MylesHOST
Uh, but that series, as it has evolved, has turned into a marshmallows with your cereal, fun, very colorful Showa era, uh, kinda series.
MylesHOST
Like, you know, this last movie, Godzilla x Kong: New Empire, super kid-friendly, I would say.
PatrickHOST
It's gone certainly from, like, sepia tone to neon.
MylesHOST
Uh, absolutely, and kind of the nature of the beast because if you think about the era that we grew up in, we had toys for every R-rated franchise.

PatrickHOST
'Cause you think about in all the Friday the 13th movies, Jason is the constant.
PatrickHOST
The, the teenagers get killed, few of them come back, not even always played by the same actor, but for the most part, why are the audiences there? They're there to see Jason, and there's something about that Friday the 13th parallel with Jason being the constant versus the victims, and in this case, Godzilla, sometimes portrayed as a hero, and you know, mankind's savior.
PatrickHOST
Other times very much portrayed as the villain, but let's be honest, all of us, and that kid that was next to me in New Empire, he was there for Godzilla.
PatrickHOST
He wasn't there for the human drama and the talking heads.
AdamHOST
the Blair Witch remake or continuation movie.
AdamHOST
He's done the past two Godzilla Kong movies.
AdamHOST
So he's the live action American Death Note movie.
AdamHOST
So he's done some good movies, some bad movies and some in between.
Kayla KnutsonHOST
publicity.
Kevin CarpenterHOST
And today we are talking about Godzilla X Kong, The New Empire.
Kevin CarpenterHOST
Officially, Adam Wingard says that the X is silent, but I am ignoring him.
Kevin CarpenterHOST
I love him.
Kayla KnutsonHOST
And.
Kayla KnutsonHOST
Just use the and.
Kevin CarpenterHOST
No, it's Godzilla X Kong, except actually it's Godzilla Kong, the new empire.
Kevin CarpenterHOST
That's dumb.
Mike DeCristoforoHOST
Uh,
Mike SmithHOST
and then there's the two Godzilla Kong movies that he made, right? He made Godzilla versus Kong, which is pretty fun.
Mike SmithHOST
And Godzilla X Kong, the new empire, which is less fun.
Mike SmithHOST
Uh, that's, uh,
David Garrett Jr.HOST
I've seen 9 for 52%.
David Garrett Jr.HOST
He did a few borderline ones for me, like The Guest, a couple of the newer MonsterVerse films, like Godzilla vs. Kong, and then Godzilla x Kong New Empire.
David Garrett Jr.HOST
Officially has 11 in genre.
David Garrett Jr.HOST
I've seen 6 for 54%.
TayHOST
Yeah.
TayHOST
um in terms of like their decision making they're still having a lot of fun on screen but it's done in a much more professional looking way and i really appreciated seeing the progression of someone who i've really looked up to my entire filmmaking life adam wingarden his creative partner simon barrett i just have always admired what they've been able to do on small budgets and just having fun that's why i was disappointed when he jumped ship to do the Godzilla Kong movies but that's not a knock on him like obviously like you take that chance if it comes you get to make a Godzilla movie just take it like I'm not gonna hold that against him ever but I was just disappointed in the sense I want him to make stuff like this and I'm hoping I haven't actually checked on the box office I'm hoping it's doing okay because my theater was very empty on opening night Not that I expected much else, but just we've been having a good year at the box office for a lot of the underdogs, and I was hoping this would be in the same category.
TimHOST
Yeah, so it was made for reportedly $15 million, and just looking now, it's got about $3 million, is what Box Office Mojo says.
TimHOST
Yikes.
Paul F. TompkinsGUEST
Mm.
Emily GonzalezHOST
Um, but this does mark the first full official collaboration between director Adam Wingard and composer Matthew Puści, um, who he apparently wanted to do the soundtrack for Godzilla versus Kong.
Emily GonzalezHOST
Godzilla x Kong.
Emily GonzalezHOST
Godzilla and Kong? What would you, what is...
Emily GonzalezHOST
When there's an X-
Paul F. TompkinsGUEST
It was a collab.
Sammy SmartHOST
Times collab.
Sammy SmartHOST
Multiplied.
Kyle StuckHOST
We don't do the same format where we do positives and negatives.
Kyle StuckHOST
It's just kind of like... train of thought just like vomit let's just talk about this not as again detailed so along with that we usually are very good about calling out spoilers and so with this being a bag we're talking about various films when we feel like we need to get into spoilers for that film we will call it out and if you want to skip ahead because you don't want spoilers just check the show notes and carly will have will have marked um when a film is being discussed and then when the spoilers are being discussed so you can hop around at your leisure but once again we will call it out don't be afraid um unless that is what you into you kinky little freak all right so let's start off with dead birds which is from 2004 it was directed by alex turner and it was written by simon barrett and if you're like i recognize that name why do i recognize that name well simon is known for your next the guest vhs various segments across the those different anthologies and The 2016 Blair Witch, Azrael, and Godzilla, Times Con, X-Con, whatever you want to say, The New Empire.
Kyle StuckHOST
And you may be saying, Kyle, you just said you're not going to give us a lot of detail, and you just told us this whole guy's filmography.
Kyle StuckHOST
What the heck? Well, that's because a lot of these films...
DougHOST

DerekHOST
But he also gives saying that, like, I t- I tend to say G-X-K all the time as the acronym, 'cause it also works well with the GVK as well.
Merrilee O'NeilGUEST
Mm-hmm.
DerekHOST
So he's, like, not mad if you use the X, but officially he wants the title to be Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Merrilee O'NeilGUEST
Interesting.
Brandi Jo PlanbeckHOST
I feel like there's another one.
Jeremy RuskHOST
And then there's another Godzilla-Kong movie.
Jeremy RuskHOST
Cause there was Godzilla versus Kong and then Godzilla Kong, the new empire.
Jeremy RuskHOST
So there's two of them.
