Rodan

And once that door opens, good luck closing it.

King Kong, Mothra, Rodan, King Gojira, Mechagodzilla, Hidora, Gigan, Biollante, and Destoroyah.

The character shifts from villain to anti-hero to defender, back to the terrifying force of nature.

The original Showa series alone became 15 Godzilla films between 1954 and 1975.

Godzilla helped establish the Japanese kaiju tradition.

And once Toho realized audiences wanted monsters fighting monsters, the mythology exploded.

Rodan, Mothra, Ingeris, King Gojira, Gigan, Mechagodzilla.

Eventually, movies weren't simply about defeating a monster.

Um, then the rest of the game, again, I was just, I was really impressed with like come seventh inning.

Cause it really didn't do much against Carlos Rodan, who I don't think gets enough credit for being a really good regular season pitcher in innings eater, if you will.

And then you get to the seventh inning, and they let Rodan face Vientos and Benj.

Benj gets the single with one out, and they bring in our old friend Paul Blackburn.

And Paul Blackburn goes ahead and walks Marcus Simeon, so first and second one out.

He always brings up, like, you haven't had a losing season since 1992.

I'm like, yes.

so you understand that there are levels to this the way this sport is set up and the way the yankees over a century established a standard as a wise man once said the standard is a standard i should be annoyed if my team who has more money than god chooses not to spend the money in order to compete i don't expect them when the world series every year or go to world series every year but like Don't lose because you're a pitcher down because you didn't go after one because you tried to tell me that calls Rodan is a number three starter when he's not.

Mm-hmm

... and Rodan all in it.

Um, so it was during this point that they were trying to renew their, uh, license with To- with Toho to have the rights to Mothra.

I think they maybe have to do it, like, on a movie to movie basis or whatever.

The spiders, the animals.

I think just flying in from the airport, like Rodan can come in and just grab the plane and just kind of take it places.

Wow, that just went next level right there.

Yeah, that's what Godzilla fought.

listing off

spiders and snakes and sharks.

Nope, went straight to Rodan.

Now, because we are here, we got big news on the Rams 49ers game coming up in a second.
