But Is It Good?

This week (after a week delay - sorry LOL Hunter got sick and then Zach got sick) we're diving into the newest addition to the Mad Max Saga - "Furious." More accurately, we're having a debate where Zach convinced Hunter that he should care about this movie, and Hunter tries to convince Zach that just because he didn't care, doesn't mean that it wasn't good. Anyway, so there's that. Also we ask the question...But is Furiosa good?

This week we discuss the movie everyone was asking for and the world needs - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Set in the Monsterverse, the two titular titans transcend typical talkie tropes, collaborating with captivating contentment to have a crack at conquering corrupt challengers coming from the core of the circle (namely, Earth). But do the dastardly demons from the deep demoralize our daring dinosaur (Godzilla) and his dependable dude (Kong)? Or are our Heros capable of scouring every hour until the tower of power is devoured and they get their flowers? We will answer this and more, as we ultimately decide... But Is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Good?

(Translation if you refuse to indulge in all the consonance/alliteration: We are reviewing Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and we hope you enjoy our discussion)

In this riveting episode, we delve into the enigmatic existence of Madame Web, the weaver of destinies, the oracle of alternate realities, and the cosmic crone who navigates the strands of time like a masterful spider. What threads does Madame Web weave? Ah, my friends, that’s the crux of our inquiry. She whispers secrets to heroes and villains alike, guiding their steps toward pivotal moments. Or maybe she just hijacks a taxi, goes to a diner, and does some CPR - That is what we are here to decide! Is she a puppeteer or a guardian? Does she manipulate fate or merely interpret its cryptic dance? Can she alter the course of events, or is she bound by her own threads? This week, we explore whether Madame Web is a cosmic necessity or an enigma best left unsolved. Utimately, we will answer the question... But Is Madame Web Good?
