We break down the new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire that dropped on Valentine's Day. We talk Jesus, Thunderdomes, Mighty Joe Young, semen, Bolsonaro, and of course the hidden spoilery stuff hidden in quick flashes (spoilery stuff is toward the end with a warning).

Previous Episode

Episode 82 ft. Pinko Snob: 28 Days Later (2002)

We are joined by Pinko Snob to discuss the pinnacle of pre-9/11 post-9/11 zombie films. Is this an anti-civilization film playing on concepts from Deleuze and Guattari to critique the state, patriarchy and capitalism? Or a film about loneliness and father issues?

Next Episode

Episode 83 ft. Liam Quane: Electoral Politics and the MonsterVerse (Or: Is Skar King Donald Trump?)

A few weeks ago, Liam shared his political readings of the MonsterVerse films on Twitter and it seemed to agitate quite a few Godzilla fans. But it piqued our interest, so we invited him on the show to hear him out!

We had a lot of fun talking with Liam about Godzilla (2014), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Godzilla vs Kong (2021), and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024). Liam argues that Godzilla x Kong is an example of what he calls "Mask Off Cinema," a movement informed by the political motivations of filmmakers during the Trump Era, of which we are still a part.
