This week, Da7e and Neil get distracted from their search for Godzilla by a flurry of confusing time travel rules as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters enters its season-closing arc.

In The Calm [07:20], they question the laws of space and time as they apply to this show's plot and wonder how the writer's room will dig itself out of an increasingly perilous corner. They also discuss the potential resolutions to the season's story and whether any of them would be satisfying without breaking the canon of the Monsterverse.

Then in The Storm [57:30], your faithful hosts anticipate next week's episode, which promises a shorter runtime but, more importantly, the long-awaited presence of Godzilla.

And finally, The Godzilla Project [01:06:16] RPG dives into the post-production process as Neil's Godzilla: Awakening gets an assembly cut, a conclusion, and a schedule for reshoots as studio interference looms.

Next week, coverage of Monarch continues with season 2, episode 8, "Separate Ways." And The Godzilla Project RPG finishes post production with the hope that Godzilla: Awakening will come in on time and under budget.

This week, Da7e and Neil celebrate the arrival of a long-lost Titan friend, if only briefly, as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 gains momentum.

In The Calm [06:46], they consider whether this season of television would work better if it were a few episodes shorter. Then they break down the episode, highlighting its befuddling editing choices, a new addition to the cast, and the necessity for an Antagonist Check-In for at least one member of the Randa family.

Then in The Storm [56:40], your faithful hosts do their best to explain String Theory and use it to predict just how much timey-wimey nonsense this show is about to throw at its audience.

And finally, The Godzilla Project [01:06:00] RPG experience continues. Producer Neil takes more notes from the creative braintrust (the listeners), makes important decisions about key action set pieces, and rolls dice to decide if he's going to get buy-in from one of the big names in his cast.

Next week, coverage of Monarch continues with season 2, episode 7, "String Theory." And The Godzilla Project RPG moves into post production as editing begins and reshoots are considered for Godzilla: Awakening.

The in The Storm [1:00:52], your faithful hosts look ahead to next week's episode and another promise that maybe Godzilla will join the party. They also entertain a wild theory about time traveling Kurt Russells. 

And finally, Session Four of The Godzilla Project [01:09:30] kicks off production on Godzilla: Awakening with a big speech from Hollywood Mogul Neil, some character notes from Norse Mythology expert Mads Mikkelsen, and dice rolls that could make or break the film's box office and critic scores.

Next week, coverage of Monarch continues with season 2, episode 6, "Requiem." And The Godzilla Project RPG attempts to wrap up its shoot and move into post-production without rolling any natural 1s.
