We Love to Watch

Guillermo Del Toro's PACIFIC RIM was an attempt to make peace between big budget spectacle Hollywood filmmaking, obsessed with grimdark pessmistic films, and its more optimistic, adventurous past. New tech, old soul.

Our looks through the Godzilla movies arrives at the Millennium series and Godzilla: Final Wars!

This is a love letter to the Showa era featuring a lot of monsters and a lot of green screen. Like a lot of the millennium series, it's somewhat of a mixed bag, but still a lot of fun (Because Godzilla is in it).

HEISEI era comes to a close.

Our look at the Godzilla series comes to the Heisei era with the first two entries, The Return of Godzilla and Godzilla Vs. Biollante.

The Return of Godzilla is a reboot that pretends only the 1954 original exists, and it's followed by one of the best in the entire canon, where Godzilla fights the Aubrey II (basically).

We take a pit stop in our Godzilla Month, so cover another 60s era Japanese, Kaiju movie, The X from Outer Space. What if instead of a giant mutated dinosaur, Japan was attacked by a chicken? Well, X going to give it you, baby.

We're joined by Brandon Ledet of the Swampflix podcast who like likes this movie.

We're wrapping up our Size Matters Month dip into the Showa series with a fun, good entry, Godzilla Vs Gigan, and one of the best of any era, Terror of Mechagodzilla.

Stay tuned next week for our first Kaiju detour, with The X From Outer Space

For our Summer of Kaiji aka SIZE DOES MATTER SUMMER, we are strolling into the Showa era with primal fury with King Kong vs Godzilla and Invasion of the Astro-Monster.

After a week off, our Summer of Godzilla begins with the 1954 original masterpiece, Godzilla!

We also discuss the American edit, King of the Monsters, and if that's the only version you've seen, you are missing out. Tune in to find out why!

Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL is both a movie about a rebellion AND a symbol of rebellion, with a massive behind-the-scenes (and onto the newspapers) battle over its release in the states.

We open the trunk on Alex Cox's 1984 punk classic, Repo Man!

It may be Fuck Ronald Reagan Month, but this movie has a long list of people who need to fuck right off. And it's one of the best movies of a great decade!
