We continue exploring the MonsterVerse as we dive into Kong: Skull Island. From its striking Vietnam War-era setting to the larger-than-life creatures of Skull Island, we break down what makes this entry such a standout in the franchise.

A War, A Bride, and Kaiju Vibes This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl review Netflix's sci-fi military action movie War Machine, break down Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild gothic swing The Bride!, and head back into the Monsterverse for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, Episodes 1 and 2. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 War Machine: 8:50 The Bride!: 30:50 Monarch: 55:22 War Machine (2026) Netflix original movie Directed by Patrick Hughes Stars Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney Premise: Army Ranger selection turns into a fight against a giant alien killing machine Did the premise rule or feel like rejected action-figure packaging copy? Is Alan Ritchson becoming the king of “large man solves impossible nonsense” cinema? Was this dumb-fun in the right way or just loud? Ratings out of 10 When ED 209 Gets on Gear and Rampages Brian: 6.15/10 Darryl: 7.2/10 The Bride! (2026) Theatrical release from Warner Bros. Directed and written by Maggie Gyllenhaal Stars Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Annette Bening, Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, Penélope Cruz Premise: In 1930s Chicago, Frank seeks a companion, and a murdered woman is brought back to life as the Bride Ambitious art-horror fairy tale or self-conscious prestige weirdness? How was Christian Bale's monster performance? Did the punk tone work? Did the movie deserve better than its opening weekend, or was the audience basically saying “absolutely not, you little goblin”? Rating out of 10 Mary Shelly’s Bonnie and Clyde Possession Acid Trip Brian: 6.2/10 Darryl:5.1/10 Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (AppleTV) Apple TV+ Monsterverse series Season 2 premiered February 27, 2026 Episode 1: Cause and Effect Summary Season 2 opens with Monarch thrown into chaos by Keiko's return after being presumed dead for decades. At the same time, Cate goes against orders to try to save Shaw, and that rescue effort helps unleash a dangerous new Titan. Broadly, the episode works as a reset button for the season: it reconnects the fractured cast, throws everyone back into crisis mode, and pushes the story deeper into Skull Island and the larger Titan threat. Episode 2: Resonance Summary The second episode splits its tension between two fronts. Lee and Keiko investigate a secretive village tied to a cult-like devotion to a mysterious sea creature, while Cate runs into a deadly stowaway situation on the Monarch side of the story. Reviews and synopses describe the episode as expanding the threat beyond Skull Island, with a rogue Titan moving toward busy shipping lanes, so it feels less like setup and more like the season starting to flex its monster-muscle a bit. Returning cast includes Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett, Anders Holm, and Takehiro Hira Did the season come back strong? Are the human characters finally balancing better with the monster spectacle?

Doom Scrolling IntroThis episode is chock-full of geeky goodness: Steph gives an early, spoiler-light check-in on Resident Evil Requiem, including the dual-play vibes between Grace (FBI agent) and Leon S. Kennedy — plus why Leon feels like a totally different game to control.Then Joe drops a “Florida Man” story that's so dumb it almost deserves respect: an alleged Target trading card theft scheme using 99-cent taco seasoning packets at self-checkout, which turns into a bigger rant about adult scalpers treating Pokémon cards like stock options.In Geeking Out, you get big Apple TV+ updates: For All Mankind Season 5 gets a trailer and a premiere date, plus news of the Soviet POV spinoff Star City. Then it's over to the MonsterVerse — Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 talk, followed by a full-on MonsterVerse trivia showdown: Steph vs the Titans.Finally, Here's What I Would Do returns with two listener dilemmas:Alex (Signal Hill): a neighbor treating a paid, assigned parking spot like “community property” (tow truck time).Nicole (Pasadena): a friend turning the group chat into a self-optimization TED Talk with step counts, discipline quotes, and voice notes.Also mentioned: Daft Punk drops a new “Human After All” video (song isn't new, video is), and the Foos tease an upcoming Japan trip with plans to record while traveling.Chapters(0:00)Doom Scrolling Intro(3:56)Intro(4:40)Resident Evil Requiem Steph's early impressions (Grace vs Leon gameplay)Shoelace Express update No Way is out + Hi-Brow Lounge show recapFlorida Man Target “taco seasoning packet” trading card scheme + Pokémon scalpers rant(22:21) Geeking Out For All Mankind Season 5 + Star City spinoff + Monarch Season 2MonsterVerse trivia Steph vs the Titans(46:54)Here's What I Would Do Parking spot war (Alex Signal Hill)Here's What I Would Do Group chat productivity seminar (Nicole Pasadena)(1:00:28)Outro + Doom Scrolling OutroResident Evil Requiem, Leon S Kennedy, MonsterVerse trivia, Monarch Legacy of Monsters, For All Mankind Season 5, Star City spinoff, Target trading card theft, Pokémon scalpers, group chat self optimization, parking spot neighbor dispute

Drei Nachfolge-Staffeln von Publikumshit sind in diesen Tagen an den Start gegangen und keine wird heißer erwartet als "Paradise" (5:17). Mit einem sensationellen Twist am Ende der ersten Folge hat sich die Serie bei Disney+ zu einem Must-See-Event katapultiert, doch das Finale hat bei Roland, Holger, Michael und Rüdiger ernste Sorgen bereitet, ob eine zweite Staffel nicht eine ganz schlechte Idee gewesen ist. Nach der ersten Folge lautet die Antwort ein eindeutiges "Nein!", aber wie es danach weiter geht, führt zu großen Differenzen beim Quartett. Auch "The Night Agent" (51:15) bei Netflix war nach der ersten Staffel ein großer Hit, hat danach aber viel von ihrem Good Will mit der zweiten Staffel verspielt. Kann sie das mit einem Austausch der Hauptdarstellerin und einer neuen Thriller-Handlung wieder ausgleichen? Oder sollte Peter Sutherland zum Lachen zurück in den Keller gehen? Und schließlich führt Apple mit der zweiten Staffel von "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" (1:14:29) das Monsterverse um Godzilla und King Kong fort. Während Holger und Rüdiger die erste Staffel mochten, hatte sich Michael frei nach Christopher Walken "more cowbell" gewünscht und mit den neuen Folgen auch bekommen, denn die Titanen drehen völlig frei - was wiederum dazu führt, dass Holger und Rüdiger finden, Apple hat es verkackt. Was uns zu "Kacken an der Havel" (33:07) bringt. Die deutsche Netflix-Comedy ist im Januar auf der Wunchliste von Roland gelandet, der nun Michael und Rüdiger mit in die Scheisse gezogen hat. Oder vielleicht doch nicht? Zwar haut sie uns nicht vom Stuhl, aber völliger Dünnpfiff ist der Neunteiler auch nicht. Cold-Open-Frage: "Wer sollte neben McKenna Grace in der neuen ,Scooby Doo'-Serie spielen?"

After a lengthy hiatus, we return as Byrd, Lux, and Tom talk about the recent Norweigan film Troll 2!  No, not THAT Troll 2, but the sequel to Netflix's 2022 film Troll.  The film picks up with the characters from the prior film returning to research another giant troll that has been captured by the government.  When that troll escapes, another troll appears, setting up for a climactic battle between the two.  So how did we feel?  Listen and find out as we talk about the films numerous similarities to the recent Monsterverse films, holy water rockets, confusing lore, and a go on a big tangent on the OTHER Troll 2.  Relax and join the conversation!

Its our 400th episode! We might be recording a day early but that doesn't mean the news stops. Apparently the Doomsday trailers are a story, not a cohesive one though. Jackass is returning to theaters, but at what cost? GameStop is closing stores, are you surprised? Plus reactions to the Golden Globes, and more!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThe second Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer dropped everywhere on Tuesday and features the God of Thunder himself, Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Where the Captain America trailer played much like a silent film, this one gives us a monologue's worth of dialogue from Thor as he prays for strength to fight one last enemy. On the Happy, Sad, Confused Podcast this week, Ryan Coogler detailed what Black Panther 2 might have been before the death of Chadwick Boseman. T'Challa and his young son would have fought Namor side by side, with Namor being an “insanely dangerous” version of the character. Coogler reiterated that the film they made meant he “got a chance to make a movie about women…I love that movie so much.” Boseman was too ill to even read the original script that Coogler finished. Though he's working on resurrecting The X-Files for television, Coogler said of Black Panther 3 that he has “this movie on my heart.” With a fairly quiet Christmas at the box office, Avatar: Fire and Ash continued to wear the crown, climbing to a global total of $760 million, while A24's Marty Supreme starring Timothee Chalamet had a studio best opening to $27.1 million. Other films with big names opened including Anaconda featuring Paul Rudd and Jack Black; The Housemaid, starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney; and Song Sung Blue, which was star-studded with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. None did as well as Chalamet's period piece and certainly not James Cameron's continued epic.Danny Ramirez will not return to HBO's The Last of Us season 3 due to scheduling conflicts. His role will be recast.The highly anticipated Peaky Blinders feature film, now officially titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, has been set for theatrical release in select cinemas on March 6, 2026. Netflix also released the first teaser trailer for the film.Apple TV and Legendary Entertainment are expanding the “Monsterverse” universe, announcing a new show starring Wyatt Russell, who will reprise his role as Colonel Lee Shaw in a prequel series. Writer/producer Joby Harold is set to serve as showrunner.Apple TV has released the first trailer for season 3 of Shrinking, which shows the first look at Michael J. Fox, who was added to the cast alongside Jason Segal and Harrison Ford.

Chels from The Q Division⁠⁠⁠ meets us in Hollow Earth for the big dumb drag wrestling match (complimentary) and all its synthwave bisexual lighting glory! We talk about Kong as a protagonist in the Monsterverse, COVID lockdown's effect on this movie, the weird amount of writers for such a simple plot and concept, how this led Rebecca Hall to make a great indie flick, podcaster representation in Brian Tyree Henry, and the Terminator-inspired Mechagodzilla.Stay tuned for a new podcast from Chels, Across the Whoniverse: ⁠Bluesky⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠Find Chels: The Q Division⁠⁠ | ⁠And a Rewatch Podcast⁠ | ⁠Bluesky⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠Cover Art by: Dukey (@artfromdukey)Instagram | BlueskyPart of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover Art Gallery⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: ⁠Godzilla vs. Kong - The Art of the Ultimate Battle Royale by David WallaceVFX team interview on MPCVFXJared Krichevsky interview on Syfy WireAdam Wingard interview on ScreenCrushAdam Wingard interview on IndieWireAdam Wingard interview on Slash FilmJordan Vogt-Roberts interview on MovieWebComicbook.com on Ren SerizawaGojipediaWikizilla

Welcome back to the Monkey Nut Punch Podcast – Episode 366, where franchises refuse to die and creators insist they're right. NEWS Apple TV+ and Legendary expand the Monsterverse with a Young Lee Shaw series starring Wyatt Russell — prequels are the new sequels. The Fallout video game boss confirms Season 3 of the Amazon series is already being written, alongside new in-game storylines. This machine is rolling. Jamie Campbell Bower shocks audiences by reprising his Stranger Things role live on Broadway in The First Shadow.

James Cameron promises a new Terminator film with no callbacks and no Arnold, claiming he wants to do things audiences “aren't imagining.” Brave… or foolish? SpaceGodzilla is officially confirmed for Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. Subtlety remains extinct.

The Sheep Detectives — family-friendly mystery with unexpected charm. Stranger Things 5: Volume 2 final trailer concept — fan hype meets speculation.

Kong ain't no fortunate son, no! The big ape's introduction to the Monsterverse is a period piece pastiche of 70s Vietnam War-era concepts -- from Apocalypse Now to the predictable needle drops -- resulting in an action-packed adventure movie full of A-listers you've seen in Marvel movies. We talk about the perils of having so, so many characters, stranded bearded John C. Reilly being both hot and adorable, how this movie tackles its political context, and much more.Cover Art by: ⁠Jay Hawley (aka Jay Drawstick)Part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: Toby Kebbell Interview with EWGQ coverage of the attack on Jordan Vogt-RobertsAOL interview with the stars Wikizilla

Plus, we break down John Cena's emotional final appearance at Madison Square Garden. In News Bites, we react to the brand-new Season 2 trailers for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Fallout. Tune in for reviews, insights, laughs, and plenty of pop-culture chaos. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 News Bites: 5:31 Cena’s Last MSG Match: 10:17 The Running Man: 25:42 Frankenstein: 33:16 Predator: Badlands: 46:49 News Bites Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – Season 2 Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSfq48ytevA Apple TV+ drops a monster-sized teaser showing off new kaiju threats, a deeper dive into Monarch's origins, and the return of Wyatt Russell. The tone looks bigger, darker, and much more action-heavy than Season 1. We'll talk about the visual direction, the Godzilla tease, and what we expect from the expanded MonsterVerse. Coming February 27th! Fallout – Season 2 Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECI3eCAxRGw Prime Video gives fans their first look at the follow-up to one of 2024's biggest breakout hits. Lucy, the Ghoul, and Maximus are back, and the trailer leans heavy into the chaos, dark humor, and wild world-building that made Season 1 a smash. Plus, the big question: Are we finally going to New Vegas? Out December 17th! John Cena’s Last Time is Now An emotional, career-spanning farewell from one of WWE's most iconic figures. Cena gives a speech that's equal parts gratitude and grit, putting a final period on his legendary MSG history. We'll recap the full segment, crowd reaction, notable cameos, and what this means for Cena's future inside the ring. Movie Review Catch Up The Running Man (2025)  A sleek, neon-drenched reimagining of the 1980s cult classic. Glenn Powell carries the film with charisma and controlled swagger, leaning hard into the satire without losing the stakes. We'll break down the world-building upgrades, how this version uses modern media culture as its villain, and whether it succeeds where the original stumbled. Ratings Out of 10 When Did 18 days Equal 30 Days? Darryl: 6.7/10 Brian: 6.71/10 Frankenstein (Netflix Original)  A haunting, beautifully constructed adaptation dripping with gothic style. Del Toro delivers a deeply emotional and visually stunning take on the classic tale — focusing on tragedy, humanity, and the monster we create by failing one another. We'll dig into the performances, the creature design, and how Del Toro balances horror, heartbreak, and hope. Ratings Out of 10 Would You Want to be Alone in the Woods With a Wolf or a Frankenstein’s Monster? Darryl: 6.8/10 Brian: 7.3/10 Predator: Badlands (2025) The newest entry in the Predator anthology line continues the trend of smaller, character-focused stories set against the backdrop of a galactic apex hunter. Badlands brings brutal hand-to-hand combat, a grounded survival narrative, and one of the most intimidating Predator designs to date. We'll talk pacing, kills, atmosphere, and where this ranks in the modern Predator revival.

Today, we're wrapping up the Universal Monsters with CREATURE OF THE BLACK LAGOON! The Monsterverse jumps into the Atomic Age of the '50s as a group of scientists/archeologists venture on a fossil-finding expedition in the Amazon. What are they looking for? An evolutionary missing link between animals of the sea and land, teased by a webbed long-fingered claw found in a cliff face.But this undisturbed lagoon holds on to its ecological history much longer than expected. The Gill-Man breathes the past into modern day, a survivor of history. And he's not too pleased with a bunch of whites fucking with his home.I love this movie. We're no longer chained to the folklore of yore but rather using their examples to look forward to the promise of the future, the what-ifs of space travel and colonization. By examining the Gill-men and other sea creatures (about which we know woefully little), we can potentially grab clues as to how to adapt ourselves to strange new worlds. But lest we forget, all discovery comes with responsibility. It's only new to us. It's old hat to the Gill-man.

The Monsterverse is expanding, and Honey B is losing her shit!

This week, EJ enjoyed a movie that was probably too scary for him and feels like he's missing important cultural context for Shin Godzilla. We also talk about the second seasons of Platonic and Twisted Metal and check in with the Monsterverse rewatch.  There's a lot of monster talk this week!

We're talking about the revivals of The Naked Gun and King of the Hill. Is it OK for Liam Neeson to make a racial profiling joke? Is Dale Gribble still funny after paranoid conspiracy nuts ruined America? We'll talk about it!   Also, in the Franchise Report, we kick off a Monsterverse series with 2014's Godzilla, a movie that is too serious but not in the good way.

Long live the king! The Monsterverse swerves into this fanservice romp about mother nature vs. a climate change space dragon, all spawned from the messiest divorce of all time. We talk about the first ever Hollywood interpretations of Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah (and Kevin), this film's bend toward the biblical and mythological, the ensemble cast of all-stars, and the many references that may or may not make sense (what do you MEAN they're the Shobijin?!) We also get into this movie's complicated and frustrating relationship with the 1954 Godzilla film and nuclear weapons.

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
