A few weeks ago, Liam shared his political readings of the MonsterVerse films on Twitter and it seemed to agitate quite a few Godzilla fans. But it piqued our interest, so we invited him on the show to hear him out!
We had a lot of fun talking with Liam about Godzilla (2014), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Godzilla vs Kong (2021), and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024). Liam argues that Godzilla x Kong is an example of what he calls "Mask Off Cinema," a movement informed by the political motivations of filmmakers during the Trump Era, of which we are still a part.
