Cinema PSYOPS

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 PsyOps.

10 years. Man 10.

10 years.

10 years Man 10 years. 10 years.

10. 10 years. 10 years.

What is the most likely way humanity will be wiped out? Maybe it's

something from 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 an was death due to heat are directly related

to global warming.

On top of the initial flash of thermonuclear light,

which is 180 million degrees, which catches every everything on

fire in a nine mile diameter radius. On top of the bulldozing

effect of the wind and all the buildings coming down and more fires

igniting more fires on top of the radiation if they happen to

have survived poisoning people to death. On top of all that, each one of

these fires creates a mega fire that is

a hundred or more square miles.

Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing.

The destruction has a nexus that centers on Cinema Psyops.

A breathtaking scientific revolution is taking place.

Biotechnology has been progressing at stunning speed,

giving us the tools to eventually gain control over biology.

Solving the deadliest diseases while also creating viruses

more dangerous than nuclear bombs able to devastate

humanity. It's man returning to the

most primal, violent state as people fight over

the tiny resources that remain. What if

the world we live in. Is just a dream or a simulation? Whether it's

a dream or some advanced computer game you are playing right now,

when it ends, you would be what causes the end of the world. Please do

us all a favor. Continue dreaming or playing this game of life.

Because when you wake up or unplug, there's a chance the rest of us.

Will be blaked out of existence. Timelines across the

entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction

has a nexus that centers. On Cinema s 10

years. 10 years. Hello.

And welcome to the 486th consecutive week of Cinema

Psyops. I'm your host, Cort, the guy that's super stoked to be talking

to you about the next giant monster fucking shit up film

in our series. And joining me in the joy of covering Godzilla raids again

from 1955 is my co host, Matt Woo. I love

Kaiju. Slowly but surely, over the course of our podcasting

career and me exploring more and more breath control,

I somehow have turned into an auctioneer podcasting.

Like, I just rattle shit off, like so fast. I hope people.

Yeah, like, if I ever do a review with that fucking just speed it up

as fast as I can go. Like, I'd have to really practice and like,

learn everything I write in advance and, like, not do notes when I'm

fucking stoned. Right. Yeah, right. Like, I got a double story time

for you. Like, you will not believe about the kind of fucking week that I

have had. Right. Oh, I. It's. I can imagine. I can't wait.

There's certain things that I obviously cannot talk about because,

yes, this show is all about escaping living in the stupidest

fucking timeline that has ever existed for at least as long as

we can make the show last. That's. That's our goal from here on out.

We're just going to talk Kaiju movies and try to have as much fun as

we can for the time that we have left in this stupid fucking timeline.

The dumbest fucking timeline that has ever happened.

Yeah, I didn't want to believe it. I'm very resistant to it. But now

I fully accept that I am living in the stupidest possible timeline

that has ever existed. The dumbest fucking timeline

we've ever been in. Well, yeah, that is absolutely true,

because this is the only timeline that we've ever been in. But this is the.

You don't know that. This is the dumbest of all timelines that we could have

ever been in. There you go. This is the dumbest fucking timeline

we ever could have been in. Yeah, for sure. Because again,

we're only in one timeline that we are aware of at any given point in

time. Unless we have the dumbest fucking one.

Absolutely no one is arguing that. But anyway, let's get back

to enjoying some shit. So Godzilla raids again is the follow up.

It's the next giant monst monster fucking shit up. Godzilla was a huge rage.

They got really, really popular. It was beloved all the

world around. Whenever it got released, it was renowned and they

decided to do it again and they decided to resurrect Big G, but they

do it in a really unique way. I'm going to do my best to

try and go with the notes as I can on this. I forgot

which movie I was actually doing the notes for until this morning. And I'll explain

why, because again, that's part of the week that I've had. So I actually

did notes for Godzilla without paying attention to the scheduling doc and

fucked up and then realized it this morning after getting

very little sleep that I needed to do the notes for Godzilla Raids again.

So this is going to be a fun episode to record because a

very, very sleepy, sleep deprived court took notes for Godzilla raids again and

is trying to 100% do this show. And I'll explain all

of it on my story time. Let's go.

Yeah. All right. So up first on the pirate radio edit,

before we get into Godzilla Raids again proper, we are going to have Bill Haley

and his comments with Rock around the Clock immediately follow. Following this.

This will keep you quiet. Oh, hi there. I didn't see you.

You call me cutting a new.

What the is going on,

dude? Millicent found out that we were made part of the

Legion Podcast Network, and now she's pretending like she's

possessed to try and get your attention again. We're on the Legion Podcast.

Yeah. Isn't that great, dude? We're on the network. The Legion

Podcast Network. We're in there with Cinema Beef, the Podcast

Stairs. Duncan and Bo come correct.

All these great shows, the Hail Ming Power Hour,

like everything, dude, that's in the Legion Podcast Network.

We're now a Legion Podcast Network

podcast. We're not alone anymore. We're not two scumbags

just doing a podcast. I've seen this porn.

Yeah, well, that's just because you're watching the lab video while she's doing this stuff.

Where the is Igor at? He usually takes care of her in this situation.

Is she sterilizing that crucifix?

That doesn't sound sanitary at all. You know, if she's trying to bring

you in on this, she's really going about it the wrong way because this is

actually more for me. I really think so.

By the way, could you throw a blanket over your lap, man? This is.

That's just. It's telling. Stick your cock up her ass, you motherfucking

worthless cocksucker. Okay, now she really is trying to entice

you. That sounds a lot like my wedding night. Anyway, so back

to this nature podcast thing. This is way awesome. I'm so

stoked, man. And we've worked with. With most of these guys. That's just like us

going home. Yeah, absolutely. Him. I don't want to Millicent,

Jesus. Me? No, I don't think that's going to work. Stop making

eye contact with me. It's just horrific,

man. It's a good thing that we have her tied up. Yeah, no kidding,

man. Those are good reinforced rope you got, by the way. I've always wanted to

ask you, where'd you get all this thick rope? Wholesale, at Home Depot.

No one asks any questions, huh? No, you would think that the weird combination of,

like, you know, knives, box cutters, saw blades,

powerful acids, all the stuff that I buy, but they never even blink twice.

Me, Yeah, I. I get it, Melissa, you're not going to get us

into this. It's just not going to happen,

man. In 1955, I don't think people were ready for that kind of shredding

on the guitar, but their kids are going to love it.

They weren't ready. They weren't ready for that.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, I get that your kids are going to love it. Yeah,

I know. It was a reference I had to do. Why not? Why not?

What the hell? Yeah. While we're speaking about things that we need to get going,

why don't we talk about Godzilla raids again?

Word up. All right, so the film opens with a

guy flying a plane, guiding a fishing trawler.

So he's, like, spotting schools of fish for them to be able to harvest out

of the ocean. He notices the subtitles. It's spelled

B O N I, T O. I'm thinking Bonito is the type of fish I

think is how that should be pronounced, maybe. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So another

pilot has engine failure, who is also spotting fish,

and makes an emergency landing on a nearby island. The hero,

which I'm not going to try and pronounce the name, is sent to rescue the

guy who crashed, which I will pronounce the name of Kobayashi.

If I don't think I can do it, I'm not going to do it.

I'm just going to nickname people because I am terrible at Japanese, like,

pronunciations for names. I'm so. I really do. I.

If you notice, I could really only do the kind of the three main characters

of my last movie. Right? I could spell it out phonetically in my notes

and still fuck it up. Like, I'm just not even going to try. Like,

and it's just the only way that I can try and be respectful is to

just, like, name the characters. Like, I always do when I don't want to learn

names. Agree. Same. Okay, so they

both are there on the island whenever our Hero sets down to rescue him.

And they both encounter two giant dinosaur monsters locked

in the battle. So it's the big G, somehow is back.

Like, this is obviously Godzilla. That's who. They know him from the previous movie.

This is after they did all of that. And then there's this new stegosaurus

or like aliasaurus kind of mixture looking creature

that runs around on all fours that's battling us. The pilots barely

escape as the monsters are fighting. They actually fall into the ocean.

And I'm assuming they continue to fight underwater. It's just that they're away from these

two guys, so they feel safe and take off. Yeah. The pilots travel

back to Osaka to help the professor from the first movie,

which I don't remember his name, and I just refer to him as the professor.

And if I tried to write his name down again, probably couldn't pronounce it.

So therefore he is the professor. The Professor. Yeah. He is with the authorities who

are investigating that encounter with the new monster. They go through this whole

entire description of how the new monster could exist and what era he

may be from. It is identified as an Ankylosaurus or is

just named Anguirus. Yes. I can name the monsters because I hear the name so

many goddamn times. Sorry. Right.

The doctor who's doing the presentation is

Yamane, another zoologist that's doing this. He shows

the authorities footage of the first Godzilla attack and notes that it was killed

by the Oxygen's destroyer. But the inventor is also dead. So we're getting a

recap of what happened there in the first film. And he bas or

lays out that they are shit out of luck to defeat this particular Godzilla

and the new monster that shows up this Anguirus. Yes. Our professor

from the first film suggests that issuing a citywide blackout

and evacuations of areas closest to where he would land

or possibly take a path through the city to be able to go to the

other side to cross the land. However that's going to be.

That needs to be evacuated. And then he also suggests that they

could probably lure Godzilla away from heavily populated areas

using drop flares to lure him, because he's very sensitive to light.

And they noticed that from the first film that he's very reactive to light.

And that's a strategy that they could use. Why the professor didn't

do this in the first film, I don't quite get.

They just realized about it. Yeah. They didn't give it

enough time. They just jumped right to let's murder the giant thing. And now they

have to find a way to live with it. Because they can't get rid of

this one. Yeah. Because, well, shit,

we don't have a big bomb. Yeah. Our main pilot

hero's girlfriend Tom about her fear for

Osaka to him, and he talks about how he thought

about her when he thought he might die on the island. They watch as the

Japan Air Self Defense Force take

off to find Godzilla. But the scientists discuss that it is going

to be tough finding Godzilla because Godzilla is

probably hiding somewhere in the caves in the seabed. When Godzilla is

finally spotted heading to the Key Channel, the pilot's

boss states that if Godzilla wreaks havoc in those waters, their fishing

company will lose money because it will damage the ocean stock of

fish. The reports from the. It's all about money. Yeah. The reports

from the radio are trying to predict Godzilla's path and call for evacuation

in areas near where he is suspected to be heading. The whole of

the people in the room within this fishing company are worried

about their livelihoods, while one comic relief lady

is sad about not being able to actually eat the fish if they're not captured.

We then see it, as predicted, that Osaka and Koby can sigh with

relief as Godzilla appears to be moving away from them. This starts a

sequence of the city all lit up at night, and a sweet crooning

slow dance happens with people out for what appears to be dinner

and dancing, having a lovely time and just being all romantic.

And I think our main dude pilot is there with his lady, who is very

clearly into him. And they are very into each other, obviously.

I mean, come on, man. Love. I declare this in my notes to be some

serious film padding. Before I can really write even that

down, you basically get this because. All right,

so it's a little bit of padding, but at the same time, it is.

You have to see the life that is at stake. They still have to ground

you in the reality of it. And this is their way of life now,

where they're all just trying to exist and be happy. And once again,

that horrible monster with its atomic power comes looning

over them once again. Godzilla is still us here, folks. Yes,

Godzilla's still here. He's still with us. You may be in love,

but Godzilla's also in love with destruction.

There's alert issued for the Osaka region as Godzilla changes

course back for Osaka Bay. They're guessing it's probably because the city was all

lit up at night. The jsdf, or Japan Self

Defense Forces cut off the lights in the city and

lure Godzilla with flares away from the city. While this is being announced

to the people fleeing in the dance, they're kind of cutting back and forth.

This then starts into a montage of the lights going out,

fighter jets flying over the bay and the city city, heavy artillery vehicles

and tanks being wheeled into place to be able to shoot at Godzilla if

he were to arrive on land. And that is the end of the first third

of the film. Good times. A good opening

third. Much like the original Godzilla.

Fucking open strong, kept strong, is strong.

The monsters just showing up and having the battle that they

have where you just see them like their very first appearance

is just them throwing down and trying to murder each other is

a really bold choice, but is actually really cool because it gives you that same

shock of when Godzilla pops his head up over the mountain. It kind of recreates

that really well. And while I am not going to deny that there's a

lot of things that they're like doing the greatest hits from the previous movie,

I can't say I blame them because they're going with what works. They made the

film ever so slightly shorter. And most of the film was devoted to

the monster fights. They last for a very long time in this.

And I cannot complain about any of that. No, like you said,

go with what works, man. Go with what got you here A lot

of times. And I get don't do the exact same thing, but also don't

do 180. It fucking doesn't help. No,

this. Go ahead. It usually destroys your fucking

base. Fans who, you know what they want.

I like what they're doing here where they're not adopting as dark and as

somber as a tone because they're now trying to find a way to live with

the monster that destroyed them using atomic power, which is us.

We are the monster, which is us. They're trying to figure out how to live

with the United States. Yeah, that's essentially what we're talking about here.

Like how do you live with the thing that's going to constantly be a threat

of killing you? One of the things that we need to mention, I keep saying

the Japan Self Defense Forces after

World War II, they weren't really allowed to have a military again. Like that

was part of the peace treaty. But they're allowed to have Self

Defense Forces. They're allowed to have like coast guards and things

like that. That's why they're referred to as Self Defense Forces. They may look

like military and have military equipment, but it's literally just

for them to be able to Defend themselves. The whole deal was we be their

military, the United States. Right. And so considering

that Godzilla is showing up and fucking shit up

for them and they have to use self defense forces against them,

this is very thinly veiled. Yes,

yes. That maybe they're not so happy that they're so beholden to

their former enemy. Yeah. I mean, Nakasaki and Hiroshima

alone should have been like, you know, enough for them to

hate us for all eternity. Right. All eternity. Right.

We dropped two nukes on them. I mean, it can take a long

time to get over that kind of shit. Yeah. And the devastation that nuclear

attacks actually bring is. I mean,

no one had any idea what was going to happen before the first one.

Everyone knew what was going to happen after the second one. And the second one

is the one that is far more egregious because you already know how awful and

devastating it is. Yeah. And the oxygen destroyer is an analog of that.

And yeah, I mean, listen, we. We made a big go boom boom.

And before we knew what big boom go boom boom could do, we decided to

fucking use it. And yeah,

probably not Responsible war makes people

do crazy shit and corruption makes people do crazy sh. So there

you go. Yeah, and we had plenty of both for that.

Okay. We brought the dour back into this film, so why don't we get back

into the fun parts of the film? All right. The middle third

starts with Godzilla being spotted in the bay and the Air Force

using flares to attempt to draw him away from the land as the

ground artillery gets prepared to gun at him as a deterrent.

They're hoping that if they throw enough gnats at him, he'll get annoyed and just

turn around. He'd be like, yeah, why do I want to go over here,

man? Look at all the gnats. Fuck that. The bigwigs are informed that

areas are being evacuated. And these areas that are being evacuated

are the ones that they suspect Godzilla is headed in the path currently.

And we witness this mass migration away from those

areas that are suspected to be stomped, as it's all happening here.

Right on screen, Godzilla is led away from

the city successfully by the plans with the flares. And we see

our pilot hero dropping his love at her home for safety

and then leaves with his pilot buddy to meet the boss, her father, at his

cannery. This blackout seems effective, as everyone at the cannery

is happy at what's going on. And they cut from this to

convicts on a transport jump the guard in back with

them, grab his gun, shoot out the lock on the door and make

a break for it before the truck even comes to a stop. In what turns

out to be a shootout and foot chase with guards in the front. They run

off on foot and lead police and guards and more shootouts.

Some get shot and get caught and dragged back to the truck. Three break right

and two more break left. And are pursued by two more guards on foot.

The three that break right we see steal a big ass oil

or gas truck of some sort. And the cops commandeer our

pilot hero's car to chase after them. That chase

ends with the convicts crashing into an oil refinery,

triggering a giant goddamn explosion. That explosion

obviously lures Godzilla back to Osaka, forcing the

Japan self Defense Force to attack Godzilla. And Geras

emerges and fights with Godzilla. This is suspected to

be because of the flares. Later, the monsters create

a gigantic battle throughout the industrial park

and completely flatten everything within the bay, destroying the cannery

with Godzilla's blast. This is an epic monster fight.

They roll around and wrestle like. This is the start

of what people think of when they think of Kaiju movies of

two people in a suit rolling around through a model, destroying cities and stuff like

this. This is the very first one. And it does. It feels like

wrestling of the time a little bit with the way that they're doing throws and

moves and some of the attacks, but they're also attacking like anim animals with bites

and everything like that. Yeah, it's good,

man. This is what you love about giant monster fights.

It's exactly what you're looking for. And it set the standard.

And every kid who has watched these and saw that it was just two

people in a suit smashing into each other and into models that are surrounded by

them. Wanted to do this and do it on film themselves. They wanted to

start building shit out of cardboard and do this. Yeah. And then destroy it.

I mean, a video game was made out of it.

Multiple video games were made out of it. But I mean, you know the popular

arcade game Rampage? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Rampage.

Yeah. And that was made into a goddamn movie.

So the cannery boss states that Anguirus was attracted by

the flares. This is his suspicion that were meant to lure Godzilla

away. My guess is it's probably either the explosion or just

Godzilla being up on land and stomping. Or maybe Godzilla just

came here and Anguirus was pursuing Godzilla the entire goddamn time. There's really

no way to fucking know. I think they just give you one possible explanation.

Because when giant monsters are fighting in a city and destroying it, if you question

the route rationale that maybe the flares actually attracted the second one. You're looking

at the wrong stuff. Yeah, you're not. You're not doing this right.

Most of the city is getting leveled by the monster fight. As this is a

real. What I have in my notes as Kaiju slobber knocker.

It's a Kaiju slobberknocker.

Right? I mean, that's a little hillbilly of me, but yeah, that's basically what happens.

I mean, but it's exactly right. Then thrashing around

and smashing land and the bay alike somehow causes a

flood in the subway, killing the convicts that were fleeing through all

of the entire time and thinking they were going to get away in the chaos.

Yeah, everyone really thought that they were going to be able to do something

here. I don't know the name of this place, but I think it's a temple

of some sort. That's where Godzilla and Anguirus end up.

It's something that. It's an obvious historic landmark. This place gets destroyed

multiple times in these films. Right? So it's constantly. Yeah,

so it's obviously a historical landmark that they keep coming back to in

Osaka. And Godzilla and Geras are battling in towards

the historical landmark on the outskirts of it. And then Godzilla

kills Anguirus with a massive neck chomp with blood and everything.

After plowing his ass through the historic temple tower, he runs into

him and just shoves him and then pushes him up against the tower.

And you watch the tower break. They do animations on the tower to make it

break. And then you see the suits go through it. And then as he hits

the ground, he gets ahold of Anguirus in such a way that he does that

massive neck chomp where it's the whole of Godzilla's mouth all over his neck.

And in this you actually get to see the blood flowing out. Like they go

full on gore in this with it too. Yeah, it's just awesome. Like it's all

in one motion. Then he drops him down to the ground, lets them sink into

the ocean, fires off the atomic breath everywhere and

just burns God damn everything in sight

before returning to the sea. After making sure that Anguirus body is burned

and pretty much burns everything else around that area with his atomic breath just

to kind of let off some steam. Then they cut from this to the

aftermath with the cannery boss moving operations to another

area. I think it's Hikado. I couldn't pronounce that. I didn't hear how they Pronounced

it to try and get that in the notes. And they're going to make full

use of the fisheries in the cannery that is there and they have some office

space and everything. So it was a two location place where

they were running the boats out of. They're just going to run the boats out

of one bay now and move everybody there to try and

keep their production going and to not lose any money. And our hero pilot is

immediately sent out to guide the trawlers to begin work. There they begin

cleanup sequences, really driving home the horrific devastation

that these creatures are capable of once again. Luckily we don't have to see all

the widows and orphans and the wailing and the mashing of the teeth. It's just

enough to see the destruction of the buildings and they let us realize how serious

things are with that. So it's not quite as somber of a tone, but it's

still like, yeah, people are dead. Lots of people are dead because of this.

Yeah, lots of, lots of people are not having a good time right now.

And yeah, it's all fun and games and I,

you know, in the newer, I guess in the newer

Godzillas like or Kaiju movies, they don't really pay attention

to the human devastation like these older ones did. So I appreciate the

older ones showing kind of like, hey, it's all fun and games and the monsters,

but you're, you, your family, everyone's all having a bad

time right now. Well, in some of the movies, depending upon where they go,

people start living around the monsters by having shelters and

things like that. And they actually show better evacuation and detection processes.

And in some of the movies they literally just leave the monsters on an island

to battle it out and stuff. So. Yeah, but you're not wrong there.

All right, so after, after some talk of how inept at love the

Kobayashi dude is with the people in the company,

they all laugh and pile in on him making jokes about how terrible

he is at finding love. And he's just digging all of this and fine

with the attention, even though they're all making fun of him. And it cuts to

the new base of operations and a snow covered one at

that. There are more jokes being leveled about the marriage prospects of Kobayashi

and how he's so helpless he needs a go between to negotiate with women to

marry him or something along those lines. Some cold blooded shits being

told here. Yeah, but he, he's even throwing shade on himself in this. Like he's

like a real king of self deprecating humor. Yeah, I mean it's fun.

As long as he's doing it, you know, then it's fine.

It's like I can give myself shit, but if the rest of you guys keep

giving me shit and I'm not enjoying it, then I got a real fucking problem.

It cuts from that to some plane flying action and then cuts

back to the boss and then to a ship about to harvest a massive amount

of cod. They all see the Kobayashi guy flying above them and

wave at him for reasons because they all like him. Then there is

talk of a special nuptial sake and a dinner of some sort from the

father because apparently he has accepted a marriage proposal.

Possibly. And then there's more flying and ships out fishing when

a message is dropped that is a complete waste of resources.

Kobayashi, why would you fucking do this? Because it just says I hope it's

a big call. That's it. You didn't help them spot anything. You just wasted their

time to say you hope. It's just like, thanks a lot for

all your assistance. It's impressive that you were able to drop a message onto

the deck of that plane so precisely while flying above it

at such a speed. That is very impressive, Kobayashi. But couldn't mess

with that. You should be celebrated for that.

Yeah, absolutely. But it's just a waste of your resources to do such a thing.

Just to tell them you hope it's a big haul. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean,

you know, sometimes you got to have the waste so you can just show shit

up. Kobayashi gets a call to return to base because

the young lovers are making their way to the dinner.

And this dinner must have something to do with that whole nuptial spiritual

sake thing that they were talking, talking about. And there's some kind of a talk,

a surprise for someone at the dinner that's happening for the company and that

leads to the end of the two thirds of this flick. So we're two thirds

of the way through and we're going to have our final push after this.

Yeah. All right. Well, I mean, and now you're getting a lot more

human story still. The Kaiju battle was epic.

And you know, that's just what you want.

And how. How you what all of that to how

you always want your giant monster battles to go. That's my favorite part

of Kaiju is two different Kaijus all fight one

another. That is exactly how I want that.

I like a monster free for all battle where like just everything's

getting wrecked and multiple monsters are fighting. Yes. I'm not

a huge fan of like needing, like the entire universe of monsters on earth

to battle off one giant monster. That's, like,

incredible. And then seeing that same monster come back and then Godzilla defeats

him on his own, you know, like. You mean like King. King.

The way they handle King Ghidorah is weird. Yeah. It's like, follow your

own rules for how powerful your beasts are that have to. That Godzilla has to

face. But in the end, Godzilla pretty much always has

to win whenever Godzilla is the good guy. And in this case,

Anguirus being destroyed by Godzilla and watching it

just die in front of them. I'm not sure who Anguirus is

supposed to represent or if there is some representation of that other than just one

atomic power defeating another atomic power, while Japan is just left

in ruins in the wake without getting any help and having to constantly

rebuild. What year was this again? 1955. Korea.

1955. Yeah. You're in the middle of the Cold War. Yeah. Like, it's.

It's. So that. That could be. That could be definitely, like,

well, shit. Right. Like I said, I'm not so sure that

this is a sequel is really as heavily on the allegory. I think they're dropping

the allegory parts of this. And it's more or less just

the allegory just exist in that these giant monsters represent man's

ability to destroy itself through its own stupid

means and just creating more and more horrific ways of destroying itself.

Like, that's. That's what these creatures represent. And I like that it's

us trying to live around the. And, you know, sort of lure

away and distract the problem from destroying us

again. Like, that's. That's. That's probably the allegory right there

is we have to entertain the giant monster and shut off all the lights

and keep it from noticing us. Otherwise. Yeah, Right. Come back and

destroy us again. Like, there's some symbolism there that I think may have gotten

woven into the story. And of course. Yeah. The two monsters fighting

one another, you know, Russia has the bomb, so we could all die

again, just because these two countries, who we don't have a problem with either

one of them, decide to say fuck it. Yeah, that's very, very much.

Could be what's prevalent on their mind with that as well.

Yeah. Again, even if you just take it at that, it's just two giant fucking

monsters fighting and there's no symbolism in it at all. It's still the

idea that not only did the world fuck up, the world

fucked up so bad in creating an atomic giant Monster,

but also an equivalently sized giant monster of different origin

also has now surfaced and is battling. And.

And now you got double the dose. And I gotta confess,

whenever Anguirus is killed, I lose interest in this film because then it's

just them trying to find a way to subdue Godzilla again. And we've seen that

before. You know what I mean? Like, that has happened before. You just

kind of. Now you're just kind of. Oh, shit. All right, here we go.

Back. I mean, I think maybe the other giant monster

could hung out a little bit longer. Yeah, I feel like.

I feel like the stuff where they're getting ready to go to the restaurant and

the stuff that happens in the restaurant and all of this stuff, it's. It really

is like you get to see them try to get their life back to normal.

Yes. But also it kind of like, once you get the big monster fight

that you have and Anguirus is dead, it's all kind of a letdown after that.

And it's like, why draw this out anymore? You should have had

that fight after the shit at the restaurant. Right. Like,

they decide to go on with life even after everything is destroyed,

but Anguirus is still alive. And then there's one more fight with Anguirus, and then

they try to trap them both, but Godzilla kills Anguirus before they trapped.

Right. Or something. Yeah. You know? Yeah. No, I mean, you're. You're exactly right.

It's just. Yeah. It's just in Garrett's. That should have been like a

boss fight. I mean, it was a boss fight. It's just the boss fight happens

way too early. And then we're. Yeah, yeah, we're back to more of the same.

Like, well, how do we. How do we trap or deal with Godzilla? Right?

Like, how do we distract Godzilla? And I guess when I say

boss fight, I mean like the end fight. That should have been the end

game. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. We're saying the same thing, just in a

different way. Yeah, sure. Why don't we. Yeah. Why don't we move on to the

final third and finish this off? Let's. Let's. Let's do it. All right, so the

final third starts at the company dinner we were mentioning earlier,

where there was supposed to be some type of nuptial sake for some special

surprise. And the main pilot guy

reunites with a friend of his who I think is Tayyama or Tejama, a friend

who is from college, and they were together in the war.

Kobayashi hints to Hideme, the daughter of

the cannery guy that he has fallen in love with

a certain, certain woman and that he can't reveal it at the

dinner just yet. The dinner is interrupted by news that a ship

was sunk by Godzilla. And then they cut to the following morning.

Our main hero dude helps with the Japan Self

Defense Force searching for Godzilla and tracks

the location of the monster to Kimiko Island.

Kobayashi departs to aid our main hero pilot,

but leaves his notebook behind that he's been hinting at that there's a special

woman that he's fallen in love with. Hide peeks at the notebook and discovers a

picture of herself inside of it. So we know that he was actually going

to propose to her, but she was very much more interested into the main hero

pirate instead. So that's a little bit of extra heartbreak. Another love

triangle. Kobayashi attempts to stop

Godzilla from escaping, but is struck by

Godzilla's atomic breath. And then he crashes his plane into the mountaintop,

which ends up killing him. The crash creates an avalanche that engulfs

Godzilla, inspiring the Japanese Air Self Defense

Force to bury Godzilla with a much bigger avalanche

because they lack the firepower. The Japanese Air

Self Defense Force returned to base to reload missiles and Tayami

reluctantly accepts Tatsuki's request to

take him with them. The Japanese Self Defense Force creates

a wall of fire to block off Godzilla's escape using a bunch of barrels,

while they also trigger avalanches at the same time

blasting the mountaintop so they have fire underneath to continue to melt the snow

away that they're trying to bury him in as well. I'm not how that would

work, right? Yeah. I don't know if that's. I don't sense that being

good. Godzilla exhales one last massive atomic breath

before being completely buried by the last avalanche triggered

by our main hero. Relieved. Our main hero lets

Kobayashi's spirit know that they have finally defeated Godzilla

with a final passing phrase. And then we roll Credits.

Cinema PsyOps 10 years.

10 years. Again, a little bit sadness

there, because one of the love interest guys and you do feel like

the jami or whatever her name is the daughter of

the cannery guy. Which again, before it was the professor and his

daughter with the other guy that wanted to marry her and Serizawa she was pledged

to be married to at the time as well. And there was that love triangle.

And then Serizawa dies. In this case, there's two guys that were suitors.

One that went through the proper channels and actually asked. And then the other

one who is bucking tradition and we're seeing it again,

a bucking of tradition where they should be marrying for love

and not by prearranged marriages. So, yeah, a lot of stuff

being worked into here to kind of like modernize

and talk about the more modernized version of Japanese society,

I guess, is what's happening here with the monsters dragging them back

to the Stone Age and destroying their shit, which once again is us.

Yeah. And then, you know, trying to get through their

own fucking deep rooted misogyny. Right.

There's all of that built into this film as well. And it's.

It's a lot deeper than you would definitely expect for just a movie about

giant monsters fucking shit up. Which is again, one of the things that I absolutely

love about Godzilla movies, their ability to do just that is to

take stories of such a high concept nature and

then wrap some allegory around it if you really look for it. And most,

if not all of these films have that where it's very much Grimm's Fairy

Tales, where it's very dark, it's very gruesome. But there's a lesson

to be learned there if you make it through the story. And oh, did I

mention you get to watch giant monsters fuck shit up. Which is always awesome.

And there ain't nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, this film is definitely a step up in special

effects. There's a lot more stuff that they build and smash up.

They. This is kind of the template that you'll see later on. There's even some

discussion whenever they talk about Anguirus, where they actually set

up, that these giant monsters actually need more than one brain cluster

to be able to operate because they're so big the signals won't be able

to travel. So they actually have multiple brains. Like they mentioned that

with Anguirus, where he has like one nerve cluster that acts

like a brain, like at the base for his back legs and things like that,

and one that is at the top and that that's why he keeps moving,

taking excessive amounts of damage or something along those lines. And they end up

kind of retconning that into Godzilla's physiology in later movies as well,

where they try to explain that because these creatures are so giant,

they actually need what we would consider brain clusters in

multiple sections of their body to keep it all communicating at once and in sync.

Yeah. If it's like these like nerve pulse modifiers or

something like that that like sort of like amplify the signal

all across the body at once and work in conjunction, which is interesting,

you know. Yeah, no, I Agree. And I always.

One thing I really like that you said in last week's

movie about how we're Godzilla, you know, we're the nuclear

fear. And I didn't really think of that. And then to watch this week's

movie and then put together that, well, now it's 1954, Russia has

the bomb, the height of the Cold War has begun, and now Japan

has to worry about two huge monsters battling each other.

Have no problem with Tokyo or Japan or anything, but because they hate

each other, it could lead to the destruction of Japan. And that's

actually a really fucking cool fucking meaning and shit like

that. I like that. Yeah. It's 1955 when this is released,

and that is definitely when the Cold War really starts amping up.

And Japan is literally locked in between these two

giant monsters with nuclear powers. Yeah. And they're the. And they're

uniquely qualified to think this, seeing how they're the only country we

ever anybody's ever used nukes against.

Yes. Jesus. Yeah,

sorry, guys are bad. Yeah,

yeah, it's. Do they make a card for, sorry, we nuclear

obliterated two of your cities? I don't think they do. I don't think Hallmark has

that. If they did, it would be an extremely poor taste anyway.

Yeah, probably. I don't know. I don't know how to do this stuff,

so I'm just uncomfortable. No, it's totally fine.

Like I said, you can dig into those deeper levels if you really want to,

but when I was watching these as a kid, I was just watching giant monsters

fucking shit up. And you can absolutely enjoy it on that level as

well. The one thing that I will not accept as an argument is

that you cannot enjoy how well done

these special effects are for the time and how much the pseudomation

stuff actually works in tricking your brain in watching giant monsters.

And it does it on,

like, the very serious premise of when you watch it,

you know how much fun the actors are having in the suits, even though they're

suffering to make this stuff happen. It's also going to be a shit ton of

fun to pretend you're a giant monster and smash buildings that are smaller than you.

Everybody loves that idea. And that's part of what makes these films so

enjoyable and so rewatchable is just picturing being

able to be in that suit and do that wreckage, even though, you know you

would suffer to be doing it. You know, that has to be a. Shit ton

of fun sometimes when they say people suffer for their art.

Right. But I usually, no matter how hot the suit is, no matter how miserable

it is, no matter, it's got to be fun. No matter how many times they

set you on fire, the first time you get to smash into a giant fucking

building and just wreck that shit and just like get to see the playback

after you jump out of the suit is going to be so much goddamn fun.

It would be worth it. You know what I mean? Well, think of people who

cosplay. It's the same thing, more or less. It's a way to have

fun and pretend to be something that you're not to feel. Yeah. Does it,

is it probably uncomfortable sometimes? Sure, I'm sure it

fucking is. But I come on, man, let's have

a good time, you know, but it's also fun. It's. You have to dress up,

you get to be somebody else and that doesn't fucking, you know,

happen a lot. Yeah, I'm glad you're pro cosplay as well like this.

Just sometimes I would never be able to

do what they do because I do not have the temperament to like

try to get everything together and I do not have the artistic ability.

But fucking A, I respect the ones who can. It's good shit. Yeah, I absolutely

agree. All right, so let's get into my story time. So we're going to take

the break here. We're going to play on the pipe pirate

radio edit from 1955, the band the Platters with the song

the Great Pretender. And when we come back, we'll have my storytelling.

Father. Yeah, I gore. Well, it's about goddamn

time. Where have you been? Keep away. I take care

of her now. Yeah. Please now kindly undo

these scratch. Don't get her on a door. I do.

Good job. I feel like I'm watching relatives

having sex right now. This is weird. You kind of create both

of them. So it's like you're watching your children have sex. It's awkward

for you. I know, it's really weird. Hey,

mother's in here with it. Would you like leave a message?

She's talking about on IM. I don't know how Ms. Would has it,

but she's got a laptop opened up with IM on it. Wow, she's really

good at male multitasking sex. This is weird. Your mother sucks

in hell. Oh, she's doing dirty talk for

him to make him finish faster. I gotcha. I've never seen

a put together man laid pipe like that. You, you build yourself a fine

man there. Oh God.

He is very good at using him. Oh, why is she looking at me when

she's saying that. Him. She looking at both of us.

I'm not climbing in there. I'm not. That's not happening.

Man. That song really got me sucked in there. Yeah, me too,

dude. Holy shit. I was like, whoa, this is good. Yeah. Yeah.

There's a lot of really great fucking crooner songs from the late 50s that,

like, we just have forgotten about because it's goddamn so long

ago. Right. Yeah. I mean, what a. What a.

I mean, not for everyone, of course, but what an interesting

time that would have been to live back in the 50s. Yeah.

Interesting. I guess mainly for you and me.

Not. Not. Not so much anybody else. Yeah. White straight

men. It would have been great for. But everyone else would have probably had a

bad time. Yeah. Interesting times are not always the best to live. And I would

much rather. There you. There you go. And that's it. Yeah. What interesting times to

live in. And that is the best way to put it. Not good.

Not good. Just interesting. Let's hear about my current living in interesting

times story and our. Yes. Story time.

Story time.

Story time. Okay, so I already said that I got

very little sleep. So this is basically how it happened.

I woke up on Friday, we're recording on Saturday this time

around. And slammed down two espressos

that I made myself here at home. Yeah. Work from home on Friday.

Slammed out a bunch of work. Got caught up as best I could

after having. Well, what everybody else in the United States

is probably feeling is one of the worst weeks that they've had in a really

long time and really had a hard time getting motivated previously.

This Friday actually was feeling pretty good and I was getting caught back up for

some of the work that I missed, for some shit that I had to deal

with. Let me just put it that way. A lot of things,

everyone. Yeah, Stuff and things. Right. And as

anyone knows, it's a very turbulent time where I currently live

in Earth.

Yeah. I was always sad that I can never do my.

I suppose I could have, but it just wouldn't make any sense. But now that

the. The queen has passed away. But usually

during those times, I always like to do the post a picture of her

meme and say, the colonies are getting rowdy again. And the colonies

definitely got rowdy again. Yeah. Yeah. And it made

life rough for me for multiple reasons.

For the last two weeks, it's not been great, and I'm not going to really

get into that. But anyway, woke up, had a really good day.

There was a friend that wanted to get together because he also has been having

a very bad couple of weeks. So we all got together

and I bought. Bev wanted to stop

off on the way to this friend's house at the new store that just opened

up in town. There's like a total wine that just opened up here in Omaha

and they had to like spend $100, get $40 off coupon.

That's of course going to get booze hounds in the door. Of course you get

$100 worth of booze for 60 bucks. Well, they happen to have

Delta sodas there, and I've been sampling a few here and there.

And you remember how I told always been finding some that are weak or not

great or whatever. Yeah, it seems like they're all about 5 milligrams of

THC, even if they're delta 9. That's hemp derived. They're about 5

max of THC per each of these sodas. So the more liquid you

have and the only. More like with only 5 grams of

THC in there, the less effective they're going to be. So I actually

found these smaller cans that were five and five. Five that CBD and

five, that's thc. It's legally hemp derived. Was able to buy it in

the store here locally in Omaha, and we went to my friend's house with it

and I bought two four packs because I was like, oh, yeah, I'll try them.

I'll see them later. But then I thought, well, there's other people there that might

want to try them too. So I just was like buying them for everybody.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I didn't realize this,

but the THC drinks were iced tea flavored

and then Arnold Palmer flavored. They're Hop the Wave. They were actually

pretty decent. If you want to check them out and find them yourself. They're online

somewhere. You can get them and I think you can legally order them that way.

By the way, I'm not being paid to shill for them. This is just a

product I tried. And if people are interested, go for it. That's it. Yeah,

I ended up liking it. But what I didn't realize is because it's tea,

there's also caffeine in it because all I read was the carbs. That's all I

was concerned about. So I had three of these things at

the party, more or less with caffeine in it. I had two espressos.

When I woke up that morning, I had more than 4

liters of soda throughout the course of the Night, because I was up

for quite a while. And so when I get home from my friend's house,

all of that caffeine with just the little bit of THC that I

have in my system kept me up till over 3 or 4 in the

morning last night. I get up, homie, Yeah,

I go to sleep about 3 or 4 ish in the morning.

Finally I'm having sinus problems and stuff like that.

And there's just multiple reasons why I couldn't sleep last night. So I get

up at like 7:30 this morning, I give Mac a shot for his insulin

and everything, and I finish up my notes on Godzilla.

Now everyone knows that Matt was doing the notes on Godzilla.

I started my notes on Thursday on Godzilla without realizing I

was supposed to do the notes Godzilla raids again. Like a fucking.

I get up this week at 7:30 thinking that

all I gotta do is just watch Godzilla raids again and then finish up the

notes on Godzilla, which I do. And then immediately as I

start Godzilla raids again, I get the sinking feeling in my chest that I fucked

up in some way. And what if we both did notes on Godzilla? So I

opened our scheduling document. Can you imagine this morning if you'd have been like,

so you did a Godzilla raids, right? I've been like, no,

Right? So that's why. So I opened up the scheduling document when I realized

that right as I'm starting Godzilla raids again, again thinking that all I gotta do

is just stay awake long enough to watch the movie and then I can go

to bed. Right? Because you're gonna do the notes. Well, I verify no,

Court, you really fucked up. You have to do the notes for both movies now.

And Matt's already done his notes, obviously for Godzilla, because he knows

to follow the scheduling document that you, for some reason having really fucked up

weeks, forgot that that's what you need to look at for sure and

not just do the notes of any goddamn movie you choose between the two.

You really took this Court runs Barter Town fucking seriously,

didn't you? I almost was like, dude, do you to do the notes for

both weeks? Like, I almost. I seriously was like,

we should just fucking do that. I put in the fucking work. I know you

did too, but I was like, you know what? No, I didn't even refer to

my notes. Those notes are gone. You know, there's. There's an alternate universe

somewhere where I did both notes, right? Like it exists somewhere for

both weeks somewhere, some alternate universe where I'm just. Sitting here going, you're right.

Cort. Yeah. Kaiju Woo. That's it? Yeah, just like it was when

we first started the show. I did, literally. Yeah,

exactly. Yeah. But anyway, I realized

that, so I kind of of go back and I start taking the notes really

quick for Godzilla raids again and I try to pay as much attention as

I can and I'll. You'll hear some of the fuck ups that I did in

the outtakes and stuff. But I am obviously exhausted.

I get the notes done and Matt's like, basically I need a

little extra time to run an errand. So I'm like, cool. I'm going to just

take a nap. I'm going to go back to sleep and try and get some

sleep until you're ready to record. Cut to what, like 12:30

ish? You text me and say, okay, I'm ready to rock. And then 40 minutes

later I get another text that says, hey, are you even awake yet?

Well, yeah, I was just like, hey, I'm just checking in because it was like

about 45 minutes later. It was like almost like 12:57.

I'm like, hey buddy, is everything okay? You awake?

I'm like, I think you might. I was like, oh, am I going to have

to like message your wife and be like, hey,

you alive or what do we got going on here? Yeah,

you texted me the second time and the second one woke me up and so

I immediately hopped up and I texted you. I'm like, shit, let me get my

shit together, I'll get the studio ready to go and we'll fucking roll. You know

what I mean? I was like, yeah. So I made two espressos again after I

woke up, got the studio set up while I was drinking. The first one messaged

you to make sure that you were ready made. The second one went

up to tell my wife I was getting ready to record and you know,

make out with her a little bit so that she's happy to let me

record for a little bit longer. And then came downstairs with the

second espresso and I was drinking that and you can hear me getting heavily caffeinated

through the episode with Godzilla last week. And that's true,

that's where I'm at now. So I'm essentially in Nicolas

Cage from The Gone in 60 Seconds remake mode where I'm tired,

I'm a little wired and I'm just raring to go. Like that's all I've

got left, right? And I gotta try and come down from this caffeine buzz

I did to do this show so that maybe I can get Some more sleep.

Because in total, I probably have had about three and a half to four hours

of sleep, max. Yeah. Thank God tomorrow's a Sunday.

You can maybe get a little better sleep tonight. Yeah. And my wife's

gonna get up and take care of Mac in the morning, so I'm gonna sleep

in like a motherfucker tomorrow morning. For sure. Yeah,

me. Probably for the best.

Yeah. All right, so that takes us to the next break here. So on

the pirate radio edit, we're going to have Elvis Presley with the song, I want

you, I need you, I love you. Right after this.

If you've decided you can't get enough of the show and would like to check

out more of it, we're available at Legion. Pod. Damn it, man. She is

insane. No, God damn it. That's not gonna happen.

Oh, that just sounds gross. He is.

Jesus. Oh, my God. Use a dead old damn, man. Well,

I did screen them for all the stuff,

so we're good there. Oh, my God, that's rancid.

That is so gnarly. Oh.

Oh, there's a smell. Dude, it was like a water

fountain that lifted him up off of her when it happened.

What is he eating? Oh, Jesus Christ.

Master Corn, I just wanted to let you know I

have perfected my chili. What is this? What is happening?

Why is that on top of my Millicent? That is my Millicent.

Master Corn, I'm feeling a burning in my heart.

I must grab the weapons and destroy Igor.

No, Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't do that. Okay, Matpot. I took Millicent's

contrast consciousness and put her into a bot for you, and you two are

happy together. That is not your Millicent. That is just her body

that has been reanimated. Feeling a burning in

my heart. Destroy Igor. Don't do that. That's okay.

I've got the Three Laws of robotics going. He's not gonna do a thing.

Oh, awesome. Besides, I think I know how to fix this. Hey,

Corkbot, that's off you.

Hey, Corpod. Is that. Is that my drink? No, it's my beer.

Don't get your eye. You. Here, piss into this glass, will you?

All right, here you go, You. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's like 180

proof moonshine. Peanut, drink my piss. Oh, it's delicious.

All right, Corbot, do me a favor. Can you take Mat bot out, show him

a good time and point him back to the Millicent bot and get them

all up in that. Loving it. Strong. Stick your ass.

What Possessed Melissa said that's what you should be doing.

Mapot. Exactly what Possessed Millicent just said to you.

Go ahead and do that. Okay, Master Gorp, I will do that. Come on,

buddy. We'll find Double Teamer. Yes. Yes, we will.

Yeah. Go to Millicent Bot and take care of that. Okay. Thank you,

Master Cord. Right. As always, you are the

most benevolent breather.

All right, so that is Elvis with I want you, I need you,

I love you, which was probably sung to a very underage girl

because he was a piece of shit. That,

yeah, probably didn't go so well.

It was the 50s, it was a different time. Blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah. He was still a piece of shit. I mean,

damn. All right, all right, all right. Let's all just settle down now, all right?

We're getting crazy over here. Yeah, I'm a bit surly. You're absolutely

correct. Well, while you're out there outraged at me taking swipes

at Elvis for being. The piece of shit, I don't really care that you take

swipes at Elvis. I was just like, wow, that got a hand really fast.

Kick the butt out of this week and make it your bitch while you enjoy

on the pirate radio, edit the harp tones with Life is but a dream from

1955.

Who's got to mop this room? God, Matt Pot. As soon as

he's done making his lubricant, mess out there in the back with Melissa

Pot. Awesome. All right, so now that that's all taken care of,

one more time, dude, we are with Legion podcast network.

That is awesome. And I'm super stoked. Yeah, I'm glad,

too, man. That's an awesome honor. I'm excited for the future of

C Ops. We got a home now. All right, dude, now I need you to

get the out of the lab because witches dropping by here any minute, and I've

got a very special date for him. Oh, man.

It's that billet, is it? No, it's me, silly. Get out.

Oh, I'm out of here. Okay,

dude. Yeah, yeah.

I'm not sure. What. What are we doing here? Where's Matt? Oh,

Matt couldn't make it. So I was thinking, you know, we could

just have a little chat. I've got some white wine.

Nice dinner. What are you thinking? I'm thinking that I couldn't pucker any harder if

I tried, bro. Oh, I'm sorry.

I totally misunderstood. Okay, well,

why don't we just do the review then, okay? Just ignore all this other stuff.

I didn't mean Anything by it. I mean, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

Maybe we should just. The review. Yeah, I can do that.

Hold on a sec. Oh, you can't hear me. Hello? Hello? Can you hear me

now? I can hear you, but you're not coming through my speakers. Hold on one

second. Sure. I'm still looking for songs for the 1955.

So we're fine. Actually, while we're waiting, let me do this.

Recording in progress. There we go. Hello? Yeah, can you hear me

through the. There we go. Yay. Now we're doing it.

All right, so I'm still looking for songs from 1955. I've gotten

two so far. So round, round, get around. I don't even know

if that's 1955. But we'll get to that one eventually too, because we got other

giant monsters. Shit up movies. I get around I get

around oh, God. I need to find some music quick to get you to stop

singing. I get around Please stop. You're gonna make me

really angry. You know, just enjoy it.

No fair. But Jesus,

what can I say? I'm mean, I'm cruel. Cruel and unusual

punishment. You know, I actually did tell Bev

about the shtick that we do where you sing and then I say hurtful things.

So, like, really, really hurt your feelings. But you know, our shtick. I just basically.

Yeah, yeah. Our stick. Yeah. I'm revealing it now here while we were waiting for

me to do this before we actually start the episode, but. Bill Haley and his.

Holy shit, that was loud. But, yeah, that's. That's the shtick that I'm

talking about. I told her the whole thing and she's like. But like, does it

actually hurt his feelings? I'm like, no, it's the shtick, man.

What do you think? I think I actually have a good singing voice. I know

that ain't real, right? And like, you do that in our real life to annoy

me because you know that it annoys me. So use. Purposely.

Purposely to annoy me. If I had a

good singing voice, I wouldn't use it on you. It'd be useless. Like it would

annoy you at all.

Absolutely. I'm almost there. I'm actually trying to load the YouTube as you hear it

playing in the background, blaring out of the songs that

we're going to be doing for the pirate radio edit this week. So we're almost

there. Oh, man, I'm going old school. Remember when I used to do this where

I have stuff on YouTube to play songs and Then. Oh,

yeah, oh, yeah. And then all the clips were on Quick

Time before I got my fancy machines.

All right, I think we're all ready to rock. So ready to go?

Yeah, let's do it. All right. Three, two, one. I don't

know what that note is. I'm. And obviously too tired, so.

3, 2, 1. Kobayashi, don't you hate it when your. Own handwriting

you up. Oh, this is me typing. And then there's just nonsense in here,

I think spell checks me in this case, or. Yeah. You know,

even sometimes you're just like, what was I trying? What point was I trying to

make with this note? What the.

Sophia Loren? Wait, this says 1960, not 1954.

No, I can't do that one.

It is the podcast equivalent of found footage. The recordings are

raw, poorly edited, and at times incoherent. They focus on

a man living in. A bunker, working his way through the

junk pile that the globe has begun. He finds stuff. He talks about

it. He tells you about it. That's as simple as it gets. Called Witch versus

the Doomsday Clock. Total blast. Every time I get a chance to talk to you

again, I apologize for that little bit of an uncomfortable moment there.

Kick the butt out of this weekend. Make it your bitch while

you enjoy. On the pirate radio, edit the harp tones with Life Is But

a dream from 1955. I don't even think I know that song,

but I'm gonna go ahead and stop. I mean, I still was into

it. Yeah, we're gonna enjoy all the 50s through the 60s and

all the different songs I'll be able to find for sure. But we're not going

to be enjoying it anymore because I gotta do this recording stopped.
