Godzilla

And I don't know if it's because the movies or show, like, I don't know if it's because it's getting better or again, simply because I have Stockholm syndrome.

I love the identity the MonsterVerse movies have now because they've thrown away Godzilla 2014.

They tried to do serious.

It didn't work because the writing was bad.

Yes.

There's a lot of trying to get the crystal because they know that that's how Skarkane controls Shimo.

But I will also say in most of the other movies, save for like the beginning of Godzilla 2014, because they didn't know giant monsters are real.

They make an effort to be like, and we try to evacuate the city as much as possible.

Oh.

He did, um, he did the first Godzilla movie when they, like, relaunched the whole franchise, like, back in 2014.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rogue...

Yeah.

The Godzilla movie was good for the first 30 minutes.

Yeah, they're, they're o- I mean, they're okay.

So he plays, it's a lot of small roles, but he's in, so you haven't seen that.

He's in Godzilla 2014.

He's in I, Robot, Elysium, Chronicles of Riddick, Triple X, State of the Union, Romeo Must Die.

I might know him from Chronicles of Riddick more than anything.

So I thought it was interesting that while San Francisco features prominently in, you know, various drafts of the unmade Godzilla movies, it feels like Las Vegas has become pretty much tied with New York for like American cities frequently chosen to host Godzilla or, you know, at least be Godzilla adjacent.

This is our show's third portrayal of a kaiju rampage.

in Las Vegas, first in Godzilla 2014 with the female Muto, and then with the giant awesome battle featuring Orga in Godzilla Rulers of Earth.

Oh, yeah.

And now here.

But otherwise, it's like there is no real reason for this issue to happen.

And conceptually, I think it could be a good idea.

Godzilla story intercut with this random person who also has a story and where they intersect like it is very Godzilla 2014 in its way.

It was kept because effects supervisor Ken Ralston liked the fact that it was all messed up.

While the Jaws sequels stopped at number four, originally, their plan in the movie was to advertise a 2015 version of Godzilla, which would have been remarkably prescient had it happened, considering Gareth Edwards' Godzilla remake came out in 2014.

Eagle-eyed viewers will also see baby Elijah Wood credited as Video Game Boy number two.

The Wild Gunman arcade machine was made for the movie, but it was a real Nintendo title, not available in arcades, but available to buy on the NES or N-E-S, as most of the world call it, basically that little Nintendo box that we all had when we were kids.

And I'm just saying, Hey, good on good one-on-one fight and just see what happens.

And I want to kind of let those two, you know, I forget the actor's name, but that first Godzilla with the whole, like, let them fight.

Like, that's what I want.

Just like, let them fight and let's see what's up.

I'd love to be some chips.

He was also in Hawk's favorite film from 2014, Godzilla.

Great film.

That's a

And, uh, it is also a very slow paced like political thriller The first movie is very m- very few Gundams and very few mobile suits in general.

It's mostly about, uh, Noa being like kind of a, a secret agent on earth who meets a, a very beautiful woman, uh, who is also a secret agent and they spend a lot of the movie kind of like almost, uh, in a sort of a like a James Bond-y way like feeling each other out whether they can trust each other or not and there's lots of sexual tension and there's the, i, as I mentioned quite a lot my f- probably my favorite sequence in any Gundam ever where, uh, it is shot like a Godzilla movie where, uh, Noa is trying to escape the high rise hotel while a mobile suit, uh, battle has broken out outside

Yeah.

Uh, you mention that and I think that whole concept is really cool.

Yes.

It, it fuckin' whips and I think this one in particular is fucking great.

It reminds me of the Halo jump from that fucking Godzilla movie where there's like one incrediblesequence that you'll never forget and then like a lotta other stuff happens too

G- I remember-
