hit Sinners crossed the $200 million mark at the domestic box office for a worldwide total of nearly $300 million. In a second victory for Warner Brothers, A Minecraft Movie zoomed past $900 million in global ticket sales and is on track to become the first billion-dollar movie of 2025.Peacock has released a first look image and an official title for the upcoming The Office spin-off series. The series, titled The Paper, will follow a struggling newspaper based out of Toledo, Ohio and is now set to premiere in September.Michael B.

Byrd, Tom, Kevin and Trev discuss a trio of tokusatsu superhero films from acclaimed director Takashi Miike (Great Yokai War, Ultraman Max, Audition, Ichi the Killer). First we have 2004's Zebraman, a parody of Japanese superhero shows that sees a father in a mid life crisis take up the mantle of the titular character to fight crime and fend off an alien invasion. We then move onto 2010's gonzo sequel set in a dystopian future where Zebraman must face off against a power hungry pop singer. We cap things off by discussing his 2009 adaptation of the popular anime series Yatterman, about a pair of superheroes and their giant robot dog who thwart the evil plans of the Donboro gang. But first, Byrd reviews the recent official Godzilla Pop Up Book from Simon and Schuster Publishing. Relax and join the discussion!

Got dirty feet? Try Windex! (don't actually please). Kanye's new music is banned from Spotify - nobody is surprised. While in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez has been stabbed.

The Frankenstein Brothers are ready to rumble! In this sorta-kinda sequel to Frankenstein vs. Baragon and the final Japanese/American collab with UPA, gargantuan bros Sanda and Gaira -- one friendly and peace-loving, one violent and hungry -- have a battle to the death, but not before extensive sequences of military fights, people-eating, and a big musical number. We get into this film's underlying darkness, the troubles with lead Russ Tamblyn (of Twin Peaks!), and a strangely empty story for the human characters.Cover Art by: DougPart of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveCover Art Gallery | Patreon | DiscordEmail: skreeonkpodcast@gmail.comTheme song: "BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer KaijuSources include: A Critical History and Filmography of Toho's Godzilla Series by David KalatIshirō Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa by by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiGodzilla FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the King of the Monsters by Brian SolomonYouTube Compilation of UPA Version DifferencesWikizilla
