Godzilla's pink and Kong has a power glove in the most recent Godzilla film! We're joined by Merrilee from Glitterjaw's Fear Coded for another tag team wrestling movie from the Monsterverse, this time centered on Kong's search for a family that leads to a tyrant from beneath the Earth, an old lady/dog/ice dinosaur, and a baby Kong with creepy, creepy eyes. We talk about the theme of home and the emotional human story at the core, how Mothra was almost a different monster entirely, the horrible offense of making us hate Brian Tyree Henry, the great strides this film made for ASL accessibility, and the tragic loss of Kaylee Hottle.
