Cinema_PSYOPS_EP514: Giant Monsters FSU: Godzilla vs. Megaguirus 2000 (Main Feed)

There is very little time or point in an explanation. To be blunt, the audio came from a timeline and dimension that has collapsed at a quantum level rendering it null and void in terms of existence. Operational time in the dimensional continuum where the beings...

that created the audio collapsed in on itself, rendering all of their civilization, including technology null and void. Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on cinema style. Ten years, man! Ten! Ten years! Ten years!

What is the most likely way humanity will be wiped out? Maybe it's something from space 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 everything on fire in a nine mile diameter radius. On top of the bulldozing effect of the wind with all the buildings coming down and more fire. On top of all that, each one of these fires creates a mega fire that is a hundred or more square miles.

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 blinked out of existence.

Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on Cinema Silence. Ten! Ten! Years! Ten years!

Welcome to the 514th consecutive week of Cinema PsyOps. I'm your host, Court, the guy that's super sad that we still don't have Matt back, but is super excited to announce the arrival of a Wisconsinite to be our interim co-host. and do the notes for the night is our buddy Dan Biesel from the Corrupted Youth Podcast.

Hello. It's me. I'm definitely not Matt. Do I need to match your energy? Do I need to be less hyped up to be able to match where you're at? Am I too much of the douche on the radio right now? now and not enough of the guy that's just doing a podcast with his buddy? Is that what needs to happen here? Here's the thing. I can give a shit ton of energy. And when I listen to it, I go, that guy sounds bored.

So I think it's just me. You just seem like you're always calm, cool, and composed, right? Like you're the guy that they should go to in a crisis, right? That's the thing. Absolutely not. You're the guy who should be in a film pretending to be the guy that's perfectly calm and rational about everything when shit's hitting the fan. That's what you should be.

I'm going to be the guy who makes the dry and appropriate joke in the crisis as a coping mechanism. So you're basically George Romero's cast for every dead film, right? Yeah, pretty much. They're always just like, oh. They're like, oh my god, I know we're going to die in a horrible, horrible way. Can it just fucking not be so boring in between?

That sounds about right. Yeah. Okay. So that totally makes sense. I'd already announced with everybody and I already let them know with Darren's episode that's going out that Matt's going to be out for the next three weeks. We have a health crisis going on in his family, so he's going to have to step away for a little bit.

Hoping and he is hoping that we'll be able to get him back and that these three weeks that we're taking off will be all that we need. But I needed not only, as I mentioned, a Wisconsinite to fill in for Matt. I needed someone who knew what they were doing when it comes to talking about Godzilla because Matt has been trained.

up to the point where he's watched everything up to the millennium and then all the supplemental stuff so at this point matt knows what he's talking about when he's watching kaiju movies i think he's trained up enough he knows where he's coming from yeah and you know the thing is is like i might be very not

Ineligible, but man, I've hung out at G-Fest and holy shit, do I not know a lot about Godzilla. That's the thing, right? Like you've, you've gone to G-Fest. You've, you've gone even deeper than me. I, let's, let's just put it.

this way i kind of do a little day trip around the crunch just to make a little reference to mighty bush there when it comes to godzilla like i absolutely love godzilla i am 100 obsessed with godzilla and to most normal people i am the most extreme fan of godzilla they will ever

me but here's the thing i am the tip and there is an iceberg and you have seen that iceberg and i would like to tell our audience about that ever so slightly just a little bit so you've been to g fest and you've done some stuff for your art and everything so let's roll this into some plugs

Talk a little bit about your experiences in G-Fest. Just slightly, just a little bit, going there as an artist and everything. Tell us about all of your stuff that we would need to get out at the start of the show, and let's move on to do the review. What do you say? Sure. Yeah, I've been to G-Fest. I've got to meet a lot.

of awesome people there a lot of different artists a lot of fans and honestly i have to say out of all the conventions i've ever been to as an artist and comic book guy that um it's the best fan base honestly hands down I'm sorry, any other fan base. You suck because...

Godzilla fans are the best. Have you ever run into any negative interaction with a Godzilla fan? No, not to this day. I mean, there can be like minor squabbles and, you know, there's always different levels of... of fan i suppose but for the most part they're all pretty positive and cool people so that's awesome i'm really glad to hear that because

I feel like it takes a certain type of person to really get into the suit acting movies and to be really, really into it. And I just feel like I'm glad that there are more folks like myself, at least. Because I like to feel like, you know, I'll have squabbles with people.

and I try not to be a jerk. I'm trying to bring more joy into the world than I do misery because I've had my fair share of bringing misery into the world as a younger man. So I'm just trying better to be a better person now. I really, really am. You know, people who listen to this podcast.

For the whole 10 years, I'll probably hear that switch when I stop being so abrasive and start trying to be a little bit more kind, like actively. So I'm glad that you did have those interactions. Now, you've gone there as an artist and you're a comic book artist. And we've already mentioned you're the...

the head honcho for Corrupted Youth, you and your son. So you've also started some other ventures. So I just kind of curious about what's going on with you and all the stuff that you're doing right now. Yeah. So I started Cinema Sketches and, you know, as an artist with a love for movies.

Finding artistic inspiration can be challenging, so why not draw inspiration from those movies? Viewers can watch as I create whatever art the movie inspires and listen as I share my thoughts on the film. I just debuted my first episode. It's a fun thing. It's just a really cool project. My wife came up with the idea and I've just been rolling with it. It's really nice because I just get to make art when I kind of don't feel like it.

and it's been really refreshing. That's cool. So are you doing this sort of like a live on video you're doing that? How exactly would this like happen, right? Like how does this work?

So either I'll just watch a movie or if it's one that I've seen, like, say, like a shit ton of times, I'll just maybe put it on in the background and then I will draw something, just whatever I'm inspired to. It could be something from the... movie itself and it has been sometimes or it's just maybe something a little more abstract from the actual movie itself but still kind of ties in i can't i can't spoil future episodes because i've got a few in the bank but okay there's definitely

Definitely one where it's like, you wouldn't think of it, but it could completely make sense once it's done. Okay. So are we going to be watching the movies with you or is this, you're discussing it while you're drawing the thing that was inspired by the, by the movie? Yeah, I'll do. Yeah. So I'll do all the drawing.

And then I will edit it down a bit, like take out parts where I'm not actually drawing or anything. And then I will kind of come up with like about how much time do I think I have to talk about a certain movie? And then I'll... speed up or slow down bits of the drawing process. And then I'll do a voiceover talking about the movie. And I'll also talk about what I'm doing when I'm drawing and kind of like what techniques I'm using and material stuff like that. Wow.

Now, was all of this, this whole aspect of this show, was this your wife's idea? Or did you guys hash this out together? Or did you just sort of hash it out after she came up with the initial idea of you should do the cinema sketches? Yeah, she had the initial idea. And I think it was because she, like the corrupted youth, she got tired of Brennan and I talking about movies around her all the time.

So I think she got tired of me just talking to her about movies. I was like, now that you're not recording with Brennan, why don't you go do this? Stop obsessing over stuff and annoying me with it. I love you. but go do this. I think that's the heart of it, but I think she also just loves me and wants me to do fun things. Oh, that's fair. Yeah. I would hope and assume that your wife would love you and want you to do things that make you happy. I would hope and assume that that's fair.

That's the case. Well, that sounds like a terrific idea. It sounds like something really great. I can't wait to check it out myself. Every time it pops up on blue sky, I go ahead and reshare it as well. You've just been sort of like starting now. So you have some episodes in the can about how many are out right now.

Just one as of today when we're recording and then it'll be on a weekly basis. All right. So it's weekly from here on out and we're about mid June. So you have one out in mid June. And so go check everybody.

That's the easiest way to go. I'll make sure I get the links from you and stuff to put it in the show notes and all of that as well. That's great. I appreciate all the support that you've done to help me out so far. As I mentioned before, I just want to say it again and reiterate, Dan did the notes for tonight.

night he took the clips himself i gave him a little bit of stuff but he's actually trying to mimic the cinema psyops style of synopsis so i'm actually really really eager to see how this is going to turn out i've got all your clips i've got the music

Music ready. So what we've been doing all along this time, I kind of got a little selfish and I decided just to pick songs that I kind of dug that were also released in 2000. So I didn't go with just the popular and Billboard 100s because this is one like big. And like those types of boy bands and like that kind of pop music that I just can't stand came about.

So I just broke my own rules for this week's show and next week's show because that's who I am. And so we're going to go ahead and get started with Godzilla vs. McGarris from 2000. So the first song up for the night on the Pirate Radio Edit, which was also released in... 2000 is our friend richard cheese with the cover of nookie and break stuff because fuck limp biscuit you can enjoy that right after this on the pirate radio this will keep you quiet

Oh, hi there. I didn't see you. You call me cutting a new show. I'm Beau Ransdell, and I'm one of the many creators... The lapse of seven quarts all in one Edison manufacturing business have been accused of being a center for outlandish claims that are almost always shown to be false with time. There are accusations that their stock price is inflated by lies and propped up by shady investors. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

sustaining devices that are essential to the function of the Mobius loop of annihilation has proven difficult in Edison manufacturing labs as was shown in the audio of the testing process repeatedly attempting to manipulate and remove things from history for paradox stability was unprovable with repeated testing until a test attempt resulted in the destruction of the three TD in use, killing the test subjects.

Paradox generation is imperative to making the loop function. We need false things to be true. Also, things that once existed that never exist. We have been testing the purview designs and plans for paradox generation. We also had another. How does spontaneous...

I don't know how we could really try to spin the fact that all of our... attempts at testing the paradox generation devices have resulted in no measurable temporal shifts and more measurable time functions we can't determine if the devices are working with any kind of removal or savior complex This is because when we change anything in the past, it either is working to make that paradox be sustained, and we all can't remember what we changed because of causation.

That sounds like when you take a dose of rohypnol to erase the memory of something bad so you can legitimately say under oath you don't recall that you might have done something bad, but you waited too long or it didn't work right. So you still wake up with no memory of taking the drug, only the memory of needing.

to forget the thing you vaguely remember needing to take the drug to forget. It can become a spiraling experience. That is not only off-topic and horrifying to hear you say, I'm pretty sure that this is the plot of something that happens to Joe Bluth and the... I am trying to tell you, we have no idea of knowing if any of this technology we are mimicking from other dimensions even works beyond just exploding and killing our testers.

Holy shit. This is taking me back too. We were kind of having a little conversation, you know, behind the mic while the music's going like DJ style. And we were talking about how we haven't heard this song in like how long, how long has it been for you? What did you say? Ooh, I don't know. Probably.

Probably 20 years at least. Now, nookie break stuff is something that I hear a lot more often than I really fucking want to. Like, for instance, I watched the movie Y2K and it's got Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit all the way fucking through it. And then they play that song and they talk about it.

It's on and they do the cover that they do. And like, there's a whole bunch of Fred Durst everywhere. And it's, you can't tell everybody I dislike Fred Durst. I dislike Limp Bizkit. However, Westmoreland's a fucking boy. I could play guitar.

But enough about Limp Bizkit and everything that is awful. Let's talk about everything that is awesome with Godzilla vs. McGarris from 2000. Okay, so let's get into it. First of all, too, I might pronounce things different than course. And this happens a lot in the fan fandom because nobody, even the dubs don't even pronounce things consistently. Yeah, there's certain things that certain people go for. So if you're talking about names and stuff like that, yeah, totally get that.

fine uh i only ever correct matt because i only go by what i go by and if anybody's going to take the blame for not knowing how to pronounce a godzilla foe it's going to be me it's all good happens a lot so don't worry about it

Yeah, let's kick it off with the first 20. So the movie kicks off with a newsreel of the original 1954 Godzilla attack on Tokyo. But in this, they've updated the footage from the original Gojira and they've added the new... millennium suit Godzilla and hey it's also our first clip Godzilla king of the monsters again wreaked havoc on the streets of Tokyo the entire city was transformed into a sea of fire

Less than ten years after the end of the war, and in the middle of the post-war economic miracle, Tokyo was once again the scene of death and mass destruction. The advent of nuclear power and the threat of nuclear weapons had brought the monster back to life. Mankind was powerless and could only stand and watch as Godzilla vented its rage. A few months after the attack, Tokyo undertook a massive program of reconstruction.

Japan moved its capital to Osaka, and the country slowly started to return to normality. So, next, we jump to 1966. More expository dialogue that we can't give justice. So, that's our next one. Just 12 years after Godzilla's attack, the monster returned. This time, it attacked Japan's first nuclear power plant. The Prime Minister is here! It's confirmed. The decision has come through. Japan is giving up nuclear power plants? That's correct.

Godzilla had been attacking the country to feed off the radioactivity created by the nuclear power plant. The government therefore decided to close the plants as a safety measure. However, steadily growing demand for electricity meant the government had to act quickly. Water, wind, and solar energies were used to fill the void left by the decommissioned power plants. combined could not replace nuclear energy.

And so, the decision was taken at government level to establish the Bureau of Science and Technology. The aim of this institute was to develop sources of clean energy. It was based in the new capital, Osaka. As you all know, the aim of this institute has been to conduct research into new sources of clean energy. Today, this research has finally given its first results. Consequently, we're proud to announce a new era. An era of totally clean energy.

The plasma powered energy system. Now that we have the story set up for a Japanese plasma powered clean energy initiative that won't feed Godzilla. Maybe not.

not at all who knows the big g is on a typical 1996 nighttime stroll through the city and there's a small military squad deployed to osaka where they run around on foot and shoot rockets at godzilla now we can assume this is a technique used to irritate him and lure him out of the city regardless it doesn't go well for the squad because it gets systematically wasted this is the most suicide squad since

This is the biggest goddamn suicide squad that has ever existed in Japan. They're firing missiles at Godzilla just to irritate him to try and get him to move. They might as well be flashing giant lights at him, right? Right. And they're on foot too. So they're just trying. How do you outrun a Godzilla? Right. They couldn't do this successfully with helicopters or airplanes and other movies. So why are they doing this from buildings? Like, I don't get it. This is a weird choice.

I'm just going to say it. Yeah, but hey, at least we're introduced to Kuriko, a woman soldier who is saved from falling debris by her commander. He gets crushed and she ends up firing a rocket at Godzilla and screams and then... we get our opening title time. I love when opening title time happens. They're always so dramatic in these movies. I love it. Yeah. There's always something where it'll either like bust through something or it'll be like this big bright light or it always has.

that logo where it looks like a fight poster, you know, like when you see like rumble in the jungle, like they, they're really just amping it up and knowing exactly what we're here for. Oh, for sure. Yeah. And I mean, at this point, like, yeah, you had to listen to those clips and everything and it's a little dry.

but you go, okay, let's go. You're pumped up for it now. Yeah, it's not the worst intro that we've seen in the Godzilla movies. This is definitely one that builds for sure. Yep. And then we jump to...

2001 in tokyo we have a man named kudo who is entertaining some kids in his shop by he's placing these ingredients out on a table with a spoon and then he's placing a bowl over the items but when he lifts the bowl The ingredients are cooked and assembled on the spoon. This is all fun until some uniformed folks step in and one of them ruins the trick with our next clip. The microbots mix the ingredients and the microwave cooks the mixture.

Right? Oh, it's a trick. Told ya. Hey, hey, wait a minute. Let's go to the park. What did you have to go and do that for? Now I've lost credibility with those kids. Don't you think it's about time they learned the truth anyway? Still, I have to admire you. Magic or no magic, these little machines are a remarkable achievement for a self-taught engineer. You have a lot to be proud of.

You had no right to give the game away. What are you guys doing here anyway? You might say we're headhunting. That scene is like the equivalent of someone tricking someone with three card Monty and then someone else like calling them on it and showing what they're doing. Like it's just a way to establish that. Like he's this clever super engineer guy.

through all that expository dialogue, and then also show that she's clever enough to figure it out and be able to explain it all, you know? Like, it's just a really quick shortcut to just be like, these people are extremely intelligent. These people are going to take on Godzilla. You will believe they can do it. Let's move on.

Yeah. Yeah. Because then we end up jumping to the self-defense core. Oh boy, I'm going to murder this one. Shibora base. That's what it says. And that's what it says. Yeah. I guess that's how it's pronounced. Shibora. That sounds about right. Yeah. And this is where.

they've taken our trickster kudo and the lady explains their motive for bringing them there hey in the following clip hey this place is the pits what is it anyway it used to be a warehouse now it's our hq oh right afternoon miss ever since in 96.

Godzilla reduced Osaka to a heap of rubble. The government has been collecting data on the monster's characteristics. Four years ago, he created an anti-Godzilla command unit within the self-defense forces. But there's one thing I don't quite understand. I thought Godzilla was attracted by a radioactive leak.

And if there are no more leaks, then there's no more Godzilla. You're right. In theory, we have nothing to fear. However, that's only in theory. The one way to be certain... would be to eliminate Godzilla once and for all.

So inside the facility, it is presented as more impressive with lab coats and computers galore, but the area looks smaller than a typical insurance office. And the name of this organization is G. graspers all in one word and honestly that's fucking stupid so it's it's two g's with an r like graspers basically yeah and okay so on corrupted youth brennan and i did this episode and i think we

referred to them as good graspers the entire time because we just thought it was so dumb. So I'm probably going to do it here too. I came really close to stealing a... uh, term from Darren's son that he used in the last episode of my notes for next week. So I am totally fine with us. Just calling on the good graspers, good graspers, good graspers. So the woman gives our duty brief rundown of.

the departments and the movie's relevant team members but since i don't want to take all those notes it's our next clip section one's job is to search for godzilla section two studies the monster's organism and its behavior section three over there to handle statistics and logistics in case of evacuation. Search, study, statistics? Huh, you're really taking the threat seriously. Move positioning monitor from D1 to M3. Number seven satellite monitoring system, check.

And this is the command sector for our combat troops, the G-graspers. This is Hosono, our pilot. This is Nakura, our information officer. Hello there. Our radio operator, Mr. Mima. He used to serve in the submarine corps. Here's Okamura. He was a captain in the rangers, like me. And my name is Kiriko Tujimori. Major, I'm in charge. Gudo!

Miss Yoshisawa, this really is quite a surprise. I haven't seen you since fourth grade physics class at high school. A small world. Yeah, those guys are just background bodies, but hey, at least they were given names. Congrats! They're red shirts. They're the red shirts of the G-Force. The grabbers.

Yeah, they really are. They're just kind of there when they just need somebody to be next to the main woman here. Yeah, it's screen filler, and it's people that look good in caps and jackets and all that kind of shit. That's all you need. You just need someone that looks like a squad. Yep. And hey, Japan is great for this and all their kaiju stuff. I love a good just uniform team.

That's cool. I'm not really the big fan of the G-Force unit. I think that kind of comes through with a lot of my review stuff and my attitude towards them. But I'm actually glad to see that someone actually really likes all that human stuff with all the military forces and the people running around. That's good. I'm glad that you enjoy it. Yeah, I mean...

like one, one good thing is, uh, I don't know how familiar you are with Ultraman, but enough, the science patrol in there, man, those guys have bomb ass outfits where like, it's like blaze orange and they have ties. Don't they kind of,

match Ultraman a little bit too like their their suits look a little bit like Ultraman's for the science force I kind of remembered it that way vaguely I mean it might be in later series I'm not like super super familiar I just have like I I kind of more watch one guy's videos about Ultraman. I'm old school Ultraman, but then after that I'm like, I don't know, I'll just watch somebody talk about it.

Yeah, I like the old school Ultraman a lot. That's more my flair. I've been really into that. That was on TV a lot when I was a kid, and we're on a tangent, so we'll have to come back here shortly. As far as Ultraman goes, he's a kaiju that we kind of do need to discuss because he runs parallel with that, and we can kind of save that.

a little bit more for the 20 minutes, but I do like where you're coming from with the everybody's on a team and then the team all has a very stylish look to them. It's very fantastic for, it's very old school X-Men. It's very like, like you said, science.

force and ultraman which is those are some super cool outfits as well and i like when that carries over i just don't like it when it's all black leather like they end up doing after the matrix in some of these films yeah yeah about that well We're not there yet, so let's move on.

I don't want to spoil anything for anybody who doesn't know. Yeah, yeah. Future review, folks. That'll be a future review. Yeah. Okay, back to it. When the woman scientist asked Kudo how he would answer if he were asked to join the team, he... states with just all conviction that he has no wish to die young. And it's funny because this causes the scientist woman to stare off into space and have a flashback.

to her colleagues being killed during a Godzilla attack. And it's like the joke about Vietnam, you know, where the guy just stares off and then it just fades and there's the helicopters. Yeah, you have someone having a flashback or a PTSD sort of...

triggered moment. And then we hear the audio of what's going on in their head and we see them reacting to it and doing an acting moment, but we really don't know much more than that. And it's kind of a cheat and you're right. It's used a lot in the eighties about Vietnam vets and shit. Yeah. I mean, at least we.

get to see it in this though i mean it's they they do an all right job with it yeah but usually when they have the worst is what i'm saying the flashbacks that are the worst is when it's all audio and you just have it on the actor's face you know yeah because then it just becomes comical right right

It's like Leslie Nielsen time and fucking like a naked gun or some shit, right? Or airplane is a good one. Yeah. Anything Leslie Nielsen wise. That's what I'm picturing with what we just described, you know?

Yeah, so anyways, after a flashback, the scientist woman, she reveals that they're developing a plasma weapon that can produce a miniaturized black hole to capture Godzilla for all of eternity. and then she shows them a fancy vectored simulation on a monitor and we get more details in this clip. This is really far out. The world's first man-made black hole incredible and miniaturized. I'd never have believed it.

Right now, we're still at the research stage. According to preliminary figures, we must reduce it to two meters. Enough to launch it from a satellite. Attack Godzilla from space? Ha! What a great idea! But we must be careful not to damage the planet. If everything goes as planned, we'll fire the black hole into Godzilla from orbit. Right now, the black hole's too big, so we're counting on you.

You will be disappointed, I promise. This sounds totally sane and completely safe. Nothing will possibly go wrong. I can honestly tell you that I can't think of any reason why human beings being able to randomly generate black holes inside of anything is a good... bad idea, let alone firing black holes at will. For real. Yeah, like, I've...

very much fail to see how anything about this situation as to why they're doing this with science makes any sense at all as to why they would want to do it. Like, I know they were trying to destroy Godzilla, but why would you choose Black Hole, right? Like, why would you go that far?

I know they don't have a lot of other options. And this is another one of those movies that's been reset a billion times, right? Because it's 1954, this Godzilla. It's been that, it's like every millennium movie is going to be that way. Oh yeah, buckle up. But like, yeah, were they already generating?

creating black holes. Like they don't tell us this in the movie. It's just all of a sudden, Hey, by the way, we have this capability. So we're going to kill Godzilla by shooting him with a black hole, right? Like that's basically what they say. They're going to shoot him with a black hole.

Yeah, and also they need this guy to help them out with it because for some reason they can do it, but they can't do it without him. And this is kind of where his character, this Kudo guy, starts rubbing me the wrong way.

do a kurosawa and he's just he doesn't have the gravitas or the charisma of the other actors that have done this kind of character before this guy just doesn't have it he's just he's like bill pullman everywhere where you're just like oh shut the fuck up yeah and they're they're they're making I'm kind of like a slacker type because they want to update it for 2001. Yeah, that's what I meant by Bill Pullman-ing everywhere. I'm sorry.

He just, he does. I don't know what it is about him, but he just, he reminds me of like that kind of guy where like Bill Pullman is an actor where he always seems like he just learned his lines five minutes before showing up on set. You know what I mean? Where I'm like, what the fuck is on with this guy?

Every single time. He's the same no matter what. Everything that is wrong with slackers is what I associate with Bill Pullman just because of the way that I feel like he just doesn't take his job seriously.

I don't know why. I just have this issue with it, but I do. But there we go. I'm never going to look at Bill Pullman the same way ever again. Yeah, because this guy's going to remind you of him from now on. Every time you look at Bill Pullman, you're going to think of this scientist. You're going to be like, God damn it, Cord. I hate you. Yeah.

Oh boy. Well, you know, there's an alert that temperatures are rising in the ocean near Japan and they fear a Godzilla return. And there's also an increase in urgency to get that weapon working. So then, well, I guess it's going to take... months because it's three months later and we find out it's summer vacation and meet our obligatory irritating child in this clip good morning kids and welcome to the show made just for you

That's right! It's Kids Kingdom! And what's today? The first day of summer vacation! That's right! No more school for a whole two months! Terrific! Where are you going like that, June? It's nearly lunchtime! We're gonna eat soon! Okay, would I have chosen this dialogue as a clip? Yes. The answer is yes. Is there a dialogue? Yes. Clip. Simple. Okay.

Yeah. I thought it. Yeah. The kids are irritating. It moves the story along. It's totally fine. Yeah. Okay, Corey. You're doing an excellent job, Dan. You're clipping everything that I would have clipped. I was putting myself like, what would Matt do? And I was like, Matt would want to play this clip just to irritate Court. Well, many of the clips that I choose are also just to irritate Matt. And in my show that we'll be doing next, I'm a lot nicer to you with my clips. It's weird.

We'll see about that. Anyway, this dingus kid just happens to stumble on the Graspers running a weapon test. That's weirdly super close to his home and completely not secure. There's no security around this at all. And they're shooting black holes. Again, just the ability to create any kind of size of black hole in any way, shape or form should be. very heavily regulated and guarded. It's the most...

Powerful thing we know of. It's gravity that can crush literally anything. I understand why they're doing this for Godzilla, but it's a really stupid idea just to let dumbasses like this have access to it. Well, you know what the problem is, Cord, is that you come from America and there's way too...

much. Everybody's regulating everything all the time. Too much government overreach. We've got to be more like Japan. We should all be able to just shoot black holes in our backyards. It's every human being's God-given right. to have a black hole gun. Let's move on. That's right. Just the way God intended. Well, there's some science woman chatter.

reminding us that all of this is only possible because plasma energy and as they prepare to test the weapon and you know that just brings us to the end of our first 20.

We're doing the thing that I usually do with Matt where we're having too much fun and we're vibing and we're kind of going back and forth about stuff and talking. So all the stuff that I needed to bring up about this 20 minutes, I think we've pretty well hit. Although I do just want to reiterate that I don't think that it's everybody's right to own a...

black hole gun just like i don't just like i don't think that every human being should be able to own a tank or nuclear missile or i don't fucking know maybe maybe flamethrowers should be pretty heavily regulated before you just go tossing those around to let people own them too but

Who knows? Whatever. I mean, these are coming from the people who just like complain all the time of like, why are there warnings on stuff about not putting it in your butt? Because you're the same people putting it in your butt. I had no idea the vacuum cleaner was gonna damage me in such a way. I put the corner attachment on.

Yeah, just the way it is. Let's move on to the next 20. Let's do that. They test fire the weapon at an old building and the ball of black hole just leaves a trench in its wake. before engulfing the entire building and vanishing as our kid looks on. And man, I imagine this kid just hilariously just getting sucked into this black hole. I'm assuming that they have some kind of calculation to know.

how to cause the black hole to eventually close because isn't one of the things about a black hole is it just keeps growing because it keeps bringing more matter into it and then that matter becomes part of it and it just like we don't even know what's really going out the other side of black holes but what we do know is the gravity going into it is so dense and strong that it literally crushes everything.

I mean, yeah, I don't know, man. This whole thing with this weapon, it's like, you just got to go with it. Just go with it. Trust me, a black hole gun is a fucking cool idea. The minutiae around it is terrifying. This is why you just have to press the I believe button in a kaiju movie and just not think too heavily about it because otherwise all the stuff that the humans are doing are way more terrifying than what the kaijus are doing, right? Sure.

Kind of on purpose to some degree, yes. Yeah, but there's a weird distortion that briefly remains at the location of impact with the building. And they're just like, oh, it's a wormhole. Yes, we know that Einstein, Rosen... bridges are a thing that exists. Isn't

Kind of that what they were trying to do is like make a wormhole kind of to suck Godzilla in. I don't know. Whatever. Yeah. I gotta stop thinking about it. Yeah. The black hole is supposed to go to somewhere, but all they care about is that Godzilla goes away from here. They don't care what happens to him.

or what ends up happening at the other direction, right? Like, they didn't test this. As far as we know, they're just trying this with a building now. Like, maybe they should try and see where the building goes and what happens with it and all that shit. I mean, again, we're thinking too much about it. We're going to be here all fucking night. We should move on. Right, and you know, hopefully that building doesn't get sucked to an alternate universe where it just lands on a school.

Or an alternate universe that is 100 feet directly below where the building was before so that it drops on an entire city and destroys a planet. That's not their problem. No, not at all. They don't care as long as they get rid of Godzilla with it. So, yeah, that kid gets busted in the woods and Kariko decides to let him off easy in this clip. Hey, tell me something. Can you keep a secret? Like what? Well, like not telling anyone about what you saw just now.

Not to anyone. Not mom or dad. Say, are you a G-grasper? Yes, I am. But you're a woman, so how come you're fighting Godzilla? Aren't you scared? What about our secret? Can you keep it? Good. So long Mr. Insect!

Well, that night, that little misogynist piece of shit sees the silhouette of something fly past his window. He heads out with a flashlight to investigate and sees another wormhole. And he gets a weird, like this weird insect fly.

into it and he freaks out starts heading back only to find a some type of smoldering lumpy egg-shaped object that clearly is some type of egg and like any kid he's like well yeah i'm gonna take this home So, and this is weird too, because now the kid has relocated to Tokyo because his dad got a job transfer and not because the writers needed an excuse to get the kid and the egg there.

That is in no way, shape or form a plot device that man worked his entire life to get this promotion to get to Tokyo from Osaka. Therefore, that egg needs to go there. It's fine. Yeah. So next time your boss asks you if like your kid has a... the egg at home from possibly space you know yeah don't answer yes or no promotion yeah well it could be it could be a hindrance to your promotion right they could be like no we shouldn't send you to tokyo

Or in this case, if it's there, it's like, yeah, we should send you there instead of here. So we're safe from this thing. Yeah, but that egg is now oozing goop. And the kid decides, well, it's best to throw it away. However, when he goes to do it, some lady gives him shit about taking the tram.

out at a specific time so he decides to just dump the egg in the sewer system and as we know for movies this is the best way to handle the situation and there will absolutely be no repercussions whatsoever yeah i've seen a documentary

called Alligator, right? That had a guy in it that was like, you know, trying to deal with some things like this that happened from an alligator that was eating, that got flushed down the sewer that was eating dogs that were genetically modified or had some kind of weird hormone thing that made it get super big.

Like, you know, nothing wrong. We'll be fine. Yeah, it's totally cool. Yeah. Sewer systems get rid of things. Everything will be fine. That's right. Again, you know, like we don't want that government overreach. Exactly. Well, anyways, at the good grasper gym, our fun slacker smart dude.

he expresses his view on physical fitness and delivers a special gift for Kariko in this clip. Bodybuilding, huh? What a waste of time. What's that? Why do you need to be fit when you're gonna make Godzilla disappear up his own butthole, huh? Here, I brought you this. It's a standard ammo round, but it contains a special micro transmitter. If you happen to be in danger, then you just fire it. As soon as the bullet's been fired...

The transmitter activates. I can lock onto the signal and come quickly to your rescue. You better build up your body first. I don't hate that we're watching her work out while he's talking, but like you said during the clip, I see his point. Like, we're just going to die. What's the matter? Yeah, I mean, they're both kind of right in all the wrong ways. Kudo finds Kuriko's dead commander's dog tags just lying about in this gym because she carries a...

Carries them around with her all the time, apparently. And before he can trigger another traumatic flashback for a woman, a guy comes up and just, he just spills the tea on her situation. So then Kariko asked to test the tracking. and just fires it into a weight. So, I mean, I guess now Kudo has to make another one. That's pretty cool, I guess. No, now he has to figure out a way to fire the weight into Godzilla with the tracking bullet on it because they only had the one.

We're going to need a bigger gun. We're going to need a gun that can fire a weight that has a tracking bullet stuck in it. Long story.

Meanwhile, under the city, oh man, that egg is just plopping off little eggs into the water. So that's good. Was it more like an egg sack or is it like, do you think it's like dividing? Well, it kind of gets into it because like these little eggs. become all these like little tiny bugs that we're going to see here in a little bit. Okay. Yeah. Back at Good Grasper Lab, the weapon is being modified for use on a satellite. And because I'm mad with power, it's our next clip. Installation complete.

Confirm safety zone checking. Activate number three circuit. Are you sure that's going to fit on a satellite? The problems of payload and ballistics have been solved. Godzilla has nowhere to hide. We'll be able to attack Godzilla from space at any point on the planet. It needed a genius to think of it. Congratulations. The JSA has reserved a launch. Wow, she could have shocked to find one.

coming up from the street and yeets off but there's some maintenance guys who go to check it out as a bug on a building looks on but since these guys are fun let's clip them Hey, don't break out of me now. Come on, I'll pay overtime. Now, what does it always mean? Look, there's another one of those leaks right under there. That's really weird. Yeah, what's going on? Maybe we ought to call it an excavator. and dig the whole street out.

You think so? Don't you think so? If we leave it, it'll get worse. And then what'll happen? We get it in the neck again. But we get complaints from the residents. We can't take it out. We'll get authorization. Hey, cut that out. No, I hate that.

Near some sewer maintenance, a couple gets picked off by a fairly large bug creature. And this is pretty goopy and it's kind of brutal for a Godzilla movie. Yeah, I actually really like the Magiris monster and the, I forget what the sub.

like little monsters are that like spawn off of it i forget what they're called but i really dig the monster action in this with all these little bugs killing people and stuff it's really cool shit it reminds me of like uh destroyer and the little mini destroyer is how they were like sort of like an alien reference only this is more like these things just show up in like total monster movie just slaughter people

oh yeah and they kind of did a thing like this and uh oh shit what the hell is that found footage of cloverfield yeah a little bit where they had those uh smaller bugs that came off and like i don't know you got bit by one and you just fucking explode into a pile of blood yeah they were a parasite that were coming off of it they called them seats something else also terrible they do remind me a little bit of that yeah

Yeah, well, shit. That goes back to even Godzilla 84. Yeah, the sea louse. Yeah, you did that with us. And they had the whole ship in the beginning with all the corpses and shit on there. I wish there was more of that. That was pretty... grad all right back to the notes so the bug that kills a couple quickly molts and becomes a flying insect that does a quick flyby just to fuck with that kid

And the next day, Kariko has a heart-to-heart talk with the kid, like, in a park on some stumps. And, well, I guess that's our next clip. It really isn't your fault. No, don't worry. Yeah, but if I hadn't taken the egg with me... No, we're the ones to blame. It was because of the plasma experiment. An insect must have been in the way, I guess. And it mutated. Remember you asked me, back in the forest, why a woman would want to fight Godzilla? A friend once said,

When you're afraid of something, then you don't run. You fight it. The person who said that? He was my commanding officer. He was fighting Godzilla, too. I'm just carrying on where he left off. Am I making any sense? Look, this is a Mega Nulon. It grows into a mega nula. And last night, I saw one flying over the city.

Good thing that kid has a book of interdimensional insects. I realized while we were listening to that clip that this is the fly. The Megagaris or Megaris or however it's supposed to actually be pronounced. Because I think, as I mentioned earlier, Megagaris, the way you pronounce it.

pronounce it is probably the correct way of saying it uh i said that oh you'll they'll probably hear that in the outtakes but uh i i think that this is the fly right because it's a man doing a transporter thing and he's like trying to do transport you know like you know uh beam transportation or electronic transport

or teleportation or what have you. And a fly gets involved and then the teleporter doesn't know what to do with the guy. So he mixes him and the fly together and there's a fly with human arm and a human head. And then there's the human with the fly arm and a fly head, right? Well, in this case,

shoot a black hole at a building and they have a bug fly in and it basically creates an interdimensional bug but it's essentially kind of the same thing where they're trying to open up a wormhole or they're trying to open up a portal or they're trying to do some transportation of some sort by moving godzilla from here to somewhere the fuck else, but instead they fuck up and end up creating a fly.

that explains why megagiris's attacks are really kind of gruesome and like a lot of this stuff is really goopy and slimy and gross they're doing a cronenberg fly man oh man i didn't even think about that no it just came to me like i just i'm just thinking that that's kind of what

Like, it seems like that's the creature of reference that it feels like. Because it is really goopy and gross like the fly. Which is probably why I like this one as much as I do. Because it makes no fucking sense. But man, do I like it.

anyway hey you just gotta go with these movies sometimes but that's part of the fun of it though it's just not giving a shit just like the good graspers because they've detected some wild heat and radiation sensor readings and it's from godzilla but that damn insect is also spotted so it's time to launch the super needle fighter griffin and this thing is like i don't know that's your typical kind of sci-fi kaiju japanese

amazing jet that can do whatever. It's another Super X. They do a ton of these, right? Yeah. It's Super X or Super... What was the... Gruta or whatever whenever they did the Kira and Gruta where they had the things locked together. It was like their version of a Super X that they did in the 80s version as well.

It's just like the maser, right? They have masers all along. They just start calling them masers later on in the series at some point. And I don't even know when that happens. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. What is it? A maser is like a microwave laser. Yeah, that was.

whole thing that they're trying to do that seems like an 80s fucking godzilla thing is when that really debuted i can't really remember it all mixes together at this point yeah there's i always like this little element of super science from the humans like there's just enough oh it's fucking mad science it has to be mad science to battle

kaiju there's no there's nothing else that will do that's why they're firing a black hole because it has to be mad science but anyways yeah so they they use this uh big fancy jet to drop a rubber raft Seems wasteful, but okay. I mean, I guess like maybe they needed that to do that. I don't know. Kariko and another guy descend from a rope down to the raft to find a large mutilated bug just floating around. And they drop a mic.

down into the water to, I think they're getting Godzilla on their podcast. They're trying to get that rare interview that I'm still seeking as well. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, we're all trying to just... man, when's Godzilla going to come on the podcast as a guest? He's very busy, you know. Very big in Japan. Very big in Japan. But I don't know. It's just to confirm that Godzilla's underwater, which she is. is and he emerges and capsizes the raft and

Kuriko proves she's a badass and swims over to Godzilla, climbs onto him, and fires a tracking bullet into Godzilla. Then, it's called an SGS. It's Search Godzilla System. Sub is launched and it's launched around out the second 20.

All right. So we're in the second 20 break right now, huh? Yeah. So we're hitting the third. All right. I'm not sure what I really want to add about all of this because I think we're just kind of in the phases where we're just in the everything's starting to happen as things kind of move into place. Not really deep stuff to talk about or anything like that other than the SGS.

I mean, that's, it sounds like a corporation that's responsible for like food service industry or something. Anyway, we can move on. Yeah. Well, don't get too used to it because it's, I don't even know why it's even in there.

there to be honest yeah it's very brief but we get our third 20 happening now all right let's go the weapon dubbed the dimension tide is complete and it gets launched into space because that was their whole plan was to earlier if you don't recall is to just have it on a satellite so that way they can just shoot it from anywhere also just yeah great idea that's funny but we get we get an analysis of the samples taken from the

in the water and oh man there's some big news that will be our next clip that giant dragonfly you discovered i can now confirm is a meganula the meganoula dragonfly existed here on earth about three hundred fifty million years ago in the early carboniferous period i thought it extinct the larval stage is called a meganoulon It develops in the water and then sprouts wings to become a meganula. Huh? What's the matter? The meganula usually lives in big swarms. What's more?

It's aggressive, extremely. Haven't you been watching the news, Barton? We're right above the Shibuya district of Tokyo at the moment, and as you can see, the whole area is underwater. The flooding seems to have been the result of a violent rise of the water table, although experts still have no idea of the exact cause. Rescue units are being rushed to Tokyo from all over Japan, but the whole area is in total chaos with people trying to flee the city, causing huge traffic snarl-ups everywhere.

Major, we must check this out. Could this be any help? It's a miniature SGS. Not just a mini SGS.

But it also has an infrared camera, too. Oh, man. So the city floods for no reason other than it just floods. My thought is the Megaguirus are, you know, in the ocean or whatever, and they're breeding so much that the ocean... levels are rising right yeah or they want it or they need that environment to thrive and they want to do it in the city yeah so somehow like they cause it also black holes are being fired off so like a black hole could

opened up under the ocean somewhere and then just poured in ocean from somewhere else in another dimension on the other side, you know, like a wormhole could have been created and just started pouring ocean in and flooded the city. It doesn't fucking matter. I mean, black hole guns exist in this. Just accept it and move on. We got a guy in Osaka. His testicles are hanging out of his throat. Weird black hole shit happening.

Kane, he's a Balchinian. Oh, yeah. But anyways, yeah. So rescue operations are taking place in the flooded city and the Graspers are now using the new and improved mini SGS. drone sub to search underwater i think that's the only reason we got introduced to the other one is because now you know kudo is so smart he just made a small one and it's a drone yeah i'm so smart look what i

I did. Well, he works in microscience and miniaturization, so it makes sense. I mean, they made a big thing about it, you know? Hey, all right. Okay. I forgot the beginning of the movie. Also, also kaiju film. If things show up on film, it exists. Like, except, you know, all you're going to do. Yeah. Okay.

So yeah, they found Godzilla and they're tracking him north. They don't know if the dimension tide or which they also call it DT. So I might just call it that from now on. They don't know if it'll work through water. So they need to wait until he's on landing. use it and it's believed he will make landfall on a deserted island that's ideal to blast with a mini black hole but officials are concerned that it could have unforeseen disastrous results like your testicles coming out of your

throat. Caney's a Bolchinian. So Kudo has developed an AI assistant for the weapon because he's just so good at everything and inventing whatever needs, whatever the movie needs, he can do it. And this just so happens to be a cartoonish, sexy nurse. On top of it, because he's also a pervert. Yep. I mean, he is kind of like a single slacker dude, so he would.

Big sexy nurse. Oh, that dude's got a full body pillow he calls Kimiko or some shit like that. He's got one of those printed pillows. He's into all the shit, man. Yeah. He's got it all, man. He's got those little weird maquettes.

that are like anatomically correct versions of like famous anime characters that you can undress that like have special outfits that you put on super obsessive otaku barbie doll shit this is what this guy's into like he's he's into all of it he's got it all right there yeah you just wish you

could be at his apartment when his mom shows up and starts cleaning up and she goes for that sock and you're like ma'am stop i would like to preemptively warn you even though that you raised this gentleman and you're pretty sure that you shouldn't touch his socks directly And they should go right into the washer garbage. That's not milking that jug under his bed. Wow. We really, really, really are going after this guy. I don't think he deserves all of this. I don't know, man.

You're probably right. Yeah, let's just get back to the notes. What the hell? Yeah, but there's just more concern as word gets out to the team that officials were told the weapon was ready for use despite a lack of testing, even though they tested it early. But I mean, I guess they didn't test it from space. Right. And jets patrol the island and they drop charges down to attack Godzilla underwater. And.

Obviously, he gets pissed, takes out a jet, and with the help from the griffin, they lure him onto the island. And back in the city, shit goes down when a ton of bugs are covering the side of a building.

Some soldiers just taking a boat through the city. They take a couple out as... these bugs are like molting into their, like becoming their, like their flying forms and take off. So all those fuckers go to the Island and block the targeting system of the DT. So they can't target Godzilla now. And Godzilla starts black.

him with some of his atomic breath, but there's a lot of them and they swarm them because apparently he's an energy source for them to feed on. And he just starts tail swatting them and more atomic breath and he takes out the majority of them. That's a really cool little battle where he gets.

swarmed by these things they built all of them it looks really really excellent and i love watching him fight all of these tiny little dragonflies and the strategy that he uses and he almost does like the horsetail whip with them when he's like taking them out in certain areas too it's

Really well done. I'm actually really, really a big fan of this movie because of these sequences where they fight. This stuff is really well done. This is some of the best suit stuff and best miniature work that they do to date, I think. I mean, it really is a kind of... of a high watermark uh the godzilla 2000 had some really great stuff but a lot of really ropey cg i think they kind of

corrected that and they may have gone overboard and they're like all right fine we're just gonna build a giant fucking cityscape for them to fight in yeah and this one like i like the the bugs that they just have hanging out on godzilla look really good like the the actual real ones um some of the cg were in this movie is just ass. Yeah. And it's like the...

kind of aren't even trying with it, which is disappointing. Yeah. I still like the sequence and it still works for me overall, but I agree with you. Uh, the CG does kind of drag it down and it makes it harder to push the I believe button for it, but it's a great fight. Yeah. It's a cool little, like anytime.

Anytime anything gets swarmed by bugs, it kind of just, it's just creepy crawling weird. And the fact that they're like, it's a giant monster being swarmed by giant bugs. It becomes like a weirder version of that where like you get that icky swarmed feeling.

But at the same time, they're giant monsters. So it's absolutely terrifying because one of those things is probably bigger than me. Oh, yeah. You're feeling itchy after this. Yeah, it's just, I don't know. I think that's the reason why this film works for me so well. It's definitely not the story. It's definitely all of the monster stuff.

the little swarmy monsters really work for me too yeah so now that godzilla's taken out the majority of those uh insects the dt can now be fired and they do it but womp womp famous godzilla and it's another hour for the weapon to cool down before they can use it again all they can do is watch godzilla walk away into the end of our third 20 oh man that was uh that was a bit that was just i don't know it's a bit much um

They have to have a thing where it can only fire once and then it has to cool down and then they reset it. It really reminds me of the laser from Real Genius. You remember the single shot laser that was so powerful it would burn someone from space? like this this whole like black hole gun that shoots from space now

really reminds me of that, or that specific laser. And I can't help but draw that parallel in my mind every time that I watch this film. That's all I needed to really point out, unless there's something else you want to kind of discuss. We're going through it as we go through it. I have not thought of it. of real genius in probably 20 years at least and now I'm like I need to watch real genius again

I still quote that film almost daily. Not quite daily, but I pretty frequently will say one line or make some kind of reference to real genius or something like that. The one that I always love is terrible. His looks like mine and mine looks like his. or his looks like me and mine looks like his because he handed him the wrong yeah anyway

Back to the notes. Well, as we enter our fourth 20-minute segment, something weird is amiss, according to the good grasper's head, or the head guy's phone call. And it's, I'm going to stop mumbling and put it in this clip. Yes, sir. I expect Godzilla to head towards Tokyo. Its target will be the National Chemistry Institute in Shibuya. Are you quite sure, sir? I thought the project had been shut down. Yes, sir. In fact, I personally signed the orders for the closure. No!

In fact, measures are being taken for your protection, sir. Yes, you can count on me. I promise you.

Yeah, so whatever that clip means, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough because it sounds like they're up to some shady shit. A swarm of those flying bugs goes back to the flooded city and dives under the water where that egg from earlier has... own quite large and it gets a little like it's kind of lumpy too now and they start pumping energy that they were pulling from godzilla and it just kind of sits down there and undulates and once they are done it appears they die off because

they just kind of float to the surface. Yeah. These things are almost like the, like they're, they have to feed this thing. Like they're going out and harvesting energy, right. From Godzilla. And then they're feeding this, this strange, like exact thing that is either.

something in a larval state that is putting these things out to help feed it and help it grow? Or it is just this hive and that's what they do. They're like almost wasps where they, you know, or bees where they just die and then, you know, they're dead.

They have one purpose. They're created for one thing and one thing only, and that's it. Yeah, I think it's a nice touch, honestly. It's kind of cool. Yeah, I do. I like it. Like I said, I'm a fan of this film. I've got nothing negative to say about anything other than the CG, which...

I've already gone over in previous episodes of how much I dislike and how disappointing it is in the Millennium series, the CG usage, but you just have to kind of like either put up with it and enjoy what you can with the suit stuff or hope that you can't realize how bad it actually looks in high definition.

you're watching it in 4k because it does it doesn't look good yeah and you know just like you're just getting mad at that tensions are rising at good grasper hq but it's it's another clip this is the what are you talking about it wasn't my fault It was. You're responsible. I told you the equipment wasn't ready, but you wouldn't listen. What are you doing? All of us want to defeat Godzilla.

So let's not fight. The equipment needed fine-tuning. And that's now done. It'll work next time round. Forgive me. I want the SGS to start a search. I want every inch covered on a straight line from Kinkajima Island to Tokyo City. Do you think that Godzilla's heading for Tokyo? Well, it's quite possible. And if Godzilla is headed that way, we have to be prepared for the worst.

Kudo is perplexed by the malfunction of his little drone sub because he's the best at doing machines. But when a soldier states their radios have also been going out, Kudo suspects magnetic interference below the water is to blame.

and right on cue the egg hatches and a giant mean spiky insect emerges and rises above the water right in front of them it takes a quick loop just to show off and then flaps its wings causing a high-pitched sonic attack that destroys There's a few shots of CG flying that don't look great.

with the Megaguirus when we finally see it that's emerging here. But overall, so many shots of it moving around, flapping its wings and stuff. It's like a really ugly, fucked up fly version of Mothra that I think is really cool. Yeah. Did you guys get to...

uh, Batra yet? Yes. We've covered that. Okay. I can't remember. It's all just a blur. Yeah. So did it remind you of Batra a little bit too? Is that why you're kind of? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of cool when it like emerges too. And like how the wings kind of form and everything. Yeah. They kind of.

it reminds me a little bit of like in Rebirth of Mothra 3 when she emerges from her cocoon there's like a clear wings and like clear Mothra and then the color comes in as she sort of like grows and transforms and the CG

was just to augment that while it's happening and they're flapping around, you know, like they just, they use CG to drain out the color and then they put it back in. And I think that actually looked really cool the way that they did it. And they do some similar things with the transformation here where they have the puppets, they have the suit or whatever.

it's supposed to be and then they augmented a little bit with cg and in some spots it looks a little ropey because it's 22 000 you know cgi it's just not going to look that great but the amount of suit stuff that they use to be able to make that happen is still very impressive yeah it's a it's a It's surprisingly decent for the time and considering it's also like not American quality, but it gets the job done.

Yeah, the latex, the special effects, everything that they, whatever they have, they don't have the money. They don't do the big Hollywood budget stuff there. But what they have is this can-do, let's put on a show attitude with everything that they do that really makes up for that in Japanese films. It really does.

Yeah, but let's get back to the movie. I'm reeling it in. Kudo, he wakes up with a bandaged head and gets some explanation of what he encountered in our next clip. Better not move around. You have a fractured arm there. You're lucky it wasn't worse. That would suit you fine, huh? That thing was absolutely huge. It was the king of the Meganula. Yes, it's called Megagurus. Megagurus? Yes, a specimen that is chosen among the Meganula.

Like a queen bee. Some years ago, I believe, a fossil was found somewhere in eastern China. Megagoras is a formidable fighter. Attacking enemies, whatever size, to expand its territory. The species remained almost invincible for several million years. Major, the SGS has spotted Godzilla! You better remain here.

The city begins evacuation, and we get some callbacks to the maintenance guys and the shit kid with his mom as they flee, and they're out of the movie. Goodbye. Yeah, I'm always happy whenever annoying people are gone. Yep. And Kuriko questions why Godzilla would be headed to Tokyo since there is no energy production in the city for him to feed off of. And the head of Cagrasper just smokes suspiciously and science. woman gives him a look. Withering looks.

Griffin gets launched as Godzilla approaches. They fire photon guns at him and it just pisses him off for some more luring. They're just trying to get him to go somewhere. And Megagira shows up and starts some shit with Godzilla and knocks him on his ass.

He takes this personally and fires off some atomic breath, but misses. Megagiris does its wing thing, and it causes power disruption in the area, so they can't fire off the DT proper. And the DT is now down, and the Griffon's control system... fail as well and shit they didn't back up the file so the dt you know it's not looking good I just like that other like, oh, no, there's not a backup file. And I was like, oh, that slacker, dude. Right. We've all been there.

This is why I always back up everything. You have to have redundancy. You just have to. You just need some really awful bad things to happen. And then you go like, shit, I'm just backing everything up now. Yep. All it takes is for you to lose all of your illegal library just once. Just once. And then. boom you're backing everything up damn you hate you hate to see it yeah but the kaiju battle and um

This is pretty awesome. Like Godzilla. Godzilla. Oh, my God. I'm channeling the people in this movie. Godzilla. Godzilla. It drives me crazy. Anyways, he gets a stinger in the dick. I mean, it looks like it's kind of the dick. And it's. fucking funny because the struggle looks very sexual and then he like can't fire off his atomic breath because apparently he just can't perform now I think something happened with the stinger that like had like a paralyzer or venom or something

that made it to where he can't fire off the atomic breath. It's clearly a work. They have to do something here. Because, I mean, Megaguirus is pretty horrifying. There's some really raunchy, awful things about him, like stabbing people in the dick with your venomous... tail thing or whatever but like really it's not that much more powerful than like a moderately powerful Mothra it's just that it's just emerged and it's a flying thing and because Godzilla's ground you know force only you know

and an atomic breath if he can't hit it in the air with his atomic breath he's got to wait for it to come close enough for him to be able to get a hold of it right like that's that's the only real threat let's face it that Mickey Garris has against him really oh for sure and they've also like just spent so much movie at this point just kind of

of screwing around with other stuff that you don't really get to have a megagearist that goes around and does things yeah that's one of the only complaints i would probably have is we don't get enough time with this but once the monster fight gets going which i'm really itching to talk

about man it's really fucking good though yeah and part of me just wants to like every time i talk about this stuff i want to i want to talk about it like we're like the old school wrestler announcers yeah well i actually do my notes that way and i I do try to bring some of that energy in, but at the same time, if I start unleashing that, it's just going to be a bunch of shouting into the microphone and it wouldn't be much of a podcast.

true story Matt and I tried to do a sketch a long long time ago whenever we covered the Philo Beto movies every which way but loose in any which way you can and we tried we tried to do like this commentary thing and it was literally

just us shouting each other and like shouting into the microphone and it just did not work so and I like I thought of doing something like that with Godzilla but Bo and I already did that on his show with the G-Spot where we had a little bit of like you know sports after commentary kind of stuff. So it's just one of those things that I've always kind of avoided doing with Godzilla movies just for those reasons. But there we go. Yeah, that's fair.

But back to the battle, Godzilla gets flown into a building and there's like a weird pointy part of this building that gets dropped on his head and Godzilla gets up, shakes it off. And now it's on. Megaguirus can't sneak up on Godzilla.

zilla from behind and gets tail grappled and toss into a building and with that we wrap up the fourth 20 the model work on the building i was holding on to this because i knew we had to be close um the model work on the building when he gets thrown into that and when it falls on him and all that

shit hits him it's really fucking good this is some of the best skyscraper model work that they have in these fights like there's there's like modern style like all glass very little uh metal to it and they make sure that things

And it just, it looks gorgeous. Everything just looks so fucking good in this, like this fight, this cityscape, all of this is why I really love this movie. Cause I admit everything else about it is a complete mess and awful, but this is what I'm here for all day is this fucking.

fight specifically the building model work in this is so good where they're knocking over cranes and everything i know we're not there yet but it's really fucking good yeah and when megagiris is just the actual prop itself looks fantastic i like the look of it yeah when it's actually flying around and they're actually animating it and like you know with with the wires and things like that like they do with mothra traditionally looks fabulous very creepy very gross very just not fucking right

It looks like a mutated Batra fly version of Mothra like we talked about before. And it's very, very just still goopy and slimy and gloppy like the fly. That's the one thing that I could never really wrap my head around about.

what it was about him. And it's, they just cover him in ultra slime. He's always goopy and slimy and gross looking on top of everything else. You know, like the only thing that they could do to make him even more gross is like, he just starts vomiting up all this awful green goop everywhere that like starts dissolving things.

know what i mean like that that'd be a fun attack yeah that would be an attack that this thing you would kind of expect but it's a dragonfly so we'll just let it poke him in the crotch i guess i don't know we can let's do the next let's do the it's a final run now right or yeah yeah we're in the

Final chunk of the movie. All right, let's close her out. So a bandaged Kudo can't be kept down because the movie needs him to save everyone. As in these clips. What are we waiting for? Let me try. Hey, you can't go in there. Kudo. Hey. You're going to have to give us something pretty quick. Give me a minute, will you? Kudo? Aren't you injured? I'm fine. I didn't even know you cared. I care more about Dimension Tide. What is the problem? Think you can fix it?

Stand by to receive damage reports from ground-based units. I don't really have any choice. All right, let's see what the problem is. It's controlled by my original operating system. I think I've got something. Your move, Kuriko babe. Kiriko, a major? So Kudo has transformed his little sexy nurse AI into a jetpacked Kuriko. And I wasn't, I don't know. There's probably someone in HR who's going to have problems with that. But anyways.

She flies around in like matrix code hallways, patching up things like these weird, like code holes with a fix it gun. I don't know. It's a thing. It's a visual to say computer man do thing. Yeah. It's not quite as good.

good as what they did with hackers but it's still there yeah and uh back to the fight megagiris fires an energy ball attack that makes godzilla woozy and megagiris goes in for a stinger to the face but wouldn't you know it godzilla catches the stinger with his teeth and snaps it off. Megaguirus retreats only to get blasted into a fiery mass by atomic breath. That was awesome. It was awesome. It was so cool.

Oh my God, everything about this fight. Like we could go into every single detail of all this stuff that's happening because this is like pro wrestling. It's why you want to do the pro wrestling announcement.

There's a lot of tosses. There's a lot of like, at one point they're doing suplexes on each other and shit. This fight is fucking amazing. Like, I don't want to go into detail about it because we will be here for fucking ever, but it's so good. And I have no idea. Like, I don't really recall.

how I covered a lot of this with, uh, on corrupted youth, but I appreciate like every time I watch something, especially if I'm going to do it for a podcast, I just go in first time, like just try to appreciate it for what it is because you never.

know sometimes you just get a little change of opinion yeah well my whole opinion on godzilla versus destroy a change just from doing that for the review like i completely fell in love with the movie doing that for the review like i kind of liked it and i enjoyed the battles and everything but like i

fell in love with the whole storyline from doing the review of that film and i sort of from watching this with a critical eye i've realized that it's not that great of a godzilla film it's just a really great set of fighting Yeah. And that's fine too. If that's all you like, that's literally what I watch these for, which is why I like this one so much. Yeah. And destroy it was the first Godzilla film that I had my son Brennan watch. Oh, perfect. Yeah. We, we got that online.

when he was really young. And I don't know how that happened. I don't recall. That was a long time ago. But anyways, yeah, so about this movie. Yeah, back to the notes.

Now Godzilla is just fucking up the city because he's just pissed off at this point. And the DT can only make tiny farts up in space. It's just like...

um but they're not enough to keep it in orbit so i guess it's just gonna start falling down to earth and science lady uh good grasper head guy and the crew of the griffin i'll meet on a rooftop to wrap up any lingering questions you may have about just what the hell is going on with godzilla wanting to attack which is the best for this clip what is it doing there what does godzilla want in the science institute it wants plasma energy

Plasma? But they dropped the plan, didn't they? In case it attracted Godzilla back again? The development of plasma energy. will bring tremendous wealth to our country in the future. And also, guarantee you a high position. I cannot deny that. But every country must have its secret research projects. We did shut down the generator. I don't get it. How did it know the lab existed? But it came all the same. All because of your gross stupidity. Do you realize just how...

How many people have died? Don't you lecture me, Major. I organized the G-grasper section. And look what a mess they made of everything. Here you go. Take it easy. Bastard. Yes. Hi, Guto here. Thought you might like to listen to this. 300 seconds to firing. Continuing countdown. You managed to fix it? Yeah, but it's still falling out of orbit. We bet a heart. Now, is it me or does this whole situation with the plasma generator make no sense?

Everything in the human story about this film makes absolutely no sense. I'm literally only here for the monster fighting and I'm kind of done. I'm done with the movie. I'm ready to be done. Exactly. So let's just move on. Yeah. Yeah. So the DT can't target Godzilla. but it can target the Griffin for some reason. And, uh, Kiriko flies off solo because, you know, somebody has got to make the heroic act. And as DT burns up and as it's entering the atmosphere, uh,

They decide to fire it and Kuriko ejects just in time and the Griffin hits Godzilla in the back and he sees the black hole ball approaching and fires his atomic breath at it. Then there's like a feedback beam and a big massive. explosion. It appears that their idea worked. Everybody cheers. Kariko looks on triumphant from a rooftop. And then we get a news report and a visit to Kudo Shop for our final clip.

It should have been discontinued. It seems a small research plant continued to function at the Science Institute. The project was known only to a select few within the government and was supervised in person by the chief of the anti-Godzilla unit attached to the defense agency. He'll be one of the chief... We've received a report. Seismic activity. What if Godzilla had somehow managed to escape from the black hole we sent him into? You think it's due to Godzilla?

We'd like you to help us with it. Not a chance. I've had just about enough of lizards for now. Sorry. Right, I see. You mean your chicken. No, don't worry. I was only joking. After all, who could replace the marvelous kudo? Careful, we're talking about a broken arm here. Oh, sorry. What a whiny fucking guy. I know he has a broken arm. See, you don't like him now. See, you don't like him now.

He's that Bill Pullman-y fucking thing. Like, I end up hating him, see? That's the end of the movie, so roll credit. Cinema PsyOps. End! End! I'm only here for the fighting. And when McGarris dies, Monster Dead movie over. And then we have to... God, we have to sit through that forever. It's so much of the film of them just finally trying to get rid of Godzilla. And it looks like it works and they get...

rid of him this is a one-off movie every single one of these are one-off movies um i don't think the black hole thing should have worked i think godzilla's breath should have just like somehow overridden it and filled it up with all the energy that it needed but it should have made him like really sleepy and he should have just went back to the ocean and just chilled

Yeah, I mean, they kind of allude that it didn't work or that Godzilla will return. But this is definitely the most confused era of Godzilla where they just said, hey. Let's just fuck continuity and just do whatever we want. And to some degree, that's cool. And then to another one, it's like, well, you're just kind of setting these things up and then not delivering on them. Well, I kind of didn't talk about this on the episode.

I did with Darren for Godzilla 2000 which is the whole reason Godzilla 2000 got made is Godzilla 1998 starring Matthew Broderick sucked so fucking bad and it pissed off Toho so much they hated everything they did with it so much that they

Immediately had to put something out as quickly as possible to get rid of the tarnish on Godzilla before it completely ruined him in people's memories. Like, I think that's kind of why they started this Millennium series. And they were always feverishly fighting against...

fucking tuna head as they ended up calling him right like the zilla yeah they're always fighting against the negative aspects of zilla and what it's doing to the godzilla product in this millennium series from there on out that had repercussions that

echoed through the entirety of the Millennium series of Godzilla. They didn't recover from that for 15 fucking years. Yeah, and there's not much more I can say beyond that because I don't want to spoil anything for your future episodes. Right, but like we already talked about it. You're correct. Yeah.

They fucking reboot every time. They tried Godzilla 2000 just to get rid of the taint. People had some complaints about it or there were some things that people didn't like or maybe it didn't go quite the way that they wanted or for whatever reason.

They're like, you know what? Yeah, we set up a franchise to start again with Godzilla 2000, but we're going to stop that. We're just going to do this one. So they do Godzilla versus Megaguirus in 2000, like the following year. And it's literally like, okay, well, we're rebooting again. We're starting.

from the one that we know works. Everybody loves 1954 Godzilla. No one's questioning 1954 Godzilla. Let's go ahead and show people what we can do for a movie and we'll reboot this one. They throw a bunch of money at it. They throw a bunch of plot that they're trying to do with it and it just becomes confused.

and not focused and just the film that we got. It was just a giant mess. And I think my film next week, when we get into it, it's another one of those scrambles because this didn't do what they were hoping that it would do or for whatever reason. They do another reboot where it's just 1950. for Godzilla and that movie. And that becomes a thing. The Millennium series should have been called Reboot Quill because that's basically what it is.

Yeah, and they all kind of go, well, the original happened, and let's just make something new. Yeah, I think they were trying to let a bunch of hot filmmakers try something new. They throw a bunch of different stuff at all of these movies in the millennium.

And all I had to say to you, everyone that's going to be going through this with us is, yeah, it's going to be frustrating. Yeah, there's going to be some stuff that's really awful in some of this. Yeah, it's going to have some really terrible CG as well. But their fights are going to look good. Gorgeous. Everything's going to be incredible. And that's literally all that matters when it comes to the series because thing happened. It exists. Kaiju battle happened. Everything great.

I don't need anything else. Just give me the kaiju battles. Yeah, and I'd say everything just, it gets better from here as far as like the monster fights go. Yeah, I don't disagree with you. They keep ramping up the monster fights because that's the thing.

is they throw in the stuff that they know works and that's the monster battle so they throw a shit ton of money at it they do a shit ton of crazy stuff with it but they keep wrapping it around all of these like really drawn out human interest stories that are really fucking boring and then they just keep trying to reboot and doing something different and new so don't try and get a toehold on any of these movies just

Sit back, relax, press the I Believe button, and go for it with the Millennium Series because you're just going to get frustrated if you don't, like we were trying to explain this film. Word. All right. You said you did have a story time, so why don't we go ahead and take the break now? We're going to play on the Pirate Radio.

Pirate Radio Edit. Again, a song released from 2000. Just because I want to do something more fun, it's not going to be pop songs. So, going to pick the Vandals with the song Sorry Mom and Dad on the Pirate Radio Edit. And when we get back, we'll have dance story time.

I am trying to tell you, we have no idea of knowing if any of this technology we are mimicking from other dimensions even works beyond just exploding and killing our testers. If we can't tell if it is working properly or not, we don't know if the paradoxes will persist until the event...

horizon is crossed i really don't want to be rude but event horizons are for black holes i think you wanted to turn inflection point disturbing 47 minutes later i don't want to rush you but there are some We don't deliver on the... promises to manufacture and we can't make our products work as we state they will. There is a term for that.

I really like it when they flip shit on its head, like with this song where it's like, hey, you think your parents really, really fucked you up, but look what you've done. Look what you've done to your life. Look at everything. The sorry mom and dad thing. It's just, it's the shit. And playing it for a father going into Father's Day weekend is just perfect. So maybe that'll have something to do with your story time.

Story time. story time even when he's not on the show i play it live in full continuity for him oh it's so sweet yeah so okay my story time picture this i'm working at a comic book convention and they have an after party so my wife and i are hanging out with steve from ghost hunters and we're at the after bar party it's at a gay bar in madison wisconsin and we get there it's my first drag show ever when i walk in awesome right yeah and

Rumor had it that Joey Fatone was going to show up. Oh, wow. So we get talking with some girls, some younger girls at the bar, and they were all excited. Joey Fatone's going to show up. We can't wait for Joey Fatone. Time passes. Steve's off doing whatever. My wife's out dancing because that's what she likes to do. And I'm just kind of sitting at the bar next to these girls. In walks Joey Fatone.

They are too busy and preoccupied to notice him. And he's walking past and I'm like, I have to take... this opportunity right now. So because of the good graspers, right? I good grasp Joey Fatone. I do a grandpa grab on his arm.

and then i just say joe and he looks at me and his little entourage is like pissed and he's pissed off and i instantly let go i got his attention and then i said these girls over here they've been waiting for you they're very excited to meet you if you could just you know take a moment to say hi to them they'd really appreciate it and he goes what girls but they were right there still it was like they were still there and i was like them right here oh oh i get it yeah what girls right

Yeah, because he just saw me. But yeah, I totally grandpa grabbed Joey Fatone in a gay bar and... Not where I thought that story was going. When you said what girls, I thought they were going to be because you were there for your first drag show. I thought it was going to be your drag realization that, oh, no, you got fooled.

Oh, no, no, not at all. Those girls were still there. They got to meet them. It was fun. Oh, that's really sweet then. I'm glad that you did that. That was a really nice thing for you to do. Making sure that they actually got to see them even though they were distracted. Yeah, even though I put my own self. in danger but it was just I don't know I think it was like hey you know what I guess it was a dad reaction

Kind of. Yeah, that's a very dad thing to do because you knew what it would do to really like brighten the day for those girls that they would really, really appreciate it and that they were super stoked about it. So you made sure that it happened. Yeah, that makes sense. That's a really, really weird thing.

to have happen, though. Is there a particular reason why Joey Fatone was supposed to show up at this drag show? He was at the convention for some reason. Who knows? I don't know what he has to do with comic books or just that kind of nerd culture in general.

know i think they could just get a famous person there and then he just went to the after party yeah yeah that probably signatures they they usually do that for any kind of comic book convention anybody they can get in for signatures because that's really good money and they already have the infrastructure set up

for those conventions for that stuff. I don't know if that was the one that Stan Lee was at that my son just took a picture of him like through a crack and a curtain and was just totally happy with it. Like I got Stan Lee's picture and I was like, way to go, son. You didn't have to pay like 50.

bucks for it yeah that's the problem with the celebrity worship culture stuff that they have i mean i don't i try not to spend a whole hell of a lot if i can avoid it and i try to get all the signatures that i can through like charities auctions and stuff like

Our boy Gary from Cinema Beef does a lot of those fleas and flicks charities. Almost all my signed stuff or any of my memorabilia stuff that's like, you know, spendy, I at least try to do that because at least that way it goes through that auction, you know? And I mean, like, you know, the stars are also contributing.

and they get a little bit of a tax break from doing this stuff. Yeah, I got a couple through them in one of those auctions. I can't justify, I understand people that absolutely love Star Wars, but like $500, $600?

for Mark Hamill's signature of 400 bucks or whatever it is, what Shatner charges, like hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a meet and greet and a possible photo, you know? And then they treat people like shit. It's just like, no, no thanks, man. You know, I don't want to meet the celebrities. Early 90s. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Early 90s, I remember going to a pretty big convention, and you could just walk up to people and get their signature.

That's all it was. It was just very down to earth. And then I went to one, probably the next one I went to is like in maybe 2006. And I saw Ray Park at a table and I was like, oh, I'm just going to walk up and get a signature because he was Darth Maul.

And he ignored me. And I was like, what the hell is going on? And then I went to like somebody else's table, like maybe Lou Ferragno or whatever. And I got the same treatment. I was like, I don't understand what's happening here. And then it dawned on me, like, I have to pay just to even say hi to these people. And that seems wrong. Yeah. Yeah. It's an issue, but also it's a great way for...

An actor that may not be getting roles anymore that you absolutely love, like, you know, to get them some money in their pocket to go up and give them some money, too. So it really just kind of depends how you view it and what you feel your money's worth. But really.

I just, I, you know, some of the stories I've heard, like I always wanted to meet John Cusack. I always had a big, you know, I was a big fan of his. I loved a lot of his movies when I was a kid growing up, you know, Better Off Dead, all that kind of stuff. Kind of grew up with him, you know, as he went in and did all those other movies. And then, you know, he's a...

not very kind to his fans when they meet him like some people have some really really horrible stories because he's got some issues now apparently he's got some mental health issues and he's dumping it on people that are coming to see him apparently it does happen where like there's people that have you know i mean i understand

Man, everybody's a human being. Everybody has a bad day. But if you're going to charge me 40 bucks and treat me like shit, at least make me call you mistress at the same time. And maybe I don't want that. Just real quick, though. I hear Tom Savini gets irritated with fans, but having worked a table at a convention, I get it. By the end of the day, you're kind of tired and you just don't want to talk to people.

pool oh yeah i told like i said i understand people are like that it's totally a thing but you know there has to be some kind of a balance but anyway that was the story time that's really kind of interesting that you uh got to meet Joey Fatone at a drag show after a comic book invention and basically made it to where two girls got to meet him and didn't miss him from being so excited they're chatting with each other. Really cool.

All right. We're going to go ahead and play the show housekeeping now to close out the show. And immediately following that on the pirate radio edit, we will play from the year 2000, the Reverend Horton heat with the song Sue Jack Daniels. And when we come back, we will. this fucking show if you've decided we can't make our products work as we state they will there is a term for that marketing marketing is the activity of old business of promoting and selling products

or services, yes. Now, when one markets something is capable of doing specific goals and tasks, and the products are not capable of doing the things one says they will, what is your term for that? False. Very good, yes. What you are advertising is false. False advertising? That's bad? I think you get now why this particular regulatory commission and these fine officers are here, yes. I think we found a way to make this whole...

or false thing at once and verify if these machines can work or not? Interesting. We're talking about perception, right? We are talking about fraud, false advertising, and market manipulation. Perception? Not like that. Ethically speaking, yes. The company would appear to be committing multiple crimes braisingly out in the open, and inexplicably, no one will stop that from happening and just not perceive it as happening. Perception of false advertising without...

and accusation is the same thing as a paradox. Sounds good. Got more money to harvest now. We want to attempt to prove our paradox sustaining tech by being a fraudulent and criminal organization that harvest money and commits fraud. products that eliminate humanity and most likely don't work permanently and pretend to be a manufacturer of products that are geared toward maintaining the health and safety of humanity with luxury environmentally friendly

I suppose that paradox could exist and be proven for us to know what we are doing. Not sure how to prove it works. We turn on the machines, and they are Schrodinger's cat at this point. If the League of Evil Courts can't be bothered to do verification and acceptance testing, why should we be concerned with the results of their usage of our equipment?

None of it works. Everything just explodes or catches fire, as far as we can tell. Well, I just heard a horrible story while we're playing music about the Reverend Horton Heath that's going to make me really, really think twice about playing his music in the future, but...

Still a fan. I'm just going to listen to the music and separate it from the person from now on. That's how I'm going to have to do it. You can do that. Yeah. As a matter of fact, you can do that really, really well while you enjoy On the Pirate Radio Edit, also released in 2000. The song Judith from A Perfect Circle. Separate the work from that artist while you kick the fuck out of this weekend. Make it your bitch.

And yet everything is perceived to be working and we seem to keep building and selling these things. The thing that is in our way is this talk of regulations and oversight. Why should we have to prove our stuff works and that it won't just... explode every dimension and timeline will either have every witness eliminated or nothing at all will happen except for the explosions every regulation exists or it does not every guideline is followed or it's not things are

So black and white and definite with paradoxes. Why don't we make the biggest gray area of all time? and just see how it turns out. Worst case scenario is all this shit works and none of us ever exist anyway. So why not enjoy what we can, while we can, while we exist. The real paradox. Test is to prove that we can do and say both things at the same time, and if that will sustain. I do not think that the center will hold. We only need to sustain the call.

The concept of success and the perception of effectiveness. Anything else is woke anymore. I can't believe this is the sketch I was written for. This is just our fourth wall. I don't think there is any way to spin fraud. Can you hear me?

Okay, there's a little bit of a delay. And if you shut off your video, that'll improve your audio quality too. No problem. You don't need to see me anyway. Well, I'm used to not seeing Matt because we just basically, we streamline this as best we can. So it's totally fine.

plus there's a delay on their video that like i'm i'm hearing you before i see you so like that's gonna mess me up so it's better yeah is this better now yeah yeah you hear me okay everything sound good oh yeah all right perfect Recording in progress. Thanks. I'm so sorry about the delay, man. It has been a night for me. I'll tell you what.

Oh, I bet. It sounds like a lot. Yeah, well, a lot happened all at once. So what I'm doing right now is just get playback stuff set up because I didn't have that chance to get that done. But let me just do that real quick for yours. And then when we take a break, I can...

Do mine because you're going to go up first. Not too nervous, I hope. Are you kidding me? Like, I don't know. I've done this a billion times, but. Right. You've done it on your show a bunch, but. Which is not for you. Right. Like, I'm more concerned about me being. thing that's making you nervous more than anything you hear that okay yeah all right perfect so let me drop the volume a little bit on the songs so i don't blow your drums out with that yeah all right we are recording on all fronts

And you're coming through just fine on my side as well. So I think we're ready to roll if you are. Any other questions or anything before we get going? No, I'm going to record on my end too. Okay, yeah. I started that, so we're good. Okay, well, yeah, a backup is a backup. It's fine. I used to have Matt do that to where I would have a backup on his side, a backup on my side, but it all records to the cloud.

All right. I just took a hit. So let's get going. What do you say? All right. I got a beer going. So. All right. So three, two, one. We have a name. Excuse me. That's a monkey butts. You can cut that. You're doing great. I would have clipped all of this. Oh, man, when I was making clips for the next movie, I was like, holy shit, what is going on?

Yeah, sorry. I tried to communicate a little bit better that I only wanted you to do one of them, and I was actually going to do the notes from Aguirre. So I'm glad that I delayed doing the notes from Aguirre, because the day I was going to do them, you had them already done, and that's when we found out that...

you had started on GMK. And I was like, I was tempted. I was like, man, I should just let him finish it. He's almost like, you know, almost halfway done. And then I was like, no, I gotta, I gotta follow my sword for GMK. I can't make him do both of these. That's just ridiculous. It wouldn't have mattered. I don't know if I just read it wrong or what. I think I was just a little excited.

and i don't know i've been like just fun busy lately which has been good yeah well no i totally get it i'm i'm again i am super grateful that you were willing to do that and uh i i just was like taken aback by it a little bit like i was like well i asked you to

come on to my show and do the notes who basically asked you to do the bulk of the work for my show for two episodes and you like we're like yeah i can do that you didn't even like question like why when you thought that that was the case and that's just awesome anyway clips over let's go back in in three two one

Well, I'll take this. No, maybe not. We'll see. That will definitely get outtaken. And then this will get outtaken. Now I lost my train of thought, so why don't we just move on? Let's do that. No, no, I'm kidding. That was hard to say. I like the way it came out. Nice to you, so I'm having a harder time keeping you on track. I'm trying to remember where we were in this. I'm on clip 12, if that helps. Okay.

Okay, so I mentioned a couple that gets bumped off. Okay, anyways, alright, I found my spot. Cool. Oh, they're doing the fly. I just figured it out. That's what it is. They're doing the fly this time. They just changed it a little bit. In a very special episode. Godzilla versus Megiris. Yeah, no kidding. Or Megagiris, however you pronounce it. It doesn't matter. Yeah, you say Megagiris and I say Megiris, yeah.

Guy sounds like me at the beginning of our podcast. Hey, kid. I think it's a Mega Nulon. Shibuya. You heard him pronounce it. It's nothing like Wisconsin's show business. Is Sheboygan in Wisconsin, too? Oh, no. I think you guys might have covered, back when you were still doing some PSYOP news, I think you might have covered SheBusiness. It's the woman who kept attacking.

her lawyers and she was like fucked up on meth and beheaded her boyfriend and then fucked him and then like his mom ended up finding the head in a bucket yeah we did cover that on side Man, that takes me way back. That's been a while. That's fucked up. Yeah, and you know what? She's still up to the same business. Attacking lawyers.

Just happened in the news recently. It's the same lady. Yeah. She keeps attacking lawyers. I saw that. I didn't realize that that was the same lady from that. That's fucking crazy. Anyway, we got to get back to the notes.

I mean, I just, I just love that name. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we need to get back to your business and do the notes. We sure do. Three, two, one. Yeah. That's the end of the movie. Oh, so we roll credits. Yeah. I need you to say. Oh. I'm not going to play the Reverend Hurtney because you should know that one too.

Yeah, well, he's a Trump dumpster, so fuck him. Oh, he is? Yeah. Fuck. I had a friend who was, like, super into him, and then, like, he worshipped the guy, and he was apparently, like, got super Trumpy with, basically, a super fan online. And this is back in, like... I don't know, like during COVID. And he was just like, I'm done. It crushed that dude's world. Oh, I didn't know about that. He got a little weird during COVID. Yeah. All right. So let's come back in. Three, two, one.

The plot points are made up nonsense to the sketch. I fail to see the moral ramifications of continuing fraud in the context of the manufacturing of products that would manipulate space-time and eliminate humanity from ever existing. How is it a bad thing? if this shit doesn't work? If humanity never existed in the first place, how are we defrauding anyone? If this is all going away, why not have...

the best of everything for ourselves and let everyone else just suffer because it won't have happened in the first place. That is so much worse. You have to see how that is so much worse, right? Gray area is a perception. I would like to...

remind you that if these transmissions resemble your experiences of reality in any way it is because your reality has become so thoroughly broken down by the connection of the Mobius loop of annihilation that satire and irony has been eliminated from reality for you. Transmissions should not in any way resemble anyone living or dead that you may know. Get it? Got it?

Good. From a perfect circle, separate the work from that artist while you kick the fuck out of this weekend. Make it your bitch. All right, and then we're out, so I just have to stop my recording here. Recording stopped.
