Long live the King.

Did Warner Bros. learn their lesson after they failed to give us Walter White vs. Godzilla in 2014?

Mostly. This time they bring in Coach Taylor, Mrs. Bates, and Eleven.

This film picks up 5 years after Godzilla and the M.U.T.O.s leveled San Francisco in Gareth Edward's re-introduction of the Japanese icon. This time director Michael Dougherty brings back the full roster of classic Toho monsters for this modern throwback to Showa Era Godzilla films. 

Join your hosts for this loose, unedited discussion of Godzilla: King of the Monsters and thank you again for your patience with our hectic schedule!

This episode is breaking my heart

We have arrived at the conclusion of the prequel trilogy written and directed by George Lucas. Gone is the Jar Jar, Sand monologues, and Padme's importance to this franchise. The Republic becomes a Galactic Empire under Senator Palpatine, who becomes its Emperor.

This film picks up at the end of the Clone Wars and completes Anakin Skywalker's fall from chosen one to the iconic villain, Darth Vader. Join your hosts as they take a trip to the volcanic planet of Mustafar and fight each other.... Or they just review Star Wars Episode III.

This podcast is gonna send us back to the stone age!

In 2014 Gareth Edwards, coming off the success of his beloved micro-budget film debut, Monsters (2010) was tapped to re-adapt Godzilla for American audiences after the disastrous 1998 adaptation. In this film Godzilla comes to San Francisco to battle two insect like monsters known as M.U.T.O.s (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism).

Co-starring with the big green monster was Brian Cranston fresh off of Breaking Bad, and Aaron Taylor Johnson of kickass fame, this film re-invented the world famous kaiju and set up an entire cinematic MonsterVerse.

In this episode we discuss the different eras of the Godzilla series, how this film ties to Kong: Skull Island (2017), the Toho Japanese reboot Shin Godzilla (2016), and we discuss the unmade American Godzilla that was to be released in 1994.

After the largely despised Episode I, George Lucas attempts a course correction in his Star Wars prequel series. The role of Anakin Skywalker is recast to then promising newcomer Hayden Christensen, Jar Jar Binks is reduced to little more than a cameo, and there is a greater focus on straining Padawan/Jedi master relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Did these changes make a great difference? And how will this movie hold up to it's memory for us? Please join us as we return to a Galaxy far, far away in our ongoing Do We Like Star Wars? Review series.

This is your podcast show hosts speaking,

2007 was a year of great films. The Departed, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood we’re the movie heavyweights of this year, but in the spring David Fincher released a somewhat forgotten masterpiece starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist who became obsessed with catching the Zodiac Killer.

Before Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. were anchoring the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Hulk and Iron Man respectively, they were part of this stellar cast of investigators trying to solve the greatest mystery in Bay Area history.
