    Oh yeah, there was some stuff in there that I had never really bothered learning, like the rubber glove in pine tar resin on the double bass, which is a fact I now love a lot.

    But all told it was probably like two minutes of commentary and I was hoping for something a little meatier, oh well

    I enjoyed the Masters of Monsters stuff but earlier that day I actually found this guy

    He's done videos on damn near every single Godzilla movie and they're all detailed and comprehensive histories of the genesis, development, and filming of each one, and it's been some fascinating stuff! Lots of great little nuggets, like the fact that Yoshimitsu Banno filmed all the scuba scenes in Godzilla vs Hedorah himself, and the sped-up footage in Godzilla Raids Again was an accident, but Ishiro Honda had oversight and he said they could use it

    I don't understand, but I approve.

    Also it looks like that channel at some point uploaded a bunch of the other assorted weird tie-in shows from the years, nice to see that stuff get preserved and shared instead of just tossed in a vault.

    Was at my local comic con and they had a Godzilla figure for 450. I think it was one of the rare ones because it didn't really look that cool in my mind. It did make me realize if I was going to get one it would be Shin. Not the classic but I think it is my favorite.

    Anyone else seen the horror show of a "mech" they made using Godzilla and some other IPs? You can see a picture here. https://gizmodo.com/shin-kamen-rider-evangelion-ultraman-godzilla-robot-toy-1850454428
    The individual figures look pretty damn bad in my opinion. Not interested, especially not at the price point of I think $170.

    I dunno, I give them props for making a real tokusatsu ass suit for the trailer. Also yes it looks exactly as dumb as a bunch of unrelated franchises frankensteined together should.

    You know, I'll comment on this having just binged it.

    Skull Island is pretty good! It's clearly set prior to Godzilla vs Kong
    it explains what happened to all the natives
    . I went in expecting a kids show as was surprised to find it's aimed at adults. There's a lot of monster kills and some mild gore. The creature variety is fun an interesting and while it takes a while for the big guy to appear he's got some great scenes.
    they back up godzilla vs kongs assertion that Kong is nearly human level intelligent. He apparently understands spanish

    Is it a resub worthy show? I mean yeah, if you're a kaiju fan or a legendary monster verse fan in particular its a really solid entry.

    I forgot that was even coming out this year

    So curious what that looks like in the wake of the Legendary films and Shin Godzilla, kind of still hoping for another horror/disaster angle but they could go silly again and I wouldn’t complain

    Is Godzilla a giant nuclear lizard? I picture him more like a nuclear giant lizard, you know?

    In English adjective order size comes before most other specific descriptors, however if Godzilla is a giant lizard full stop, you could possibly describe him as nuclear first

    I think then nuclear becomes an "opinion quality" such as delicious, angry, or selfless, which is an interesting connotation. Nuclear could be Godzilla's attitude/predisposition rather than a description of his relation to radioactive materials.

    Of course "Radioactive Giant Lizard" would then describe a Godzilla who has been Canceled
