[School of Movies 2024] If New Empire is the best Kong film, this one qualifies for us as the best Japanese Godzilla film. Kaiju fans are being blessed with an embarrassment of riches in this era (check out the charming and dazzling animated Ultraman Rising for even more of this) and there has never been a better time to wrap your head around why this enormous nuclear lizard is such an enduring icon in his home country. Journeying back to the 1954 original Gojira, this film re-stages those events in different ways that even more deeply parallel a nation reeling from the mass-traumatic aftermath of World War II. Right now these people are at zero in terms of ability to cope, and Godzilla is set to slam them back even further to minus one (I didn't come up with that, some YouTube channel obsessing over his toughness stats did, but it's rather good). And yet, while this could be another funerial and mournful lamentation of death and destruction, and abandonment by our leaders, the disgraced kamikaze pilot at the centre doesn't so much have to regain his honour as recognise the value of his own continued existence. This film is life-affirming and helmed by my favourite Japanese director who isn't Hayao Miyazaki; the magnificently gifted and humane Takashi Yamazaki (Lupin III: The First, Stand by Me, Doraemon 1 & 2, Dragon Quest: Your Story) Guest: Dan Hoeppner  @MightyMegatron0  of Leftover Army Monsters

In this episode we review and discuss, "Godzilla Minus One" directed by Takashi Yamazaki. This marks the latest Japanese Godzilla film and also a return to the true form of Godzilla.

Feel free to send us a message! What did you think of this movie? Of this episode? Andrew and Scotty get their kaiju on as they discuss "Godzilla Minus One". Scotty is a pretty big Godzilla fan, and Andrew hasn't watched a lot of Japanese Godzilla movies, so this was an interesting discussion.

And stay tuned until the end of the episode to find out what Andrew has chosen for their next movie!"Godzilla Minus One" is the 37th film on the Godzilla franchise! It was directed by Takashi Yamazaki and stars Ryunosuke Kamiki as Koichi Shikishima, a kamikaze pilot who backs away from his mission only to come face to face with a giant reptilian creature on a small island. He makes his way back to Tokyo after surviving the attack and deals with his PTSD and survivor's guilt while also caring for a young woman named Noriko and an orphaned baby named Akiko.

Godzilla Minus One (Gojira -1.0) is the 37th movie in the Godzilla franchise, the 33rd Godzilla movie from Toho Studios, and the fifth movie in the franchise's Reiwa era. It has grossed more than $150 million at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla movie. It is the first Godzilla movie ever nominated for an Academy Award, which it won, for Best Visual Effects. Godzilla Minus One is a prequel to the original movie, Godzilla (1954). And: Following the worst Memorial Day weekend at the domestic box office in nearly 30 years and the disappointing openings of the big-budget summer action movies The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, industry watchers are, let's say … in a bit of a panic.

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?

It seems unlikely that the creators behind the 1954 original Japanese Godzilla movie could anticipated it not only remaining culturally relevant at least 70 years but also would eventually feature Godzilla and King King (sans metal gauntlet) travelling into the hollow earth to fight a race of giant orang utans or whatever happens in Godzilla V Kong. And yet here we are. Anyways, lets all take a look at where it all started.

We're kicking off "Monster March Madness," a month dedicated to giant monster movies, with one of the biggest movies (literally) we've looked at yet, the first American attempt at adapting Godzilla as a Hollywood blockbuster. The Japanese Godzilla series is one of the longest-running, most successful film franchises in cinema history. So what could go wrong when you choose the director of a recent smash-hit sci-fi summer blockbuster and let him loose on the property, armed with cutting-edge Hollywood FX? Well, almost the entire Godzilla fanbase could answer that one for you, but we're gonna discuss it, too! And we're not doing it alone. For this episode, we've recruited two very special guests who are no strangers to this movie or Godzilla, in general - the hosts of the Kaiju Transmissions Podcast, Kyle Byrd & Matt Parmley. So join us for an epic podcast crossover as we talk unsold toys, extreme usage of Simpsons cast-members, Jurassic Park comparisons, and more.

"Godzilla Minus One" was one of 2023's most surprising success stories. The film grossed over $105 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Japanese "Godzilla" film of all time; it crossed over into the U.S., where it received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and now has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects making it the first film in the 70-year-old franchise to receive an Academy Award nomination. Director, Writer, and Visual Effects Supervisor Takashi Yamazaki was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about the work that went into the visual effects, which you can listen to below. The film is now up for your consideration for the 96th Academy Awards and the Visual Effects Society, where it is nominated for Outstanding Animated Character In A Photoreal Feature.

Godzilla is known for destroying buildings and smashing cities, but now we can add the crushing of Hollywood to the list! That's right! The latest film from Japan is smashing box office records and making a mockery of our failed woke movie industry, and I'm going to show you precisely why you need to get out there and see this amazing film! Highlights: “Godzilla Minus One has become a blockbuster smash hit, breaking records at the box office, and completely defying the trend of big-budget Hollywood movies struggling to find success because of their incessant and pathetic wokeness!” “This film profoundly blows apart so much of the unthinking and mindless nonsense that passes as a political critique for so many on the woke left. And that unapologetic championing of nationalist populism is striking quite the chord among theatergoers.” “Godzilla Minus One just became the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla film in the 70-year history of the franchise!” Timestamps:   [02:14] Godzilla Minus One smashing box office records [04:48] How a fascinating and compelling nationalist populist theme arises in the film [05:40] How the movie challenges the silly narratives coming from our own political and cultural elite [07:35] Godzilla Minus One mocking our failed woke movie industry Resources:  HE'LL BE BACK!

The Meddling Kids traveled to post-war Japan this week and met up with one of the kaiju himself, Godzilla! When a pilot runs from his duty in WW2, he is nearly killed by a mysterious monster. He later escapes to Tokyo and tries to rebuild. The problem is ghosts from the past and giant lizard monsters are hard to move on from. Godzilla Minus One, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, is a reboot of the Japanese Godzilla franchise. Hang with your pals, the 2 Meddling Kids, as they explore the depths from which Godzilla came.

As big budget Hollywood movies underperform and business models collapse, two Japanese films have been surprise hits in North America - Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron and Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One, which reportedly only cost a tenth of the budget of a typical MCU film. Our discussion casts a critical eye on Godzilla Minus One as symptomatic of larger problems in modern blockbuster filmmaking that not even this film can avoid; wasteful spending, labor conditions for VFX artists, creative accounting, and most crucially a lack of cinematic style and vision in the finished product. Ben offers a critique from the perspective of a creative as well, how camera placement and the concept of “shooting for the edit” as important storytelling techniques seem to be afterthoughts in the modern age. We also compare Godzilla Minus One to a better recent Japanese Godzilla movie we both love, 2016's Shin Godzilla, which works both as a kaiju film and a satire about bureaucratic Japan's failure to handle the 2011 earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear accident. Plus Ben and I talk about Justice Warriors and his great trailer for season 4 of the Blowback podcast. Follow Ben Clarkson on Twitter.

It's not controversial to say that Godzilla is one of America's most meh high budget blockbusters. But you put that big lizard back into the hands of Japan and suddenly you got yourself something worth talking about! What's that? You didn't even realize there was a 2016 Japanese Godzilla movie? Well sit down, kid. Let us learn ya somethin here.Japan is plunged into chaos when a skyscraper-sized lizard monster rises from the deep of Tokyo Bay and lays waste to Tokyo.

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.

On this episode, Matt finds out that he really loves the odd and ridiculous Japanese Godzilla movies while discussing Godzilla Final Wars with Brian. They also talk about the Matthew Broderick movie along with the good and bad soundtrack choices, the crazy action, the Attack on Titan similarities that go absolutely no where, how this movie has everything, the weird interpretations of people in the U.S., the over-the-top Kaiju on Kaiju action, along with so much more!

This week we take a look at Shin Godzilla from 2016, apparently the 3rd reboot of the Japanese Godzilla franchise that attempts to take the film back to its allegorical and political roots that we here at Spoiler Filled HQ enjoyed so much. While we agree it respects this there are still plenty of good … Continue reading "332: Shin Godzilla [2016] Movie Discussion"

March of the Monsters continues at Catching Up On Cinema with a review of the original Japanese cut of Ishiro Honda's, King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)! The first Godzilla film to be shot in color, as well as the first to debut many of composer Akira Ifukube's most iconic theme musics for the Big G, the film serves as the prototype for the majority of Show era Godzilla films to come. Officially released in the US for the first time just last year as part of the Criterion collection, the original cut of the film has long been a rarity in the American film market. More slowly paced than the American recut, but more consistent in tone, the original cut of King Kong vs. Godzilla is not likely to be considered a favorite among modern fans, however to this day it remains one of most theatrically attended of all Japanese Godzilla films. Colorful and light hearted, the film is an enjoyable novelty that delivered the goods where it mattered, and set the stage for Godzilla's wild success in the many years to come.

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.

We return to the land of the giant monsters for a surprising and impressive entry in Toho's Godzilla series. This was the ninth outing for the Big G and his crowd of monster cohorts. It was also the last time that the core group of creators responsible for bringing the original 1954 classic GOJIRA to the screen were to work together on a kaiju film. The studio increased the budget for this outing (for reasons we'll discuss in the show)and the extra money shows in many ways both big and small. The use of pretty much every giant monster character that Toho had created up to this point meant that the special effects technicians were working overtime to build and shoot the numerous battles and scenes of city destruction. Oh, man- the monster fights in this film are so great! Adding to the general excellence of this movie are the wonderful directorial touches of the great Ishirô Honda. Always a man with a keen eye for framing he also gets a chance in this film to give us several unexpected visually gorgeous images that verge on the surreal. Rarely has wet sand, high heeled shoes, a low sun and the sound of crashing surf been combined to such charged effect in a G rated film. Since Troy just returned from his annual visit to Chicago's G-Fest I question him about the highlights of the convention. He has a little info on the new Japanese Godzilla film but we still await news of North American distribution. He relates tales of meeting numerous celebrities over the weekend and even has photographic evidence to back up his claims of glory.I really have to attend G-Fest one of the days! As the episode swings into gear we talk about the film's colorful set design, it's familiar and talented cast,the two different English dubs available and a host of other details we can't stop ourselves from gabbing about. I even spend a while complaining about the tease of seeing certain creatures who are given only seconds of screen time. I love you, Varan!   Thank you for downloading and listening to the show.

Then they wrap up the show with a new Fan Fic Fights face-off and the show's first ever listener email question. Last but not least Alex introduces a new segment for the show (which doesn't have a name quite yet), where he and Brandon watch a movie to talk about next time, and encourage everyone else to watch and write in your thoughts.

Hello, Birmingham! Live from the Alabama Phoenix Festival, it’s Gobbledygeek! Paul and AJ returned to APF 2014 to host a series of panels about everything from summer movies to Orphan Black, and while they were there, they thought it’d be neat to record a live podcast. Joining them in the hot seat is Gobbledy-stalwart Kenn Edwards; in the audience, frequent guests/loved ones/freaks of nature Eric Sipple, Joseph Lewis, and Pam Smith. The gang talks to the crowd—including a man dressed as Casey Jones and two teenaged Bronies—about how the con’s going, why they enjoy the sense of community it provides, and that awful-looking Ninja Turtles movie. Next: Paul and AJ return to their boring, excitement-free home lives to discuss the original Japanese Godzilla. And I guess they’ll mention the new one too.

Matthew Sweet takes musical inspiration from this week's new Godzilla film - the fictional filmic monster who has been inspiring metaphors and mayhem for the past 60 years.
