A new Godzilla and Kong movie has arrived!! Is it the perfect dumb-fun popcorn flick or a masterpiece of anti-art? A kaiju-centric depiction of a utopian future where man and nature find a balance or an irredeemable corporate tool built to distract from and further condition us to the ongoing slaughter of all that is worth fighting for? And how do those crystals control gravity?

We reference Walter Chaw's review of the film and it's worth reading in full:

We discuss what is essentially a two and a half hour commercial for America, which clunkily yet elegantly entwines support for war, freedom through American-made commodities, the psychosexual exploration of a man and his car, and over the top misogyny.

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.

We are joined by Pinko Snob to discuss the pinnacle of pre-9/11 post-9/11 zombie films. Is this an anti-civilization film playing on concepts from Deleuze and Guattari to critique the state, patriarchy and capitalism? Or a film about loneliness and father issues?

We conclude our discussion of the Monsterverse series. Like the kids in the show, we have a lot of questions, very few answers, and plenty of mean things to say.
