GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE MOVIE REVIEW This new film in the monsterverse continues the story from the last film where Godzilla was VS Kong instead of X Kong (which we’re still not sure what the x is specifically supposed to mean as they never multiply them by each other). To be clear, this […]

GODZILLA MINUS ONE MOVIE REVIEW Godzilla has been known to overshadow his co-stars (figuratively and literally) but Godzilla Minus One deliberately centers its story around its human characters. During the final months of WW2, a kamikaze pilot named Koichi (Ryunosuke Kamiki), abandons his suicide mission by flying back to base for bogus repairs. No sooner […]

GODZILLA SINGULAR POINT SERIES REVIEW The newest attempt at Godzilla in anime form has hit Netflix, although this one feels a little different.

GODZILLA VS KONG MOVIE REVIEW The battle of the major-domo monsters is finally here, as Legendary Entertainment’s Monsterverse comes to a head with Godzilla, previously in their “Godzilla” and “Godzilla: King of the Monsters”, battling it out with a now-bigger and older King Kong, previously seen in their “Kong: Skull Island”.

Matt assembles Morgan, Quinn, and Mayhem’s Muse once more to tackle the second Netflix Godzilla animated film! Will MechaGodzilla City be the fatal blow for the now all-powerful “Godzilla Earth”?

Matt Frank sits down again with Chris as a sidekick and regales him (and all of you, natch) with tales of his adventures in Tokyo. Which, of course, means lots of stories about hanging out with other famous Godzilla and Kaiju creative folks. Listen up.

Instead, the show is split into two halves: first you get the lovely Catherine Burke O’Malley who joins Chris to talk about a few CW tv show seasons. Next, Matt Frank joins Chris […]
