Legion Podcasts - All Shows

Anyone who isn't dead or from another plane of existence would do well to.

Cover their ears right about now. 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

10 years Man 1010

years I can't stop thinking about Ladies and gentlemen,

the images and events contained within the motion picture series are shocking,

violent and often nauseating. Serious consideration and

introspection should be given before viewing such offensive and

degrading films. Garbage Cinema

P.S. a pirate ship with a tattered flag sailing across seas

of questionable movies while firing cannons of disdain.

Cinema Psyops Long may she sail 10

years man 10 years 10 years the.

Following show will destroy your self worth with excessive expletives,

overtly descriptive sexual defense, and more desperation

for external validation than any so called entertainment should

ever be allowed. The podcast which you are about to hear is an account of

the tragedy. Which befell two washed up losers, in. Particular Court

Psyops and his immature co host Matt. It was all the more tragic

in that they were uncultured morons, but had. They lived very,

very full lives, they could not have expected,

nor would they have wished to see as much of. The ma macabre

as they were to see each week. For them, an idiotic

podcast show became a nightmare. The events of each week were to

lead to the discovery of one of. The most bizarre crimes in

the annals of American history. Cinema Psyops with Cort and

Matt So. Let me tell you something that you. Should have already realized by now

about this show you're listening to. This is supposed to be for mature

audiences, as in grown ups mentally mature.

It's supposed to talk about adult subjects, an adult frame of fine,

it's not. Fucking that at all. This is two emotionally regressed

broken half. Whips pretending to offer insight on

movies. All they really offer you is an endless sexual perversion

and a laundry list. Of personal paraphilia issues. You can

make your own choices in life, but you have to choose this as entertainment.

You know you're better than this. You have to know you

are better than listening to cinema. Siah. Let us once again make clear

that. Which most do not seem to understand.

This podcast is marked as explicit not because it offers

a mature look into the world of topics not meant for the young

or immature, but because it mucks about in very appalling warmness

and tasteless filth. Whilst reveling in it,

Cinema science aims. To drag you down into

the very. Same muck filled with sexual deviancy and decayed morality.

10. 10 years. 10 years.

Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and

changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on Cinema psyops.

This 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 simulation?

Whether it's a dream or some advanced computer game you are playing right

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 blinked out of existence. Timelines across the entire continuum

are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on

Cinema syn. 10 years.

10 years.

And welcome to the 516th consecutive week

of Cinema Psyops. I'm your host, Cort, the guy that still doesn't have

Matt with him in the room or on the line or anything like that.

But we've got a fill in and he is the king of all fill ins.

And my co host Darren. Yep. Call me Matt Light if you like.

Or further eastern Matt or more polite, less drinky.

Midw Browns. Wisconsin.

Oh no. Although you know when you talk about

which. Which state's professional American football team had the most

reprehensible quarterback, I think the Cleveland team had

a worse guy. Vic, right? Am I. Do I know my sports? Oh no,

no. Was it. No, he was with some other teams though from

what I remember. Well, maybe he played for the Browns at some point,

but they most recently had a guy name,

or still do, named daeshun Watson. Who 30 accusations

or so of SA. I don't know if you have to edit out any words

in your editing, but 30 or so accusations of sexual assault against

him. Yeah. You know, Aaron Rodgers just makes people. Tries to get people to avoid

vaccines and take horse paste. Allegedly.

That's what he's doing in all of his shit. Yeah, he's more of a

victimless crime kind of. Kind of guy. He's a Woo

salesman. That's what he's kind of turned into. Unfortunately.

That's what he's hawking. That's. That's the Woo salesmanship. It's no different than the

snake Oil and the radiated tonics that you would drink and then your jaw would

rot off from radiation sickness and shit. No different than that. It's pretty

scummy, but it's a kind of scummy that, like, some people are like, well,

you did make the choice to keep taking the horse paste and

then died. You know what I mean? Like. Like, yeah, you encouraged it. And yeah,

that's a criminal negligence thing, but it's really hard to convict somebody on that.

And I think that's kind of shitty. But it is what it is, right?

It is what it is. He probably disowned him as soon as he

left the Wisconsin team. Any. Somewhere else.

Yeah. Well, I am once again very, very grateful.

I kind of reached out to Matt, wanted to see where things were for the

scheduling, and we needed to get this one recorded because Matt and I have been

recording well, well in advance for a little while now, and I

continued to do that trend, but I once again ran out of episodes. And we

are recording this the Sunday before. It actually needs to go out the following week.

And I haven't done that in a while where I've done one episode and one

episode only in the hopes that I'll be able to record the next weekend.

We'll see how it goes. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. What I'm really trying

to do here is I'm trying to preserve as many episodes for Matt to come

back and just get in on the Kaiju action. We're still, like I said,

going back and we're going to do commentaries for all of these that he's missed

because he definitely needs to see these, especially this one tonight. This is.

This one would be great for a fucking commentary, for sure. And the movie that

we're covering tonight, Godzilla against Mechagodzilla from 2002. People will

hear it in the outtakes. Darren mentioned that on Apple TV, it shows up that

it says it's 2012. I. That's when the Blu Ray release was

done over here. And it may not have been released in America

until 2012. That might be why that date is showing. Because I

do remember that's around the time that these Blu Rays were coming out, like the

2014 Godzilla and stuff like that made a lot of these things

become available in America. Because when the 2014 Godzilla hit, it created a fever

amongst a lot of young people that had not seen Godzilla before. And it

exposed a whole new generation to Godzilla. And then people were clamoring for

the old stuff because they were like, hey, in my day, it was a guy

in a suit. And boom. We finally got a bunch of stuff on Blu Ray

that we haven't had for decades, Right? There was stuff that was like,

not even on DVD in some cases in America. But all of that stuff got

brought over all at once. And it was the heyday. That was our time to

shine as Godzilla fans. When that happened, dude, finally somebody's

searching for the deep cuts, right? And then eventually Criterion got

off its ass and started using all of the prints that they had access to

from Toho from the first run in the Showa era. Oh,

yeah. I think it's Showa's first Heisei. I think a second. I always get

them confused. Your son would correct me and he would probably know them. He'd get

out his books. He got out of his book. It was like, yeah, yeah,

he'll get. Get out his reference books and check

your homework. He's already a better Godzilla fan than me because he has reference

books to make sure that he has his information accurate. I just go by what

I can remember as a fanboy. So he's already more hardcore of a fan than

I am. And that's awesome. Start him young. Start him

young. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So I'm assuming that you're going to have a story time

of the film with him this week too. Cause you had to have watched it

with him, him being the big G fan that he is. Yep, yep. He.

He had the option and he. He went for it. So,

yes, similar. Similar to last time. Awesome. I can sit down at

a fire and tell that story. It's awesome. I get

to have two different guest hosts, more or less. You are relaying everything

he once said on the show and you get to say whatever you want to

say about the show and the movie on the show. So there we go.

Totally. The only reason he isn't in my seat right now is he didn't

tell him that he could and that he's exhausted from a weekend of

summer sports. Yeah, yeah, that's what you were doing. And we kind of had to

delay the recording from my normal time until a little later on Sunday.

Not too bad. You know, Matt and I start this late sometimes and have to

hammer out two episodes in like, in like an hour. Ish. You want to talk

about going breakneck speed. If anybody out there is wondering, like, why the fuck is

Cort reading his notes so fucking fast on his episodes. The reason is we are

out of time by the time we get to my recording. Usually with Matt,

that's why when Matt's doing the notes we goofing off and having so much fun

and my episodes are always so fast is because we run out of time.

Pure incentive. Gotta get down to business. Right? Right. Cause I mean the show has

to be released once every week and we gotta record two shows every

time. We record every other week and it's just the way that it has to

be. And if we're gonna get it done, we gotta get it done. And the

only way to do that is to unfortunately turn me into Micro Machine

man whenever I start reviewing. Sometimes like the

Griswolds at the Louvre.

Yeah, it's on two times speed so they can get it done faster.

Absolutely. Well anyway, we are talking Godzilla against Mechagodzilla

from 2002 as I had mentioned before and then went off on yet another stone

tangent. It's my want to do. We're gonna take the break here and we're going

to play all songs released from 2002

or on the top 100 in 2002.

Up first on the pirate radio edit is going to be the White

Stripes with the song Fell in Love with a Girl immediately following this on the

pirate radio. This will keep you quiet. Hey, I'm so glad you

didn't get hurt in the coating explosion disaster. It's not supposed to be called

that. I'm so glad you weren't unfortunately, work stopped or

suffered any output loss after the spontaneous file

waste disposal event. I'm alive only because I hid

behind that Jeffen guy. Do we have to keep up the ruse that it wasn't

Zon. Officially, yeah. He feels he can't be seen

to be responsible for the countless spontaneous corporate refund restructuring

of the workforce right now inside this hospital room.

Say what the Ever trying to spin the impetuous fashion that

one handles the health and safety of the people who work for them and continually

cause severe injury and death to said workforce is really tasteless even

for Zon. How the did you get burned hiding behind

him? I know you were a random events believer and all, but when

the collator reached critical mass and it fully exploded on him, all I could

think was that Zon had been on the scene of every catastrophe

and survived. Why not see if he really does have the plot armor of the

author. The fire and boiling fluids went around him and got me. It was like

nothing I had ever seen before. It was like a really bad CGI

bubble you see in movies around him and I was not in it, just behind

it. Once the Walls of the room went up. So did I. I'm still in

a lot of pain. I'm told that my unforeseen hair removal should grow back

thicker and stronger, at least. Well, I think you might like

what we have for the light duty tasks. The production

floor was reorganized by that same spontaneous

file waste disposal event. I'm gonna have a

hard time pretending to enjoy anything till the next Dilaudid patch kicks

in. We have to transcribe all of Zevon's personal diary

and experimentation auditory notes. He forgot his recorder

was on again, didn't he? Better, dude, Better.

All right, so anybody who wants to talk shit about me, Meg White's drumming ability

should listen to that song and hear her hitting some type of something on

her kit for every chord strum he does,

whether it's up or down. And she alternates the snare hit with

that chord change as well. That's impressive work. I don't care what anybody else thinks.

And, Darren, you better back me up on this, or I'm gonna feel like a

real asshole. No, I. I mean, I would say.

I. I've never been a classically trained drummer. I had one official

drum lesson ever, and it was from a 50s rock guy.

But, yeah, I was a little meh on the White Stripes right

when they first came into my vision. But then there was one time I

was like, oh, it's really easy. You just. And it's sort of like you do

with some Ringo Star stuff. Like, you think it's easy, and then you try to

do it. Okay, Ringo is a great example.

Yeah, people talk shit about Ringo until they try it. Right? Fuck around and find

out if you think you're better. That's all I'm saying, folks. Right? Put it right

here on the refrigerator or whatever the. All right,

well, enough about the White Stripes and Ringo and drumming and all of that.

Let's start talking about the real Thunder Lizard that's in charge here with Godzilla

against Mechagodzilla from 2002. All right, so the

first third of the film opens up with some dialogue and some rather expository

versions of that. And you know that's going to be our first clip. All units,

stand by. Column moves out in five minutes.

All right, men, let's go. All units

stand by. I repeat, all units stand by.

A large tropical storm has formed south of the Ryuku Islands

and is moving northeast at 25 mph.

Everything's in order, sir. Move out now.

Move out. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes,

sir. Move out. Let's Go. Let's go.

Roger is coming right at us.

Typhoon 13 is a very large storm. It's moving

due north and continues to gain strength. The storm's rapidly approaching the

Bozo Peninsula. We're getting battered here in Tanayama.

It's pouring with rain and the wind is exceptionally strong.

It's getting very difficult just to stand up.

Here's the latest from Weather set. The pressure in the

eye of the typhoon is currently reading 959

millibars and falling. The wind speed is reading almost 90,

almost 90 miles an hour and it's gusting over 110.

It's huge and getting bigger by the minute.

Get me out of here.

And just like that, Big G emerges from the ocean behind the man.

And it cuts to a man trying to pick up his fallen recycling,

which while that is very important to make sure your recycling

is done, it seems less so than Big G being on screen and about to

attack you. Maybe. But you know, a lot of these movies

do have the environmental message and you know, Godzilla could have been giving

him the side eye and then he picks up, you know, his. His recycling and

godzill, it goes, okay. I think that the zombie Godzilla from GMK

would probably see this guy picking up and trying to take care of his recycling

and would let him live. So I think you have a valid point there,

sir, and I'm just going to move on. Okay, Fair. Just as I

write these notes and we had that Quiddle debate, a bunch of military and police

vehicles swarm and the AMF specs are printed out on

screen. But really, who gives a fuck about the humans? That's all meant to be

clipped anyway. In our second. Attention all units. A gigantic

creature is reported to have come ashore touching Tatema, Chiba Prefecture.

All units are ordered to begin an immediate attack upon sight of the creature.

It must be destroyed. Repeat, a gigantic creature has come ashore in Tateyama.

It must be destroyed. How come this always happens in the rain?

Get out of here. Let's go. Run, people.

Quickly. Let's go.

This way. Hurry. There's no time. Run.

There's no time. Come on. Get back.

This is an announcement from City Hall. An emergency evacuation has

been ordered for all citizens. All units, rendezvous on Route 89

immediately. Concentrate your firepower on the creature's torso.

It must be stopped at all costs. At the end of the clip, the military

tanks, Serious action actual tanks wheel into position

on a roadside that is composited against Big G in the foreground.

And that scale sells it. Quick sidebar. Here. This is for Dan from Corrupted

Youth. Dan and I had a lot more negative things to say about some

of the compositing and lack of buildings in this series, particularly for the Millennial series

to sort of sell Big G's scale. And I think this sequence of the city

stroll for Big G really kind of addresses that. And I think it looks terrific.

It kind of harkens back to what we were seeing in Godzilla 2000 and then

some of the other films that. That had more of the cityscape and more city

stuff being destroyed. I think they realized in the last film that they were having,

you know, some of the scale issues that they were having. I'm hoping Dan will

watch this one again specifically and see how he feels about this one. Take it

for a walk and just kind of see. I think it sells it. I don't

know. Yeah, it kept. It kept me in. You know, once you buy

into a Godzilla movie, there's a couple things that you need to let slide and.

But not from. From sake of giving them too

much credit where credit is not due. Feels like they did a pretty good job

here. I did skip one that I almost did with you, but ended

up not, so I don't have that for comparison. Ah, gotcha. That's no problem.

Whatever you've seen for it, all we really need is the perspective of how it

looks for this specific one. And I think the scale of how big

Godzilla actually was was sold on this pretty well and everything.

Just one more sidebar before we get back to the notes. You remember when shout

outs were a thing that podcasters did for each other? Yes,

man, I missed that. Anyway, back to the notes. Long, long time ago.

The mortar and artillery fire is shot off along with

surface to air missiles. All looking pretty fucking good

as far as I'm concerned. They look like they were firing like miniature practical missiles

that were then exploded upon impact. And I think it looked to me like there

was some decently smooth CGI transitions to like actual explosions

hitting the suit. Like they filmed it from two different ways and then like layered

the plates to make it actually work for the actual hardcore fire stuff, but also

to have missiles explode without shrapnel. I'm guessing, I don't

know 100%, but that's what it looked like. But it was a really well done

suit sequence. Anyway. Yeah, these. These were. We talked about that in the

last one we did together about a lot of the explosions and things were pretty

well done. And I feel like this one, at least up until this point,

had less. I wouldn't say distracting cgi,

but less noticeable. Yeah, yeah, they've definitely gotten to where it is augmenting

and it definitely looks a lot nicer and smoother than what it did.

And they're doing the thing that Jurassic park did too, where Godzilla's always in

the rain. Like they even have a comment on that in one of the clips

about how why does this stuff always happen in the ra. So, you know,

it's one of those things where they were. They found a way to make the

CGI work and to sort of trick your eye with certain things. And I really

think that it kind of paid off that they took the time to do it

in this one. Anyway, just after I geek out about all of the special effects

that we were talking about. The tanks retreat as Godzilla walks forward.

He shuffle kicks a fucking tank through the air, crashing into

a giant fucking red inferno. When it hits another tank and that

lights up Big G like the beast from our fucking nightmares that he is.

And I popped so bad for that. I had to watch that sequence where he

kicks that fucking tank like three times. It was just the fucking tits. I watched

it again this morning. I love that. Where you just. I don't

know what else to call it other than he's just shuffle walking and he just

shuffle kicks that tank like you didn't even mean to do it. And it's just

so sinister and evil looking. Yeah. The casual chaos that

Godzilla can bring. Right? Yeah. Griefing a city, as your son would say.

Oh, yeah, Griefing a city. And just after this awesomeness, they cut

to the uninteresting human interest stories with some talky hole talking in.

Our Navy 5th Squadron is moving towards Massawa to render

assistance. Maser gun Unit 3 and 4 in position.

Roger. Units 3 and 4, prepare to move in.

Okay, okay. Stop. Hit the light.

Sir. I see him. I see him.

Activate Maer Mazer. Activating.

My God.

Daddy. Elevate turret. Raising turret link

up targeting system. Targeting system link up. Go.

Fire maser. Firing maser.

I told everyone playing along at home for like the longest time that

they were going to call these things masers. And they will never be anything else

for you from there on out. Every time you see them after watching this movie

calling it a maser for sure, and I know that they refer to it earlier

and during the clip you had said. I think what maser actually stands for.

Is that what I heard you say? Oh, yeah, that is, at least according to

the Internet. It stands for microwave amplification

by stimulated emission of radiation.

I Just know them as microwave lasers. I'm pretty sure that

they've been called masers in other movies, but I missed it. But it says it

was 19. The concept of the maser was 1952.

Okay. There we go. Yeah. So hopefully it's the same thing and not like,

you know, it's just a laser, but it's a microwave laser. But maser

itself has, you know, some articles and a Wikipedia page.

Well, it definitely has been something that has shown up.

These satellite dish looking things that are on the end of a boom that

fire some kind of an energy blast at Godzilla have been used all the way

back to the 70s, so. But they named them masers in this film.

And I don't want to call them anything else but that because it seems pretty

accurate for what it looks like. And it fires the exact same thing. An energy

beam or something that looks like Ghidra lightning, depending upon which version of it you

see. Yeah, right. Could be massive laser or it could be that acronym that

I said. Yeah. Or it could be microwave wave laser. Either way, it fucking cool

looking and it fucking sounds cool. So there we go. Does what it's supposed to

do. I do love that they brought these things back for the reboot.

Quills, whatever they're supposed to be and whatever they're going to call them, they look

great and they're a good model. So thank you. It's cool with

that. They fire on Big G only to just mildly irritate him. And a co

pilot of the maser apparatus says something about it not having much of an

effect due to it losing a percentage of the power from the range.

Or I wasn't paying that close attention and I didn't clip it, so whatever.

And then the female just decides. Hides the target. Godzilla in the fucking face.

She fucks around and fires the mazer. Big G

helps her find out when he blasts the cliff face, causing the humans to back

up in a panic. And the Mazer tank spins out of control from the

bad judgment that the panicking pilot does, sending the passenger

vehicle crashing down the side of the mountain after rolling for what feels

like forever in an admittedly spectacular vehicle stunt,

the SUV filled with red shirts. Oh, and I even quoted your son in my

notes. Is griefed by a big. Much to the chagrin

of the tank lady who more or less sent those people to the waffle iron

deaths they just briefly experienced. I really wrote that in my notes. Waffle iron

death they just briefly experienced. If Godzilla

could wear a dock. Martin. Right, Big G, then tail Smacks

the fuck out of the maser and tanks, sending them plummeting

to rubble off the cliff face of the road.

He turns and is struck by lightning as. As he

roars. And the music swells for the title card

to pop up in the spectacular fight promotion poster look that

they give. And it cuts to the aftermath and the expository dialogue

to tell us everything we need to know about what just happened in our

fourth clip after the. Horrors of last night. This morning, Takayama is waking up

to another nightmare. The damage is appalling. The cities

and rivers and its citizens are devastated. The army is leading the rescue effort,

but the death toll is sure to be high in Tokyo. Prime Minister Sugez

confirmed the field reports. This attack was carried out by another Godzilla

monster, similar to the killer of 1954.

After its frenzied rampage through Tateyama, this latest Godzilla waded

back into the Pacific Ocean. The authorities cannot rule out that it is laying in

wait nearby, waiting to strike these people again. 45 years

after the first Godzilla attack, our country is under threat once more.

Will our government turn and run? Or will they stand in sight?

We've been struck by another disaster.

As you know, 45 years ago, the first Godzilla

creature laid waste to Tokyo. And after exhausting every

weapon in its own arsenal, the government finally destroyed the monster

with a secret weapon invented by Dr. Serizawa.

But that has been lost forever. Dr.

Serizawa was afraid of the terrible power he'd unleashed that

he refused to reveal its secret. He took it to the grave with him.

Godzilla put a curse on Japan. Ever since it first appeared,

it seems we keep being invaded by these giant monsters.

Like moths. That giant moth spawned

by atomic tests in the South Pacific. Luckily, we destroyed

it with a massive heat ray gun.

Or Bigfoot Gaira. That attack was foiled

after the government fought back and destroyed it with a MESA equipped battle

group. With each attack,

Tokyo suffered terrible destruction.

Thankfully, the citizens have always helped us rebuild.

But now Godzilla's back, and we've no way of defending ourselves.

We could decide to destroy every one of our cities and there's nothing

we could do to stop it. You understand? We're not

blaming you here. You're not responsible for their deaths. This isn't a trial or

a court martial. All we want to know is how this happened. Just how

could it be that a brilliant young maser operator like yourself missed a target

as big as Godzilla? Were you afraid? Did you panic? Yes, sir. I did.

I panicked. They're blaming Akane for the whole thing.

Now they've transferred her to a desk job.

Well, Minister, it seems we've got a problem here. Godzilla is unique.

It's immune to maser fire. I agree. This certainly

seems to be the case for now. But it won't happen again.

Never. As of now, we're developing a new weapon.

It'll kill. Looks like a monster. What is it? Oh,

come on. You know what it is. Look again. They became extinct 245

million years ago. It's a trap. Trilobite. But it's a robot. Well,

half robot. Robotic exoskeleton inside

the muscles and nerves of a horseshoe crab. The brain. A tiny DNA computer.

Look at it move. Just like it's alive. It's my way of conserving them.

Every species needs a hand, Especially now.

Humans are ruining the earth, destroying ecosystems by the

dozen. I will reverse this tide. Nobody's listening.

See ya soon. We get some lunch.

Dr. Yahara? Yeah. Relax. We're with

the government. Could you please come with us? It's quite an urgent matter.

They're all here, sir. Gathered around this table

are the finest scientific minds in Japan. In fact, you scientists

are the brain of this country. I have something to show you. Something quite

shocking. Yes, sir. That's right.

Godzilla. What you're looking at is the skeleton

of the 1954 Godzilla. Last year,

we salvaged it from the Pacific. Dr. Yahara, what do

you think? Can you recover an inter spinal cell? It won't be easy.

Hold on. You want to clone it? Not quite. We want to make something

like Godzilla. It's called a bio robot. You're familiar with those,

I hear. We want to build a super weapon to fight Godzilla. Our biomechanical

Godzilla will be even more powerful than the real thing.

That's why you're here, all of you. Japan needs you people.

The nation's fate is in your hands. The emergency

bill on the development of the anti Godzilla super weapon is officially

passed. Where's the money coming from? One question, please.

How much will it cost? This is the national emergency,

people. We'll find the money. If we use it on Godzilla, we might use

it on other countries. Prime Minister, is this an attempt to rearm Japan

with weapons of mass destruction? No, it most certainly is not.

I've contacted world leaders. I've explained to them the threat that we're

facing. Japan's been savaged by Godzilla on two occasions.

The world's seen the evidence. They know how the victims suffered.

I'll meet with any leader still skeptical. How do you like the job?

So Far not exactly a high stress affair, is it?

I'm sure you'll find it most relaxing. We must have the super weapon operable

before it decides to attack again. I assure you when it is built, we'll destroy

Godzilla and rid our country of this menace whatsoever.

Good morning, Sarah. It's ready.

Coming. The level of support we've seen for this bill is

unprecedented. Almost 77% of the diet voted in favor of the

anti gun service superweapon. There are those who claim that has rushed.

I'm hungry. Thanks, daddy. The overwhelming public support. It seems

that concerns like these aren't real high on the agenda. Well, Doctor,

what's your opinion on this? Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? People are

terrified. Godzilla's got everybody scared. But do you think that with this to

legalize the bill some legitimate. Are you going to take the jobs. Are being pushed

aside. No way. Why not? I told you, I have

to stay and keep you company. Look, you're the most important thing in my life.

Sarah, you need me. I can't just take a job and leave you. Don't say

that. It's not fair. You're gonna make me feel bad. Hey,

baseball stars. We'll do it like they do. You know,

the player keeps his kid in the dugout with him. They do it all the

time. Isn't that a good idea? Sarah, baseball's one thing.

My job's a lot different. Now eat your veggies. I don't want you getting scurvy

on me. What about you? I'm completely immune to scurvy. I wonder who that could

be. Come on, eat up girl, or we'll be late. Doctor, please reconsider

your decision. I already said no. Didn't you hear me? We did. You made your

views clear. But here's a new proposal. What if we let you take your daughter

to work with you? You know, like those baseball players. Might that be something would

help change your mind? Hamsters make great pets, don't they?

Hey, shorty. You always wear those stupid pigtails? Hey, she just

moved here last week. Don't pick on. See that place? They're making

a robot. Yeah, and it's gonna kick Godzilla's butt.

Oh yeah? And what do they call it? It's a

Godzilla robot. It's called Mechagodzilla.

Mechagodzilla. Cool.

Cool. This is where I live. Bye. Guys,

I'm home. Welcome home.

Amazing. Just look at them. The spinal cells,

they've begun to do divide. This is a great day for the project doctor.

And a really great day for us all.

Thank you. Well done. Thank you. Well done.

Well done. We did it. Congratulations. Fantastic. Why Godzilla?

Why not Mom? I wish they'd bring her back to life. Instead. Here is my

complaint about the constant reboot quill status we have in this millennium

series. This scene is necessary every time. Here are the monsters we know

exist in stock footage so that you know what is in this world or not.

The that's why was a clip.

That fucking skeleton model is the fucking shit as well.

Oh, my God. That skeleton model they build to show that they found the original

God of skill Godzilla skeleton and they harvested it and they want to build something

out of it. That looked so rad. Yeah,

I was excited when I saw that. I was not expecting it. Yeah, it's definitely.

It'll make you pop the first time you see it. Because it makes me pop

every time I see it. Almost up there with the stripe

skeleton at the end of Grims. Yeah, that's pretty badass. I would

like to have one of those. Anybody want to 3D print one of those and

send them to me. Chris from outside the cinema,

if you're still messing around with 3D printers. At the end of the clip,

the film starts a sequence of the disgraced maser operator lady

working out like the fucking song. The Best around by Joe Esposito

is blaring for her every moment she is doing it. And the little

girl who dished out classified info to be a cool,

cool kid is making friends and playing with hamsters like this

is her own personal tale of coming of age or some shit. Why we needed

to see that in this sequence of the lady working out in a Godzilla film.

I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe the cinematographer

or director had just watched Silence of the Lambs and wanted

to have a bit of a Clarice Starling thing or.

Seriously, though, we had such great monster shit. Why are we doing this?

Why are we here? Why are we doing this now? We don't need this.

The film's an hour and 28 minutes. We don't need to watch this lady work

out and deal with her shit. We get it. She's troubled. The little girl is

also troubled. We didn't need any of this. They are haunted by their past.

I'm haunted by having to write that down in my notes.

Anyway, the film dissolves from this to a press conference. And that is

our fifth clip. Remember, this country is going to need strong leadership.

Can you lead them into battle? Yes.

And then it cuts to the woman working out even more. And then finally

we get to see the construction of Mechagodzilla. And then it cuts from that to

hopefully some longer Dialogue in a library in our sixth clip.

It's been a while. Listen. I'm leading the Kiyu Squad. Ku Squad?

Hmm. That's what they've called it. We're in charge of the weapon,

Mechagodzilla. We've got the best. Both pilots and crew.

I've put your name on the list, too. I watch. Want you back.

Please join us.

Kiyu Squad.

Right face.

Salute. At ease.

Kiyu Squadron, led by Colonel Togashi.

We're ready and reporting for. Judy.

What is this? Some kind of joke? What the hell are you doing here?

You know what? My brother died because of your mistake.

Quit it. You better watch your

backs, guys. She might screw up again. And then it'll be you in the body

bag. Hayama. What's going on? You got a problem?

You may be a pretty good pilot, but if you mess with my team,

I'll throw you off at double quick. That goes for a everybody. Come on,

let's go. Yeah.

We're the best. We're the best. We're the strongest. We're the strongest.

We're the meanest. We're the meanest. We will fight. We will fight. They will die.

They will die. We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win.

We will win. We will win.

Can I help you, ma'? Am? Tastes really good. You broke them when I found

it. Hey. Sleeping grass.

It moves when you touch it, right?

No. Coffee? Sure.

Here you go, ma'. Am. Thanks. Oh, I'll have the same as her.

Hi. Too obvious.

Butt out. Mind if

I sit down?

Sorry, Mr. Shira.

So, do you like children?

Oh, boy. Me and my big mouth.

Well, congratulations. I hear you punch piloting

Kiyu. That means they think you're the best pilot in the whole squad.

What a sick joke that is. You'll probably end up killing us all.

And who's this guy? A new admirer of yours?

How much did you have to pay him? Huh? Enough of that.

Beat it, old man.

Hayama, you need to learn some manners.

I see. Makes sense. That's why he's so hostile to you.

I thought there was something different about you.

I felt kind of a wall between you and the others.

Must be hard being alone.

So, have you had it for long? Yeah.

It's like her baby daddy. Sorry.

I had a plant when I was young. It was my only Friend.

No friends and no family. Some things never change.

And now I'm used to it.

It doesn't bother me anymore.

All right, let's make a deal. Deal.

If Mechagodzilla, my mistake.

If K beats Godzilla, then I'm going to buy you dinner

to celebrate. But then if K ends up eating Godzilla,

then its creator owes you an apology. So then I

guess I'll have to buy you dinner. What do you say, huh?

I liked my little plant, but I kept it too long.

Don't make the same mistake that I did. So she walks away as the little

girl watches. And that is the end of the first third of the film.

We are now exactly. I think it's 29 minutes about when it breaks up to

where it's. It's about 88 minutes. So it's around 29ish minutes to where

the third of the film are. And we're at the point of. They've just built

Mechagodzilla, and all of the major players are trying to get entangled in

all of their human drama. And it's. They're trying to side load

in a widowed man, a child who is deeply mourning

but not dealing with the loss of her mother, who resents her father,

showing interest in any other female because she thinks that her mother's

spirit is in that plant. Am I getting that right? Okay. I was. I wasn't

sure if it was her mother's spirit or the kid,

the baby who died when the mom died,

because the first time I had to take it back because I thought it was

a poor translation, because I thought when he said she. When she.

When my daughter was 4, the wife died in childbirth or whatever. And for a

second I was like, wait, wait. Did the kid survive the death of the mom?

No. There was going to be a little brother, a little sister.

I think it's the mom is her plant. And I could have sworn there were

times that they, like, lingered on the plant and it looked like the plant was

moving. Well, the plant could also be some, you know, other toxin inside my body.

No, no, the plants actually were moving. Because she does say in that clip something

about the type of grass that it is, that if you talk to it,

it'll move or something like that and like, it respond to

humans. And it's like a tool for someone who's in mourning, I think to have

someone or to feel like they're, you know, communicating with. I think she

says, like she. At some point, the lady does say about how she had had

one like it. But at some point, you know, you kind of have to come

back to reality, and you can't, you know, use this therapeutic tool for long.

And that's what that grass represents. So it could be the spirit

of both of them since. Yeah, and he does say that at first, it makes

it sound like the wife died in childbirth because he does say something about how

she had a choice where they could save the baby or they could save his

wife. And his wife decided she would rather give up her life to save the

baby. But that ended up being that both of them passed anyway. Like, they couldn't

save either. And that's why they were both lost. And that is what has such

a heavy toll on the daughter. And that's why she's carrying that plan around.

Because it's like a therapeutic thing, the way that it responds to communication or,

you know, whatever the humans do that it makes it move. Grief grass. Yeah,

it's a. Grief grass is basically what. Because it responds and it

gives you a sense of having something there, you know, like to communicate

with or what have you to ease your grief. So that's how it's set up.

And apparently this lady knew. My guess was after she had

those people be killed by a Godzilla waffle stomp, you know,

she probably got the grass for that reason, and now she's moved on and she's

trying to make amends by getting back into the fight. Right. I mean, that's kind

of what it seems like they're implying. Some of us use other kinds of grass

when we're trying to deal with grief. Yeah, yeah. I've got my own very special

blend of grief grass. I say

good grief and reach for that grass. That's what happens. Gotta grab the good grief

grass. Yeah, yeah. You gotta have that good grief grass. You can't have grief grass.

That isn't good. Because if you don't have good grief grass, what you have is

grief. That ain't good. All right,

you ready to kick into the second third of the film? Yes, sir. All right,

so the second third of the film starts with an establishing shot shot. That porno

pans over the Mechagodzilla suit as it is set up in under construction

mode. They follow all the way up to the top where a presentation

is started with some talky hole expository dialogue. And our

seventh clip. Welcome. I'd like to announce that the anti Godzilla weapon

is ready. Soon our country will be impregnable.

The government would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to all of involved

in making this massive project a reality. And we hope you share our

pride as we present this great achievement to the world.

Congratulations. We've done it. The chief

scientists involved will now explain the machine's structure and performance.

Good afternoon. The robot's form is based on Godzilla's

body. Kiyu's robotics are the most advanced the world has ever seen.

It has been designed designed to withstand every conceivable combat situation.

Now, to its cpu, it's powered by DNA computers.

With ordinary computers, the binary system is used.

But DNA ones use base 4 and are the fastest

computers that exist today. Q can be programmed for specific

battle operations. But at any point, those parameters can be changed instantaneously

by remote control from the AC3 transport craft.

Captain. What the heck is that?

A whale? No. Too big. This is AMF

hq. We're tracking a very large animal in the Pacific.

Scramble all aircraft and intercept immediately. Kiyu can

be in a combat situation for two hours. If we needed to fight

any longer, the machine can be remotely recharged using an aircraft

implanted with microwave energy. Launched from the nearest air force base.

Its main weapon is a powerful gun. Observe.

It's called the Absolute Zero gun, and it's extremely effective.

Please watch the screen. We held our first live fire test of

the weapon late last week. Basically, it emits an intense low

temperature ray which freezes the target to absolute zero or

minus 2, 273 degrees. This allows destruction of

the target at a molecular level.

At last, we have the ultimate weapon. There's something

moving down there. There's no way It's a ship with. The Absolute Zero

weapon. And in addition to its huge arsenal of more conventional weapons,

Kyu is an invincible. He's heading due north, straight from Tokyo. Excuse me. Would this

carry nuclear weapons or conventional weapons? Alert the Joint Chiefs

immediately. Prepare Kiyu. Sir.

Kieu Squadron, we have a code red. This is

not a drill. We are on red alert. You are now under the direct

orders of the AMF Chief of Staff. KU Squadron,

prepare for departure. This is not a drill. Repeat, Godzilla not a drill.

Godzilla. White Heron,

cruise to your aircraft. All systems

green. Systems check complete.

Lift joint okay. Unlock step up.

White Herons 1, 2 and 3 to win. Dock position.

Barriers up. We are go for liftoff.

US Army's on the line, sir. Wait here.

The White Herons are ready to go liftoff.

Roger,

Heron two. Lifting off.

Opening Q bay doors.

Commencing left procedure. Doors are

fully open. ATP system clear.

Ground crew, pull back to safe zone immediately.

Repeat, ground crew, pull back to safe zone. Immediately.

Lowering transport cables.

Commence key lift procedure.

Kiyu has lifted up. Aircraft are clear.

Balance gyros optimal. Control.

They're on the way. Godzilla has just entered

Tokyo Bay. It is heading directly for the city's down downtown area. Other cities are

threatened. Yokosuka, Yokohama, also Kawasaki.

Evacuations have begun. Eyewitnesses are reporting severe

road conditions. Evacuees should abandon their vehicles.

Joking. Move it. Get out of the

Come on, move it. Godzilla has sighted nearby. Evacuate the

area immediately. Hey, come here.

Godzilla has sighted nearby. Evacuate the area immediately.

Don't just stand there. We've got to get out of here.

Has finished. All visitors to the Akijima Sea paradise must

leave the park immediately. Please follow the instructions given by military

personnel. Get your children directly to the nearest place of safety.

We've just signed of Godzilla.

Pull back. Back. Pull back. Now the

model and effects work in. This is a bit of a mixed bag.

And the discussion is rife with unnecessary declarative statements

about the capabilities that this new Godzilla has. And just when they pull

a roger in dawn of the Dead and brag about how indestructible this new

Mechagodzilla is, Godzilla pops up from the ocean there at the end of the clip,

activating the whole launch sequence that you end up hearing.

And at the end of the clip, Godzilla walks through. And as I always like

to say, and I mean, right the. Through a model of that

large stadium, that it's passable. They do a nice shot of it that they

have before, but the model doesn't quite look right. That's why I said it's a

bit of a mixed bag. But watching him walk right the fuck through it.

I just pressed the I believe button and it didn't care. It looked fine to

me. It was passable. Yeah, I even like that. You know,

sometimes I feel like when they're working with making small

water, like miniature water things, sometimes it looks like

big water, sometimes it looks like splashing little water. Yeah,

you'll even get that. I think I feel like in Temple

of Doom, there's even a part where it's like that looks like small water,

if that makes any sense to you. I know. Actually don't have a lot of

the technical. Yeah, you are 100% correct. What a lot of people may or

may not know is that water and things like water and fire and stuff

like that to do in miniatures is very, very difficult. Which is why Peter Jackson

went to what is called a bigature Right. Where I think he went to a

larger scale model that would help sell that for a lot of his water.

He still used a lot of CGI water in Lord of the Rings and stuff

like that, but he did try to use larger models to help sell the water

a little bit more and make it more passable. Even like Superman,

when that dam breaks in the Dick Donner Superman movies, that water's

not very believable either. The. The thing that Toho does really, really well that makes

Godzilla emerging out of the water work is they had a gigantic fucking tank

that they could have him like. Like to scale, look like a giant

ocean area that he emerges from, and it was just deep enough for the suit

to come up out of and walk around in. And that's how they make that

stuff really, really work because they composite it in with that giant fucking tank that

they have. That really helps. Yeah, but when you're starting to do, like you said,

like a rushing water thing, you have to have rushing

water be of enough of a scale for it to trick your eye. Still really

difficult because water in that mass of a quantity has a different weight

and flow to it than when it's less. Like, less quantity. You dump

it on and it splashes and froths a little bit. It doesn't look the same.

And you're absolutely right. It's a problem that affects people have been fighting with forever.

And even CG has such a difficult time trying to recreate that.

I mean, I'm sure that competes a little bit with that. Like, what is the

word? Atavistic or atavistic like prime. Like primordial or

primal feeling of fight or flight. Like we're. Our eyes

are more trained. Like, is this fire? Is this water actually dangerous?

Yeah, to me. And I'm sure that's ingrained deep down in our reptile

brain, you know? Yeah. And I think if we start being able to deceive our

brains that much, to where we won't be able to tell the difference.

Who's to say that entertainment isn't going to take us too far and start,

like, literally killing us? Because there's some people that will have some fucking heart attacks

if they believe they're about to drown. Like, if it really fools your brain that

much when you're watching entertainment. Right. That's where VR comes in and it's like,

oh, how dangerous? Dangerous can that go? Yeah, people just falling over,

you know, Run. Yeah, yeah. Running. Running and yanking TV down

on top of them. Sprady Krueger Style or

scream. Whichever reference you'd rather. Yeah, Yeah.

I was thinking Shocker. With all the TV TV deaths in Shocker.

Shocker. Yeah. All right. Let's get back to it. Just one

more thing about the suit. They at least built this shit. And that

looks way fucking better than CGI rubble fields that we've seen in the Millennium

Series before. Especially Godzilla walking through this in 2000 when he's walking through the city

and they do just CG dust and rubble fields around for every step.

This stuff is actual rubble happening. And I would much rather see a

model that's not as convincing be smashed. Because at least it's something being

smashed in front of me to watch and not just cgi. Yeah.

All right. It's hard for Mechagodzilla to work with a green screen.

Absolutely. The military and Mecha G move into position. Flying over Big

G in a terrific aerial shot to show sc. The matte lines are a bit

iffy on this, but it's still solid. It still looks good. And that leads to

our eighth clip here. Squadron are in position.

Standby to initiate attack sequence. All troops

stand by to launch attack. Activate the maser guns.

Can Kiyu stop that thing?

Target sight. Begin descent. Roger.

Beginning descent. AKA Jima has been evacuated.

Kiyu has landed. All aircraft get out of its field of fire.

Evacuate the area. Transport cables fully retracted.

Light Hero 3 is pulling out. Commence attack.

Roger. Rockets armed. Firing Missiles

away. Hit it with the masers. Do it now.

Roger.

Check it out. It's retreating. Akane, Finish it

off. Absolute zero. Standby.

Close off. It's primed. What's wrong?

I'm not getting response. Something's wrong here.

We're losing control. Switch to backup. This can't be happening.

Now. Godzilla's gonna get away. Kiyu is

no longer responding to commands. Akane.

What's happening down there? It won't respond.

Roger that. Take it back to base. Roger.

Roger. Jesus Christ. Are you

trying to kill us? Akane. What's wrong? It's out of control.

It's gone berserk. It's what.

It'S acting like. System overridezilla.

All units remain in place. Standby for the order to attack.

Where the hell's the K squad? Control?

I'll try and distract Might. Follow me.

You sure? Just leave it to me.

Damn it. Follow me, would you?

Aaron 3 stout, sir. You okay?

Hi, Emma. Hayama. Let's get out of

here. Get out.

Why'd you say save me? It's working fine. It's just

not responding. Of Course K thinks we're the enemy.

This is nothing. Wait till it fires its main weapon. Can't you

stop it? Do something now. I'm sorry,

sir. All we can do now is wait till it runs out of power.

How long will that take?

An hour. God help us.

Not responding to remote shutdown commands. When you around

with giant monster skeletons, you often fight out that it will

become an unstoppable force of doom. Until it runs

out of power anyway. Which is what seems to happen to the rampaging

monstrosity as it runs out of power after walking through. And I mean

right the fuck through a skyscraper. That one looks perfect.

That cartoon style. Yeah. No notes. It walked right the fuck through. No notes.

That looked great. With the setting sun behind

the city to really sell some scale here, though. This looks gorgeous. This whole

sequence I really enjoyed. I think this sequence had some very

terrific model work. And it all works for me. It really sells it. And when

he walks through that fucking building and it stays together except for that cartoon shape

where he used to be, I'm thinking to myself, well, this is Tokyo,

right? Or this is Japan's city that is being constantly barraged

and hit by these giant monsters. They probably would make a structure

that was sturdy enough for one of them to walk through. And then they just

have to repair the middle section. Yeah, I mean, we talked a

little bit about that in the last one. And I'm sure

gets talked about a lot in Godzilla related movies is in a Godzilla

existent world. It would affect so many different. It would. It would affect

architecture. Yeah. You would design a building to be walked through and at

least save as much of it as you can. Because as long as your side

girders hold and the whole building is sturdy, you're fine.

Yeah. Fill in the middle. Right. Now, obviously the people

trapped in the building are not fine. And like, all of that stuff, it's still

a loss. But, you know, I mean, I'm sure insurance companies are not even

a thing. When Kaijus exist, it's pretty much everybody has to pitch in and deal

with Kaijus or else. Right. Like, that's just like rebuilding a sports stadium

that just gets taken out of the government money. Right, Right. It has to come

out of everybody's pocket. There has to be like a unitary thing where we all

work together to make it happen. Otherwise we don't have a society. We just have

a bunch of drones running around at selfish ends, doing their own thing and trying

to survive. And then the whole colony collapses. And that's not what we want.

Yeah, you get Japanese leaders elected and they're like. Lots of

countries are not paying their fair share in rebuilding after

the Kaijus hit us. It's very unfair. Very unfair.

I have no idea what you are referring to, sir. So I'm just going to

move on with the rest of my notes. Moving on. Moving on. Wrong show.

Wrong show. The model work looks fucking gorgeous. They cut away from this

to newspaper headlines that basically state what a fuck up this

all is and call for the resignation of the new leader of the nation

and so forth. They cut to that leader in this film,

looking dour and getting out of a car. That means dialogue of an

expository nature is on our way. In our ninth clip. Have you found Godzilla yet?

No, not yet. So far we found no trace of it.

I see. I'll take full responsibility.

I pushed Project KIU too hard.

But you can't resign, so. Sir, we need Kiyu.

What happened was a design floor. It can be fixed. And what about the squadron?

I really don't know. You see, son, Kiyu and Godzilla have the

same DNA. So Kiyu might turn against us again.

Circular joint. Okay.

Something out there sure made it angry. But what could it be?

Akamatsu, I need your data now. Sure.

It happened right after Godzilla's roar. It was the sound.

It triggered something in Mechagodzilla. So will you be able to fix

Q? Of course. You see, all Q's computers were put

together using the original Godzilla's DNA. But we can fix that.

If we change the base DNA and then assemble completely new computers.

Then we're home free and Godzilla will be finished. Let's hope so. But it's

a waste. I'm sure Godzilla will end up destroying Q.

Maybe. But listen, Kyu's all we've got,

right? Just for you. I will give it my all.

There goes my mouth again. Hey,

how's the head? That was a close shave. Why did you save me?

Huh? So that I don't owe you my life? I'd rather be dead. What's your

problem? Hey, man, she saved my life as well.

Oh, great. So you're all on her side, are you? Cut the

crap. We're fighting Godzilla here, not Akane.

Drop the attitude, would you? All right.

Hey, come on. Let's get out of here. Where did Sarah go

to? Sarah? What are you doing?

Dad? K is a living creature to too, right? Why are

we making it fight Godzilla when it just wants to be friends? It's not

fair. The H Bomb created Godzilla. So we build a Cyborg to destroy

it, and it turns on us. Well, it's our own fault, nobody else's.

I know what you mean. I really do. No, you don't.

You adults, you tell us all that life is important, but you

don't believe it. Just look. That poor creature is in pain and you don't care.

Sarah, she's been through a lot. When she

was 4, her mom died in childbirth. She got sick. It was just one of

those things. You see, the doctors told us that they could either save her life

or the life of the baby. Tough choice. I told the doctor to save my

wife's life. My wife, she wanted the baby to be born more than anything.

And then we had Sarah, who wanted them both to stay alive. Of course,

sadly, both of them ended up dying. Ever since then,

little Sarah has been really sensitive about things that to do with life and death.

Hey, are you talking with your mother again? Sarah, that's none of your

business. You have to stop running away from reality. Move on.

I know it's scary, but you have to stop it. Just leave me alone.

Hey. If you want to survive, you've got to put up a fight. That's what

I've had to do. What do you mean? Fight who? I've had to fight everyone.

Anyway, Q is alive. You're right. And it's a lot like me. His life

is worth nothing at all. What are you talking about? No, it's not.

Nobody's gonna miss me when I'm gone. I should never at all. Stop it.

Life is a precious. Every life is worth something.

Everyone. Are you sure? They cut from this to Big G under the water

in the ocean, taking a little R and R. And they use this as

an opportunity to do some great puppeteering of the eyelid and

the iris of his eye before they cut from this to human dialogue

stuff in our tent. Whip, here's the latest sonar contact.

It's close. Godzilla Possum

probably. It's moving real fast. Godzilla has

been sighted in Tokyo Bay. It's heading towards Shinigawa.

ETA is over 100 hours. All troops, take your positions

immediately. The evacuation is proceeding according to

plan, sir.

Unit in position on Shinagawa pier.

There it is. Hold your ground.

Begin attack. F2, yellow five. Beginning attack.

Godzilla heads inland and is attacked by jets. At the end

of the clip, he responds by frying the jets with his atomic breath. There is

a terrific shot of him walking towards the cameras lit like the monster

he is. While the jets he fried crash into fiery explosions

through the hellscape he is Walking.

Total badass moment there. Because it all just lights up. Big red fire.

And then he's just stepping through it like, yeah, you're done.

Yeah, slow Mo. Stroll mo. The military moves mazers

and other weapons into position. And they blast away with maser fire

in retreat before Big G just fries the entire fucking

dock. He is right near with his atomic breath. And they

cut from that shot to a shot of Mecha g. And our.

11Th clip has landed at Shinagawa Q.

Overhaul complete. Diagnostics complete. All parameters

Shinigawa's under sustained attack. All troops fall back to

defensive positions. The repairs are complete. It's ready.

Aren't you gonna scramble the squad? Not yet. All our other

weaponry is useless. What are we waiting for? More innocent people?

People to be killed? Unit one is sustained 40 damage. Unit two,

move to front line. Move it up. Come on. Right, let's go.

Chief of Staff is waiting for you, sir. He's at the central command

post. He'll brief you there. Very good. And the head of AMF in the.

Kiyu control room, Sir. What is it? Sir, I'd like

permission to launch K. It's been fully repaired.

It's completely safe. You better be sure, Togashi. Both our futures depend on

this. I'd stake my life on planet.

Permission granted. It's the only chance we

have left against Godzilla. I take full responsibility.

Godspeed to you, Colonel. General.

The Prime Minister gave the okay.

I heard. That's good news. I'm going with them.

Fine. Systems check complete. All systems green.

Gentlemen. Launch Kyu. Initiating K launch

procedure. At the end of the clip,

the daughter of the genetic computer guy extends a hand out to

the female pilot that is making her father tumescent in all

definitions of the word. And we are left wondering what will happen with this

handshake as that takes us over the 2/3 mark of the film.

So we are almost there. We're ready for pretty much the final

showdown of the movie and the battle. Because we only got about 28 minutes left.

And I don't know how much of that is going to be suit fight.

I didn't quite time it all out, but it was enough to make me happy

to watch this once again. That's all I'm going to say. Final countdown.

The thing I think the Matt will hate the most about you guest hosting is

you get to sing and he doesn't. Because I'm not going to yell at you

for that. I'm sorry. I didn't do that on purpose. I forgot.

All right, so we've Got this shaping up.

So Kira has this issue where because it is built out of a

Godzilla, it somehow became self aware as a Godzilla

again on how they built it from the Godzilla roar. And then it went and

griefed its own city. And Godzilla is like, oh, you got this. And just was

like, okay, well. And then he just walks away. And I also think that Godzilla

wasn't going to attack that one because the DNA was close enough in

how it was built that something was making Godzilla think that they were together,

like they were kind of the same, or that it was another creature like him,

you know, and it was friend shaped. Is a friend. Yeah. If not friend,

why not? Why friend shaped, Right? Yeah.

And also, maybe there was like a, you know, like a sense because, you know

how animals will have like a certain scent and they can tell that they're the

same kind of animal or something along those lines. You can differentiate with that.

And maybe there's something there that Godzilla can sense that it

was built out of. You know, the original him, if you will.

I can tell there's part of me. Which is why I think it just kind

of roars when it gets attacked and is like, okay, well, well, I'll leave you

alone then. And just walks away. Right. I think that's why Godzilla does that in

this one the first time around, you know, just to let Mecha G go off

and rampage. And it's fun to watch Mecha G actually destroy

the city too, so. But then they come back and they decide they're going

to make it to where Mecha G won't react to the Godzilla roar.

And they think they have the problem solved. And that's where our final battle is

getting started. And I'm pretty sure that that's going to be whatever they change is

going to make it to where Big G is going to now. Say, hey,

you friend shape, but you don't smell right or you don't feel right.

We're going from don't start nothing. Won't be nothing to

f around. Find out.

And we also may or may not

have a situation to where it's kind of uncanny valley

which angers Godzilla even more, where he's like, you look like you might be me,

but you ain't me, and I don't like it. I'm gonna show you how

me I can be. You can't out me

me. That's where I keep. Right now.

Now let's move on to the end with the run to the end. What do

you think? I'm down. All right. So the run to the end picks up with

the female hero pilot smiling at the daughter, looking to shake hands with

her. They shake hands. The dad is shown sighing relief, and the

pilot bolts out as they cut to Mecha G taking

off. And then to the daughter who says some talky hole stuff

in our 12th clip. You know, Mom,

I kind of like her. She reminds me of

you. Coming aboard.

We are coming to you live from outside Shawa Hospital,

seeing her as one of complete devastation.

Well, they're lying on floors and Godzilla.

I see, see it? Range 350 meters.

It's coming right for us. SSM1, activate your

squadron. Be advised, Godzilla is approaching the hospital. We're too

late. We'll have to release K. What? Is she serious?

Prepare to release. Yeah, she's serious. She's still trying to get us to call a

Kira when we know it's Mechagodzilla for Godzilla.

Deal with it, lady. It's fucking. Mechagodzilla doesn't

need to be called anything else. With that, Mecha G fires up its

own mega rockets and starts flying its way in relatively tolerable

CGI fashion towards its intended target at significantly faster speeds.

They cut from this to the inside of a tank and our 13th clip.

SSM1, fire.

With that, they fire off a bunch of missiles into Big G.

And he returns fire with a massive atomic breath blast.

As Mecha G swoops in to the rescue, we see a nurse

realize a little girl is still inside the hospital that Big

G seems determined to destroy, like the bad boy he is in this flick.

And he full on gives the fuck you eyes to the nurse standing

there about to be obliterated. But before the blast of the his atomic breath

can happen, Mechagodzilla does an epic anime vaso

slide into the right of the frame, shoulder checking Godzilla like

the hockey enforcers of old. Right out of gameplay,

right up against the boards, right? Did it not look like that? Like he fucking

board checks Godzilla hard that Mechagodzilla does. Yeah,

make him know you're there. Mecha G is holding

a pose, glowing, glowing brightly for quite a bit of time before that

light effect fades and it gets back into its straight standing robot

pose. The soldier who stayed behind to try to help the nurse takes the

opportunity to try once again to get us to call Mecha G

that odd name before he evacuates her out to safety. No,

it's Mecha G. It's not that other name.

You're not selling me on this movie. We're rebranding.

We're trying to rebrand. They cut from this to Big G getting up out of

the rubble and out a roar. Mecha G steps into position.

And they cut to even more talky hole dialogue

in our 14th clip. Get in, quick.

Evacuation of the area complete. Akane, your go.

Roger. Commencing attack. This sets off a hellfire

of missiles at Big G with terrific explosions and smoke effects.

But is barely an inconvenience for Big G who roars and charges

at Mecha G. Mecha G roars his own soulless bionic battlecry and

charges in to meet Big G in a set of explosive collisions.

There's explosions every time they run into each other. It looks like they're smashing into

things or stomping on cars that explode. And then also the buildings look like they

kind of go up. But also it looks like just Big G causes a random

explosion everywhere. It strikes against Mecha G too. So I'm not sure exactly

if that's all of it or if that was all intended to be just that

way or if they just had them have explosions whenever they hit. Just to sell

it. I don't know. Against metal.

Right? Who knows? Godzilla gets the upper hand and really

pushes Mecha G back. So Mecha G fires off a ton of missiles and

then flies in a retreat to use maser fire from the mouth on Big G

for what feels like fucking ages. Until Big G does a

direct atomic breath blast that sends Mecha G into

next week and out of the fucking frame. They cut to some

talkie hole dialogue and our 15th clip. Give me a damage report.

We're okay.

Mecha G appears to have lost its shoulder cannon in that atomic

breath blast that sent it rocking backwards. But it is back up,

engaging in what we in the hillbilly appreciators of Godzilla business

call a Kaiju slobber knocker. Big G

decides to make the shoulder cannon ratio an even number once

again by forcibly removing the last one with a short arm punch.

They get knocked apart and engage in the traditional

test of strength mercy game that you see wrestlers like to do a lot.

They used to call it Indian wrestling, but that's a problematic term now. But it's

basically you clutch hands and try to see who can make the other one get

down on their knee by being stronger and breaking the wrist back and pushing the

arms down and stuff. That's what they're doing. This tense of strength and mercy game

continues. Which Godzilla starts to win until

Mecha G stabs him right in the bicep. With a hidden

arm sword that also starts pumping what looks like that yellow

mazer power into it as well. Is that what you thought it was? Yeah,

that's what I thought it was. I thought, yeah.

This does Big G real dirty and

really seems to hurt him until he starts glowing super blue

and atomic breath blasts that weapon right the fuck into

oblivion. And to add insult to injury, Big G shows us he

has been trained as as he executes a devastating front

heel pump kick that puts Mecha G on its back

for the fucking count. That was fucking awesome. And yanks

the blade out of its arm. Yeah, that's the next thing that he does.

Big G pulls that knife blade right out of his arm. It's still sticking in

his bicep. He pulls it right out and then just carelessly discards it like it

was, I don't know, like a sliver or a splinter and it doesn't even matter.

Before crouching back into his modern fighting stance and getting ready to

do some more stomping on Mecha G. So he goes charging, stomping his way at

Mech G, and uses that momentum to stomp a foot firmly

on his opponent, pinning it down and firing up a mega

atomic breath blast that is interrupted at the last second

when Big G is struck multiple times with missile fire. Which leads

into our 16th clip. You're clear. Get out.

Back unit away. Releasing now.

This bit of silliness has the back rocket fired

at Godzilla, driving him backward and far enough away

for Mecha G to regroup. Godzilla tosses the rocket aside

after it's not pushing him that strongly and

mostly out of fuel. This causes the rocket pack to still explode into

a beautiful goddamn fireball right next to him. No notes.

Perfection.

The pilot declares that she will now show the Godzilla

what Mecha G can do and activate some kind of hypersonic

ultra fast movement Cass Hearn style motion attack. Side note

for listeners, if you don't know what any of that, fine, but find the live

action Cassern at some point from this same era. And I hope it's as cool

as I remember it. Anyway, Mecha G does some kind of old school Superman leap

and is then behind Big G. Big G turns and the pair start

another slobber knocker battle. This time they are working

us, with Mecha G hammering down on Big G and

really driving him backward through the cityscape.

Complete with actual miniature debris fields and pulver cement

dust everywhere. All of it practical too. That dust that's going

around everywhere and flying off of them when they're hitting. Wow. Really well done model

work in this sequence. Very well. Yeah. You feel. You feel the depth of the

debris. Yeah. This drive backwards ends with

Godzilla sprawled out face down. So Mecha G does some more silliness with

a mega tailspin using its remaining back

rockets that spin ends with a massive toss of Big G

by the tail across the city. Crashing to the ground as Mecha

G charges to press its attack. Big G gets up, looks a bit

woozy. Actually looks woozy as fuck. And then immediately

falls right back over again. Folks, this is just to

work. You don't need to worry about Big G. His rage filled ass is just

happy to have a good fight right now. And is totally pulling a rope.

A dope. Because not only can he take this punishment, he's just gonna get stronger

when he heals from every attack that's happening. But anyway, the people celebrate too much

in our 17th clip. We did can't happen

fight for much longer. Its power cells are running down.

The current readings show only 45% left.

We have to finish this quickly. Roger that.

Akane. Absolute Zero standby.

Absolute Zero standby. Locks off.

Absolute Zero away. The buildings

have disappeared. What are you doing? Akan. Get up.

I can't, sir. Kiyo's not responding. What? Sir.

The heat ray. It's damaged Kiyu's control systems. Get it fixed.

It's not over yet. Guys. There's a way to operate Kyu manually,

right? I can get into it through an external hatch. That's it. Are you

kidding? She'll die. That's not a heat ray. It's a stream of pure radiation.

I'm going. You can't stop me. I'm not afraid to die.

Negative. Wish me luck. No, wait.

Akane. You can't do this. Stop. Get back in formation.

Take care. Good luck. I know you can

do it. All Mazer Gun units fired. Godzilla.

Draw its attention. Are the energy levels holding? No,

they're dropping fast. They're almost down to zero. Call the power company.

There must be a way to get power from the city's power grid. To get

enough, we'd have to black out the whole of Tokyo. We'll do it.

No question. I'll call him personally.

Damn it. Some of the dialogue. Right? Like it's that corny.

Yeah. You know, your ego's right. And checks your body can't cash

type stuff. Yeah, yeah. There's. Okay, we. We kind of talked about it. Where the

clip was playing. So I might as well bring it up here. Now that the

clip is Done. There's like a lot of dialogue in this with the military

people that run the Kiru. Like Mechagodzilla functions where

it feels like they're hotshots dialogue. Or like Hot Shots Part two.

It's like you said, your mouth writing checks your body can't cash

and stuff like that. Where they put in the cliches in Hot Shots to point

out how cliche this stuff is. And yet the dialogue that's dubbed in here is

almost exactly the same. And they're trying to play it as if it's straight,

right? Yeah. And it could be more beautifully said in

the original Japanese. But yeah, let's just hope so for that sake. But it

doesn't fucking matter because the Kaiju shit is solid on this one. That's all that

matters to me. Yes, this movie is what it's supposed to be.

With that, the Akani lady fires her batarang gun from the 90s

Batman movies and weasels her way inside of that Mecha G. And they

cut to more expository dialogue in our 18th.

Suspend the power supply to all areas. Area 15 and 16

off. Area 17 and 18 off. There's no work

Make sure you decontaminate. Yes, Dr. Yahara.

It's on, but it's

out of power. We're sending it. Stand by.

Microwave transition command receiving.

Locked on. Radiate.

K. I know you can hear me.

You and I are going to get along just fine.

Now let's have some fun.

Okay, we are gonna.

Akane, look out. The clip ends with Mecha G being

properly piloted by Akane. It's back up on its cybernetic

feet all of 0 seconds before big G pulls a

nasty and shoots that fucking thing in the back with some super strong

atomic breath. And it's breath so strong as a matter of fact, it sends Mecha

G fast stumble stomping its way forward with the blast's

momentum. The Mecha G is now knocked to the ground. And Big G is a

bit of a sore winner as he gloats a little bit with his little roar.

I'm not wrong, right? It did seem like they were making him look like he

was gloating there, right? Yeah. That was a bit of a yeah. From Godzilla.

A little Ray Jackson and early on in Bloodsport.

Yeah, I did it. I did it. No.

Akane is knocked cold and has a flash flashback to about

an hour and 10 minutes ago or so to the death she is responsible

for. And then has a flash forward from there to less than 15

minutes ago. Where we see the girl accept her and then like,

what, 20 minutes before that, when the team finally accepted her, they flash

to that. They accept her from saving the other pilots. I guess they thought

we would have forgotten all of this that happened and that's why they need to

reshow it. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure they're counting on,

you know, a significant portion of people checking out during

some of those parts. So it's like, do you remember, Remember this? Or seeing this

for the first time? They end this silliness with a shot of the doc that

has the hots for this saucy pilot named Akane.

And then we get the obligatory psychic moment when

the girl projects her feelings of loss for her mother onto this

woman and asks her not to die. She actually gets to see her say that

this has Akane ready to fight as she calls out to the spirit of Mecha

G and then gets into the pilot seat and gets

the thing back up on its feet. Big G prepares a mega blast of atomic

breath. But the main pilot dude decides he will sacrifice himself. So he

ejects his co pilot somehow and then flies right

at Godzilla's mouth, taking a breath blast and still crashing right

into Godzilla's mouth. Big G chomps down and smashes the

fuck out of the plane with one arm bar

drop, leaving the main guy in the plane alive in

the mouth of this beast as he orders Akane to

fire that Absolute Zero now that Godzilla's mouth is clogged

up with his corpse to be, what the fuck?

I forget about this every fucking time. And every time I'm like,

that's the most insane thing I think I might have seen in a Godzilla film.

Like last week when Dan and I was covering our film, the guy flies a

sub into Godzilla's mouth to be able to fire a rocket from inside of him

to kill him or attempt to kill him. This pilot was like, you know what?

I'm just gonna kamikaze my way into his fucking mouth and let's see what happens.

This is how you fuck around and find out.

Still more plausible than the Jaws, the revenge.

Yeah, but that bought Michael Caine a house with a really nice pull. So I'm

fine with that. Right? Good for him. He deserves it. Absolutely. I 100% agree.

All right, so the pilot does just that. After the

order, she fires up the Absolute Zero. But she uses all

the power the jets and the rest of the machine has to charge

forward and bear hug Godzilla while yanking the plane

out of his mouth, launching that pilot dude out, activating his parachute.

Then she grabs Big G's mouth and clamps it shut

using her control of Mecha G while flying off, holding the

Absolute Zero tight against Godzilla's chest and struggling

to hold it all together while hurtling towards the ocean.

They crash under the sea and she fires off the Absolute Zero.

We get quite stunned reactions from the cast as

a giant CGI ice monolith constructs itself out of

million of frozen spikes refreezing together like an H

bomb explosion of ice in the shape of it. Does that sound about right?

Yeah, like an atomic mushroom cloud of. Ice sickles freezing

together, climbing its way upwards. Yeah. This ice

monolith then shatters and underneath we get a little peek of what appears to

be a few Godzilla spines. Out from under all of that ice. He breaks from

the surface and gives us a that was a bit brisk sounding

roar in our clip, Godzilla has resurfaced.

No sign of Kuming

control. Main weapon damaged. Power cells depleted.

I'm sorry. I failed. No,

you didn't. You did great.

Just great. Send a rescue unit to K Akani.

We're coming to get you.

Had sustained 37% damage.

Well, we couldn't destroy it,

but we did manage to drive Godzilla away.

Yes, we did. At last we can beat Godzilla.

It'll be dead soon. We had to sacrifice a lot to get here. But this.

This is a great victory.

Thank you.

Is a Numa. Great job.

Sarah. Where is she?

They cut from the control room to Akane getting out of Mecha

G to stand in her Rob Liefeld designed pouch covered

flight suit and stare off into the sunset watching Big G

make his way out into the ocean. And then they roll those credits.

Cinema Sylps but wait. There is

a scene of Akane looking at the Mecha G being rebuilt

in a stinger at the very end of the credits. And they do some talky

hole explaining in our final clip. The care crew reports to deck

one immediately. Repeat, repair crew report to deck one.

Thank you. For what? For giving me the strength I needed.

And that goes for you as well. Every life is worth something. I know

what you meant by that. Now where's the plant? Oh yeah,

Remember our bet? I have to buy you dinner to celebrate your victory.

No, I didn't win that. We'll call it a tie. You know what that means?

I have to buy the two of you dinner sometimes.

I'm in. And with that

very creepy, misogynistic, weird thing that he just said to his own daughter,

we end this film. Cinema PsyOps

oh, man, the model work. Fighting in this is definitely where

it's at. All of the fighting in this is really well done. This is

one of the best Mecha G sculpts out of all of them. I really

like the one from the 90s quite a bit, and I'm not sure which one

is the one that ended up in Ready Player one that I've talked about before,

but it looks like it's a. Like, it just tries to get a general mechagodzilla

thing. I don't think it's a very specific one, but it also feels very much

like the 70s version. But he has other weaponry in it too,

so it's, you know, like anything whenever it becomes fandom. As long

as it's enough like a Mecha G whenever you see it in that kind of

a game, you know it's a Mecha G, but they change it just enough to

get away with it being Mecha G. Yeah. Justin. Yeah.

I don't like that they keep calling the thing Kiro. I like the idea that.

I get the idea that it's like a biomechanical. It's not quite a machine.

It's not quite a Kaiju. That's like living again or resurrected.

You know, it's like something in between, like a cybernetic

being. But I don't know if I also like the idea that a Godzilla roar

could activate the primal Godzilla within its own bones. Like,

it seems like ghost in the machine spirituality. They don't know what they want to

do, so they just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks and works

for the plot. Yeah. And I mean. Yeah. And what? It makes the

eyes turn red when it wakes up its own self. Yeah. When it becomes

an evil Godzilla, its eyes turn red. And then it's like evil Mechagodzilla style.

Yeah. I would kind of like to have seen that it still

didn't work, even though they changed the thing. Like, the fact that they, you know,

desecrated the corpse of a Godzilla to build this thing should

have made them suffer more. I think that he should have activated the primal Godzilla

again at the end. And it should have been Mechagodzilla being activated

as a primal Godzilla, destroying the city and Godzilla. And then they both have

to sort of work together. Like, you know, they're fighting together, but Godzilla's like,

oh, no, you can't destroy these cities. Only I can destroy these cities. And then

decides to destroy Mecha G that way. Right. And it could

have been the Same result where, like, you know, Mecha G still fires off the

absolute zero and, you know, they throw him into the ocean and it still

doesn't work. Right. And then they have to rebuild Mecha G again. You know,

it's like, you really have to think about it, though. Like, they're desecrating the corpse

of a Godzilla for this thing. So there should be some

kind of spiritual payback if you're going to make it hint that there's something supernatural

about this. Yeah. You know, just much like Godzilla within

that world, Godzilla arising when enough destruction of the planet or the environment

or whatever, you know, or an imbalance happens.

I think that we especially. I mean, I'm. I'm a

casual. I. I feel like the more dedicated fans

would have totally appreciated that extra level of appreciation for

the sort of rules of that are created in that world. Yeah. I don't

know. Like, I don't mind the idea that they're using the skeleton, but I don't

think that they went hard enough into like the supernatural horror edge that they were

hinting at. I think they just wanted to have an excuse to have the Mechagodzilla

rampage and grief the city for a little bit. And that's just the closest thing

that they could come up with. My problem is they abandoned it too fast.

I think they could have used it again, you know what I mean, in this

movie. Easily. Yeah. Whatever it is that he did, all it

did was make this Mecha G more sentient whenever it gets awoken

to its true nature. Because that's what we're talking about.

Once it gets awoken to its true nature and how it was designed as a

Godzilla, it starts griefing the city like Godzilla.

And I'm using that now for sure now because I like it. It sounds so

great. Griefing the city. It's just fucking great. It's concise

and to the point. I guess concise is to the point. Well, you wouldn't be

daring if concise and to the point weren't a double redundancy.

Yeah. Why use a couple words when many will do?

Why use two words when will sufficiently get across the point

you are validly trying to make? You know, me too.

All right. Or is there anything else that you want to talk about for the

movie or mention? I think we sung enough of the effects as they

were being shown up. And like I said, the main plot points thing that I

just. I think it just might have been able to be fleshed out a little

bit more. But this film's an hour and 28 minutes. So absolutely no real complaints

about it other than I just feel like we could have probably fleshed out a

little bit more of what's going on with Mechagodzilla becoming like, aware of

its nature. I like that idea a lot and I would have liked to have

had that more explored. But that's not to say that the movie does not satisfy

me and does not make me happy with what we do get. Because the redemption

arc of the female pilot running the Mecha G

by herself, I mean, that's gold. If you got to give me a human

interest story, at least put them in a giant mech and have them fight a

monster. Right. I mean, that's what makes Pacific Rim work so well for me.

Yeah, there you go. I was feeling a little

Pacific. Yeah. I do think. Yeah, I do think it's

this one. And then there's a 90s Godzilla versus

Mechagodzilla where the Kaijus have two brains that I mentioned that,

that. So I think that like the Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla fights

where the humans are in control and trying to, you know,

make a Mecha G actually attack Godzilla to protect the humans.

That's definitely where he drew a lot of inspiration from and changed it just

enough for his world to where, you know, those of us that are obsessed with

these kinds of things would recognize what it is that he's making references to and

realize the homage that it is. And not a complete stealing. He's not movie DJing

that shit. You know what I mean? He's not Tarantino ing it. He's actually doing

what movie fans do where he draws inspiration and kind of creates his own story

out of that same world and uses the rules that he knows work well for

him. Yeah. Which can be definitely appreciated. Yeah. There's a little side loaded

review of how much I love Pacific Rim. I even like the second one.

I'm not gonna lie. I enjoyed the second one too. I mean, giant fucking robots

battling giant fucking monsters. It's a no brainer. Of course Cort's gonna enjoy it.

All right, so why don't we move on then? What do you say? Yeah,

okay. On the pirate radio edit, we will have the hives with the song

hate to say I told you so. Also released like this film,

Godzilla against Mechagodzilla in 2002.

And when we come back, we'll have a story time from Darren once again.

Better, dude. Better. What could be better than him forgetting to

shut it off? Dude, he didn't forget to turn it off.

He forgot to initially turn it on when he meant

to record. So nothing got recorded at all. And because he

never starts the recording, I think the patch is working. I feel

like I am inside a warm marshmallow and the burns feel okay

now. Oh, I'm so glad that patch kicked in for you. For this man.

No, he definitely recorded things for his personal diary and

for his experimentation in algorithm refinement. We have a lot of stuff

to go through for sure. He just didn't record the stuff he intended to

record. Maybe it's the Dilaudid. But are you saying when he

meant to stop recording, it started, and when he meant to

start it, it stopped? Exactly. That's why the recorder had to be

programmed to say when it starts and stops with that creepy voice

of that lady from the BABS units. He still doesn't know that he recorded

all the stuff he intended not to, does he? Exactly. Here is the first

big file folder with all the silence truncated

out and actual sound and voice split into individual files.

So if you're ever wondering what it sounds like when you play the rolling stones

at 2x, I submit to you, ladies and gentlemen, the highs.

It's higher pitched, it's more snotty, it's more irritating.

And I'm here for it all fucking day.

I feel like that song is in a load screen in a

hockey video game I had. Oh, that makes sense.

Well, I'm just dying and I'm sure our audience is as well. I want to

know everything that the little man had to say about this Godzilla film when he

watched it with you and R. Story time.

Story time,

Story time. Just to set this up, he actually had

you taking notes for him while you were watching it together and wanted to

make sure that there were several things that were notated.

And so you have that information and you can kind of

tell me as it's happening in the movie for your story time. I just wanted

to let everybody know that's what we're gonna have happen in here. Yeah. Ye.

So like last time, he sort of noticed halfway through

why the purpose for which I was watching this. Because as

I said, and we'll say again, you know, watching a Godzilla movie

isn't out of the ordinary in the house and everything. And he

was around when I was checking,

you know, just making sure everything that everybody had going on

today was on the, you know, shared calendar so,

like, we could set up a time for you and I to get together.

So he started asking me when I was gonna watch it and

he wanted to make sure that I didn't watch it. He had two baseball games

this weekend. He wanted to make sure that it was

after that, although I don't know why he thought I'd be watching it at the

baseball field. Right. That is not the best environment to

watch any kind of movie, especially a Godzilla movie. But let's face it,

a baseball related sport that is being played, whether it's softball or

whatever, is not the best place to not have your eyes constantly on a goddamn

ball that's about to get struck. Exactly.

Simple enough. You know, we waited and we got it together last night and

then I had to wait because he didn't have his books together and he wanted

to, he wanted to look up the movie, get the stats, get the things that

he wanted to make sure that I paid attention to. Showing me pictures. He actually

took my phone and was taking pictures of the pages and

zooming in on things especially like the, the initial design

plan for Mechagodzilla and some of

the other stats. Especially a lot of stuff about the weapon, the weaponry.

So I specifically needed to write

down that Mechagodzilla is equipped with a type 87

668-680-millimeter multiple interlocking rockets

modified and that the type 0 railgun and

maser blade for close combat. Type 99 double

maser mouth cannon to manipulate Godzilla energy.

Oh, so he had it notated that it was a maser

blade. And we were wondering if that was maser fire the blade was putting in

there and see if we would have read those notes when we were supposed

to. We would have known for the audience. So your son was right in this

case, was he not? Yep. Like he said, in case you guys don't think of

it, this is what you need to have down. And I did tell him

that you, you do a lot of clips and you're a gigantic Godzilla fan.

And he said well good, it's in the clips. But we didn't play

the clips back live just to try and save some time for the recording to

know that and to actually point that out. Whenever I said it looked like the

same thing as the Mazer fire, but there we go. Yeah. He said, well,

I am not sure about him, but I know you would probably forget.

Man, your kid talks wicked smack, doesn't he?

Yeah, all day, all the time. Such your child.

Yeah, it's, you know, it's, it's that, you know, I'm, I'm not even mad.

I'm kind of Impressed? Sort of. Ron Burgundy answer.

And oh, when the chest armor opens

in Kyru slash Mechagodzilla. He was going back and forth trying

to figure out why they were calling it Cairo. Yeah. The most powerful

weapon, absolute zero. Consumes 40% of the

energy to freeze the target to absolute zero degrees and destroy

at a molecular level. Wasn't Was another thing that.

And the pay attention to when the eyes change from yellow to red because that

is when he goes into rogue rage mode and

will begin. Extra grief on the city outside of

human control. Extra grief on the city outside of control.

Outside of human control. Oh,

damn. If podcasting's still a thing about movies anyway, Podcasting about movies

is still a thing that people can do. I think he's got a career of

not making any money at this, but really loving doing it because, man, there's some

meticulous notations that he made sure of. Like I said, he's already a better G

fan than me because he has reference material that he wants to make sure that

we got this information for everybody. Oh, yeah. He suggested

I take it up upstairs with me. And I said I would take the notes

in his photographs and everything like that. I said I would probably bonk

my microphone or my computer trying to manipulate his

rather large books. Well, I'm so glad

that he's so dedicated in trying to make sure that whenever he's. You're on one

of these shows that you do a really good job.

Yep. Gotta help me with my homework.

Right? It's a little payback for all

the times that you've helped him already. Exactly.

That's way more fun than New Matt. That's awesome. So have we gotten through.

That's all of his notes. That's everything he wanted to make sure everybody knew that

you had written. Those were all the things he wanted to make sure.

Yep. Scrolling back through. Oh, he did want to

shout out the scientists because sometimes scientists don't get all the credit

that they deserve. There is Dr.

Akamatsu who is in robotics, Dr.

Yamada in microwaves, and Dr. Kano who

specializes in low temperature physics. All of that was in

that clip. I do remember it will be played. So. Yeah, but it was mentioned

in there. But a good scientist is worth repeating to kind of paraphrase how they

used to do credits about a good cast is worth repeating at the end.

So. Yeah, there we go. Yeah. A good scientist is always worth shouting out more

than once. I agree with him. And these folks did their job. I mean,

it effectively fought Godzilla, but who would have been able to foresee that when you

desecrate a Godzilla corpse, you find out things you didn't think were going to happen.

Sometimes dead is better.

Yeah. Now let me show you this kick ass trick that I learned in this

pet cemetery about your dead cat.

All right, man, I think we're ready to wrap this up. What do you think?

I think so. All right. We're going to go ahead and play the show Housekeeping.

And immediately following that on the pirate radio edit once again,

songs that were on the Billboard 100 in the same

year that this film was released of 2002. We've got the Flaming Lips

up next with the song do youo Realize Immediately following that if

you've decided you can't get enough of the show and would like. He still doesn't

know that he recorded all the stuff he intended not to, does he?

Exactly. Here is the first big file folder

with all the silence truncated out and actual sound and voice split

into individual files. All right. Here we go. I just

want to write one algorithm that will solve all my problems in one of my

companies for me. Why can't I do this? Why can't I see how to do

what I want to do? Otherwise this stupid, stupid baby mora

teddy was right to hate me. I can't even be good at faking being

good at saving something. Stupid ugly. No one loves me.

Stupid ugly. No one loves me. Why am I so dumb?

Why am I so dumb? Good writer. He. He really

is not stable enough to run an interdimensional communication and

travel conglomerate. I think it's time to divest our interests in this

place. Dude, that's handled. You're on this light duty now. Because we

have gone independent contractors. I used the living workers clause

Zeven made us all write up to get you out of the manufacturing

plant's medical facility and into this hospital which supposedly

increased your survivability from 33 to 100%. How much am I losing

here just to stay alive? Nothing. You get all of it now by having

your status switched from a full time vested employee to an independent

contractor. Now all of your options. Options and deferred bonuses will be paid

out in full. They think it's so they can claim no

direct employees were injured. And also it will be enough

to keep you silent about the incident. Really, it's just removing any

leverage that they had against you for what comes next. Now I'm feeling good

enough for this work. I thought that I just did the slightest adjustments

to increase the current in the culminator that it would make it more efficient.

Why is he up? Why are you so stupid? It's no wonder the drones

hate you. Everything I try to improve exposed. It's like I

just said, stupid joke. I would almost feel sad for him if he did not

knowingly cause the accident that burned me. Think about what you just said

again and really think about those words in the context of

a self made recording of the man admitting just that.

I'm pretty sure that might be my favorite Flaming Lips song and it's certainly the

most beautiful and accessible of their music.

Yeah, I'm not extremely familiar, even though I did see

them at Raya Fest. One year, I'm less familiar. They have a few

songs that I really really get into. A lot of the stoners I used to

hang out with in high school for obvious reasons, for anybody that can extrapolate data

from uncomplaining complete sentences, I kind of knew a little bit more about

the Flaming Lips because I knew somebody that was a big fan of them and

so if I wanted to have drugs they had, I had to hang out and

listen to the Flaming Lips.

Yep, sitting in the room waiting. Seth Rogen

in the movie. Oh for

goodness sakes. Well I don't know where to go to end that and I have

no idea how to properly try transition from the Flaming Lips in such a beautiful

song to Eminem and such a hateful song. Oh look, I just did it.

Well that's how we're going to end this episode, so enjoy Eminem with without me

while you kick the out of this week and make it your on the pirate

radio edit, think about what

you just said again and really think about those words in the context

of a self made recording of the man at admitting just

that. Oh yeah, he knowingly tampered with a machine that

caused injury and death and recorded himself saying

he did it. I don't want to get you too hopeful here, but there

are so many destroyed families. We can get just that recording too

and help a shitload. I still think this is just how ridiculous

our reality just is, but I have to admit this coincidence is hard to ignore

in its synchronicity. I really hope that this is the author thinking about

how to wrap it up for a happy ending to our sketches. You know,

if that really is how we all live and exist inside of a badly written

sketch from an even worse podcast that has no real talent or

actual effort behind it, I would say that this is the closest

to a happy ending that a sketch characters like us could Hope for. Yeah.

Hey, what's up? Hey. Not much, man. Is it sounding the same as last time?

Yeah, yeah, sounds good. Did you get my message on signal about how. Go right

ahead. Use your ac. I can eliminate the fan noise. It's a constant, steady drone

and it is the easiest thing for noise reduction to remove, so don't even worry

about it. Oh, okay. Cool. Yeah, I, I. Even if it gets through all the

gates that I have set up in my settings and then my actual physical gates

that I record to and all that kind of stuff, stuff at the worst case

scenario, I just find a part where you're not talking and I can hear that

fan noise, I can isolate it and remove it, and you're fine. Okay. Yeah,

I just, like, I would be okay. I, you know,

I came up recording in my hot garage and now I'm,

you know, in my finished attic type space.

Yeah. So I, if you were like, yeah, I, I, I.

Unless, sorry. No, it's. I know, I know that I am super,

super picky, recording in progress. But I also

have found ways to get around using fans and stuff like that. So that's not,

it's not like we're making an album here. Right. We're just making a podcast for

a hobby and, like, isolating your voice. You don't need to sacrifice to the

podcasting gods anymore. You've done your time. You know what I'm saying? Well, you know,

it's like going into somebody's house and asking if you want me to take my

shoes off. That's the polite thing. I get it. Yeah. But I'm absolutely 100%

telling you, no, be comfortable and turn that fan on. We're going to have some

fun. I'm explaining the show to you.

Who gives a about that? Hey, you know, you're helping me out.

It's not like you expect me to remember how to do it.

It's getting very difficult. You'd know me long enough to know that I either

remember everything perfectly or just. Yeah, it's either there or it's not.

And I'm like, he's not going to be. I, I know you well, you if

enough to know me. Explaining it is not going to offend him. He's just going

to be like, check. Got it. Remember all of that. You know what I mean?

Yep. Yeah. I do not feel condescended to. I'll tell you when I want you

to feel condescended to. Okay. Okay. When I condescend

you, you'll know. Or maybe you won't, because you don't.

Can't figure it out. Oh, message.

See now that'll make it.

Gotta catch my breath there. See, I was hitting in micro machines mode there for

a second. Like we're not in a rush, but I've done it so much that

I can't. That's how I show now, you know? You know? Yeah, I.

I'll. I'll try to stick with your rhythm. Keep your rhythm. You don't want to

throw it off for the random fill in. You want to keep it the way

the. The way you're traditionally wanting it to be. Yeah. You don't want

to be a fill in drummer for like Fleetwood Mac and go all Tom Lombardo

Slayer on yeah. While fun for you, the drummer

not good for Fleetwood Mac. Right. It's all fun and games until you get

off stage and they're like, why the did you play it that fast? Right.

I remember HR complaining about the drummer from the Bad Brains playing the song too

fast because he wanted to go hit on a girl. And that's why they ended

up being as fast as they were because the drummer would always rush them just

so he could go hit on girls. Oh, nice. I mean sometimes

that's just. That's just. There's so few times where drummers remember

they're in control. Thanks for setting that

up so well. That was beautiful. It's what I try to do.

Gotta be a good couch man. Okay. More Andy richter than Ed

McMahon, but. Yes, sir. I think this is the one where

I got criticized for not taking enough notes.

So I had to write down all the specifics. Like Mechagodzilla

is equipped with type 87680 millimeter multiple

interlocking rocket. Like I've got like a paragraph and a half.

You should tell him that I record the audio when they explain that stuff.

Next time if you do another one with me and see what he said.

I did. He did. He's like. Well, just in case he doesn't grab that clip,

it's like, dude, Dude. Yes. Okay, we're gonna save that for

the story time. That's. That's glorious. And I

want to know all of his notes anyway, so that's just great. Like I.

That's. That's. That's beautiful. All right, let's jump around here.

I need to scroll down and catch my breath. Jesus Christ. That was a

bit brisk sounding roar there. You can patch it now. You dumb. Can't talk.

I just wish I wasn't an allegory or more or less. And of what

happens to someone for working with assholes like Z Von. If you're an allegory,

what am I? You never seem to question how you have all the

answers and know just what to do and when to do it when shit goes

down. I think our author speaks through you, even though you don't know it or

believe that they do. I mean, you get the best dialogue. Because I am obsessed

with my grammar and sentence structure, I read up on all the manuals

and documentation just so I know everything I need to know to stay alive in

that hellscape. They call it a factory. That means your author's speaking through me.

You don't have to believe in them for them to believe. They need to write

about you, dude. You have to make it weird. So much for a happy ending.

The author plots in mysterious ways. The author is a stone writing

bad parody. Get some fucking sleep. We have a lot more recordings to get

out there. Spoken like a true mouthpiece character. So commanding.

Oh, off with that chosen voice bullshit and get some rest.

Oh, for goodness sakes. Well, I don't know where to go to end that.

And I have no idea how to properly transition from the Flaming Lips in such

a beautiful song to Eminem and such a hateful song. Oh, look, I just did

it. Well, that's how we're gonna end this episode. So enjoy Eminem with without me

while you kick the out of this week and make it your bitch on the

pirate radio edit. I'll spare you.

Oh, I used to listen to a lot of Eminem. I did too, until the

homophobia. And then once I realized how bad it was, I was like, nope,

no more. Recording stopped.
