E29: Final War

0:19 Welcome to another episode of Daniels die, Kaiju theater show where we watch Kaiju movies and say whether they're good or not. We beat up these Kaiju movies, we battle them, we're still trying to find the catchphrase so far, we're working through the Godzilla Eames and this week we watched the at one point. Final Godzilla, film Godzilla final wars and also the last one, where somebody wore a suit I think. And who do we have with me today? I am, of course, Daniel Fernandez, your Intrepid host.

1:01 He him you're King of the podcasts monsters that seems appropriate, okay? Yeah I am Damien regular around here. He they I'm Nathan noted Kaiju expert and kind of a dork. He him I'm Russell. I am a dumb shit and I am a huge dork. He they so let's talk about this one. This one is there's so much going on in this one. Let's not beat around the bush. Let's just get into it. Godzilla final Wars the 28th Mainline Godzilla movie 29th film. Overall, final film of the Millennium series and the last time, one of these Godzilla movies has a guy in a suit premiered in 2004 2004 and was a gigantic Financial failure for the studio, but I think it was a good time. Let's get into it.

2:02 So Russell, you said you were taking notes, do you want to walk us through the plot? You want me to go through the plot this week? What do we Do. Well, I figured first, we could say how we watched. I know this there, I noted that I watched it with dubs, which just seems appropriate for a Godzilla movie. Oh yes. I watched both actually. The Japanese version is kind of hard to find on the internet but II, you could, you can find it around. I watch the dumb version because I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like reading. I watched the subbed version, though. I have seen both on an old DVD. D. I got of this film wound time ago, man. Yeah media.

2:44 Yeah, it's crazy. Was weirdly nostalgic to re-watch the the opening trailers because they always stuck in my memory because they were for Final Fantasy 7, Advent Children, and oh God, that one and I think it was called, steamboy it was made by the guy who did Akira. I'm have to look that up. Apparently, it's mid from what I've heard from other people but the trailer. Blew my mind as a kid. I actually did The Best of Both Worlds. I watched it with the doves and have the subtitles on that sounds confusing. They don't match up as much as you might expect. No, they don't real open lead situation there.

3:26 Honestly, I love doing that with any like vinyl as mentioned before it was mentioned before Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children. That's actually how I generally watch that because like yeah. Just seeing the difference in the the dialogue between the two. It's actually kind of cool like seeing the changes that are made and hearing the changes obviously, as well. So this movie was directed by the Japanese filmmaker Rue hey kitamura who is actually most well known before this for a wild movie called versus which is like Samurai. Ice versus Zombies.

4:10 It's wildly violent though. I knew him better as the guy who directed the cutscenes. For the remake of Metal Gear, Solid on the GameCube Metal Gear. Solid. The twin Snakes which has a very similar energy with its fights. They also can definitely see it. He also cameoed in his own movie as the radio, DJ in that one scene. Yeah, I was going to mention it, but yes, he is. Is the radio DJ. All right, oh my God, he did the live-action loop on the third film. That's not important right now. Okay, I've not seen that one. It's alright, I have I've seen it, it's bad. So our movie starts like Eddie good Godzilla movie starts. I don't know if they all start like this, but with Godzilla, he's just right there.

5:02 Just Godzilla around looking right at the camera. I will say, I kind of dig this. Suit. This is a new suit for this movie. He his ears are bigger. I mean he kind of does he gotta look like a cat? I feel like it kind of looks like a cat. There's an argument to me bait. Yeah, I see it. I really loved the sort of Godzilla falling into the ice. It looked like very much like a person in a suit falling down, two feet, Yes, of that's the beauty of these movies. Yes, our movie starts with Godzilla battling Humanity once again and is it?

5:44 The go Tango right at the beginning? It is? Yeah. Yes, and I don't know my when I first saw that I'm like, really a flying submarine with a drill, on the front of it, that this is my type of movie right here. Well, should note, the good Tango is originally from another movie. 1963 movie called etrigan, not a Godzilla movie but the the submarine fights, a giant monster. It does not fly in that one, I don't believe that one. It's just an underwater submarine but, you know, it's better than being an underwater submarine, a fly's eye submarine, yes.

6:26 Which literally the word submarine is sub Marine. So, like, if it doesn't sorry, what's it's also a Supra Marine. But yeah, we see Godzilla fighting the gotengo. The submarine that we just mentioned when all hope seems lost. There's just like a big earthquake and they're able to trap Godzilla in the ice and he just falls down. I think we're supposed to assume it's a bottomless pit, but like you were saying kind of looks like he just falls down a couple feet. I mean, it must have just been a couple feet, right? Because they had that complex built so late.

7:07 Her on the movie that goes up and Godzilla's out. Yeah, he gets out pretty quick so I guess he didn't fall down too far. Yeah. Six feet or so. Yeah. They they always try to trap Godzilla and it never works. This is, this is like at the end of the, the first of the heisei movies where he gets trapped in the volcano, and then just gets out later on. I mean, it to be fair in this film, it actually worked for quite a long time and would have kept working. If well, we'll get to that. Yeah, yeah, because it cuts to everyone's favorite year the Year 20 x DX. Let's begin here. Yeah, although actually do the credits happen.

7:47 First, the credits happened first, right? Because I actually wanted to mention squeeze these opening titles rule. I really wanted these okay titles, a little Montage of all the Godzilla movies that have come before. Yeah. And oh goodness, I looked at the guy, I forgotten the name of the guy who did them, but he's actually the guy they brought him back to do the titles to the first two of the more recent American Godzilla movies. And and as if I'm if I'm understanding this right he did the trailer for Suicide Squad. There isn't one right did he? No shit. No you're just fucking with. That was good trailer though.

8:30 I remember it was a good trailer. What's good trip? As a trailer. So good. It arguably killed the movie. It was for we don't have time. No, I think the movie did that. Well, they've re-edited the movie to make it more like the trailer. So, Chad got Scylla. Yes. Yeah, so after the awesome opening credits, we are introduced to the Edinburgh and Stalin submarines telling that man is stolen, right? Well they have to tell But the EDF first, right? Yeah, right. Right about people with about mutants with like superpowers, who fight Kaiju, I do want to comment generally, I've kind of like the music in this movie, but goddamn, the music that plays during the like, this is what's happening in the future. There's an Earth Defense Force of they're mutants. It sounds terrible.

9:25 It sounds like like a documentary, like a bad documentary doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. It's, it does not feel very good silly at all. All know you're right. It does not. Yeah. And then they play it over the credits to but yes, that we get as you recall this, a submarine Stalin. Is that what you said? Yep, not actually just sub read stolid. He is one of our leads in the movie. John Frye Gordon. Oh yeah, Gordon. I guess is technically his name. Yes, that is. The character's name as played by actual professional wrestler. Don Frye. Man who can't act and the the exact right way for this film. Mmm.

10:11 Like, I thought he was a wrestler. I just didn't recognize him at the time, but yeah, it was, it was great. Sorry, yeah, she actually was originally an MMA fighter. I didn't even make that connection until you said he was a former wrestler and I don't even know if I've seen wrestling. Where Sergeant Slaughter was a dude. I had around. Yeah. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to have. Yeah, he is. He's also a boxer. Yeah, he's done a whole bunch of stuff. He kitamura, loved him, kitamura the director, and wrote the part just for him and really wanted to do it and Don Frye. He's got a distinctive voice and not, he's not a great actor in a way that makes it an incredible actor for this.

10:59 It's really quite the watch to see him. Try to Stay out these lights. And and since I was watching the dub, I noticed that he was not speaking Japanese for all of his lines either. Sometimes he was just using his voice in the Final Cut. Yeah, in English, I will confirm that every line he says in the subtitled original Tiffany's version is in English and he was dubbed in Japanese for the Japanese release. Wow. Yep. Getting it both ways. Yeah, well anyway he is commanding the go Tango in the future and is fighting against a.

11:40 Our first Kaiju that gets taken down in this movie, well, I guess Godzilla kind of gets taken down, but he gets better, which is a weird. Dragon thing called Manda. Manda Manda on, do with Manda. Yeah, we just said, weird things, didn't we? Yeah, I guess we could go with both this. This is actually well, you know, the, this movie, at least the job is not consistent with some of it today being either. But this is actually the first of our sort of cameos, if you will, this is a Kaiju from the movie that the go Tango is originally from, after God.

12:29 And this. Godot doesn't last very long, he gets blasted by the Ice weapon that's on the Tango. The Maser the Maser. Yes. The Major Lazer, ridiculous name, the Maser, which is interesting because there were Maser tanks in some of those early movies. The ones that look like satellite dish takes, I don't think those froze. I thought those were just like laser gun and those, which were just lightning guns. Yeah, this thing maybe it's a nod to the absolute zero cannon from Godzilla against Mechagodzilla. Could be, that's - guess.

13:11 But yeah. Like now and like all of those, all of the ship, like, the, the ships that they have, because they have a few, in this movie. They're all they all seem to be equipped with one. Yeah. Yeah. They all got freeze guns. I guess that's the main way that people take out monsters in the future. They blasted with Friesland masers, I guess. I mean, it did work. I mean, it did work, but He's too Reckless. He's too Reckless. He's taking too many risks and his boss. Gets him on the phone. After he's killed the monster. They were set. They sent him to get rid of and they're like, what are you doing? You're being too Reckless at mediately after he killed the monster which seems a little much. He got the lobster, nobody died if you're paying attention. Okay, first of all, he slams, the ship, it is like a 180. The staff is getting flung against the other side of the ship, then he He's talking to his fiery officer and he's like, yeah, you shut your mouth and then he's in prison, he's got a full set of gym equipment because I guess everybody's too afraid of him.

14:19 They this guy's Arc is weird. It's real weird. They mentioned that he struck a superior officer during yeah, his court-martial hearing which is why he's actually in jail for the kids. Did he hit the woman? He was talking to who he's have to assume. Yes. Who is the leader of the Earth Defense Force and is being played. That's Kimmy Mizuno, right? I don't know where know. Is that I take it back? I don't know why. I asked the question that is Kimmy Mizuno playing. Nah mikawa, who is the leader of the Earth Defense Force?

15:00 I just think of her as like the Earth Defense, Force lady, but keep me. Bazoo. No, was in a whole bunch of old Godzilla movies, she was in invasion of Astro monster. She was in every horror of the deep. She was in a bunch of other Toho movies, Frank side versus Barragan and stuff like that. But she's very famous. We've seen her twice already on the show. She's great. I mean, she's no longer the crazy sex pot, like, character. She's the older lady, but she's, it's fun to see her on stage. He's submarine Stalin's punching bag. Yeah, I thought they're really Don Frye punched her, but enough about Don Frye. Now, it's time to meet our actual main character. Yeah, exactly.

15:47 What. I come to a Godzilla movie for badly. Cgi'd, martial arts. Well, I could like I was under the eight. Like, the way I looked at it like it looked more like essentially wire food and me which way that that was done. Yeah, I think it's wire food but it's it was a bit of both. Yeah, I think there is a little bit of Fuji I in places, but for the most part it was some genuinely cool stunts. Yeah, but every, once while there, Like oh, they're going super fast that they use like CGI to? Yeah, absolutely ridiculous. It looks so good. You guys remember when everybody thought wire moves looked cool.

16:28 That was that was a weird time. I still think they look cool but they aren't there was a time when they're definitely going to go over here and it includes this movie made after the Matrix. Yes, this is our main character. The guy who's the hero What's his name sake? Oh yes, his name is Ozaki, but honestly it's kind of hard to remember. As always, it's kind of hard to remember the names of the characters that a Godzilla movie, it is a Godzilla movie. You were taking second Billing, at best, arguably, not in this one, because the humans get a lot to do. Yeah, but owes Ozaki is fighting with his rival and they're both mutants so they're using.

17:16 The crazy mutant powers to get into a matrix fight. The crazy mutant powers of moving a little faster than usual. Yeah, exactly. They're doing wall runs and shit it's you know. Yeah the KU wall run. Let It Be. Oh I haven't tried recently, never tried. So it's been a few years since I tried. Well, he's fighting another mutant named Kazama. And after the fight Kazama is like, ah, you didn't, you didn't fight hard enough, you're not fighting to kill in the battlefield. You have to fight to kill because that he's like, no you beat me with chittim a lie.

18:01 Yeah, which that's, that's what you want to hear. Go to say no, you're better than me. I'm sorry. Yeah, you beat me. Sorry, you beat me and it's like, why didn't you kill me in this sparring match brother and their boss comes in? And says, remember the point of this fight is not to win, it's to get better, but it's like, is it the point of the fight to win? Doesn't that help you get better? It seems like the point of the fight should be to win out of training to be stronger. Not to beat your opponent, which sort of explains the rest of the movie. Yeah, I suppose. So. So We meet him. And he's like, they're trading, but everything seems to be sort of peaceful and he is given a job to protect girl.

18:44 Number one, who is a scientist? I biologist, I was going to say, what kind of scientist is she who L would beat you to it? Yes, she is tactically. What Miyuki Miyuki is the Biologists, and of course, we get to think where he's, like, oh, you want me to watch a biologist? I bet he's going to be, like, all old and ugly and then, and then she shows up, and she's really hot, of course. And then he still shitty about it. He's like, oh, you look like a model which means like you're not a good scientist. It's like you model ruse.

19:33 I think yes. Yeah but I thought the main love interest was Manila. That's a different couple. That's the little boy Manila, I hate that. Oh boy its soda it's not a romantic love. It's a it's a friendship love. It's the only noticeable affection in the movie. Unfortunately, yes. Is it unfortunate do we really need the love story? But love stories. Let's be real. Like the real love story, that was right there that they didn't go for was the obvious shown in rivalry between Ozaukee and kozma. Yeah, it was right there y'all.

20:20 That's so many things that they started and didn't go for. Yeah. Well, this movie, it doesn't have time to develop any Because it has to rush to another idea. Which is that we are now checking out a monster that they found off the coast of Hokkaido that is being that seems to be long dead. It's mummified and it's 12,000 years old, and they're looking at it and we recognize it, of course, to be guy real, but chicken. Yes, guy gaming is a Robot Chicken you. Yeah, that's not it. Incorrect to describe him ATS. And then they, they say that it's a cyborg and it has technology. But because it's 12,000 years old, it can't be any Earth Technology, so it must have come from space. Oh.

21:14 And it has the same like, what does it say that M gene or whatever and eyes embase, there we go. The the end, the same n bass as the mutants that have been popping up. Which apparently I love that DNA base and that is not how that works. No, it is not okay to pair because those work in pairs that is not this one, but not this one though. Adenine thymine, guanine and cytosine, they're all paired up and basis over here, like, hello, I'm here too. That's why it's so powerful. It says against another one. It is interesting. So the implication is that like these guys are the Ants of these mutants are the descendants of this. They talked about it a little bit more. I'm curious.

22:03 Why the mutants just started up hearing now when this happened like 12,000 years? Yeah, that yeah, that was kind of a spot where they could have done that better. They could have at least established, oh yeah, they've been may be appearing, occasionally, and now they're like there's more of them or some shit like that. Now to be fair from what I was reading. There is a ton of deleted footage for this film. In fact, there's like some full-on like monster scenes. It looks like that they show over the credits of like deleted scenes. So maybe there was a cool line in there. Something that explained it more, but thankfully, but they cut this movie To The Bone, apparently, despite it also be pretty long.

22:47 It's just over two hours back in 2004. Two hours, was not a long movie. It filled it. Felt log for a Godzilla movie. Yeah, I supposed to say, like, aren't most Godzilla movies, like, don't they? I generally didn't at least for the the time debt. Generally top out at about the 90 minute Mark. Yeah. Prior to 2004 Godzilla. Movies were on the shorter side for the most part. Yeah. Yeah. Now now like all the big Blockbusters are too long, which includes the Godzilla movies, okay, so they're like, oh it's a, it's a alien. He's got the DNA or whatever, but our hero is like, Zach doesn't make any sense that stupid that doesn't even work. Teleported to a magic island with fairies. The looking at my first book, right? Yes.

23:34 But the Mothra twins, the show begins show up because they're looking at a book and then the book comes alive. Starts talking to them. And it's, this is what we do. Yeah, as opposed to do, and they give Ozaukee and emblem, so that he will be able to choose his own destiny, which, I'm pretty sure does not appear for the rest of the movie. So it does, it's, it makes an, it makes an appearance. Okay, yes. And should note that, these are the two actresses that played the Mothra twins the Shabbos in in the last movie. Tokyo. S OS. They just brought him back though. Even those good one though, if I actually quite like that one, but if you look at the picture in the book beforehand, it's actually a picture of the old Mothra Mothra twins ever played by the peanuts back in the show.

24:29 Our hero, then not, not Charlie Brown and stuff, but the musical act that peanuts, there are so so many references to the showa era, especially, Especially in this film. Yeah, we're probably not going to catch all of them and in fact, this podcast would be too long if we got all of them. But I've got a bunch of the ones that I could think of when they pop up, there were a lot of cameos that went over my head as well. Yeah. Pretty much anybody who isn't a young person in this movie is an old Godzilla actor. Yeah. But we can't mention all of the cameos because we're barely started the plot summary and we've been recording Paying for half an hour. Okay let's pick it up speaking of half an hour and barely and I realized I had a page of notes that half an hour. Yeah.

25:26 Then I guess the monsters attack, right? Is this? What happens? The monsters to start attacking the world? Yeah. And we get a very sensitive depiction of urban life. She's let's Christ. Yes, the New York scene. Oh man, I forget every time everybody was definitely speaking English and there was Till 80 are going on. Yep. Apparently that's because one of the actors kept swearing and wouldn't always have to do the lines? Yeah that sounds about right. I'm not a lip reader but I definitely looked like he was cursing there. Yeah, yeah, we see New York with two guys getting harassed by a police officer with everything being the most stereotypical thing ever. Also, apparently New York has not changed at all. In the, how many years?

26:18 It's been because we're in the like the the Deep future. It just looks like New York from honestly than 90s, and this movie was shot in. And five. It looked like, it looks like New York from an 80s movie. Yeah. Yeah, it really does. But then wrote a book comes in and wrecks, the whole thing. So, yeah, Rhoda has probably been the best back. Rodent looking pretty good. I like this road and I think, I think it looks pretty good is my favorite road and design. Yeah, it's a good design and the CGI doesn't look bad, some of the CGI in this country, doesn't look good, but the CGI in Road and looks pretty good here. I Note, the thing that I love the most is the weird cartoon sound that they put in as the guy falls over. Yeah.

27:03 It's like something that a fucking Looney Tunes. I don't understand why it's what he knocks their hats off their heads with the wind. Yes. Just like sound it's then consider eights their bodies. Yes they need to do it more. I wanted more cartoon sounds yeah, they shouldn't be with it. They should Have just like, you know, went with the bit throat that bit throughout the whole movie like, you know, if you're going to do it commits. Yeah. But anyway, we see monsters attacking all over the world. So wrote a text New York City. Zilla, who is the Godzilla from the America?

27:46 TriStar movie is attacking Sydney Australia? Oh yeah. And it's all CG. It looks so goofy. Like, give me that foam rubber flopping all over. Place for the win. Yes, it really doesn't look good. That whole thing is like a giant stab to that movie and it's Petty and spiteful and I really appreciate it on some level. Apparently the model they used they just got one of the toys. They just got a toy that they stand it in. Yeah that night I love they went to Vancouver and basically nothing at all is happening there. Somebody is watching the TV and that's our vignette to Vancouver. Yeah a cut. We see. A couple shots of people watching it and the attacks going on around the world Anguirus. Godzilla's first enemy is attacking Shanghai though. In the tub, they call him ank wenis. You guys catch that.

28:39 I don't understand that. Somebody Miss, read the script, pretty hard? Yes. King Caesar. Is it Okinawa comment' command chorus? The the praying mantis guy? Is attacking Paris and then all of them are attacking big, Urban centers, except for. Come on go who just like stepson one trailer in the middle of nowhere. Yep, I will say this. So many of these Kaiju just never showed up again after their first appearance in the show era and it was nice to see some old faces like King Caesar coming back. That's great.

29:24 Yeah, no. And our Kaiju though know who say you're a kind, you yeah. Makes sense, considering the director was going for a pre, hey, say feel, but like they say, Kaiju are great. So his would love any excuse to see another Biollante? Would be cool act as we just never enough Biollante. The, we talked about this. When we talked about that movie, it's great to sign barely fights Godzilla. In those movies needs to be longer, but the Real thing that we see a lot of is every ra is attacking some sort of Industry Factory thing in Japan with some sort of, you know, Tokai, yeah. It's just looking at myself in.

30:08 Okay, Rocky prefecture, aah, ibaraki prefecture because it's even spelled differently. It's okay Nonnie And we get a scene that's pretty wild that I would never thought I would see it, a Godzilla movie. It's a bunch of guys on foot, fighting a Kaiju and winning. And they must have spent about half of their budget on all of the explosions of the scene. Oh, that's when the lobster breaks their Warhammer, right? Something like that. Yeah yeah they got the X-Men in there to fire rocket launchers. That was great.

30:49 Yeah. It's not like nothing we've ever seen in a Godzilla movie before for better and worse, it's just totally wild. I would love to see more of that concept of people just fighting Kaiju on foot and winning because that was so stupid and so cool. And just the inner child within me was just Just having a field day of it. And then at the end, he says, sorry I'm a vegetarian and then close them up. That's a good point. There's weird stuff in this movie, but foot soldiers, versus Kaiju is a pretty neat idea. Yeah. I thought we would get some of that in the first. I know.

31:31 We haven't gotten to it yet, but the first of the, the monster verse Godzilla's, where they have all the soldiers running around, it's if it's go, but they don't fight Godzilla at all in that. Is this or the muto's? Yeah. Yeah, they don't fight. Yeah. Yeah. Though while we're on the subject of the sorry, I'm a vegetarian guy that actor can qu Sookie. He is a mixed Japanese American actor I believe, okay. And is notable for being the only actor ever to be the host of an Ultraman, a Sentai Ranger, a common writer and has squared up with Kaiju and a Godzilla film.

32:12 And the guy who's ever done that vegetarian. Yeah. He has the, the Kaiju, the Japanese tokusatsu equivalent of the Triple Crown. Wait, what's the Triple Crown? The that's like a horse race like that, doesn't work. Oh, yeah. Well, the Japanese version is much more interesting. I gotta say. Yes. So then the the head of the UN dies, right? We didn't mention this guy but he gave up. Yeah I mean the movie barely mentioned it it's this is true as well but it was it a plane Rodin exploded him? It's fine. So like it the movie does kind of establish something about him because like he's didn't they go off and say like he's the first Japanese head of the UN or something like that and he's like, oh hey yeah.

33:06 We're going to go do this and then they had like I think one or two establishing shots of them and then yeah. He's on the plane and the plane gets destroyed. Yeah. Keep ties. Except he doesn't spoiler alert. He goes bad. Yeah, we'll get to that. We'll get to it. Somehow he survived. It's a real puff toot situation. But yeah. Tuitions the answer is aliens by the way, aliens show up and abduct all the Kaiju. For lack of a better term before? Yes, they of them can be killed. Hmm. Yes. They grab the alien show up and grab all of the Kaiju. And we have seen a bunch of Godzilla movie. So, we know that when aliens show up, they're obviously going to be our friends and there will be no problems to come of it. I've got a note here.

33:57 Yeah. Can you imagine being with those assholes on top of a building holding a riot shield of the spaceship? That's a real. What the fuck am I doing with my life? Kind of moment right there? This is way above my pay. Grade also their mother ship looks like the Epcot Center. No, I was gonna say this stuff all feels very Independence Day especially when it launches its ships later. But I think about the Independence Day a lot when we're seeing these guys, yet more movies. This is Jolly. From this whole thing is a very Hollywood feel to it which I think is probably deliberate. Even if it may be isn't successful anyway, the aliens come out and they introduced themselves as the eggs ilion's.

34:41 So just literally the same name of the bad guy monsters or the bad guy. Aliens from the showa era from just thought was vision of a strong monster. Yeah and instead of having their weird like black eye masks, they all wear sunglasses now because it's the, it's the 2000s and sunglasses are cool or at least one Dana's, yeah, I guess. It's more boldly, the one guy best, and then they come up with this weird lie that never really goes anywhere, they say there's an asteroid that's named gorath, which is named after another took another Touhou movie. There's an asteroid named gorath that's going to hit Earth. So they came here.

35:27 So warn Earth that earth needs to shoot its lasers at the asteroid. So the Earth is a destroyed. I've got a better idea about that, okay? Because there was there's the one guy who's clearly leading them at the start and that doesn't pan out so well for him in the long term, but it seems like he wants things to have a peaceful Revolution that resolution. Yes, maybe he's just trying to get Earth to expend all of its at Munitions so they have to surrender. Yeah, that was my thought. Yeah, we don't really know because the plan doesn't really play out or Anything. But the people on Earth are fucking psyched about aliens.

36:10 People are so excited. We see, there's this alien Mania sweeping the globe. Everyone's loving it. There's a talk show scene where that goes on for an extremely long amount of time and I deleted scenes in there. Like, it feels a lot longer than two minutes worries. We're like one guy sake. Like, well, there's no. Proof that they're aliens and the other guys are like do, but they're clearly aliens and that he's like, well, in the past, you said there weren't aliens. It's like, why are we having this conversation? They really cut this movie To The Bone. Yeah. If we could have had fucking shots of the smog monster and it said, we got this. We got scenes of Hedorah.

36:57 One of the just most obscure and wonderful Kaiju out there, cut for this scene. I am upset about Out that I do, be fair now, I'm upset about that. Yeah, I know the girl that stocking in this scene, is the girl that got killed in gmk in the hospital. That what the very sad seeing where Godzilla kills that girl. Oh, yeah, get away. Yeah, but that doesn't matter just because that's some dumb Cameo, doesn't mean that we should get. Hmm, whatever. Maybe it wasn't a contract, maybe it was the contract. Anyway. Our Our Gang is like, oh, this doesn't see bright something something bad's going on here.

37:41 If that's it, affects somebody tries to. Oh, I guess we didn't mention the secretary-general turns out he's alive, didn't get killed by Rodin, and in fact has was saved by the zillions. And is saying, now, we got to work with the zillions. We're going to be friends, we're not going to have a United Nations anymore. We're going to have a space Nation. Nations space Nations and the entire un starts clapping. Yeah, everyone's super excited about the space stations fucking because yeah, that's exactly how that would go Star Wars. And just top of the Dome, top of the Dome. Let's go around. Anybody have a better name off the top of their head United Federation of planets?

38:28 Yeah, United space. Yeah. Literally anything would be better. In space Nations, like United is sort of an important word in there. Maybe we're at space Nations and we're all at War. What message are we sending here? Yeah, well, then we're looking at Iron Sky. That's a completely different movie. This is true. And I think they said you were saying the Star Wars thing. Yeah. Oh, how's that one line, go? This is how democracy ends with cheers and Applause. Something like that Thunder. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, because your element, the space Nation. Is our announced the entire un gives a standing ovation. Everyone's excited about it. I guess there's one guy who isn't excited about it because some Rando tries to assassinate the secretary-general's, they like he's a traitor, he's gonna kill all of us and I think this guy is crazy far into the assassination. He actually stabbed the guy like we're no security. It's okay.

39:29 It was no big deal though. Despite the amount he bled on that handkerchief. Yeah. Now revealed that he was not, he was, in fact, an alien in Disguise. Whoops. Yeah. I was about to say that. Wasn't there something else that happened, like shortly before that, that like, kind of tip them off because I thought it was the scene before I thought like the scene before that were, is where it came out that like, they're having a conversation and something came out that the zillions don't blink or something like that. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's I think that's before that scene. But yeah, and then video for 3 seconds. He did not blink. Must be an alien. This is this is when we meet girl, number two in the movie. All right.

40:15 Mana sister Anna. Yeah. Yeah. Miyuki sister. Anna. Because for some reason we had to have two of these characters. It seems like you could buy them into one, I don't know. But yeah and she's a reporter no Anna is a reporter. Yes and and I had like interviewed them before interviewed the secretary. Before it is going to catch. Yes, my or whatever, but let's not get bogged down in the details, they figure out. Oh no. The leader of the UN is a is actually an alien. He's been replaced by an alien. Ozaki, goes off to tell his boss only to like realize that his bosses and planking so he's like shit and has to kind of just awkwardly like, we should increase security.

41:02 I'm not tipping my hand that you're an alien and has to offer. I'd leave the room as quickly as possible. Yeah, aliens watching that scene. Ozaki didn't blink either. Does that mean? He was mightily in the entire time as well? Well, he's a mutant fair and bad. So, maybe like, maybe they have like, the implication. Is there alienum ancestry. He is like half alien, right? Or land-based hanging out over there, all on its own. Looking at the rest of the DNA. Yeah, making him not blink. All right. What does Manila show up? I guess it's has been ill showed up yet. Yes, okay. Yeah, I got this in my notes. It's you know, it's what the monsters are attacking. Actually right?

41:46 Yes, right after Vancouver. I have written fucking baby Godzilla looking fuck. Yeah. I guess we should mention this. I just remembered this right now, we keep forgetting some stuff this movie. We're trying to get through it so much in this film. There's so much going on. Guess who's here? It's everybody. Favorite fucking character, Manila? Beat Godzilla. Looking. Fuck. Godzilla's son. Yeah adopted son. According to the wiki, it's like that there's no genetic like there. What's going on? Well yeah because remember in maybe you weren't with us for that episode when we first meet Manila and it's definitely Godzilla does not give birth or anything.

42:29 It's just a guy you just tag and decides. This is my child now. That that. Isn't that how that works? Like, that's how that works, isn't it? Yeah, that's how it worked for my son. We found an egg and were like, yeah, we can look after this thing, all right, you could definitely tell we're going for goofy 70s, Godzilla movie, because fucking Manila Is Here. Yeah, running subplot throughout the film about Manila and the Hunter and his grandson who found Manila, just Going on a road trip throughout the country and commenting on events. Now we're the best maintained sub thread in the movie wasn't. Wasn't that also a call back to another Godzilla movie? I'm like the the old Hunter and the little kid. I swear it's not in one of the older ones. I can't say for certain off the top my head, but that whole subplot very much felt like a show era. When the Godzilla movies were kids movies thing, just like that.

43:39 I feel like that was intentional as a result. It comes off weirdly saccharine in a film that is otherwise quite violent. But you know, they're just covering their bases with Godzilla. Exactly expect it. Yeah, it feels like something that Uh dropped out of like Godzilla's was it, Godzilla's Revenge? The one that it's all a dream of a child. Oh God, don't remind me. Yeah. No, you're not going to forget that one. We're not for, I know that we're not going to have that argument again about that movie because I actually not only are not okay, so you bring up a good point. This is like, you know, half actual movie and have clip show wrong. Anyway, Alex, let's speed it up, let's speed it up. They Those the UN Secretariat to know first before they expose him, they know there's one person who isn't an alien one person they could trust, he's been working out in a prison cell for striking, a superior officer, probably a woman, you know, maybe she'd already been turned into an alien at that time.

44:47 Maybe was okay. One small comment on that scene. I know, we we shouldn't get stuck in details but this one I just have to point out is abundantly clear that Captain Gordon thought that Ozaki had busted him out of jail for a foursome with the with the two female leads of the film because he just looks Ozaukee and goes like nice like it's so. Why would the whole not only is it not a foursome? My dude, I am. I am very much, not in good graces with either of these women, they have no interest whatsoever. Yes. This movie is very sexless. Yeah. Let's good word. Yes.

45:30 Um anyway, they expose the leader of the UN as secretly, an alien. They pull a trick where they're like, here's this dog, call your dog over to you and then it's not even really his dog and then I keep calling it Don Frye. But Gordon is a Gordon who shoots the UN secretary-general eventually. After like 10 minutes of this dog thing, I was like why is this happening? They're not even in front of people and then it zooms. Out. And there's like, people with cameras and like an audience. Why, why is nobody else making any noise while this is going on? Yeah, they're very shocked. All the cameras are live. That's just common knowledge. Yeah, it's a dog.

46:12 Call him by name. Oh, it's not your dog, though. This is everybody dogs? Yeah, you'd think somebody would have gasping or something at that. Yeah. And then at that, they kill him and he's exposed to be an alien. And they're like, ha! This is what you aliens actually look like. And it's like, yeah, they probably didn't actually look like humans. Like there's any looking weird. Yeah. And then, the leader of the aliens tries to talk his way out, but his second-in-command. And shoots him and takes over as the main villain for the rest of the film. Yeah, I think the the the old leader was going to explain his weird subtle, plan or whatever with the gore app, and then you can start to.

47:00 Yeah. And then these younger guys, like this is so fucking stupid. I'm just going to shoot you and guess what? It's just War. Now, we're just going to kill all of you actor. We're not going to kill all of you. We are going to make you cattle, he calls them cattle like non-stop. You really like is that word to be fair? That's a terrifying threat to throw it another species. Yes. Peak did also specify they were going to be their food. Yeah. Yeah the mitochondria yes. Yep. That's the thing. I think it's a lot later in the movie so it's very weird is like is this the best way for you to get food? It's the say you would Harvest people and that of course explains later that they need. There's something about humans that they Edith or whatever and then it's like okay it's fucking go time War has begun. All of the monsters are released attacking all of the city's again and all of the mutants that are part of the Earth Defense Force, I like, oh, we're going to get you aliens. And then, turns out, the aliens can't control all of the mutants.

48:08 Oh, no. And there's like the yes, well, because he's the main character. Yeah, one of the mutants calls an exhilaration. X-Man, which that possible? Yeah, that's a little. On the nose. Not go to exactly what I go to a Godzilla movie for a car chase. Yeah, the cycle taste is kind of bad ass though. Yes, they bust our heroes bust out what are the leader. The leader of the EDF. Sacrifice himself to save the day blah, blah, blah, whatever. And then you get up Fucking motorcycle chase. And it's kind of cool but it's also, as you mentioned, completely out of left field for a Godzilla movie, it's not just a Chase.

48:55 It's a motorcycle fight these. Yeah, that's true. Doodling, on top of motorcycles. Yes, it's a real Chopper dual. It is so stupid and I love it. I love it so much. Oh, it was fun. It does feel like it dropped out of another movie. Namely The Matrix. But it's pretty cool and our hero actually beats it this time and then that wakes him up from Alien control or something. They never looks like that. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. That's usually how that works. Yeah. That know they get mind-controlled, you beat them up.

49:35 Yeah. And then they come to so then we're in their secret underground, Hangar with all of the survivors. And they're like, okay we got to make a plan. Oh, I guess before that we see the EDF just get its ass. Kicked all over the world. Oh yeah, chicken detective Slaughter. Yeah, we see all of the other ships get destroyed, except the gotengo, which is it in the fight. All hope seems lost because I understand, they basically wiped out Humanity. Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer I guess. Pretty much all road to.

50:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a little unclear how much of humanity. They've killed the cities are not in good shape. I'll say that much. But of course, this leads us to the thing that we were all waiting for Godzilla to appear in the movie. Exactly. Like. Okay. The only way that we could stop all these monsters, it's, we have to release Godzilla and they're sort of calling on him like, wait. This seems like a terrible fight because if we let Go. Like, I still don't think we'll be able to beat the aliens. I still don't think we'll be able to stop Godzilla because we don't have any weapons. So even if Godzilla judge meet the aliens or the monsters, and we beat the aliens then we probably can't got stopped console because we don't have any weapons and then and the best part is that that is all explained on camera by a character.

51:06 So wait your plan is to go down to the South Pole and release Godzilla and then leading them back here and then he'll fight the Aliens and all of the monsters. Hmm. And then we'll, we'll beat the aliens, mmm. And then what you'll take him back down to the South Pole. Mmm, I'm gonna imprison him again, all right? Because he's like, I did it before and we find out that, of course, God fried. Yeah, who fired the missiles that trapped Godzilla and Ice for all these years. Yeah. So, I contributed to moment. Yeah, exactly.

51:47 Feels like the captain was really the one in charge and the guy who presses the button to launch the torpedo. I don't know how much you were involved because maybe like loaded it, but well, it was more of a pulling down a lever. Was it? Not I guess we get to see it. Yeah. It's more pulling down a little. Okay. And he yelled really dramatically while he was doing it so he does get points for that. Yeah, that is probably wasn't photoshopped into that scene. All right, and then if I can, we do it. They go to the South Pole to go, get Godzilla. We meet the two people that have been guarding Godzilla this whole time, who are too honest to other MMA fighters? Hey Harrelson.

52:32 Yeah, these guys are two other MMA fighters. Yes. Oh gosh, I have their name, one of them even mentions. We're not alone out there anymore so I think they sort of State how wiped out humanity is at this point. Yeah. They're like they're sort of like, yeah. We're just gonna sort of chill here while the Earth ends but then one of them does a spit take what they're like, hey, we're gonna, they're gonna come to release Godzilla and they go down, and they do release Godzilla and Godzilla finally busts out, and it's fucking Godzilla time baby. And now, only an hour into the movie and then, you know, the movie picks the fuck up. A bit.

53:14 Yeah, Godzilla immediately. Kills the two guys that were monitoring. His prison immediately felt sad about them. They did. They were the two people. They were the two people on Earth at the time that deserves to Die. The least out of a massage they had nothing Godzilla's eyes though. They'd kept him in prison for like decades delicious me. Sitting there doing a job. It was a posting. It's not like they were Torturing him or anything like that. They were just like okay we're just we just sit here and you know keep watch on this and you know say hi when people contact us every three months someone calls in, hey Godzilla still asleep. Yep.

53:55 And they go back to playing ping-pong well, regardless Godzilla is now on the loose and the Xillia commanders going to be like, okay, I guess we got a sense of monsters after him so he gives an incredible yell, both the Actor. And the original actor, given incredible yell of guy. God. It's that yells rise, it Clips, it's so silly. He's just devouring the scenery here and I thought it was sort of a weird read. It's hey guys, rice. And I think this movie's design of Gigan is great. It's really cool.

54:45 So cool. And you can shoot lasers out of his eyes though, which is really neat. Yeah. I thought the chain torso is pretty neat. Yeah. Yeah. It's they're really going for it. I mean, he always had the chain torso but he's really fucking going for it. So we're now running. Get over here Klaus. Yeah. So this is it. We've got our big monster fight. Okay, let's sit down. Let's have a big long monster fight between guy getting Godzilla. Nope, 30 seconds. If that those just like yeah, fuck you Breeze, Atomic breath, blows them up immediately. It's somewhere in there.

55:25 There was the Zilla fight which the wiki tells me is the shortest monster fight and all of God's. Well, that's backs. That's next. Oh, oh, got ya. So he kills guy again, you're thinking about how God comes back later. Inexplicably, that's a second guy can fight somehow again returned. Yes. And so God. So yeah. For the rest of the movie Godzilla, stop it around like he's in new game+ or something. And first, he goes to Sydney and just immediately kill. Zilla, like even faster. He breathes once Zilla Dodges. It, it's like, oh, this might be if no hits him with his tail, smashes into the Sydney Opera house. It just destroys him while Sum 41 is playing. Oh yeah, great song great song yeah. Oh yeah.

56:14 That was that, that scene was chefs. Kissed perfect. Yes. I feel like the reason they use that song, is because the word super sizes in there. Yes, it's tacos. It says, we're all to blame as they're showing the terrible Godzilla. No, definitely not, okay. Also that just rolls. And yeah, from this point on, we just see Godzilla, take down a murderer's row. It'll go through this really quick fights, the The spider. Come on guy, almost. Got you into space? Yeah, come on. Good now could explicitly shoot a web that turns into a net? It doesn't matter Godzilla. Grabs them swings around, throws them away.

56:56 Dud keeps going takes on, come macor��s, just breathes, fire at him, knocks him into a fucking power pole and impales the fucker done next that was cool. The commander is also has a can cloak now Which is pretty wild. Yeah, that's completely new. Does it trick Godzilla though? Yeah, it's like Godzilla. Just figures a, you know, what doesn't matter if he's hiding? If I just destroy every available hiding spot. Yeah, and he's right. He is absolutely correct. Like it worked. Then he takes on three guys at once, some of his old homies, from the other movies and giris, whatever, King Caesar and Rodan. And the actual Give them a moment. Like this fight actually takes almost a little bit longer than the other ones because we see like the three of them there for moments.

57:50 Like oh man is this going to be it? Is this going to be no of course not. What does he do? Just wrexham play soccer with Anguirus, knocks Road and out of the sky, but he doesn't kill any of them. Um, these are the only Kaiju in the film that he doesn't kill which maybe he recognizes them as you know, old friends, while drinking Bodies. Maybe I also read and you know apocryphal stories or whatever. They didn't want to destroy the suits by exploding them because they wanted to use them for promotional materials. It's a sense that could have been it too, but it could be both things. Things can be more than one thing. Yeah. I like to imagine. It's because he recognized old friends. Yeah.

58:36 Not that. This movie could take place anywhere in any timeline. Yeah. This doesn't work in any of the continuities but it doesn't matter. Then he finally out and every single time the the Xillia 2 Commander alien is just losing his mind. He's getting so frustrated every time Godzilla just immediately dunks on these guys. Well I mean wouldn't you? Ah beep. Yeah good point. I mean I like to see Godzilla at the top of his field. Yes. And he really is in this one. Yeah, now Godzilla's, finally make it to Tokyo and we see what comes out. Of the water. We think it's going to be Godzilla. No, it's ever being blasted Away by got some not first. It's just not ever ahead Aurora.

59:23 I'm sorry, I got that wrong slammed into a building and then it's Abra who impales Hedorah, which apparent and then Godzilla blast them both. And apparently that's enough to kill them even though Hedorah was really fucking hard to kill in his in his first appearance. But like at this point Godzilla so strong that, you know, You know, I got it. He was also working out in prison. Yeah, that's what he's got. A lot of pent-up atomic fire breath. Yes he was. It's like doing the one punch man. Workout routine while he was trapped in the ice. I was thinking aboard the workout from.

1:00:03 Oh yeah, go. Yeah. Every day. 100 pushups. 100 sit-ups. Never change the temperature until he's the buffest Kaiju alive. Yeah, I was thinking of the, the I work out in our our if you see that where he's working out in prison it just becoming the buffest dude ever. I had every workout did not did not leave much when a person in my mind. Okay. Well, he's like it's whatever. I won't get it. Sidetracked on it. All right and now Godzilla could finally take on the Mother Ship but he seems to be uninterested in destroying the mothership. I don't know why seems like that's a with baby attack the mothership. But instead they go Tango has to attack the mothership and to can't It sucks. It Shields are too strong.

1:00:47 Yeah it's got a in the immortal words of Captain Gordon, damn it. It's got a barrier Shield, kind of, there's such amazing dialogue in this movie, yes. Oh good, okay, but then Kazama the Rival, the guy, the bad guy who was brainwashed and is now not brainwashed. Independence days himself? Yeah, what is this? They could not be more Independence. Day, the ships flying everywhere looks like Independence Day with a touch of episode six. Yeah you're right and it is a sphere. Yes.

1:01:31 And he does blow it up by just slamming a plane right into it while the hypest music plays. It's pretty cool but Pleasant And then it's like, okay well now that gotengo could get in and then the a leads immediately just teleported to the go take him and kill him. Except for the main cast.

1:02:13 Well yeah I could kill the main cast. He says he is he says I have plans for you and he doesn't he seems like he maybe has plans for the one guy like our lead mutant, but the rest of all, he seems like he probably should have just killed his plans for them and mostly it's the one guy but the plan is still forming so got to figure it out as he goes, he's not really kind of plans. Maybe he has dinner plans for the rest of them. That's like Darth Vader. Okay I think now that I think about it probably the plan was because like he immediately awakens Ozaki as the one they call he is apparently a Kaiser, a mix of human and alien DNA.

1:02:58 That has a 1 in a billion chance of being the strongest being in existence. And apparently the main villain is also a Kaiser. So does that mean he's part human? That's not important right now. Yeah. But he Awakening, this was on mainly and in basically, yeah, he awakens all talkies Kaiser powers and that temporarily brainwashes him. So maybe the plan was like, okay, I'm going to test the limits of my brainwashing by keeping his friends alive so that I can get him to kill his friends. Well I like the best we can do is try to do. Yeah yeah and the like it was explained why Ozaki couldn't be brainwashed to begin with even though he is a mutant is because he's this Kaiser who hasn't awakened yet.

1:03:41 Yes like yeah. I like they should have just called him. The one like we should have just seen really controller is also a Kaiser. It would have to be the two. Well, no but he's agent Smith so like Whatever. Yeah, Ethan Smith is kind of the one of the machine Army. Yeah, that. Yeah. A true then. All hope seems lost are also Godzilla. I guess we should mention Godzilla, is also having some trouble because they've called down another monster from space who sort of floats down like an anime villain after Got No Blows him out of a meteor. So I guess korath was real.

1:04:25 Yeah, I guess gorath was real guns and let's just like face tanks. This meteor and is unscathed by it, but apparently the meteor contained Monster X. The final boss of the film. Yes. All right. I get a little sketchy towards the end of the film. Yeah. Well, there's not much to it. Yeah. And too much to it. Yeah, I guess that's also true. Monster X is the only original monster in the film and I think he looks pretty cool. He does look pretty cool. I will give it that, he's a good design and then the fact that he, you know, you could sort of see cuz he's going to transform later on. You could sort of see signs of what he's going to. Foreman 22.

1:05:12 We have pretty neat little bit of visual foreshadowing. I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah, but Monster X is the first Monster who is not immediately Dev destroyed by Godzilla. Just got Scylla. So then mocked her comes in. So, control, extends a new guy gain after her and they have a backup final battle while console is having his main final battle. Well, there's a bird exactly final battle between Ozaukee and controller X. Yeah. It's a lot, but I think it's cool. Yeah. Well, you said it was kind of cool. Yeah. Yeah. The monster battles. Kind of cool. The way it ended. I was sort of confused because authors on Fire diving through guy again.

1:05:57 I'm like wait, is this what master planned all along or is not just on fire and dead? Yeah, well Gigan exploded her but she survived long enough to explode. Him back my father has never made it to the end of a movie. I think Mothra dies at the end of that fight. Nobody says anything about it though. No, I mean does this matter come back after this film or his mother, okay. Since this is in its own continuity for Zuma bleah. She is dead. We never see any evidence of her having children, the way other continuities have it. So Bob way sacrificed herself to take Gigan out of a fight. What about adopted?

1:06:37 Children can't confirm or deny over the credits. We see Mothra flying around infant Island, but we also see hetero and stuff. So, so who knows if that's cut footage. Yeah, who knows she was a rock. Going to survive but that was cut. What? Well, such a weird thing to cut whatever. Yeah, we're at least. Maybe everybody's. Okay, and it was just for pretends he's I will say two things about the Mothra guy. Get fight. One guy gets shoots razor blades at bother up, mrs. At the razor blades cut his own head off. I assumed that was because they went through her like, projectile reflecting powder because that's typically what our scales do.

1:07:23 But It's so weirdly edited and also he does shoot the blades out of his nipples. I do have to point that out. Yeah, I mean I want, I do 40K, so it's nothing new for me. Yeah. And other thing I'm gonna say, is this look, Martha is theoretically, like sort of the protector of the Earth, like has fought gegen before save the Earth from these aliens. Where the fuck was Mothra? Well, everything was else was going on, why is that? Now when Martha is showing up, I know what happened. It's a big nap, the the show but Jen only like pray, it's like hmmm maybe this was a bad idea to Leave It All To Godzilla, maybe we should wake up the boss and have her help, you know.

1:08:08 This might have been a bad idea to leave to Godzilla, especially since Godzilla was imprisoned in ice. Yeah, hindsight hindsight anyway. What so we have the fight between Godzilla Monster X and on the Ship all seems lost. It seems like our Kaiser is now joined up with the aliens except for. It's like a dagger thing that will show machine gave him earlier. Yeah. Ancient amulet. Yeah Miyuki stabs that into ozaki's back and that Magics the mind-control out of him. And then he says that the stabbed and he says the line that they repeat several times throughout the movie as if it's important but doesn't really seem like it's that important.

1:08:54 You choose what to do with your powers, whether it's good or evil. It's your choice or something to that effect. Well, it's his Mantra. It's his new mantra. So it, you know, it draws out his, his true potential to be a good guy, I guess. Yes. Well a less bad guy and we'll see what he does. Once Humanities back to full power. Yes. Being that, he's a God now. Yeah, and so he has a crazy fight with the X. Alien controller and it's fucking it's a bunch of Matrix shit, that's okay. But yeah. Also goes on for a while. I will say the think I like least about this, I don't like the set of the alien ship. It's pretty ugly and pretty boring. Look it's like the like 2010 Tardis. If they took all the interesting stuff out, it looks inside of an art deco, lamp in the most boring way possible. All right of also fighting controller X, all the other humans escape and we discover that the humans who have been replaced by aliens, the gdf commander, the secretary-general the other GF commander who we haven't mentioned because he's not important.

1:10:10 Yeah there are also alive and have escaped somehow literally they don't give an explanation they just said we escaped somehow. Yeah and apparently the secretary-general can use a gun. What's the line? He says that they called me. Hotshot or whatever. They used to call me mr. One shot which I don't think that means what you think it means. Yeah, it really doesn't in Japanese, they said something different, they call us calm, mr. Something shot is a reference, that is another reference. That's why that line is in there because he played a secret agent character. That was called like mr. One shot or something like that. Okay. So it's not for it. Yeah, it would be like, if Sean Connery, Showed up in a movie playing a completely different character, and then they call me Jake, oldest, Shawn James Shawn.

1:11:00 Oh yeah, that would actually be how they would describe. Yeah. And if there, there's an interminable laser gun fight between all of the humans and the Xillia pne's Gordon, gets it to a fight with two of the Xillia dance. In a hand-to-hand fight. He's which he initiates. Because they point a gun at him, and he has a katana, has a katana in this movie and he just takes the katana, plants it in the wall, and raises, his fists, and the Excellence. Just look at your like, yeah. Okay. And they tossed, the gun aside and decide sure, I remembered there was a katana planted in the wall, but I forgot the context of it.

1:11:42 It was that. Yes, he puts it in the wall, he doesn't really use that Katana much. He mostly just has waves that around to look cool. Like the female alien who stole it uses it more than he does. It is yeah, then after he's at the end of the fight, he's about to hit one of the eggs, ilion's that she's like you wouldn't hit a girl with you. He's like, yeah. And he karate chops are big battles. Going on, whatever Our Heroes escape a Godzilla shoots his Atomic breath at the spaceship at one point, which messes it up. We're melding all this stuff together but the way it does, in my memory, Our Heroes escape and once everything is seemingly done, it is Monday leveled that.

1:12:30 Well first before the directs has to go to his final form, which is Ghidorah, or a new version of Ghidorah called Kaiser. Ghidorah and he's dope. It's actually really good design for Ghidorah. Yeah, and Kaiser Ghidorah beats Godzilla just like beets in grabs it by By the, Yeah, like everything. Before this, I sort of regret that I wasn't able to complete a re-watch, but I remember this being kind of cool. Yes, it's also the first time Couture has gravity, beams actually have gravity Powers. They call them gravity.

1:13:11 Beans. But they've just been lightning until this movie where he actually uses them to levitate Godzilla and toss him through a building. Yeah, well, you know, the Layman does not understand what gravity is. That's, I guess not and all hope seems lost Godzilla. We blown up the alien Mothership, but now look at Kaiser, Ghidorah is going to kill Godzilla. And then guys could always just get destroyed the Earth. What are we going to do? Godzilla needs our help. How are we going to help Godzilla? He's losing all of this energy? I don't know. I forget explain. Ozaki somehow uses his Kaiser powers to fire a wave of like healing energy at Godzilla through the go Tangos.

1:13:52 Maser Cannon. Seems Jit. Yeah. And it's kind of cool as he's like, going through like that. It's very cool. / ridiculous. This is like, he's pressing like some buttons to make it happen and then just an infinity symbol if he was on the computer screen. And then laser shoots out a, he gives his Kaiser energy to Godzilla, which is up to make Godzilla be like, okay, fuck you. Give to her and he just, he just kills Ghidorah. Yes. Maybe it's not official in the movie but that becomes Kaiser Godzilla. Yes, I suppose. So I never thought of it like that it is pretty good. He takes off guitars heads like one at a time and then it's like smacking him around for a while and then finally blasted into space.

1:14:37 Hmm. Nobody's done hydras right since the ancient Greeks and now we've got the big problem because we keep having big problems. Everyone's dead except Godzilla and Godzilla's fucking pissed off. He immediately grounds the go Tango, like yeah. In even hesitate. Yeah after the ghost a ghost a of Debbie's immediate like that was stupid of you asshole. It's immediately destroys it. Well I'll be fair. The go Tango was the reason he was Trapped Under Ice. This is true. Yes, we got really bored under there. Don't tell he was, he was working out bang, bang, bang. And then we have everybody like on the ground like looking up at Godzilla and like do Not fried it's like draw his katana. Like he's gonna go hit Godzilla like they're getting their guns in the like pointy of operative.

1:15:30 It's like what the fuck just think is gonna happen here? He just think of the back to those assholes with riot shields. Yeah, right. It's not about winning, it's about sending a message. Will Godzilla receive that message? Probably not, but you can't say we didn't send it. Well, Godzilla gets another message though because out of nowhere. We see the hunter guy, the kid and Manila pull up in their truck into this fucking grown to giant size that he hasn't grown the truck. He's getting bigger but he actually throws to giant size. Adjust the second and what happened to make him grow.

1:16:13 It was like, seeing Godzilla and trying to emulate them. Yeah. It's just cuz he did it in the, in the other movie, was able to get big. So he's able to do it at this one. Fuck it. Don't worry about it. Fair enough. And we do a little thing where they're talking about. We saw a couple of the seeds earlier. The little boy was s Keys. Dad like why is Godzilla so mad at all of us? Cause we suck is that's like because we use nukes once and Godzilla's still hasn't forgiven us from that. It seems like why would you be attacking Japan if you're mad about nukes? Like if there's one place to attack. Wait wait didn't nukes. Make Godzilla from an iguana depends on which Continuity, you're going with gotcha. The Iguana is only the, the TriStar American. Well, yeah, especially that one was the Zillow one. Yeah, right, right.

1:17:05 Yeah. There is, I feel like in the earlier films, there was some indication that nukes did make Godzilla. Yeah, they woke him up at least. Yeah, I was about to say, I thought it was a welcome up. Well, remember in the in the heisei ones he was a Godzilla Soros, which was a separate dinosaur that It had just opened a big Forever on an island. Yeah, I don't spin while you went. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do again. I don't know if you're with us. Well, that episode. But yeah, remember that would that was, that was the one with the time travel. That didn't make any goddamn sense. We don't have time to get into that again. Oh my God. Yes. But anyway, but anyway, the menial runs forward and he's like, Mmm, Mmm, because he can't talk is his fucking Kaiju and he like, puts his arms up to be like, no.

1:17:54 Kill them Godzilla. We need to be friends now and the same kid does the same to stop the humans from doing it? Please, don't you Godzilla? We have to be friends now. And then this is when Manila gets super big for some reason. I mean to be fair, he's communicating his boat as well as my toddler does in that. Instant, I may be about tracking when Manila gets big, but regardless he he gets really big. We couldn't have been that big before because he had been in the truck. Now he has to get bigger. So yeah, he wasn't in the truck when he got to that. Seen like he at some point he started getting bigger and we just don't cut back to the Hunter and his kid until. Yeah, they show up following Manila in the final scene. I guess.

1:18:35 You're right. Maybe not in the truck. Yeah. No, they're in the truck, it just bonilla's on the truck. He wasn't. There you go. Regardless manila's like don't kill them and for some reason Godzilla's like yeah. Okay. Fine. The guzzle just walks away. Yeah, Godzilla and menu walk off into the sunset walk into the Chin. And the humans are like, well I guess we got to rebuild the entire ye of human Civilization now. So Brian Stalin's just real happy. Nobody called him on not getting Godzilla trapped in ice and they're like, I guess it's over. And then that our hero man is like, no, it's just the beginning.

1:19:17 No, but like for real, he's for realsies though. I think like pretty much everything is over. We've got eight of us left. There's probably other humans around somewhere, right? See and you know, on the mainland. Also, here's the thing to, we established earlier, it was established early in the movie that nothing happened in Canada. Like, no Canada was safe this whole time. I hear there's just people in Canada watching what's going on on the news going. Well I'm glad it's not us, not Mechagodzilla attacked Canada we just didn't see that clearly Canada safe from Kaiju because I can name three cities from here. Exactly.

1:19:58 All right. God. I'm and then the last thing we see, the last thing we see is Godzilla roaring and that is the last time Godzilla was maybe we'll ever be played by suit actor and that that was his series for a solid ten years and then they play the terrible documentary sounding music again. I can't hate well documentary sounding music. Well, it was the end for ten years. What's what's our next movie? That would 2014 2016 2014, the first of the American mobster verse films by Led who I was not sure if those counted made to celebrate 60 years because we have didn't mention it but this was the 50-year anniversary of the big guy which is why this movie such a celebration.

1:20:49 Yeah, I actually know somebody who's in the first monster verse Godzilla as an extra because they did some of the Filming for that out in BC o heat. Yeah. It was one of the soldiers on the train. I think nice. They do some pretty interesting stuff from BC. All right, so now it's time for us to rate this movie. Okay. So how on a scale of one to five? What do you think of this one? I'll go first. Fucking this movie rules. I love this movie. It's got a million problems and I overlook every single one. It's just a it's as there's a new idea, every fucking 10 seconds, and so many Monsters Everywhere.

1:21:37 Godzilla stomping on all of them. Motorcycle fights, I love it. I give it 5, motorcycle fights out of 5. I'll go next. I I also really like this movie right from the beginning. I knew it was one of those like really fun romps I can't give it a perfect score because there was like, that's a fish from you. Yeah, I know, right? They didn't like, I think they cut some stuff that could have been left in, and it would have improved the movie. I get that it was a long run time as it was. So, I'm gonna have to give it four cups of coffee out of 5.

1:22:19 I'm with, I'm with Dan. I love this movie. It is so, so stupid and so bright. Right? And so proud of what it is and it's sincere. God fucking damn it. This is a sincere movie like they never smile and wink at the camera. Like yeah we know this is ridiculous. They commit to the fucking bit every step of the way and it is the most fun. You can have watching a Godzilla film absolutely. Like I give this thing 5 Pillsbury Doughboy Godzilla children out of five man. I love this thing. Aang. All right. And as always, I give this a five out of five after that.

1:23:00 Hit the head. I do not remember the numbers before 5:00. It's problems are glaring. I, it's a real weird movie but 5 out of 5 from me. Okay. We got to teach you. Those other numbers. It's okay. You're allowed to make like it but they've tried. It's just doesn't take. Well, this has been our April 1st episode of Daniels Dyke. Hyeju Tails, wrap it up the last chapter of the Godzilla Saga for now Dan. It's a Daniels dead Kaiju theater. You're getting confused with that last podcast. Oh yeah. Do that.
