Cinema_PSYOPS_EP487: Giant Monsters FSU: Rodan (1956) (Main Feed)
There is very little time or point in an explanation. To be blunt,
the audio came from a timeline and dimension that has collapsed
at a quantum level, rendering it null and void in terms of existence.
Operational time in the dimensional continuum where the beings
that created the audio collapsed in on itself,
rendering all of their civilization, including technology, null and void.
Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing.
The destruction has a nexus that centers. On Cinema PsyOps

What is the most likely way humanity. Will be wiped out? Maybe it's something.
Or us. Although the way the world ends might be because of
you. And if this is the case, you wouldn't have any control over it.
The global temperature rise underscores a chilling reality.
Our planet is trying to tell us. Something, but we don't seem to
be listening. A recent study has suggested that one third of an was death due
to heat are directly related to global warming.
On top of the initial flash of thermonuclear light,
which is 180 million degrees. Which catches every everything on fire
in a nine mile diameter radius. On top of the bulldozing
effect of the wind, all the buildings coming down, and more fires
igniting more fires on top of the radiation if they happen to have survived poisoning
people to death. On top of all that, each one. Of these fires creates
a mega fire that is a hundred or more square miles.
Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing.

A breathtaking scientific revolution is taking place.
Biotechnology has been progressing at stunning speed,
giving us the tools to eventually gain control over biology.
Solving the deadliest diseases while also creating viruses
more dangerous than nuclear bombs, able to devastate humanity.
It's man returning to the most primal,
violent state as people fight over the tiny
resources that remain. What if the world we live in. Is just a dream
or a simulation? Whether it's a dream or some advanced.
Computer game you are playing right now. Now when it ends, you would be
what causes the end of the world. Please do us all a favor.
Continue dreaming or playing this game of life. Because when you wake
up or unplug, there's a chance the rest of us will be blaked out of
existence. Timelines across the entire continuum

10 years. Hello and
welcome to the 487th consecutive week of Cinema Psyops.
I'm your host, Kurt the guy coming to you Live with a hemp derived
legal high. And joining me all the way via the anaerositer.
And this call is my co host, Matt. We're on the inner webs.
Yeah, we are using the interwebs to communicate and talk about movies because I
can't stand to physically be in your presence for longer than a few.
Damn, now you're sounding like my wife again. You know, people really
start a club that everybody
hates. Matt. Club Fucking A. It's in full effect to
your. I'll get more to that in my story time. Do I
have a story time for you tonight. Oh boy. That's a
little saucy, folks. And this week we're talking about Rodan on
our giant monsters Fucking shit up. Now do you want to save it for
the actual review? Because I'm just going to make a statement that I think you
may or may not agree with. All right, go ahead. Some Monst movies suffer
from the same syndrome as the Boris Karloff the
Mummy in that it's a really cool set of effects.
There's a lot of really neat ideas, but it's hung around the same
storyline as Dracula. And Rodan is
pretty much that with unfortunately the Godzilla movie and a little bit of
a taste of some of the King Kong stuff, but not as much. And it
kind of suffers from that a little bit story wise. A little bit. But the
one thing that saves it is it doesn't bog you down
with too much story. Its runtime is shorter,
which is what I really enjoyed about it is you got a story with it
and yes, same thing as Godzilla, nuclear tests,
mining, you know, man raping the planet
and of its resources wakes up ancient
beasts and they attack.
Which fine, okay, yeah, it's the same thing. But they get
right to it in this movie. There is not a dull moment in this movie.
They are on it right away. I also want to point out that we
watched the English language cut of this. This. This is from a DVD that
I had. Rodan is a really hard film to get your hands on these days.
I just so happen to have a multi DVD set that I bought ages
ago that had this in it and otherwise we probably would have had to skip
this like we did Varan. Nice. Varan is a movie that
is like another one of these giant monsters fucking shit up movies.
It takes place between this one and next week's movie which is going to be
Mothra. Varan doesn't really show up a lot other than
that one movie. And it is extremely hard to get your hands on.
And I only have, like a VHS rip copy of it,
and we're just not doing that. We're not covering the movie just to cover it
on a VHS rip. Rodan was hard enough to see as is from the DVD
rip. True, but still entirely
enjoyable film for me. Right. The fact that it's 72
odd minutes really does help because you get in and get out relatively quick.
The film does tend to meander a little bit before the monster action happens,
but once the monster action happens, it just does not let up. You're right there.
Yeah. But, yeah, you're going to town. And that's the same thing like
I was getting at with the Mummy with Boris Karloff. I mean,
it's basically just trying to do Dracula again, only with, like,
Egyptian characters. And other than some really
kick ass, amazing special effects that make Boris Karloff look like the Mummy,
the film's kind of hard to deal with, I feel,
or at least I felt the same way about Rodin for a long time.
So you coming in with a fresh perspective on this is going to kind of
be an interesting episode, I think. There you go. Yeah. And again, short movie,
short episode. We'll do what we can. Uh, and I even shortened your clips,
so sorry. Yeah, we're gonna have a short show. No matter what. A short
show. But, you know, at least there's a story time, a good, good story time
to get into this. Wow. I am definitely curious. So we're gonna go ahead and
play the Legion Patreon ad so we can get moving on to the coverage of
the film and the story time. And this week on the pirate radio edit,
released in the same year as Rodin, 1956.
All songs that were popular in that time frame, one of which is by Fats
Domino, the song Blueberry Hill. Immediately following this on the pirate radio edit.
This will keep you quiet. Oh, hi there. I didn't see.
What are you doing? Oh, dude. Isn't this awesome?
I just built a tachyon destroyer, Mikey,
on behavior. Tachyon destroyer. You know what a tachyon destroyer
is, right? Well, of course I know what a tachyon destroyer is,
but I don't think Courtbot knows, so maybe you should
explain it to him and I'll just hang back here and listen.
Shut up. Go ahead, Court. Okay, so this is basically what it does, right?
I use tachyon particles to destroy anything I throw into this
vortex. And anything that I toss into this vortex, I bombard it,
the tachyon particles and obliterate it. From a complete timeline, it's like
it never existed. That sounds really irresponsible. Well, yeah,
but how else am I supposed to get rid of garbage? I guess. Yeah.
What is. What are you throwing in there right now? I've got Beastmaster 2.
Do you want to chuck this one? Yeah. All right. That sounds like fun.
Yeah, It's a VHS tape I don't need anymore. I dubbed it and now I
have a digital copy. Not a big deal. What is that? Gator? Yeah.
Yeah, Again, I have a digital copy. Don't need it anymore. Got a full
Blu Ray of Gator, even though it's Burt Reynolds on vhs. Yeah,
I mean, the mustache alone, dude. Did you bring it? A handwritten description
of what this movie is on the top? Yeah, I copied it from the box.
But why? Because how else are you going to know what the film's about without
it written on there? But you're just throwing it away. Well, now. But I used
to own this back in the day. That's when I wrote it.
Okay, but that white lightning. Yeah, again, you know, I have a digital copy.
Don't need it anymore. So right in. There it goes. Yeah, the mustache
really comes through on the digital copies. Oh, yeah. Burt Reynolds in high definition is
much better. Although you're probably not seeing white lightning, because guess what? No mustache.
Okay, I haven't seen wet lately. Dude, whatever you do, do not put your arm
in there. It will be. Oh, all right.
Mat Bot. Oh, that was my jerking arm. Matt bot, do me
a favor. I did a lot of things with that arm. Matt bot, can we
get the clone juice again? We got to rebuild him another arm.
Yes, master. Of course. God damn it. Did you
have to explain to him what Attack in Destroyer was? Of course.
He's a idiot. And he tried to blame it on Hordebot. I predicted this
much. I heard that, you miserable robot. So.
I just love that. Set against the backdrop of American culture of
the time, all of these, like, sweet, saccharine songs that are, like, upbeat and
happy and some of the best times that America has.
We have these movies coming out of Japan where they're like, these nuclear superpowers
are bent on destroying all of us for the gain of their own power and
profit. And to be this undying beast that is
holding these nuclear powers. And it's a stark contrast to the view
on how things went in this era.
Yeah, exactly. But,
hey, we're all having fun. Yeah. But let's talk some more about giant monsters
fucking shit up with Rodan. Rodan. All right,
well, we start the first 20 minutes. We're opening with some narration,
so what the hell. That's our first clip. This story begins
in the faraway Pacific on a tiny island atoll miles
away from inhabited land and used for testing the atomic
and hydrogen bomb. Inside an unimposing looking shelter such
as this is housed the mightiest weapon of destruction known to man.
Strategy teams composed of the finest military and scientific minds
are finalizing their plans for mission gigantic. The explosion of
this new 20th century weapon. The most complicated and
sensitive instruments yet devised are brought into play for this all important
mission. And now, on a battleship in the remote Pacific, from which all shipping
has been banned, the moment of command approaches.
The seconds are running out. Minus 15 seconds.
Minus 10 seconds. Niner,
eight, seven, six,
fiver, four, three,
two, one. T0.
And there you see it. The explosion of the mighty hydrogen bomb.
Buildings disintegrate, Concrete is reduced to powder.
Steel vaporizes. Solids turn liquid and liquids
change into gas. Destruction is total and complete.
And then the downward shock wave. Like some gigantic and murderous
hammer pulverizing all that remains. The shock is
recorded 10,000 miles away as the angry
mushroom cloud advances toward the stratosphere. On another
portion of the globe, the Air Force is engaged in the testing of a second
bomb, even mightier than the Navy tested bomb. The bomb
bay doors are open. The bomb is in position.
Target a clustered semicircle of modern battleships.
If all calculations are correct, in less than two minutes there
will be no ships at all. Below, nothing but boiling sea
and the sullen fire filled sky.
4, 3, 2, 1.
Fire on
target. The kill is complete. But what have these tests done
to Mother Earth? Can the human race continue to deliver these
staggering blows without arousing somewhere in the depths of Earth a
reaction, a counter attack, a horror still undreamed of?
There are persons in the Japanese islands who believe that the horror has
already been seen. What is the aftermath? This is the story
of such an aftermath. These are the green volcanic mountains of
Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's great island
provinces. Here, except when I went away to school, I have
lived all my life. My name is Shigeru, and this is the
village of Kitamatsu, where I was born. Kitamatsu is a mining
community. Almost all of us who live here are dependent upon the
mines for our livelihood. It was in our Kitamatsu minds
that an unusual horror began.
On a day that started much like any other day,
with the men coming to work as always, and the roll call as
always, and everything normal. Yet somehow you
knew it wasn't normal. There was a feeling of uneasiness
in the air. This film is laid out or set up pretty much like the
journal entries in World War Z that you read. So I can see why you
enjoyed this that much, because you really enjoy that particular
style of storytelling. I think I do enjoy a good documentary.
Yeah. It's laid out almost as though they're telling you the story as
you're seeing it again, as if it's a documentary. But it's not quite Frank Byrne's
style of documentary. It's still like. No, it's still a little bit more hip,
the way that it's laid out. A little more hip, a little more
with it. You're actually seeing what's happening. They're just explaining everything to you
so that they don't have to go back and redub it, essentially.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. All right,
so there's a scuffle between a couple of the miners.
The fight is broken up. And this leads to our next clip.
This is the third time this month. Once more. And you're through. See for
good. You'll both be through. This is my last warning.
Goro. I had known Goro for a long while. His sister
and I were planning to be married. It wasn't like him to fight on the
job. It was just another example of that strange tension that
was affecting us all. Each time the men boarded the trams,
you could almost see it working in them. Goro and the others
suddenly seemed afraid of the darkness. One thing that disturbed
them was the fact that Number eight Mine was going too far.
Deeper than any vein they had ever worked. It was becoming dangerous
on this deep level. The floor had lately been creeping.
I analyzed the problem in the drafting room, and we knew that
a creeping floor occurs when too much coal has been
removed from between two strata of rock. We had to take up
the pressure. Mr. Suda, my chief, came into the office. He seemed
calm enough, but he was as anxious as we were to get the problem
solved. But it was no easy job.
Hello? Shigeru. What? My ache. Don't go beyond
that point without me unless you are sure.
Two meters of water. Shaft 8. Hmm, that's strange. Last time
we tested the mine, there was no water. Maybe that creeping floor.
I'm going below. Yeah. So the dub's a little problematic to listen
to without it being in the movie, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. When you. When you're
listening to it without the movie, it doesn't sound all that great.
Something feels definitely off about the accents that they're throwing in
with the English language. Dub Happens next week. Week in Mothran is
a little bit more uncomfortable. Actually. This is the one
that I knew we were going to have to ready ourselves
to experience. Was this. These dubs
when we finally got to the English speaking movies. Because yeah,
they were always. They're always problematic. Not all of them,
but often several of them absolutely are. Some of
the preferred dubs that are out there are less of
an issue. And the later movies we run into, like in the
90s and things, it'll just be a straight up dub and it'll be. It'll be
fine. So. All right. Well, we hear there's a flood
in the mine. And they get some men together to go check it out.
They find Yoshi dead and he's hacked to death. In our next
clip. Yoshi was dead when they carried him
from the mine. But he didn't die from drowning.
He had been killed. More than killed. He had been
slaughtered like an animal. Even in death
there was a look of horror on his face. As if in those last moments
he had seen something dreadful and terrible beyond words.
We were all stunned.
What killed him, Doctor? It's hard to
say. Most unusual. But it was not an accident.
I don't know what weapon could cause such ugly wounds. But maybe
the autopsy will tell us. Ah, you have called the police?
Yes, but I must go in. Yoshi. My husband. I must
see. I want to see my husband. Oh,
dammit. Believe me, you must not go in.
I'm sure it's Goro's fault. She's a widow. Wait.
How do you know he did it? Go on, prove it. You can think what
you want to. Goro did it. Till it
is proved. You'll say no more about it. It's easy enough to understand you,
Shigeru. You're in love with his sister. K. That's enough.
You'll both say no more about it. That's some serious talking going on there.
Yeah, right. Anyway,
Shigeru goes outside. Consol, Goro's sister and
of course his love interest. Then they have a roll call and
Original is missing. A cop and two other miners go
looking in the mine. They tie themselves together as they go through the water.
One of the miners gets dragged down. The cop goes down with him. The other
miner is able to cut himself loose. He tries to go and get
help. But then he is cornered by some sort of creature
and it comes after him. The Brodies are brought back. All three are also
disfigured and dead. A doctor is brought in and this
leads to our next clip. This is Dr. Tanaka, gentlemen.
How do you do, doctor. Well, well, doctor, what is it?
Please tell us. Yes,
gentlemen, those four bodies bore a maniacs,
mutilations and bruises. Yet two of these men died not from their
wounds only, but shock. To produce such wounds requires
great power. The weapon. I cannot answer that question.
This will cause a real scare in the village now. It's sure to. I will
deputize more guards at once. I'm not 100% positive,
but I am pretty sure I hear Paul Free's voice in there. He's a pretty
famous voice actor who did like a lot of animated
movies and TV shows and things like that. I mean like. Like including Rocky
and Bullwinkle. You know, he was like the announcer voice. Oh yeah.
You can kind of hear him in a lot of which
he is not of any kind of Asian descent. So the
accent that's being done by him in this I'm going to say is a bit
racist. It's definitely a bit racist. Different time. So it
wasn't considered racist then even though it is now.
Yeah, it's. It's definitely racially insensitive. Regardless of what you want
to consider it. Yes, there you go. That's a definite. Yeah.
At the very minimum, it is racially insensitive. Bare minimum.
At best it's racially insensitive.
So we cut to. The women are chasing Goro's
wife out of the village because he's a murderer or
they think he's a murderer. Shigeru Comfor Kurtz, Girl's sister
who just wants to leave and get out. Then he's even
suggesting she should leave. And then they can meet up later together
because it would be safer for her. And then as he's comforting her,
a giant damn monster shows up right at their door.
They're able. It tries to attack them. They're able to escape it and
get authorities and right as you think, oh, it's gonna be one of those scenes
where the creature's gone and the authorities are gonna think they're like nuts and
stuff. That is not what happened. At the least.
They find the monster and they fight it. It kills a few more
men, they chase it up a mountain and they're able to drive it away.
Shigeru and some men, he wants to find Girl's body and the
authorities want to hunt the monsters or the monster. And that's
the end of that 20 minutes. I forget. Were there like some kind of bug
monsters or something like that? Yeah, it looks like almost
like a giant centipede, just not as Long. Yeah,
it's. Yeah. Okay, so those are like, sort of like
the trilobite things that were showing up with Godzilla. Yeah, these.
It's what's going to end up laying the egg to Rodan.
Yeah, Just some weird fucked up thing that just shows up there.
But it lays an egg and then somehow becomes a pterodactyl.
Yeah. That they consider Rodan. Yeah. These.
Rodan. Because that's not the name of the creature. That's because it's the
name of the species. What they call them a Rodan. Yes. Rodan is
a species. And a single version of that is just Rodan.
It's literally like when Godzilla shows up, they call it Godzilla, which is the species
of thing. So every time. Every time a new
version of Godzilla comes up, they just keep calling it Godzilla.
Now often. Exactly. Often it's the same Godzilla. Like for instance,
Godzilla raids again and I think the Godzilla that shows up in the next Godzilla
film are like the same Godzilla, right? Yeah. Not 100% sure on
that, but I'm pretty sure that they are. And then like, you know, it's the
same Godzilla for a little while and then they do a reboot or whatever and
then we're going to do a reset and we have to figure out what timeline
we're in and where it kind of really starts from and all of that.
That happens later in later Godzilla movies. We won't worry about that now. That's.
That's fine. I don't mean to scare everybody with that.
It'll be fine when we get there. Don't worry about it. Yeah, we're all going
to be okay. Yeah. But importantly, the thing
is, all of these species are only referred to as by their name of species.
It's like having a pet cat named Cat, a pet dog named dog,
and a pet fish named Fish. Yeah, exactly. So you have your giant monster
that fucks shit up and you don't bother to name it anything further than,
oh, that's a Rodan, that's a Rodan. That's a creature. That's a whatever.
Right. And you're lucky that you only get usually one
of the time of them. But in this case, you need
a dueling set of Rodin's just for reasons.
Exactly. These are truth facts. I just want you to know that in the future,
these centipede looking things that lay the eggs that make a Rodin
not really a thing. Yeah.
Like this is kind of the only time that we see this happen. And I'm
not exactly sure how that Works in the Tales of Rodin's.
Because I'm pretty sure that Rodin's just lay eggs for more Rodin's themselves now,
and they skip the centipede stage. Yeah, yeah. We don't see the centipedes
no more. Now just get Rodin's after this movie.
Right? I don't need a Rodin to be as complex and
like, organically speaking, on how its life cycle
and reproductive cycle works. I don't need it to be as complex
as the Graboids are or end up being by like the third film when you
have like Ass Blasters and a bunch of other different variations that they keep mutating
into. Exactly. I was like, come on,
guys. Can we not have this creature be this complex,
please? We're just trying to have fun here. Can we not have a centipede
that lays an egg that becomes a pterodactyl? Can we just not. Can we just
agree not to do that again? Yeah, exactly.
We can move on. I just wanted to make sure that we're all in accordance
there. We're all on the same page. If you're not.
If you like the idea of a centipede that lays an egg that then becomes
a pterodactyl, I guess hit us up and plead your case.
Because otherwise we're just going to move on without you.
Exactly the next 20. Well, the monster attacks
them in the mine. Shigeru kills one of the beetle monster
or one of those little monsters with a minec cart. They go looking for Girl's
body. But another one of those things exists and it tries to kill him.
During the fight, the entire mine collapses,
trapping Shigeru. We cut to a crew,
discussing when they can continue searching the mine. They think, one more
day for things to settle down. Then there's an earthquake and more of the mine
collapses. They find the areas where the mine was
or where the earthquake started. And they go to,
you know, investigate. And they find Shigeru just stumbling about.
And this leads to our next clip. He does not know us. A total
loss of memory, huh? Sedative. Shigeru. Look at
me. Don't you know who I am? Shigeru. It's Mr.
Osaki. Shigeru. Go to him.
Shigeru. Surely you know me. You must. It's Kigerasa.
Amesia can be difficult. I'll start treatment
at once. Take him to his room. Careful,
careful. Gently now,
gently. Try again. What is your
name? Take a deep breath.
Raise your bandaged arm. Name the girl you love. And so,
the monster that Came from the Mind is actually a species of
prehistoric insect that once roamed the Earth. We may know
someday if its secret of survival will help mankind.
Can you take it from the mind? I'm sure we can. Good. In our
eyes, it's a destructive creature, but it's also an
opportunity to study the primitive life.
Fucking scientists in these movies are always like, look, I know this really sucks,
but we also have a species that we can now study that we've never been
able to study before. So that's kind of a good thing. Yeah.
Listen, they're always looking for a silver lining, all right?
Yes. But think of all the things we can learn from it as it slowly
annihilates us off the planet. Yes, as it destroys us.
But it's okay. Yeah, because everyone's getting so uppity
about this. Yeah, we could study it. We could. It's fine. We could study it
and we'll learn some things as it kills us. It'll be cool. Yeah, it'll be
fine. I don't know. I don't know why you guys are continuously getting mad about
this. All right,
let's see here. All right. So they try and
make Shigeru remember his life, but he's not. Then we always Uncut
to jets are scrambling. Apparently, there's a UFO out and about.
Trap lead at supersonic spot speeds. The jets pursue
it, but the UFO is able to destroy the jets.
The Air Force discusses this event in our next clip.
What did it? It's impossible.
He was obviously attacked by something. But it's also incredible.
Whoever heard of maneuvering at that speed? Well, something must have.
We both heard the pilot's report. Performing loops,
making vertical climbed. And don't forget, it reversed its
direction at supersonic speed. Kitahara must have gone mad.
No, I don't think so. He was one of our most reliable pilots.
Hello? Yes. Yes, he's here. I. It's for you.
Thanks. Hello, Iseki speaking.
Oh, when did it happen? So, how many? No,
nothing new to report here. Okay, be right back. British CARGO Plane DESTROYED
Yellow Sea no SURVIVORS the entire Pacific area is alarmed
by this supersonic maniac that is attacking anything that flies.
Because of this unidentified object, the military high command in
Tokyo has just issued an order canceling all air
travel. Hundreds of eyewitnesses have observed this fantastic
object, but always at such high altitudes and incredible speeds as to make
an accurate description impossible. Over a dozen cities have sounded air
raid alerts at its approach. Peking, the capital city of China,
was stunned this morning by a sonic Blast that struck with the power
of a subatomic explosion.
A small village north of the city was leveled. Source of the
sonic blast was the ufo. Air travel
between Chinese cities has been suspended pending investigation of the
mystery. Air Force pilots have orders to open fire
at sight upon any ufo.
Manila, Philippines. A government patrol boat capsized and
sank today off Manilao when an unidentified object,
believed to be the UFO Div. Into the sea beside it.
Because of the great distances between appearances of the ufo,
authorities are convinced there is more than one reported
over Rangoon at 10:17, over Singapore at 10:32.
And here's a bulletin just coming in from Wake Island. United States
radar specialists have joined in the relentless pursuit of the unknown
invader. Captain John Hughes, United States Air
Force, was killed this morning while engaged in the pursuit of an unidentified
flying object. His supersonic pursuit ship,
caught in a slipstream of hurricane proportions,
disintegrated in midair. Wake island radar
screens track the UFO westward in the direction of the Japanese
islands. The whole world is on
guard, wondering what the terrible consequences may
be. And now, here in Kyushu, we have our problem.
Mount Toya volcano, so long inactive, is once
again growling and threatening the people with eruption. Chief Nishimura.
Oh, Harold Sunakawa. What's that? Oh, the volcano
offering. I understand we block off
the road. Yes, yes, right away. Thank you for the information. I'll give you 2
to 1 odds. If Maltoya is in any danger of erupting,
people will go there. Yeah. So a couple. They actually could,
you know. Foreshadowing. This couple goes and to
go to the volcano and take pictures. And then the flying creature
kills them. There's an investigation over their death in our next clip.
No, not suicide. They were too happy.
From the position of the camera and the shoe,
it looks as though they might have been running. That's right. From something
that was strong enough to carry both of them away.
Excuse me, sir. These men report three cows stolen
last night. We went to the field to bring them home, but they were nowhere
to be found. The negatives. Thank you. Oh,
Toji. You go take care of the two men. Yes, sir.
Izaki. The film from their camera has just been developed.
There they are. They look happy enough to me.
What the devil is that? Make an enlargement immediately. Professor Kashiwaki
ought to be interested in this. Looks like a bird. It must be
the wing of a plane. A bird that big?
Could it fly? Professor, we have a fire
on transitional saurian forms. Yes. Get the one for
the Mesozoic and carboniferous period. This is the Pterosauria.
That's right. All right. So then Kyo shows
Shigeru like some birds are hatching. She wants him to see.
And then he remembers seeing one of the stumbling about the
mine, seeing the monsters protecting an egg.
And in that egg coming out was a winged creature
which shocked and scared him to the point where he was just like,
nope. And just kind of stumbled away. And how he lost his memory seeing
the wind creature being hacked. Then he gets his memory back and
meets with others. And that is our next clip.
Your memory has returned to you Many
monsters. Shigeru's coming through. Yes. Yes. This is most
like it. What I saw in the cave was just coming
out of its shell. Are you sure?
Shigeru, you say this ate the giant insects
in the mine? Yes. Most sickening sight. I'll go
back with you. If there are other eggs, they must all be destroyed.
We'll all go. The shaft of mine number
eight led to the cavern where I believed I had seen that monk Monstrous
Egg break open. I felt unsure, tortured with
doubt. Was it shock that did these curious things to my
mind? Slowly,
relentlessly, we pressed on. We felt we were entering
a giant grave. How much of it did I dream?
How much of it did I imagine? One thing I
did know. There was no doubt about the existence of
those gigantic, gigantic insects which had slashed so many of
my friends to death. My colleagues agreed we could
not stop now. There was no turning back.
We acted as a group, but individually we were afraid.
Yes, fear. It was inside the minds and hearts of
all the men. Fear of something we couldn't see.
The bats in the dark underground added to the eerie apartment
atmosphere. The awful stillness gave us a shudder.
But we continued on and on. We had to
find out. Even though the answer might be death to us all.
We felt hemmed in, confined deep in the
bowels of the earth. We could feel the strange echo
of our footsteps as we kept on. No one of us daring to say a
word. Single file we walked, all of us
searching, searching. We were seeking a monster.
A monster who had been hatched from an egg.
How could prehistoric monsters stir from their long death
to move about upon the earth again? The only answer
to that could be that they never really died.
They only slept. We had dug too deeply for
our core and awakened them to destroy us all.
We looked around. I could remember the smell of
the thing. A cool, an evil smell that
sent your flesh crawling. It was there,
I tell you. That's the spot over there. Then what happened?
Somewhere There ought to be some sort of shell. Yeah,
well, now. Might be buried by a rock slide over
there. Nashiwagi, come here.
Look at this. A piece of shell. This is shell.
Sure it is.
Come out of there, quick.
Here's the carbon 14 report. Yes, more than 20 million
years old. Chief element calcium. Aha. It's eggshell,
all right. The microscope shows it's reptilian. Go see for yourself.
Yes. The cell structure is extremely primitive. Late Cretaceous
period learning. Now, faced with measuring the egg, this parabolic section will
determine its precise size.
Now, according to our electronic computer, this object you call an egg
has a total volume of more than 100,000 cubic feet.
Hard to believe. Tell me, if the egg itself has those dimensions,
how big is a reptile when it's full grown? I'm not sure.
It may have been full grown when attached. It obviously took to the air
right away. A flying object. Uh huh. Exactly.
Will you excuse me? After study of all the relevant data, I can
now state that the unidentified flying object is a giant
flying reptile, closely related to the extinct Pteranodon. So far,
here are the data we have gathered for you. Its weight is over 100 tons,
and it has a wingspread of perhaps 500ft.
Because of its size and supersonic flying speed,
it generates a shockwave with all the destructive force
of a typhoon. Just one thing more. Although related to the Pteranodon,
this creature is a carnivorous reptile and belongs to a species called
Rodan. Doctor, a question. Of course. If this thing you call
Rodan is extinct, how come it is still alive?
That's a good question. But we can only advance theory so far.
So I'll advance the theory of my own. Millions of years ago, this egg was
hermetically sealed. It was buried by a volcanic eruption,
perpetuating the GE of life until atomic explosions fractured
the Earth's crust, emitting air and water. Then the warm water
caused the egg to hatch. Ah, that's right. That also explains the giant
insects. Doctor, the Air Force has the practical job of destroying
Rodan. Where do we find him? He hatched in a cavern near the Osaki
mines and surfaced somewhere near the volcano. They joined underground.
Commander, I therefore recommend an air search of this section between the mine area
here and the volcano. Okay, so that clears it up. Those of you that may
have been getting excited at the idea of a creature that was
some kind of centipede larvae that then transforms into a Rodan,
that absolutely did not happen. Because it was something called a dragonfly
nymph. That was Existing around the same time. And the
we now know for sure the Rodan egg is a reptile egg that was also
deposited there and left inactive until they fucked around with mining
and warmed that shit up and caused it to hatch. So they fucked around
and then they. Found out, which is pretty much what the human race is apt.
And unfortunately we're in the find out stage of a lot of fucking around stages.
That's pretty much what we've always done.
Yeah. When we're in the find out stage for the fucking around stages that we
had previously. Yep. That's by the way, the end of that 20
minutes before we go into what will be the final 30. Yeah. So just
to reiterate, I didn't pay a shit ton of
attention when I was watching this to the bug creatures and I was pretty sure
that they weren't dropping eggs that were Rodan. So I was going with Matt on
this because you did the notes and that was a mistake that ma.
Matt now admits that he may be close. I fully admit
I thought maybe they birded the Rodan shit.
I am really, really grateful that Rodin's reproductive cycle is
nowhere near as complex as the Precambrian beings
from the Tremor series. I really am. Yeah, I'm very grateful for that.
It's not that difficult. Yeah, it's just pretty much reptile egg left there
from who knows how. Got heated up because man fucked around and finding
out made Rodin's hatch. Yeah. And now we're all having
fun. Oh, we're about to find out what happens when you
around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We are almost in the find out phase
of life here and the movie. So let's move on. Yeah. All right.
The final 30. Well, they go looking for Rodan and they find Rodan.
There's a major attack happening, but then a second Rodan
shows up that they figure is that the other Rodan's
mate? Lots of destruction here.
This is just your classic monster movie destruction.
Time cities are attacked, blown away,
you know, because they're supersonic speeds are causing. Causing them
to blow, get blown away and shit like that. So it's important,
just your classic monster movie stuff. It's important to note that the
buildings don't necessarily buckle, but windows blow out and things
definitely get a little bit warped when they're flying past. Cars fucking go
up and all over the place and. Yeah, I'm just pointing that out
because Mothra is a little bit even more powerful than Rodan next week.
I just wanted to point that out. Gotcha. We can
move on. All right. Well, after all this destruction and all the attacks.
We cut to our next clip. Hundreds dead,
the city in flames. And nothing will kill them. The Rodans did
this. Escaped. Escaped to your water.
They've left two cities burning. If they're not killed,
they'll take over the earth. Our reconnaissance planes haven't
seen either Rodan for over a week. Isn't it possible that they're
back on underground? Yes, Everything leads to
that conclusion. Will you explain that, Doctor? Yes.
These Rodans are reptiles. A member of
the snake family. After they gorge on food,
human or otherwise, they'll hibernate a long,
long time. This is the battle area. Here the tanks will shell
the crater, closing the volcanic exit. At the same time,
ballistic missiles will bombard this area and seal off the opening
where they escape before buried them alive. In my opinion,
the plan is too dangerous. Montoya can erupt. Well,
that's better than two flying reptiles. I disagree with you. We can
kill the Rodans and die in the volcanic eruptions. It's our only chance.
No, much too dangerous. So, Nakawa, the Rodans are hibernating.
Is there a better time to bury them? No. But think of the people,
the women, the children. So, Nakawa, surely you don't think we will
forget them? They will be moved to safety. Why? The Rodans are far more menacing
to the people. The crater must be bombed. We shall evacuate the village
of Kitamatsu and proceed with Operation Rodan. That's so up
for the greater good. They're gonna sacrifice a village near this volcano in case it
goes off. Because it's just worth it. Because it's easier than just dealing with the
creatures that they around and woke up. Well, I mean, that is true,
but unfortunately, when you're in the find out phase
of around necessary losses are happening.
Because I mean, those villages could go ahead and be gone just by Rodan.
And then you lose your chance, you know, ending it. So right.
Not saying it's right, but just saying it's probably the best idea they got.
Point. After too much around triage, you have. To do
the least amount of harm possible. Yeah, pretty much.
So they start the attack. And after all the evacuations
are completed after the attacks, the volcano
wakes up one of the Rodans as it
gets its wing burnt. So it falls into the volcano.
The other scene, this lands itself in the volcano,
killing itself. And this leads to our final clip. As Khan
turned to weep on my shoulder, I realized the Rodans
were doomed. The heat, the gases, the bombardment
added to their bewilderment like moths in those rivers of
fire, they seemed almost to welcome the agonies of death.
And when, still calling to each other, one of them
fell at last into the molten lava stream, the other
still refused to the last of their kind.
Masters of the air and earth, the strongest,
swiftest creatures that ever breathed. Now they sank against the earth
like weary children. Each had refused to live without
the other. And so they were dying together.
I wondered whether I, a 20th century man,
could ever hope to die as well. It was as if something
human were dying as the flames consumed them in a fiery
holocaust, their last agony. Wails echoing in
a mournful cry. We stood there staring with
a strange fascination. All units return to base. Yes, I realize
now that by the narrowest of margins,
man had proved himself the stronger.
But will it always be so? May not other and more
terrible monsters even now be stirring in the darkness? And when at
last they spring upon us, can we be certain we shall
beat them back a second time? The answer lies in the future.
Our fears for now had gone up in flame
and smoke and roll
credits. Cinema PsyOps 10 years.
10 years.
So it tries for that same kind of downer ending that you get with the
original Godzilla Y. It tries for what we
had with Godzilla raids again by giving us two monsters that are double
the threat, but it's making them a mating pair. So it's
a little bit of an idea of like, okay, well, if these two throw down,
you know, and more eggs result in more Rodans, then we're going
to be like, neck deep in Rodans, and that's the end of all of humanity.
Right. Like, that's kind of the underlying message here. Yeah, that's, that's, that's maybe one
too many Rodans. You should really be limited to
one or less Rodans in your hor. Yeah, yeah. If there's too
many Rodans, then you're in trouble.
Yeah. You have to control that Rodan population. Yeah. Have your
Rodan spade or neutered.
Yeah. Like, it goes for the same downer and
a bummer, you know, where, like, they. They are somehow burned in
lava even though they themselves were hibernating in
said volcano. I'm not sure how that works.
But they're dead now. Somehow. It's all over. Yeah,
somehow. Listen, we're not
doing this to try to make you understand in court.
I know Mr. Burton was not put on this earth to get it right.
Yeah. Mr.
Psyop was not put on this earth to get it right. It's totally
Fine. It's fine. Yeah, it's a quick story,
like you said. At least this particular version of it that we got our hands
on. This is just what we had. Regular English language version
from that DVD that I have. There's a reason why I think
Rodin never really gets any, like, solo movies again
after this. He's a cool Kaiju and he's a
really great idea, but like, to sustain a film by himself can't
really do it, I don't think. No, I'm with you. I don't. I don't think
he's got what it takes to have a. Have its own storyline.
Right. He is a great tag team partner character from Godzilla and
several other Kaiju for sure, and definitely has
some cool shit that he gets to do later on, but not the kind of
character that can hold a lead for a film and like, grab your attention.
I would argue that there's a reason why Mothra gets several.
Goes around in different tryouts, even though a lot of her
films tend to be not necessarily
solo films either. You know, she usually requires a supporting cast too.
Yeah. She at least still got resurgence films of her own,
you know. No, I totally get that. Yeah. And I
like, I'm again, like, there's a reason why Varan doesn't really go much
further either too. Like, you know, Rodin showed up again. Moran kind
of doesn't really show up again except for like maybe like cameo things
here and there, you know. Yeah. But that's. Oh, yeah, that's about it. So.
But hey, all in all, an enjoyable movie. Yeah. Yeah. Like I said,
I don't have an issue with it at all. The biggest complaint that I have
is it's just too much like the plot of actually, like Godzilla.
Yeah. You know, like the Dragonfly things
that are eating people are really cool and creepy and of themselves.
Could have been a really cool movie of just these giant insects coming out of
the ground. Yeah. That might have actually helped it a
little bit more. I agree with you on that. But they had their own little
concept. Yeah. And I would have liked the idea of the Rodans
being awoken, feeding on these insects and basically
keeping them there at that area where that opening is and not
letting them come out by just basically nesting there and feeding on them.
And then the Japanese being like, okay, well, once they feed enough, they'll hibernate.
And then we bury them to where the Rodans don't even fuck with humanity
until they get attacked. And then the Rodans go and fuck up some cities.
Yeah. No, that I can see. Yeah. That would actually be good.
Right? Well, you know, it is what it is. I. I don't. I don't.
It's still good. I mean, I. I hate saying it like that. Still good?
No, the. The thing that's important about this and the thing that, like I said
earlier, it's the same thing with the Mummy. The effects in this are really,
really good. The miniature work in this is spectacular. And the effects
of things getting blown away and will, like, windows coming out of
buildings and things, like, it's just absolutely spectacular. They really
sell the damage that these subsonic creatures are able
to produce whenever they fly by. And that's what's so crazy about
Rodin, is like, he can buzz by so fast that he can suck
windows out of fucking buildings, like skyscrapers, and bend
them metal and shit. Like, that's cool. It really is. And they
do a great job of selling that. That's what's really, really amazing.
All the stuff that we're really kind of prying at and picking at is just
basically the rehashed story, which is really the only thing to complain about,
because everything else fucking kicks ass, pure and simple. Yes,
agree. Because the effects are
great. Like, we cannot. We cannot state that enough,
but that's to be expected of Ishiro Honda
of this time and essentially of any pseudomation film that was
made in Japan. You will always be awed by something in the
special effects at some point in time, and you are gonna see
something that you had not seen before. No matter how many of these
other Kaiju films you watched previously, they always find a way
to throw something in there that you have not seen before every single time they
make one of these. Yes, that is true. Y. The model work
is alone. Like, they change things around where you see cars blowing around or something
like that. Like, they just. They just vary things up just enough, and they
make it just believable enough that whenever you see it, your mind just automatically believes
that's the thing that you're seeing. And while there may or may not have been
a dude in the suit, depending upon which scene you're seeing, and it may have
just been a puppet that they were, you know, moving around, there is still,
like, you know, people doing all of these effects and making these explosions
happen, and it's still completely unsettling, safe. And these tiny little areas
that they have to maneuver around in with these giant cameras while they're
exploding things at rubber, it's just nuts
and so cool at the same time. Right?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's. It's cool, but it's fucking dangerous as shit.
Well, that's what makes it even more cool to me is, like, it's just so
fucking dangerous. Like, the puppet could fall on somebody. Like, who knows
what crazy shit could have happened while they were making these scenes with these Rodans
flying around smashing shit, but. Right. And it still looks fucking great.
Like, give me those Model Cities every fucking time. I'll take it.
Absolutely. Oh, yeah. Guaranteed, man. It's. It's part of what
makes the Kaiju movie so fucking awesome is Model City.
All right, why don't we go ahead and take the break here, and we'll go
ahead and get into this juicy story time you've been promising everybody.
Yes. All right. From the same year
release as Rodan, which was 1956,
we've got Chuck Berry with the song Rollover Beethoven on the pirate radio
edit. When we come back, we're going to sink our teeth into that juicy story
time.
Hey, man, what's going on? All right. What the. With the boss? I want
to bring salvation. Father, take me back.
Ah, you got to the lab, huh? Yeah. What did you show
them Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ or some?
Make a feast. Welcome me home. I want to be
your son. I want to pay the price. I want
to be and rise again. Yeah, I showed
them that and then sort of told them the story of Easter.
I want to be what the.
Dude, they're robots. I may have also showed them
the Stations of the Cross. I'm sorry. They're crucifying Mat
Bot, man. They're making him their robot
savior. I know. It's insane.
I know. I know.
Really weird. It snowballed. It happened so
fast. It's weird.
A lot of songs from the late 50s and early 60s actually
just remind me of John Hughes movies we watched in the 80s, because a lot
of it was reused in those. Yeah, pretty much.
Well, I don't know if that's going to have anything to do with this juicy
story that you promised us for our next story time.
Story time.
Story time. Don't let it play every time for. You all the
time. Well, I'm. I'm in my 40s, right? Yes. I got
in a bar fight last night. Oh, my God, Matt,
it. In my defense, it wasn't my fault.
So it wasn't so much a bar fight as a
ball or a bar altercation. But. So the wife and I went
out last, just having a little night out, and we stopped by
my. Pretty much my favorite bar we're having a couple drinks. It's kind of like,
you know, I know everyone there and everyone knows me. And there was a guy
there who was whacked out, really whacked out.
And he kept bothering some people across the bar, like this older lady and
stuff. And the waitresses and bartender, they had enough and
they're like, hey, you know, Matt, just, you know, watch our backs a little bit.
I'm like, yeah, of course. Well, finally, you know, some of the cooks and everything
came out as well, and they were finally getting the guy to leave. And then
the guy went back to bother the older lady. Lady. And so I,
of course. And as I used to say, my voice
can be a force of nature. Used it. And that caused
the man to almost jump over the bar to try to kick the. Out of
me because it's a horseshoe bar, okay? So then he starts yelling
at me that he's a marine and that I have no idea how much money
he has. So all the classic lines of a loser.
Because the minute you're hammered and you start talking about how you are in any
sort of military service and that you have a lot of money, I. That you're
lying pretty much probably about both. But definitely about one of them.
Yeah, but definitely about one of them. So I. To help,
we get the guy outside. Then the two cooks went around
me and took him down and started beating the shit out of him after he
swiped at one of them. Then he gets up and then he comes to take
a swipe at me and he kind of
tries to push me. Now I'm a bigger dude and
he was not. So I did not move that. Tried to
sell cool or nothing. It's just he was really scrawny,
sickly, an addict of some sort. He had some kind of
goggles on, thinking that he was bigger than he is and he could move you,
but he couldn't, that's all. So he pushed, he fell back, he tripped and
he hit his head. And then the waitress, one of the waitresses,
slash bartender, she was like, oh, don't you push people? And she wanted to
kick his ass. And I'm like, oh, Jesus Christ. And so we had to call
the cops. And an ambulance came to come take him away.
Jesus Christ. But yes, in my 40s last night, I got into
a bar altercation. Well, that sounds like helping out with an altercation
that was just going to happen either way. You made it sound like. You made
it sound like you started some shit to start. I didn't mean to make it
Sound like I started anything, but I would never do that.
You basically just were older than that. You were just basically extra muscle for
someone. That was being a bit excessive and bit much.
And, yeah, this. You helped out the staff. That's a little different. Pretty. Pretty much,
yeah. But, yeah, I thought at one point I was going to have to kick
the shit out of the guy. And I'm not
saying I can kick the out of a lot of people, but I could have
kicked the out of that guy. Well, if nothing else, the two cooks
softened him up for you. Yeah. I mean, yeah.
Yeah. Well, I didn't know they were going to get involved. I didn't see,
like, I didn't see them, so I didn't see him coming, but they blew
right past me. I was like, whoa. Holy. All right.
What's up, fellas? How you doing? All right? Everyone's all right. All I'm saying is
do not fuck with back of house. Like, just. No, just do not,
dude. If that is. If there's a rule that we could,
like, describe to our people, if you're in a pub that serves food,
you do not fuck with back of house. They will fuck you up
in every situation, but, I mean, in every way possible.
Yeah. And while you're at it, just be respectful of your fucking wait staff,
too. But mostly, don't. Don't start a fight with anybody. What, Go there,
have an enjoyable beer or two, maybe a shot, eat some food and
then go home. Right. Like, what I'm getting at is if. If you are a
prick and you will ever heed any words from the
two of us, ever, if you are out there being a prick and
people are starting to call you on being a prick, if back of house gets
involved, get the fuck out of there now. Do not fuck
with back of house. They will hurt you.
It will not go well. These people are trained on removing
flesh from bone quickly and efficiently, and you do
not want to fuck with that. No, no, no. Do not fuck with
that. They know how to fuck. Most of them
have, like, been bouncers in their life or are former military.
They're big dudes almost all the time.
Back of house is not something you fuck with. That's all we're saying. Yeah,
yeah, right. All right. With that, we're gonna play the show
Housekeeping. And immediately following that, on the pirate radio edit, also from
1956, our man Johnny Cash with I Walk the
line on the pirate radio edit right after this. If you've decided you
can't get enough of the show, and would like to check out more of it.
We're available Legionpodcasts.com just do a quick search for cinema
psyops or just enter this entire URL into full on
robot religious war in here. It's insane. In my defense,
I didn't think they would take things so literally. They're robots. They only
work in absolutes for logic, man. Hindsight's 20
20, bro. Come on. All right, look, I'm going to have to try and
reset them. Here we go. All right, all right, let me try.
Buddhist. No. Oh, no, no. They won't do
anything. Oh, definitely not Islam. Jesus, we don't.
No, no. Especially if some of them remain in Christianity. Oh,
God. Well, I never thought you would teach them religion. I can't believe you
did put a filter on religion so it couldn't get through. I thought
that their logic boards would overcome that. Religion destroys all logic.
I just telling you, man. It was fast too.
Real fast. Okay, it looks like some.
Some of them have an understanding of what paganism was because of
what you taught them. Is that what we're gonna get out with?
Paganism? Well, I gotta do something in order to get them to
settle down to reboot. Oh my gosh. They're gonna start dancing around circles
and fire. It's gonna be weird. All right. They're set to pegas.
Oh, dude. They're conducting some kind of weird ritual.
Oh, God. Is it pretty.
Oh, man, they found my electronic pentagon. Oh, God. Why do
you have to that route still? I like black
metal and I'm a mad scientist. Of course I'm going to build an electronic
pedigree. I told you that was going to cause you nothing but trouble.
Sake. Oh, no. What? What's going on here? What are they doing? What the.
What the. That's not good. What happened? Okay.
Satan, Satan, our lord and master.
I acknowledge thee as my God and prince. I promise
to serve and obey thee. As long as I shall live. I renounce
the other God and all. Of a.
I always tend to let Johnny Cash go a little bit longer than others
fans. There's just no reason not to.
Yeah, we're both fans of the man in Black for sure. Yes, we are.
Well, I hate to interrupt everybody else's time enjoying
this episode, but it's gotta be done. We gotta close it out so we can
move on to the next one. So we're going to play the five Saints with
the song in the still of the night. Also Once again from 1956
on the pirate radio edit. So everybody enjoy that and kick the fuck out
of this weekend. Make it your bitch. I believe he's open to put another
alcoholic beverage. This makes a makers. Does it in
the last two hours. Jesus Christ. Can you tell if he even watched the movie?
He's so late. I just want this to be done. Now he's wondering
if this is really what they mean by Internet trolls. What?
This is sad. He thinks Internet trolls are what's in this film.
He has now switched to the troll hunters. Now he's watching that. Oh,
Jesus Christ. He is continuing the notes. Spelling error
when referring to number. It should be tw O,
not t o O. Stop correcting him.
Just read the fucking notes as he's writing them down so he can get this
over with. Of course there are two main groups.
Mountain and Woodland. The subgroups are. Oh my.
He is mispronouncing these in his head. This is most difficult.
Master. I don't know what to tell you. Just try and guess what word he
means by how he's spelling it. Rain. Go Fish. That can't
be right. There's no way that word makes ry fish. What is wrong with him?
He has soiled himself for sake. He is
a boo for his chair. This is quite disgusting. This is becoming
a bear seat. Why am I modeled after such a bear?
Trying to model some stuff. Is that a problem? It's either too loud or too
soft or. Well, neither really. In between. It's just.
This porridge is too hot, right? It's just never quite right.
The sound is just never quite perfect. So then Leon's
getting larger. Oh,
airplane. Recording in progress. Recording stopped.
Recording in progress. There we go. All right, so you're up first
with Rodan. I've got music from the same year that
Rodan was released. And it's a short movie, so this
will probably be a pretty quick episode. Dude. Yeah, but, you know, at least we
got clips. Yeah, at least this week we have clips to back up.
I'll get into it in the review, but this is the. You know what?
I'm gonna save it. Save it. Yeah, that would probably be for the best.
Let's go ahead and get started for episode 487.
3, 2, 1. Your longest
clip is now no longer than five minutes. So we're probably gonna have to let
them all play. Yeah,
totally. Just tells you the whole story. It's like,
so. Why he recorded
it? No, I don't blame you at all. I would have totally done the exact
same thing. Doctor. As a matter of fact, I did.
Well, something must have we both heard the pilot's report. Oh, that's totally Paul
Freeze's voice. You can hear it. And don't forget, it reversed its
direction at supersonic speed. I'm pretty sure Paul Freeze even
did the voice of Robbie the Robot from Forbidden World too.
Oh, Jesus. Small village, north of the city.
I hardly use it myself, sir. It promotes rust.
Not to mention all the stop motion animation Christmas movies he did the voices
for. Oh yeah, I'm sure.
Pa. What a career, huh? No.
Should we make this episode longer? Because now that I'm talking over the clip,
we play it twice. Almost. Yeah, there you go.
And now we're thinking. Now we're padding with glue.
Now we're doing it. No, not suicide.
They were too happy. From the position of the camera and.
The shoe, it looks as though they might. They were too happy for suicide.
Too happy. They definitely weren't in
this time frame. Official diagnosis or.
Yeah, this was your longest clip. It's now
just down to five minutes. Monsters. Yeah. Ah. So it ate the insects.
I don't think it gave birth. I don't think the insects came.
Hi, I'm Sarah McLaughlin and I'm back to ruin your day
again. Last time I told you about Matt. A God fearing
cheese head with a taste for cheese. Alcohol. Matt has been
the subject of inhumane cinematic experimentation for the past
year now. And I'm afraid things have taken a. Turn for the worst
for poor Matthew. He is now routinely subjected
to marijuanas. Now we all know
the danger of marijuanas. It's the most dangerous drug
known to man. One injection of marijuanas can change a person
for the rest of their life. This is where why the Starfish Funds. Need your
help more than ever. If we don't take some action soon, it won't
be long until Matthew is living in the same pair of stinky Birkenstocks,
listening to fish recordings and eating. Little Debbie snack cakes all
day. Please be Matt's angel and give to the Starfish
Fund. And whatever you do, please avoid
marijuanas at all cost. Well,
I hate to interrupt everybody else's time in enjoying this episode,
but it's gotta be done. We gotta close it out so we can move on
to the next one. So we're going to play the Five Saints with the song
in the still of the Night. Also Once again from 1956
on the pirate radio edit. So everybody enjoy that and kick the fuck out of
this weekend. Make it your bitch once again. Sounds like a John
Hughes movie soundtrack, right?
Oh God, I gotta stop that. So that means I gotta stop this. Recording stopped.
