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 syll. 10 years. Man 10. 10 years. 10 years. Man 10 years. 10 years. 10. 10 years. 10 years. What is the most likely way humanity will be wiped out? Maybe it's something. Or us. Although the way the world ends might. Be because of you. And if this is the case, you. Wouldn'T have any control over it. The global temperature rise underscores a chilling reality. Our planet is trying to tell us. Something, but we don't seem to be listening.
A recent study has suggested that one. Third of annual deaths due to heat. Are directly related to global warming. On top of the initial flash of thermonuclear light, which is 180 million degrees, which catches every everything on fire in a nine mile diameter radius. On top of the bulldozing effect of the wind and all the buildings coming down, and more fires igniting more fires on top of the radiation if they happen to have survived
poisoning people to death. On top of all that, each one of these fires creates a mega fire that is a hundred or more square miles. Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers. On Cinema PsyOps a breathtaking scientific revolution is taking place. Biotechnology has been progressing at stunning speed, giving us the tools to eventually gain control over biology.
Solving the deadliest diseases while also creating viruses more dangerous than nuclear bombs, able to devastate humanity. It's man returning to the most primal, violent state as people fight over the tiny resources that remain. What if the world we live in. Is just a dream or a simulation? Whether it's a dream or some advanced computer game you are playing right now. When it ends, you would be what. Causes the end of the world. Please do us all a favor. Continue dreaming
or playing this game of life. Because when you wake up or unplug, there's a chance the rest of us. Will be blaked out of existence. Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on Cinema syn. 10 years. 10 years. Hello and welcome to the 501st consecutive week of
Cinema Psyops. I'm your host, Cort, the guy that's really stoked to be Talking about Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla from 1974 and really upset that this wasn't the movie that he got to cover as my co host, Matt. You just shave all the best shit for yourself, don't you? I pulled a selfish on Godzilla films. I feel like I've earned it after dealing with. You have earned it. This is your thing. Yeah, yeah. This is your big
thing. Yeah. So, yeah, ye. If we're doing like a comedic tour de force, which we've been talking about doing in the future, I mean, yeah, you're going to get to pull more selfishness on that. Yes, I will. That's a fact. If you ever allow me to do Star Wars. Hey, I'm not keeping you from covering Star Wars. We're just not doing it on this show. No, that's what I was talking about, though. All right. Because you have no initiative on your own unless someone carries you all the way
through for everything, right? Pretty much, yeah. All my initiative is going to just try and fucking survive. Just America's guest. Pretty much just. That's all I want. The Ed McMahon of podcasting, ladies and gentlemen, Matt Sighop. Just carry me to success and I'll be all right. He'll point at that and go, yes, sir. And then Publishers Clearinghouse is next. And Star Search. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit of both. He was doing both. Yeah. That's fair. We are already off
the fucking rails. What a what show we've got for everybody? This. Oh, yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ. All right, so Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. Once again. They come back, 1974, and this is supposed to be the last one. So they throw a lot of money at it. They try and really do something special with it, and then they immediately go, hey, that made more money than we thought when we threw money at it. Let's make a sequel. Lord, it's like a band. It's like every time the who said they were
going to retire. It's our last tour. That a tour makes a lot of money. That was a lot of money. So as we kind of were discussing a little bit here with these films, we were coming up on the end of the era and these two films represent the end. This one was supposed to be the end. And then they move on and do another one. Sort of like, destroy all monsters. All Monsters attack. We already had that kind of scenario. Now I am definitely pulling the selfish and taking
the destroy all monsters of the two. Freely admit that. Yeah. And leaving you with the all monsters attack. But as of next week's episode, the ending of next week's episode, we are done with the show era. It's over with. Oh, man. So we'll be into the Heisei era, which is the 1980s
Godzilla. And that's when things start getting really gruesome and gory and they really start going overboard and then they spend some more money on the effects and things really start to build in the spectacle from here, from these two weeks. I just wanted to mention. Yeah, now we got a little bit of spectacle in both of these films. Absolutely. Mine probably a little more so than yours, because once again, you got the all monsters attacked
and my destroy all monsters. That's just how it works. That's just. That's how life goes. Yeah. But I can't wait to revel in the fighting and the goriness and then just plain strange things that occur in Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. Yeah. This is one of my favorites from this era, for sure. This specific film is one of my favorites from this era. I really do enjoy Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla for obvious reasons. Yeah. We've already seen
where Kong had to take on a mechanical version of himself. And that was a really interesting idea. And I would submit to you that Toho took that idea and ran with it with this Mechagodzilla. In a way that's funny. Mechagodzilla is the far more famous Mecha Mech Robot Kaiju. Godzilla has taken the world by storm. I would argue that Godzilla is actually more renowned than Kong at this point, even though I would think so influenced by Kong. Therefore, Mecha G is going to be bigger than
Mecca K. Yeah, yeah, agreed. That's just how it is. Yeah. And plus, the Mecha Kong was kind of derpy and silly and the whole movie series for that idea where they took it from. The Rankin and Basque, like, cartoon made it very cartoony and very corny. It was still an enjoyable film, but it was just doomed to never be as memorable as Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla because this film has got epic baked into its DNA, for sure.
It's really. Yeah. And as a matter of fact, I don't want to beat around the bush talking about it anymore. I'm ready to actually get into covering Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. So let's take the break now. We're going to play the Legion Patreon ad and immediately following that on the pirate radio edit as we've been doing all along. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla was released in 1974, so all songs also released in 1974. So up first will be
Queen with Seven Seas of Rai immediately following this. This'll keep it quiet. Oh, hi there. It was later discovered that the nature of perceived reality itself had broken down, and characters thought to have been fictional would turn out to exist in the reality where they were only a story. The multiverse became saturated with writhe beings suffering existential crisis while confronting their creators who made them suffer
for the sake of entertainment. In this way, authors were now responsible for the realities that existed in the stories they told and the well being of the creations within it. As imagine, this did not go well for any version of Kourt and Matt. There is one known dimension where the podcast cinema Psyops exists, that every bit of this nonsense is made up as comedic relief sketch comedy. And Kourt and Matt are nothing more than two failed entertainers who made up nonsensical sketches to
draw people into their lame attempt at a podcast. Being confronted by the writhing versions of the characters proved to be a bit much for the dim wit to dipshits. Hey, which one of you sadistic bastards thought my lifetime of misery would be great for your Chuck a fuck giggle going on in your podcast? Hey, Shabir needed a partner in crime. And a life for me to act. Out sketches with Cort. Don't worry about it. And I suppose this means Cort thought up my
miserable excuse for a lifetime of suffering as well. And Sandy Shore's too. You were a satire character attacking bullshit self help gurus. I am not a fucking self help guru or bullshit. I know exactly who the fuck you are. You two bit James, Arthur, Ray. Every fucking ayahuasca you vomited up, I mixed and put in your fucking stomach every piece of Shandy Shore's ex Matt and I thought up your bullshit rhetoric about Soul Eagles is a direct mockery of people exactly like you. In my fucking
reality. Those awful things you did to my sweet Millicent and making me closeted at a self medicated rank was all just the butt of some sick jokes. Why would you do that to me? We were inspired by real life where someone we knew was closeted and fixated on a co worker and blew up his life just like you. Wait, that's what this was? Elbow me, Cort. So my suffering is a variation on someone else's suffering so you can make your jokes about me. Why would you do that?
Wha. Dan, use your screaming pillow for me. The adults are trying to talk here, man. Nobody harmonizes Like Queen? No, man, nobody. At least in the rock and roll world. I could take arguments from other styles of music that popped possibly has better harmonization than Queen. I won't argue that. But my God, man, in fucking rock and roll, I think Queen is it. Yeah, I agree. Well, enough talk about Queen. Let's talk about the king of all monsters with Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. Yes.
All right. From 1974. The first third of the film starts with a brief credit of the production company and starts right off the bat with Anguirus on a snow covered rock formation singing
the song of his people like a lonely cat into the void. When the film cuts to some strange lightning effect coming from a nearby mountainside, this blinding strange lighting effect coming from a nearby mountainside, this blinding light fades and random explosions and fireworks style explosions begin erupting from the mountain that then flows with lava and appears to be some type of volcanic eruption that may have been triggered by these strange explosions and
the light. I'm not saying it's aliens, but Aliens. Anyway, the kanji for Godzilla and Mechagodzilla flash and clash in an animated title sequence before resting and becoming the title card on screen. And I popped for that when it happened. I'm not ashamed to admit it. They kill all momentum of that opening with a pastoral greeting card montage opening credit sequence that takes away all of the yaz we just had in that dramatic monster opening. Of course. What the,
guys? I don't know, man. It was so weird. The credits end and we are then subjected to a musical performance of singing that is interrupted by a vision of stock footage destruction that causes the vocalist to collapse and that causes people to use their talkie holes. And that is the start of our first. What's wrong? You all right? What's the matter? Are you okay? Mommy. Mommy. Oh, Grandfather. What's the matter with you, my child? A monster. A monster
will set fire to the. City and trample on the people who try to run away. A monster. Then the old man and the girl are descendants of the royal family of Izumi. You're well informed, brother. I ought to know. I've been working on the marine exhibit for a year. I'm almost an Okinawan by now. Anyway, her prediction scares me. This is the entrance to the cave. I won't go inside with it. I've got some work to do. All right. Thank you.
See ya. The clip ends in a rather lengthy padded out sequence of inarguably beautiful caverns that lasts for what feels like forever. They Then show. Our would be hero notices the shiny in the floor of the cave and picks up a very luminescent hexagon like shape of metal. I'm not saying it's aliens, but. Aliens? But that might not be from this world. They cut from this. Go ahead. That's an alien. Jesus. They cut from this to a jeep on the move.
What might be a construction site. A dude in a hard hat gets out of the jeep and that opens some human talkie holes. And becomes our second. Very good. Hey, Shimizu. Shimizu. Oh, we've been waiting for you. What's up? We're gonna cover the key. Okay. Here it is. Why don't you give up? I told you to keep up. The investigation is over. Hey. Hey. Miss. You can't come in here. Stay back. Hey you. I told you report is not allowed. Stay back. The.
What's so funny? Because I'm the investigator from the archaeology department of the Shuri University. You are? Imagine the ancient people of Okinawa painted this mural. Are you sure? Yes. This part here is a mountain floating in the sky. There are two suns. I wonder what this could mean. I don't understand. Could be demons. It looks like a prophecy of some sort. A prophecy? Come and look at this. This one looks like one of them. You know what? It probably the guardian of the izumis.
He's called King Cesar. King Cesar? There's a legend among the Izumis. It's handed down by tradition. Long ago, when people from the mainland came to conquer Okinawa, a huge brown monster appeared and saved the royal family of the Izumis. The monster's name was King Cesar. Went like N appears above the clouds. A monster will destroy the world. They cut from that translation to a doorknob and a sneaky shady looking fucker comes creeping out to be greeted by a 1970s version of Neo
from the Matrix. Creeping around the corner to spy in on the translating lady and then make sure to flash his ring that looks kinda like that special metal from the cave, but with a black stone of some sort laid into it. I'm not sure why they're having him flash the ring, but it's dude's getting. Real flashy around here. Real fucking flashy. They just show like a light flash on his ring
to like try and symbolize that it might be from the same metal. Or that this 1970s Japanese version of Neo from the Matrix is special in some way. I'm not sure why they do it. We should start wearing pinky rings. Remember men used to do that? All the time. You, me. We should bring that back. They cut from that to an airport, complete with screechy takeoff noises of airplanes. Then they cut to the interior of the plane.
When a traveling man in a pink shirt and pink like trimmed heather style jacket runs into the translator lady who is just looking cute as a button in her little traveling outfit and hat. She stops him for some taki hole. Opening action in our third clip. Mr. Shimizu. Hi. Going to Tokyo too? It's my first vacation in years. How about you? I'm taking this. I've deciphered the wall paintings, but I can't solve the mystery of the statue. So I'll ask Professor Wagura of Tokyo University for help.
Professor Wagura? I've heard of him. Isn't the professor a famous archaeologist? Yes, he's the same. And who are you? I'm a freelance reporter. But you could call me a scandal Hunter. Well, let me explain. I'm interested in the statue you found too. If I can get a scoop, I'll make a lot of money. So I hope you'll help me. What is it? The clouds look just like a black mountain. Yes. When a black mountain appears above the clouds, a huge monster will come forth and try to destroy the world.
It's from the prophecy on the mural. Mural? The prophecy continues something like this. But when the red moon sets and the sun rises west, two monsters will appear to save the people. A monster? A monster will set fire to the city and trample on the people who. Try to run away. Thank you for bringing me from the airport. I'm grateful. There you are. Hey there. You're not invited. Hold it. Ah, Kazuki. Welcome home. Hello. I brought a guest for you. Wow.
Oh, you're mean. You should have told me that. Professor Wagara. Where's your uncle? So sorry. I couldn't resist making fun of you. You should be ashamed. By the way, where's my psycho? Seems that he found a strange piece of metal in Giokusen Cave on Okinawa. He took it to Professor Miyajima. This material can only be space titanium. Space titanium? You mean it's from outer space? Mm. Great. Every day for the last 10 years days. Right, Father.
Earthquakes continue to be in the news today. A slight tremor, second magnitude occurred near Cape Namura, Hokkaido. The center has moved south towards TOU and it's continuing in a southward direction. The cause of this moving epicenter is still unknown. There are those that say a huge living being is moving underground. Let's see. It's difficult to read, but I think it's rather familiar. Professor, you'd better get some sleep now. No, I'm all right. Say, would you give me some coffee? Sure.
Make it strong. Yes. I want the statue. This starts a James Bond man of international action sequence of men fighting and struggling for possession of a gun while everyone else flees in multiple directions out of the room. Flee. Flee. Everyone flee. At one point, the creeper dude beats the secret agent wannab dude down and starts trying to smother him to death with a pillow after punching him in the chest and throat to make
it hard for him to breathe. Death by pillow suffocation adds insult to injury to the tarnishing of an international man of action's reputation. So let's hope our would be hero can do something about this before he's killed by a pillow. Yeah. That pillow suffocation death seems likely as the bad guy pummels the would be hero some more. Until a leg scissor takeover over kick out frees our agent hero.
He then goes on the offensive hardcore, only to be subdued and given the iron claw as the older traditionally dressed gentleman picks up the gun on the floor and points it in the most apprehensive and least threatening way imaginable. Yet it still somehow sends that bad guy running as he iron claw slams the agent hero into the gun wielder to heroically flee and run away. Heroically flee.
Even if you're fleeing, it can be heroic. Yeah. I'm trying to name wrestling maneuvers that I think they're doing as close as possible. And I know for sure that was an iron claw that was subduing that guy. But I don't know if that's like. I mean, if you're doing. You're holding someone in an iron claw and then you toss them from it. Is that an iron claw toss? Is that the way to call it? Yeah, there you go. That's the iron claw. Yeah. And then see iron claw toss then, right? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. To his credit, our would be man of action shakes off an iron claw toss like he is Rick fucking Flair in his heyday. And he springs to his feet in hot pursuit in the hopes to find the fleeing bad guy. He turns up nothing, is greeted on the street by the other folks from the clip. And then the 1970s Neo of the film walks into frame to observe them from a distance and be awfully fucking mysterious. Whoa. They cut from that to a statue being held
by the translation lady with fast zooms in and out. And Then back to 1970s Neo lighting up a cigarette and clearly wanting that statue. They cut from that to more exploding mountain footage with a strange object that floated flies up out of these explosions. It just looks like a giant ball of rock, but that's what it's supposed to be is a strange flying object. Yeah, yeah, but it's just. It's. It's. It's aliens. It might be aliens.
I'm not saying it. It's definitely aliens. It probably is, but I'm not saying right now that it is. It just might be. It's totally aliens. This weird rock like boulder flying object that may or may not be aliens crashes into an adjacent mountain and explodes, leaving behind what is obviously a false Godzilla. It's definitely not a real Godzilla, despite what is said in our fourth clip. Professor, It's Godzilla.
When a black mountain appears above the clouds, a huge monster will arrive to try and destroy the world. The ancient prophecy is coming true. I would never have guessed that the monster could be Godzilla. Uncle, I must be going. Where are you going? To Mount Fuji. I'm worried about the psycho on the professor. It's too dangerous. The area is a battlefield. Never mind. I'll get there somehow. Naomi. What's the matter? Grandfather, the monster.
As you prophesied, Godzilla has appeared on the mainland. Hey. Only one thing can defeat Godzilla. And that is our own King Caesar. But nobody can find the key to unlock the divine monster. Oh, Godzilla. Destroy the people of Japan who once tried to conquer the Izumi tribe. You will be the instrument of our revenge. Oh, Godzilla. Wow. He switches from being Team King Zar to King Godzilla real fast, doesn't he? Turns. Man, what a turncoat. Don't trust
him in a foxhole. If the fucked up and wrong roar is not obvious enough, the super smooth and metallic looking plates on his back should be obvious enough for you to know that that's definitely not Godzilla. He just. That is not Godzilla. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At the end of the clip, this Notzilla stomps through and I mean right the fuck through a nearby hotel like building. This enrages a tunneling Anguirus who attacks the Notzilla. And they cut to a dude who says this is not right
for Anguirus to attack what would be his friend? Because that guy's dumbass still doesn't get it. This is not Zilla. This is not Godzilla. This is the opposite of Godzill Mechazilla. They then cut back to Anguirus getting knocked down a hill, only to launch himself backwards with his spikes into Notzilla, sending Mysterious sparks flying off of it and revealing a patch of metal under a torn chunk of skin suit. This is clearly a mech that is wearing a Godzilla suit.
Yes, yes. This is a machine that is wearing. Wants to look like Godzilla, obviously. They charge at each other and brawl for a patch with some punches traded for bites and spikes before Mechagodzilla in a Notzilla suit kicks Anguirus a distance away, grabs his tail and uses it to whip him into the air and smack him right back down to the ground over and over again. This is multiple times. You start to really feel bad for Anguirus at a certain point. Right? You're just
like, all right, that's probably enough. He finally stops this by kicking him on the way down on that last drop. Which leaves him sprawled out and looking like a fucking corpse after that. The Notzilla then charges in and grabs a hold of Anguirus mouth, prying it open and ripping his jaw wide open, tearing the flesh complete with a tempera paint looking blood spurting all over not Zilla's hands as this is happening. That was pretty gruesome and unexpected the first time you
watched it. Yeah. This is a lot bloodier than most Kaiju movies that we get. After the jaw rips, a defeated but still thankfully alive Anguirus painfully flees with increasing speed away from a gloating Notzilla who celebrates his way off screen in the opposite direction. Direction they cut from that to the human agent story where the guy fools himself into thinking he is going to clear the road of fallen trees and telephone poles as a sort of comedic moment that once again falls flat.
He basically picks up a smaller branch and thinks he's got it. Then he moves into like a telephone pole that is clearly too heavy for one person to lift. And yet he still attempts it. And then he is basically shamed into realizing he's not nearly as strong as he thinks. And it's not funny. It's just boring. And why even throw that in? This isn't funny. It isn't fun. He noticed. Notices and retrieves some special metal. And that sparks a bunch of science talky hole action in our fifth
clip. Nerds. I am positive it's the same metal as the piece Masaiko found in Okinawa. This is space titanium. You're right. It is the same metal. Masaiko. Yes? I want you to take me to the cave one of these days. Sure. I want to get a closer look at Godzilla. Like to come along. Of course. We'd be glad to come with you. That's a strange pipe. Hmm, Yes. I made it by myself. The bowl's metal includes astronachron. If you separate it in this way, magnetic waves will develop that
destroy the positive and negative electrodes. Oh, come here. Look at this. See the effect that it creates? Now it's a powerful pipe. They cut from this to not Zilla using his Mecha laser beam to pretend to be atomic breath while it roasts a factory district. They use the technique of filming up at the suit with a lighting and fire and smoke all around it in that metal as fuck fashion that works so well in Godzilla vs Gigan. It looks great on this Notzilla. And that leads to
the end of the first third of the film. So we are already one third of the way through the film. Yeah, we got special metals now. It's nice. The special metal pipe that is in no way a plot device. No, it's not. What are you talking about? Why would they spend so much time explaining how it builds up magnetic waves and then have it demonstrated that it causes problems to electronic equipment if it wasn't a plot device? It's not. It's a
special metal. I mean, I don't get what your problem is with special metal. Sorry, I prefer my metal to be standard. Well, this is special, so you just gotta deal with that. Deal with the special metal you're dealt. Not the. Not the standard metal you are craving. Yeah, right. That's. That's right. Don't know. Don't know what your problem is, Cort. Sometimes you just. You just don't get it. I don't think. Well, let's just move on to the second act of the film.
What do you think? Yeah, good idea. All right, so the second act of the film starts with the rampage of Not Zen being interrupted by the sudden emergence from underground of the one and only true Godzilla. I have no idea how he was able to do this other than that whole hollow earth theory story from the legendary universe. Maybe, but for some reason, Godzilla just comes up out of the goddamn ground. And we just have to accept that because that's what we just saw. Yeah, well, we live in
a hollow earth. You know that, right? Just go with it. It looked cool. Just. Just go. Yeah, it's. It's. We live in a Hollow earth. I don't know why people don't get that. Notzilla blows up a factory near the real big G. And then it cuts to an obvious bunch of fuckers and our sixth clip. I didn't expect the real Godzilla to appear so soon. The Earth people must be astonished.
The pair of Godzillas fight as the humans arrive. To be in the frame with forced perspective to show the scale of the explosions in danger and draw attention from the actual fun explosions and Kaiju fighting that we should be seeing instead of looking at the people in the mat lines. What's wrong with looking at those people? What'd they do to you? I don't know. I'm just really into the monster suit fighting more than anything. That's true. Yeah. People. Who needs them? We're here for
the. We're here for the monsters. People will always let you down and disappoint you. Godzilla in Kaiju suits will always be awesome. Our people. Are they the real monsters? Yes. That's the whole point. All right. That's the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So the real Godzilla smashes a chunk of skin off of the Mechagodzilla. And that causes spontaneous mansplaining, expository dialogue. In our seventh clip. No, I get it. The one that came out of Mount Fuji. He is a
cyborg. Cyborg? It is made out of the space metal. You could call it a Mechagodzilla. That's it. And queers have come out to call for Godzilla. They then show Godzilla atomic blast, the Mechagodzilla setting off tons of explosions. They cut from that to the obvious evil alien leader. And our eighth clip. Damn Godzilla. You're mistaken if you think your powers are a match for Mechagodzilla. Pretty much all dialogue, even if it's just just one line, has been a clip in this film.
Because that's how I'm rolling. I mean, you're doing great. You're doing the Lord's work around here. The evil alien leader dude flips a switch on his control console and a Mechagodzilla skin shedding sequence begins where we get the reveal of the first full Mechagodzilla in all of its cybernetic glory. Mechagodzilla. Yes. I think Mechagodzilla looks awesome. This particular Mechagodzilla suit is really well crafted. Absolutely. It looks terrific. This is good stuff.
Mechagodzilla and Godzill charge in for a fight. Big G takes a hit and MG does a laser I beam blast that is met with Godzilla's atomic breath in an energy blast standoff that explodes on both Big G and Mecha G, sending them both reeling in with equivalent malfunction and or damage for the matching of the Titans. That Explosion put them both on their ass and fucked them both up whenever that energy blast went off at each other. That was pretty fucking yeah. Right? Yeah.
Blood bubbles up. That's good stuff. Blood bubbles up from the water where Godzilla lands. And Mechagodzilla is down for the count and twitching with sparks everywhere and a bunch of different noises and explosions. They cut from that to our ninth clip. Chief. Mechagodzilla's head control's out of order. We can't continue the operation. Damn it. We'll have to postpone our attack on Tokyo. Bring Mechagodzilla back to the base for repairs. Sir.
The first thing in the morning we'll fly to walking hour. Yeah. I'm sure. The Mechagodzilla is being remotely controlled by spacemen. The space metal is the evidence. I have a feeling we'll find the key to them in Jocusen Cave. Chief. Repairs are going to take a long time. Chief. If we lose too much time, headquarters will discover our mistake. Don't worry about it. We use an Earth man that knows space technology. I got it.
Now. These tattooed characters here are an example of the ancient type of hieroglyphic writing used thousands of years ago by the Izumi royal family. They tell us where Kingsis are sleeping. What does it say? When the sun rises in the west. Then place this statue on the sacred shrine above the gate of Izumi Castle. The sacred shrine of Izumi Castle? That's strange. When the red moon sets and the sun rises in the west, two monsters will arrive to save the people.
That's the prophecy on the mural. Right? The sun rises in the west. That's impossible. What could it mean? Tell Agent Number one to steal the statue of King Caesar as soon as possible. Now that they've solved the puzzle of the statue, the monster could wake up anytime with be in trouble. If King Cesar brings other monsters to life. The spaceman will never guess. We're taking the Carl Queen to Okinawa around him. I see. We're outsmarting him this time. Ah. Hey look. Is it
much farther? Straight ahead. Eco watching step now. Right. We have been waiting for you, Professor. What's this? Who are you? Commander for conquest of Earth from the third planet of the black hole. Outer space. So I was right. You are spaceman. I admire your deductive processes. This use Mechagodzilla is our ultimate weapon to conquer Earth. But it said controls have gone out of order. Unless we repair it quickly, our schedule of conquest will be delayed.
So we thought you'd Give us the use of the expertise that succeeded in winning you the Nobel prize. I refuse. Dr. Miyajima. Mechagodzilla is a cyborg that our scientists created after careful study of the original Godzilla. Does it make your mouth water? I think you'll agree that it's an interesting object. Okay. What is it? Just stay where you are. Oh. Father. E. Father. Where are you taking her? What is this? The execution room? Professor. Now you still have time to save them.
Wonder how Professor M is doing? I hope they find clues for mystery. Is there something? Yeah. I think someone's watching us. You sure? What's the matter? I thought I heard Godzilla just now. I don't hear anything. You're right. But I can swear that I did hear it. They cut from this to a storm on an island with Big G defiantly roaring at the sky and the lightning striking all around around him. A real powering up kind of a moment happens as Godzilla takes lightning strike after lightning
strike directly into his body. And it is electrically charging him in some way to the point that sparks are flying off of his body when he walks away. They cut from this awesome display of sparking. It's a real shocker. They cut from this awesome display of sparking explosions and Kaiju badassery to humans from. For some fucking stupid reason as we are on a boat with the bad henchman dude lurking in a hallway and breaking into the room of the translation lady
to steal the statue she has. That has something to do with King Caesar. Because it turns the tide somehow in this fight so that Mecha G can defeat the earth and Godzilla whenever he doesn't have the second monster. I guess that's how it works. The henchman takes out the Shiza statue. And that is the type of. It's sort of like a lion almost. But what that. What that creature is is known as a Shiza. And that's the statue of it. It's actually originates in China but
it was in part of Okinawan culture as well. And so that's how they're kind of tying it all together with Japan and Okinawa. And you know, the defender that the bad things that happened to Okinawa and blah blah blah that they were talking about earlier. That all ties to the sieges. She's a statue in like a historical context that I don't fully understand. I just wanted to point
out. Yeah. Anyway. The henchman takes out that Shiza statue to admire it and then is immediately jumped by the would be man of action agent guy. They scuffle. The henchman Does a nice head scissors takeover of the Action Man. At one point in the scuffle, the Action man responds by breaking that hold of that head scissors takeover and then placing the thug into a cross faced chicken wing submission and choke. He begins crossface chicken wing. Crossface chicken
wing. That's what he did. Yeah, he did. He did. He pulled one arm back for the chicken wing and then he did the crossface chokehold. That's how Bob Bagman won his last WWF title against Bret Hart. Crossfades chicken wing. All right. So he begins to interrogate him in that crossfades chicken wing and the henchman goes full thug life and takes out a dagger from his boot and slashes the Action Man's hand, breaking free from that hold. That's a foreign
object if I've ever seen one. In a fight, that is. That would be an immediate disqualification. They then play a round of Stabby Slashy as the thug lunges with the knife, pressing his advantage. Our action agent heroically dives onto a bed and retrieves a loose assassination pistol, firing a shot into the henchman's face, sending him back against the wall, sliding down to a shelf or bench that was close to the floor, clutching the wound in his face.
After he settles into a still position, his face half transforms through a stop motion cross dissolve into a simian ape like look as he grunts and snorts during the whole process, the hench ape seizes the opportunity of the hench ape. I love it. Seizes opportunity of the action agent being clearly too horrified to move, and snatches up the Shiza statue and takes off across the outer deck of the ship. With the action man in pursuit, the hench ape tosses multiple lightweight folding lawn chairs
at the agent and continues this up at a staircase. When one of these lightweight folding lawn chairs actually gets launched at him and knocks him down the staircase. These things are made out of aluminum. I mean, come on, man, really, what. Are we doing around here? They cut to the translation lady. Special metal. You don't know. So you don't know. You don't know about special metal. Aluminum's not special, it's just. Just metal. It's special.
They cut to the translation lady waking up and noticing someone had rummaged through her shit. And then immediately cut from that to the action man lurking around the boat looking for the handshape. The hand shape somehow gets the drop on the action man and gets the gun, but is shot by a mysterious gun person hidden from view off to the side. And the lady translator walks into Frame and starts talking with that Takihole. So that is our 10th Cl. Kazuki.
The statue's gone. Somebody must have stolen it. I was chasing the thief. He went overboard. Was the statue with him? I'm worried about the way he fell. Why's that? I think somebody shot him. Oh, you're hurt. Hey. On a beautiful night like this, you should talk about love. Here. Thank you very much. Captain. You said that it was important, so I locked it in the safe. Sorry to have trouble. It's nothing. How was the trip?
Wonderful. Glad you liked it. I'm sure you will enjoy your holiday trip in a. You've been making a fool of me. The stone statue was a fake. But friends don't know. Enemies won't know. Well, Mr. Masaiko? Shimizu hasn't returned for several days now. Hasn't returned? No. What about Dr. Miyajima and his daughter? Yes. He said he might not be able to come back for a couple of days. That was the last time I saw him. We are very worried about them both.
That's so. The clip ends with the translator lady looking out of her balcony and being spied on by a creeper on the ground. And then it cuts to the action agent driving back to the caverns to snoop around. It cuts from that to the evil ape aliens in Egger suits and our 11th clip. You're finished already? I thank you. Now come down here, please. Mechagodzilla will start action at six in the morning. Drink to the return of Mechagodzilla and to our success. Keep your promise.
Release my daughter and the young man at once. Why, of course, Doctor. I'll do it immediately. Please. Pleasure, Father. Hiko. Masaiko. Enjoy yourselves. This will be the last night you will have. Professor. I'm all right. I'm glad you're alive. We'll help you. Get over here. They're trying to scold us to death. They cut from that to the action man snooping around the caverns when he finds the professor's plot device. I mean. Magnetic wave generating
pipe for tobacco. Yeah. But you know. It's for his wacky tobacco. It's a special metal pipe for. Special metal. I don't know what your problem is. It's a plot device. You'll see. It's not. No. It says metal. It's special. You. You're. You're jaded with all your plot devices. All right. Anyway. The magnetic wave generating pipe for tobacco or wacky tobacco is found on the cavern floor. He is then caught snooping around after finding that special magnetic wave generating pipe in our coffee.
That's right. Who are you? The spaceman. Where's my brother and the professor? Where are they? You'll see them soon. Rather, they are corpses. Just who are you? I am an Interpol agent. Anbara. You've been following me? Yes. Six months ago, they came to our attention. We threw out a net to find the truth. And then you got caught in the net. I've been following you ever since. And that's all there is to the story. On your feet. You'll lead us to your secret base. And don't try any tricks.
It's so hot. I'm dying. Don't give up. Open it. The clip ends with the professor and his progeny being killed by having some type of gas pumped into the cell holding them. That felt really creepy to watch. Yeah, right. They are rescued by the 1970s Neo Interpol agent and the action agent in conjunction in our 13th clip. Now move. Are you all right? I'll turn it off. Masaiko. Brother. Are you all right? Shimizu. I'm glad you're alive. Hurry. We gotta get out of here. Hold it. No one move.
Reach for the sky. Make it quick. Get down. Come on. Come on. Hurry. Okay, let's move. Move it. We gotta get out of here. Come on. That's it. We'll be all right. I have my car parked outside. Goodbye. Stupid earthman. Come on. Hold it. Quick thinking. That makes three times you've saved my life. Three times. You saved me on the boat, too, didn't you? Do you notice the color of the moon? A red moon. When the red moon set, the prophecies are coming true, one after another.
Shimizu. I'm going to go back inside and take care of them. Those bastards. You go to Izumi Castle. Right. I want to go inside with you. Well, Brother. Okay with you? Okay. I am going with you. I must go. Even though I did it to save my daughter's life, I still cooperated with him. I have sold my soul to the devil. But you didn't have any choice that time. Don't risk your life again. No. I worked on the Mechagodzilla. I'm the only one that knows how to destroy it. Can't you see I'm
right? I understand now. By the way, Professor. Better take this with you. It might be of some help to you. Oh, that's good. Never thought I'd see this again. Thanks a lot. How's it going? Ask me later. Let's go. To the castle. Give the statue to me. If you don't hand it over, the. Old man and the girl will die. That bastard. It's your fault. You brought all this trouble upon us. If you had just kept your hands off the statue, we would never have had to suffer the way we have.
Hand it over now. Sego. Give it to him. I'm with Interpol tomorrow. Then you wait. No. Yep. We're partners. We're glad to see you. It's two minutes to six. Oh, look at that. The sun's rising. The sun's rising in the west. So that's it. When the sun rises in the west, it meant a mirage. The end of that clip is now two thirds of the film done with the run to the end starting from here. So we are two thirds of the
way in. Yeah, I wanted to talk about at this break here so that we're like, you know, we're about an hour into the film, and then it's all gonn fucking action and Kaiju stomping from here on out. The thing that I really wanted to kind of point out and talk about is the professor in this is the same guy who played Serizawa. I'll get into it a little bit more because he'll show up in your film as well. And I know that for a fact in your episode, because we've
already recorded it. I will talk more about that actor and some of the other Godzilla films that he's appeared in and all of that as well. I know, because again, I've already recorded it. What? Yeah, but I wanted to point it out here. The sort of older gentleman you should recognize. You would expect to see an eye patch on him. He's just a little great at the sides. And he is the professor who is regretting some of his choices in working with these ape evil alien types.
He's like, I can't believe it. Yeah, I get mixed up with all. These damn dirty apes. And yes, 100%, the aliens are apes in this. Because the Planet of the Apes movies are kicking and really popular right now. So they included him in this. I'm positive of that, too. Yeah, I almost figured that out as well. I think we're ready to move on to the run to
the end. What do you think? Let's do it. All right. So the run to the end starts with the statue being put into place, that Shiza statue that is supposed to somehow be used when the sun rises in the west to summon King Caesar. Anyway, the sun is conveniently rising in the west. And that causes lasers to start lasering away at the sleeping chamber of King Caesar, where the sun hits the Shiza statue's eyes just right and it reflects back. I don't know how it works, but it does.
And he is revealed and set literally loose in our 14th clip. Chief, they afraid King Caesar. Our men have failed to get the statue right. King Caesar will be our first victim. Get ready to launch the cyborg with this. Mecha G takes off and lands where King Cesar is sleeping. And Mecha G is ordered to heroically kill a sleeping King Caesar because it's. Heroic now to kill a sleepy man. With this threat on his life looming.
As Mecha G slowly lumbers on over the prophecy of how the fuck this Kaiju wakes up is fulfilled by an overlong musical number sequence sung in King Caesar's honor. Seriously, why that long of a sequence? This song goes on forever, right? There are a fair number of King Caesar haters out there. And I submit to you that it is this song that is basically the reason for it. They hate him because of that. And that's only it. Yeah, yeah, I'm almost positive that's what's going on. I like King Cesar.
I think he's kind of fun. I mean, yeah, he's a little fucking goofy, but you know what? He has some cultural historical significance on white he's based on. And I kind of like his powers. So, you know, fuck off. I like him. You're like, hey, don't fuck around with my love for King Cesar. The reason that I do love King Cesar is evident when he finally wakes up in our 15th clip. Megagodzilla. Destroy him quickly. I'm amazed that you're still alive, Professor. But you must not underestimate us.
After that short clip, Cesar is zapped by Mecha G's laser, only to absorb it in his right eye and fire it back supercharged 10 times over at Mecha G. That blast puts Mecha G on the back foot, so Zazar charges in with a slam attempt, only to be knocked backwards, bouncing right off the obviously super heavy metallic monstrosity.
The second attempt of attack, after absorbing and firing back an even stronger blast of the energy out of Mecha G's eyes, causes Mecha G more damage and sparks as Mecha G is taken down by the second body slam. So basically, I don't know how this is supposed to work, but King Caesar can absorb energy attacks that are very much like Mecha G's eye blast into one of his eyes and then he powers it up and it becomes even stronger when it exits the other
one. And I think, like I said, it goes into the right eye and it comes back out of the left eye. Supercharged. Yeah. And you can tell that it's. That all makes sense. Well, the reason that, the reason that it. You can tell that it's happening, that it's supercharged is a smaller beam that goes into the one eye and then it's a much wider, bigger beam that comes out of the other one. And when Mecha G fires an even more powerful one, Adam, it's like even bigger and
more obvious when it comes out of the other eye. And this, I mean, this is a supernatural being, first of all. So however any of this works, all you have to do is say supernatural and you have to press the I believe button because this thing is technically like a protection God of this island. So what's wrong with that? It's like Daimajin. It doesn't matter what his powers are because he's a fucking godlike thing. His powers are whatever they say is I believe.
I just believe Cort. They are both back upright. After that, damage that is done. And when they charge each other, King Caesar judo tosses Mecha G onto some buildings and pummels his prone opponent before being tossed off of him with a quick kick. They get vertical once again and Mecha G fires the eye lasers, but dodges the return shot from King Caesar this time. And then starts firing off missiles at King Caesar from his fingertips. These do some serious damage
and cause pain for King Caesar. So he hides behind a rock formation that Mecha G lasers into pieces with some weird, like, maser thing that comes out of his chest. And then he starts firing off more missiles at King Caesar from his fingertips. These do some damage and cause pain for King Caesar. Yeah, I'm assuming those would cause problems for King Caesar. Mecha G lasers into pieces and then shoots up King Cesar and kicks his prone opponent,
sending his limp body flying through the air. Some more talkie holes get opened up when they cut to the evil ape aliens Lair. In our 16th clip, Mechagodzilla seems to. Be fighting very well. Professor, I would like to thank you again for your cooperation. At the end of the clip, 1970s Neo gestures for the professor about his ring and the the professor is hip to whatever plan is going down.
And the film cuts back to the battle of King Caesar and Mecha G. The pair begin essentially street brawling as they pummel each other, with Mecha G trying to jam a hand down Cesar's throat for some reason. That's going to cause damage, I guess. Yeah, right. Mecha G ends up tossing King Cesar into a large canyon. With King Cesar subdued by the rocks piling in around him and holding them in place, Mecha G takes aim with intent to kill and turns
suddenly to camera with urgency. We then see the ocean nearby is bubbling up and there is electrical sparking mixed in with the boiling ocean as Godzilla emerges. And people explain that all to us in our 17. Godzilla is still alive. The other monster the ancient people said would appear must be Godzilla. So Godzilla is still alive. We'll have to teach it another lesson. Mechagodzilla beat Godzilla to death.
Not sure what artificial intelligence Mechagodzilla has to be able to take verbal commands like that and then just execute them as it sees fit. But it's clearly better than anything humans could write, so definitely there must be. Some sort of interface going on. At the end of the clip, the ring is being bent by 1970s Neo. And the professor takes out his plot device. I'm sorry, Matt. Special magnetic generating pipe for Smok tobacco or
marijuana. It's special. Special metal. And the film cuts from that special metal pipe being taken out by the professor to Big G climbing up the mountain and crossing into Roar. A challenge to Mechagodzilla. Big G goes right for the atomic breath attack as Mecha G takes flight to dodge it. He heroically takes flight to dodge it, by the way. Yeah, yeah. Of course. The atomic breath strikes where King Caesar seems trapped in the rocks
of the canyon thing he fell into. And Someh frees him. But Mecha G fires off an eye laser at Godzilla and the direct hit puts Big G on the back foot. Meanwhile, in the human padding of the story, the 1970s Neo is using his morphing metal ring to pick his handcuffs lock. And the professor is taking apart his plot device. I'm sorry. Special magnetic wave generating pipe for smoking tobacco and or marijuana. Yes, it's special. You got to stop this plot device. Plot armor. Shit. They cut back from
that to the monsters. And King Cesar gets back to his feet and on solid ground with Mecha G, who turns his head to face him, but leaves all of his missiles and front pointing at Godzilla, who roars a challenge. Somehow Mecha G coordinates firing his eye lasers at King Caesar and successfully hitting him in the body and nowhere near his eyes, while simultaneously lifting a foot to fire off TOW missiles. That's right. I said it. Tower missiles at Godzilla, sending both opponents to the ground with
damage. And explosions everywhere and looking fucking awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Big G pops back up, gets shot with more missiles and knocked back down. Pops up to have Mecha G spin his head and generate a protective field around itself that Big G hits with an atomic breath that is somehow deflected. Big G then charges into that shielding and pushes through with his claws, which then begins smoking, only to have the power of this deflection shield somehow toss
him backward. They cut from that to show 1970s Neo successfully picks the lock of his weirdly designed handcuffs and smiles as he does so. Boy, would you like to play poker with that guy? He has got no poker face at all. No poker face, man. The professor pulls apart the special pipe plot device and the film cuts back to a united King Caesar and Big G being struck by literally every weapon that Mecha G has being fired at them in succession over
and over again. Things are looking bleak, as they always do when we get a heel work afoot. But my God, the explosions, the firing off of all of this stuff, the fire everywhere that like results from this. This Kaiju suits getting caught on fire obviously during some of those shots before being put out with the guys walking around in there. All of that was fucking amazing. It was great shit, man.
Good, good battles. Mecha G takes to the air and repeatedly strikes Godzilla in the throat with his laser I beam, drawing out gushes of blood repeatedly in a super gruesome display. The message, I said this is the most, probably the most gruesome we've had to date of a Kaiju movie. The massive blood loss and repeated trauma of countless I beam shots subdue Godzilla as he is taken to the ground in the assault and remains still, causing looks of fear and shock on the faces of the human
story padding characters who are watching the battle. Mecha G flies over top of Big G firing multiple projectiles that deeply puncture and embed into G Godzilla's body. This damage sets off the Big G's healing factor and rage as he activates his special work for this movie and pushes out all of the projectiles with a dramatic pose. And then activates an electrical field around himself with explosive sparks firing off from his body. The film then shows a set of large metal power grid sized
electrical towers being drawn into Godzilla. And the apparent magnetism of Big G, I guess is what they are going with. Starts to pull the Mechagod Godzilla body back towards Big G. They explain how this is supposed to work so I don't have to in our 18th clip. What's wrong Mechagodzilla. So he's transformed himself into a magnetic force. See, that's all they needed. They said he transformed himself into a magnetic force. Yeah, See, it's. It's not plot device. It's just what's happening.
During the clip, the professor hands the special plot device to the 1970s Neo. And at. And at the end of the clip, we see Godzilla using his new powers of magnetism, I guess is what they're calling yes, to pull in the still attempting to fly away Mechagodzilla. There are gestures that Big G does with his arm movements somehow to control his magnetic pull over Mecha G. It doesn't matter. It just looks cool. I think they just wanted to give Godzilla the force.
I think so, yeah. They needed to give Godzilla a whole nother move. They spend a while on this and are really trying to sell that he now has this power that he can defeat Mecha G with. The evil aliens react to the landing and magnetic attachment of Mecha G to Big G in a very homoerotic way, I might add. In our 19th clip, rockets full throttle, retreat. When I give the signal, you throw them at both ends of the control console. Big G is almost lifted off the ground with Mecha G taking flight.
But Big G somehow forces Mecha G back to the ground and holds him there in place. While King Caesar takes running body slams into Mecha G, causing damage and sparks to fly with multiple strikes. Godzilla then puts Mecha G in a headlock and begins twisting the head of the metallic monstrosity around at the same time breaking gears and armored Shel and then ripping the entire goddamn head of Mecha G off in one motion. He breaks it back side to side,
twisting it and then pulls it right the fuck off. Absolutely amazing. Oh yeah, Good stuff. As I am recovering from that, they. Cut to the evil aliens having a post orgasm cigarette. They cut to the evil aliens and some dialogue in our 20th clip. I can't believe it. The magnificent machine Mechagodzilla has been defeated. It's dangerous. Let's get out. Wait a moment.
During the clip, the humans escape with a shootout and the use of the plot device pipe, destroying the console that controls Mecha G. All the evil aliens get shot up and killed by the 1970s Neo. The control console and Mecha G both start gloriously exploding in firework Toho style. At the end of the clip, the explosion propels Godzilla backward into the ocean with a slight attempt to make it seem he was also exploded until he pops back up out of the ocean, triumphant and looking healed
up and better than ever. They cut to a sequence of the entire facility of the evil guys and the whole island exploding. And then back to the main people of the story that are padding it out. And that is our 21st clip. My father. It's all all right. Your father has achieved a victory. At the end of the clip, Godzilla takes off into the ocean, and King Caesar goes back into his sleeping chamber cave and is buried by an explosion that drops a bunch
of rocks on him. Now, that explosion was supernatural. As soon as he gets back into his cave, he's like, fuck this. Does some kind of motion with his hand. There's an explosion above him, and then the rocks just mysteriously start piling up on top of him. But when the dust settles from that, the cliff he was buried in is exactly the same. Back to normal. All the rocks reformed around him. Very supernatural. Very cool. Yes, everything very cool. Everything very
supernatural. They cut from this to the statue being put back into the shrine that summons King Caesar. We have a bunch of talkie holes. And that is our final clip. Finally, the ancestors of the Izumi royal family. You can now sleep in peace after this. The film zooms in on a Shiza statue on an ancient arch, and they throw a little title card up that says the end. I don't really know what it says because I can't read the kanji, but it basically means roll credits. Cinema Silence. 10 years.
10 years. God damn. This film is insane with the action and the blood flying and just. Mechagodzilla is really intimidating and very much a threat in this. Yes, it's really, really well done. I don't think they needed to do the King Caesar to be a help for Godzilla. I think they. They could have done the magnetic thing, but they're trying to bring in new monsters just to sell more figures and things like that, you know? Yeah, well, yeah, more monsters is
more fun. Yeah. I will say this. I enjoy him teaming up with King Caesar to defeat opponents more than I enjoyed watching him team up with Jet Jaguar. Oh, I like King Caesar more than Jet Jaguar. That's just a personal preference. Listen, everyone's got one. Yeah. Much like assholes. I don't have a real problem with Jet Jaguar. I just wish that if they were going to do an Ultraman knockoff, they just
would have went whole hog. Instead of it being like a super sentient robot, it was actually a person in there that, you know, had the same kind of powers in the suit that would have been Kind of cool, you know, Even if they made it like the little kid, you know, that somehow got into the suit, even though he shouldn't have, but he actually control the suit like an adult would, you know. That would be cool, actually. Yeah, yeah. It'd be way better.
Yeah. I mean, just. Just various things that I would have personally enjoyed more. Again, I don't have a. With Jet Jaguar. Just not really my particular cup of tea. I think if he would have gone against a better opponent than Megalon, maybe, you know. But this Mechagodzilla new threat is very cool, because when Godzilla fights him on his own, the very first thing that they do is atomic breath blast, which they should be doing. They should get him with the
strongest stuff first, both of them. And what it ended up doing was like that wizard power thing or. Or sort of like the clash of the palm power that ends up happening in big trouble in Little China when Eggshen take the bad guy and they cast those two warriors fighting in the light at each other. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, and then it throws them both back whenever the magic is too much or you see wizards throw spells at
each other. They even do it in Harry Potter where the wands get licked with a spell, and then that just builds power until it explodes both back. Always good. Especially if they have the same core. Right? Yeah. As long as they have the same core of being a turf. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't
want to think of it that way, but. Yeah. But essentially what I'm getting at here is the matchup of the power of them both being equally powerful with those laser blasts where it knocks the explosion that happens from them being equally matched with that blows both of them back on their ass on their first greeting and injures them or malfunctions them so severely that they have to, like, you know, basically both run away and heal up to fight again or be repaired. Yeah, that was a really
cool idea. I like the way that they did that really, really well. Yeah. Everyone had to get up out of there. Yeah. And then, other than trying to bring in this new character of King Caesar, I think you could have just had Godzilla go get his lightning striking, and it's obviously hurting him when it's happening. Like, he's getting hurt and burnt by the lightning strikes, but he's enduring it because he knows it will somehow give him what he needs to fight his machine. Yeah. More power.
Yeah. Right. And I really like that. That, like, they're really leaning into this, like, Anytime he gets injured, he gains a new power to overcome what that injury is. And so he's just standing here taking on electricity shocks until he becomes magnetic. He basically becomes like a lizard EMP or something like that. Yeah, he's like a giant magnet now. Ye. I. You know what? It's a giant fucking lizard that can power up
by taking damage. I'm just going to go with this. And. And you know, if they're going to build a machine that's like a Mechagodzilla in secret underground somewhere on Earth and like, no one ever finds out about it. If I'm going to go with that and, you know, the magnetic pipe thing and all of that other stuff, I have to accept that Godzilla can get powered up by taking on multiple lightning strikes on this weird, mysterious island. Agreed. Yes. If you're going to travel already with the
fact that there are giant Kaijus, then. Yeah. Why can't they be magnet? Yeah. Why can't this be a power that he adapts somehow? You know, like the aliens go with it whenever it's just working. Why can't we, you know. Yeah. Right. Now, having said that, we obviously do not need King Caesar in this. I think it also gives you an idea of, well, even these two may not have any hope. And it kind of gives Mecha G just that much more menace and feel
to him, you know? Yeah, it really does. I think it's really well balanced the way that they use both of the warriors and how both of them kind of get knocked down for the count and have to try and do this on their own. I don't know if we necessarily needed all that strange prophecy of like, you know, the two monsters that will come, but I think they just wanted to, again, have a way to bring in a supernatural force
into this world. And it really feels like maybe they wanted to bring in a Daimajin like character here, but they just chose to do their own thing with King Caesar that was, you know, influenced by a Shiza statue, as opposed to the type of statue that Daimajin is based on. Just. It feels a lot the same. Like they wanted to do something similar. I don't know. Yeah, I would have loved to see Daimajin team up with Godzilla in this, though, that I just. In a world where
that would have been fun. Yeah. I'm a fucking mark for die machine, I admit it. And I think I like King Caesar because I'm also a mark for that kind of supernatural protector that is a Kaiju in a suit. I like that idea. And I would have loved to have seen a King Caesar film that takes place, like in the feudal Japan eras where he was supposed to be protecting that island. You know, I would have liked to have seen something like that too. That would
have been cool. Yeah, we never get it. We never get it. But that's fine. I got enough King Caesar in this film to make me enjoy it. And he does pop up later on. He's one of the kills in Final Wars. That happened way too fast and is not anywhere near as satisfying as you think it is. But yeah, we'll get there. I think we've gone more than enough in this. Once I add the clips back in and everything, I think we're more than enough. I don't even think I need to do
a story time this week. I think we can just call it quits. Let's do it. All right. With that, we're going to go ahead and play the show Housekeeping. And immediately following that, we're gonna have on the pirate radio edit blue suede from 1970. 74. Just like Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla with the song Hooked on a Feeling right after this. If you've decided you can't get enough of the show and would like to check out more of it, we're available at LegionPodcasts.com
just do a quick search for cinema psyops or just enter it. As previously stated, the intrusion of fictional characters into the reality of their creators led to numerous authors being murdered by their worst villains and greatest heroes alike. While some authors welcomed the punishments as fitting, others did not go out without a fight. The state of Maine was a fucked up nightmare. For the entirety of the existence of this break in the fabric of reality, Cort and Matt could have chosen so much
better than they did. Their cold indifference should shock and horrify you. Dan, use your screaming pillow for me. The adults are trying to talk here. I don't sound like that. It's my voice making yours work. Every piece of horseshit you spouted off was just me making up the dumbest shit I possibly could or just stole from some dumbass just like you. I have half a mind to release my Soul Eagle on your sadistic ass. So you're gonna hurt me
with bad vibes? I know for a fact that Soul Eagles are bullshit because I made that up. I also made you up. And I know for a fact that I can take you in a fight. Look, we made up some dark because we were going through some back then. Our lives are even more Awful than now than when we used to do the sketches. This is basically a lame ripoff of the end of Farewell Spider man from the end of the 90s animated series. Whoever is writing this is a hack and I hate them so much.
Wait, does that mean we're just characters. Who don't really exist either? Oh, I got this. Where the did Matt go? Oh, I think existential dread just made him disappear in a puff of logic. Maybe that sucked. Just don't think too hard or care too much about all of the we were suffering through, including these two nuggets that just showed up. That may not be real, but the smell in the Savage is so grating. Well, if we still control them,
maybe there is a way to get rid of them. All right, let's see here. Shamir has a change of heart and wants to go on a drug binge. Dan, we can't remain focused on on this. Let's go to my cabin for a private retreat. Oh, that sounds lovely. Let's enjoy time and seclusion at that. Place we got from the old professor. Instead of going with the cult members. I mean, patience Retreat. Little did they know Dan's urge for a couple's secluded rustic cabin retreat was a bad ripoff of the Evil Dead series.
Blue Suede Hooked on a feeling that's definitely something that brings you back and makes you feel good. Yeah. So good. Yeah, it brings me right back out of the bumming feeling that I have, knowing that I'm skipping a story time this week. Yeah. And although we now that time is over and I started thinking about everything.
Well, hopefully we can bring Matt and yourselves out of that funk that I mysteriously just put you all in for no fucking reason other than to end this show on a dour note with David Bowie and the song Rebel Rebel on the pirate radio edit. So while you're enjoying that, remember to kick the out of this week and make it your. Little did they know Dan's urge for a couple's secluded rustic cabin retreat was a bad ripoff of the Evil Dead
series. Well, they might be gone, but the memories, and more importantly, the smell are going to linger. Why do they always smell like patchouli, lemons, and ass when they're here? I don't know, man. I'm just still pissed at Samir for getting Aaron Rodgers on Haluska and ruining a quarterback. God damn it, that was him. Yeah, of course it was him. Who else is Aaron Rodgers gonna go to out of country with and spend eight days in a cave doing Hallelujah till
He sees the dark man. I just hope the robots don't show up. Next life is bad enough for us to hope to finish this final, final consecutive weekly release schedule. Jesus, we had robots in our sketches. Wait, did I get back the version of Matt that we made up and not the real Matt? How do I know you're not the imaginary version of Cord? Why don't we just wait here for a little while, see what happens. Yep. All right. Sorry, what I didn't realize I was trying to
set up. Oh, hang on, let me start recording. Recording in progress. All right. What I didn't realize was I. I was actually trying to set up my clips so that I didn't have to pull them off of the SD card. I recorded them to. And I took it upstairs without realizing that. So I had to run upstairs real quick and grab it so that my sound plant program could play the files as I'm set. So now the cards in place, my clips are ready to go. All 21 of them. How I did that? Holy shit.
Yeah, we'll be skipping. I'm proud of you. You're doing well. Yeah. So we're recording on both backup and. Yep. And regular. And your phone was restarted the last time and we didn't have any issues. I don't know if you got any texts, but. No. No, I got nothing. So we're good. Okay, well, we'll see what happens on this and we'll try and get you out of here as quick as possible on this one, too, so let's move. I'm just trying to catch my breath before I do a big long. Yeah.
You know, breath holding shot. So that's true. I think. I believe. Okay, so three, two, one. Coat. Yeah. Jacket. Got you thinking about those pinky rings, aren't I? Yeah, kind of. I gotta let this place. So I can catch my breath for a little bit. Jesus, why do I do this to myself in notes? I don't know. Especially for all the clips you do, you still make yourself a lot of work. I don't know how to show otherwise, I guess. Yeah. Yes, right? Yeah,
that's true. This is. This is how I show. I don't know how to show otherwise. This is how I show. I got my clips up somehow. I have to fix that later. 3, 2, 1. The mistrust left behind when Cort found a way to free Matt and himself of the burden of their character's rebuke went on for longer than either of the dimwit Ted dipshits would want to admit. In the reality where what would be a fictional evil cort exists. All he has ever been is that
character as he is played for laughs. I can assure you that mad scientists with a fascistic twinge to them have no sense of humor about themselves and want even less to be thought of as some kind of joke. Upon realizing the origins of himself, his inventions, his very identity as a fictional character who is badly written for the purposes of a lower tier podcast with no moral compass, all versions of an evil cort set to unmake all of creation with every variation
working on the same project with the same result. The Mobius loop of Annihilation was able to break the scope of its realities of origin. So while you're enjoying that, remember to kick the out of this week and make it your bitch. We don't have time to play all of that song, but it'll be in the pirate radio edit for you to hear it. Yay. Since we got to get you out of here then we got to get this done recording stopped.
