March 06, 2024 Episode 84: Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992)
We return to the Heisei Era to talk worms, ancient civilizations, the idea of the limit, ecology, and try to figure out why Godzilla is in this movie. The messages and takeaways are confusing, yet seemingly sincere - but Mothra's in it so we had a good time!

Godzilla vs Mothra is available to stream on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/1992gojirataimosura.720p.ac3.cg

February 21, 2024 Episode 83 ft. Liam Quane: Electoral Politics and the MonsterVerse (Or: Is Skar King Donald Trump?)
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 break down the new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire that dropped on Valentine's Day. We talk Jesus, Thunderdomes, Mighty Joe Young, semen, Bolsonaro, and of course the hidden spoilery stuff hidden in quick flashes (spoilery stuff is toward the end with a warning).

February 14, 2024 Episode 82 ft. Pinko Snob: 28 Days Later (2002)
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?

January 31, 2024 Episode 81: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Episodes 6-10 (2023-2024)
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.

January 17, 2024 Episode 80: Existenz (1999)
We plug into this Cronenberg flick which depicts the modern human experience as a collage of existentialism, unconscious drives, media violence, sexual urges, influencing machines, theology, technology, capitalism, and desire (for desire for desire). We emerge diseased without a flamethrower in sight.

January 03, 2024 Episode 79: An American Werewolf In London (1981)
We had a ton to say about this classic comedic horror flick. We touch on the historical werewolf, the Wolfman and the Holocaust, Giorgio Agamben's Homo Sacer, Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents and so much more.
