Why So Sidious? A Nerd Podcast
12/21/23 • 63 min
Join the crew AND ANDY from The Galactic Core Podcast, as we dive into the Japanese film that is taking the world by storm, Godzilla Minus One!
We start our cold open off by discussing what movies in fandom come to mind during the holiday season, and what movie watching traditions we have during Christmas!
Then we get into the recently dropped trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and the Apple+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
After we get that out of the way, we bask in the awesomeness that Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One ended up being...truly a memorable cinematic experience!
We discuss all of our favorite parts of the film, including the surprisingly well written human element of the story. We get into that and what makes that so special, along with the jaw-dropping cinematic shots that the movie also provided.
This was a cinematic experience that you NEED to go see for yourself!
We discuss all of this AND MORE!
