Cinema_PSYOPS_EP504: Giant Monsters FSU: Godzilla vs. Biollante 1989 (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 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.
Or us. Although the way the world ends might be because of you.
And if this is the case, you wouldn't have any control over it.
The global temperature rise underscores a chilling reality.
Our planet is trying to tell us. Something, but we don't seem to
be listening. A recent study has suggested that one. Third of annual deaths
due to heat are directly related to global warming.
On top of the initial flash of thermonuclear light, which is
180 million degrees, which catches every everything on fire in
a nine mile diameter radius. On top of the bulldozing effect
of the wind and all the buildings coming down, and more fires igniting more
fires on top of the radiation if they happen to have survived poisoning
people to death. On top of all that, each one of these fires
creates a mega fire that is a hundred or more
square miles.
Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing.
The destruction has a nexus that centers on Cinema Psyops.
A breathtaking scientific revolution is taking place.
Biotechnology has been progressing at stunning speed,
giving us the tools to eventually gain control over biology.
Solving the deadliest diseases while also creating viruses
more dangerous than nuclear bombs, able to devastate humanity.
It's man returning to the most primal,
violent state as people fight over the tiny
resources that remain. What if the world we live in. Is just
a dream or a simulation? Whether it's a dream or some advanced.
Computer game you are playing right now. When it ends, you would be what
causes the end of the world. Please do us all a favor.
Continue dreaming or playing this game of life. Because when you wake
up or unplug, there's a chance the rest of us will be blaked out of
existence. Timelines across the entire continuum
are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus
that centers on Cinema syn.
10 years. 10 years.
And welcome to the 504th consecutive week
of Cinema Psyops. I'm your host, Cort, the guy that cannot believe
that we only have 16 weeks left of our
year 10 to cover Godzilla and or other Kaiju movies. And joining me in
the joy of how much time we have left versus how much time is actually
left for us at all is my co host, Matt. What is
time? Time is all relative. I mean, we get older,
the more our planet revolves around our sun.
We get things pass. And time is the construct that
we've put together to be able to mark that sort of thing so that we
have a modicum of control over our ever, you know,
chaos, widening lifespan. Yeah,
good luck with that. Yeah. Unfortunately, time control is
one of those constructs that has been usurped by the people that
want to sell your lifetime, the time that you have where you are
alive. And they'll give you money if you spend
time, your lifetime that you have with them or doing tasks
for them or filing paperwork for them. But you're still just selling away your
lifetime. All right, well, now we're really going off the rails
here. Thank God. We're all just happy, cheery moods
fucking today. Yeah, well, it is what it is. Hopefully when we
record last week's episode, we'll be in a better mood than when we are recording
this week's episode because we're more time traveling.
Things are getting a little weird in Godzilla universe anyway, so let's just dive in.
Right? Yeah, yeah. No, I'm with. So we've gone full
hardcore sci fi without aliens this week.
Sort of a mad Science Y.
Frankenstein has a daughter that possessed a
rose that is sort of Earth's would be
protector that is bred with Godzilla cells to
become Biollante. Am I getting this right? As right
as you're going to get it, yeah. I mean, the movie's definitely not clear about
a lot of this, but we do know that Biollante is a rose of some
sort that is merged with God cells. We will see that that's part of the
actual plotline that is in the description for the movie that this is what happens.
That a scientist does this and creates Biollante. But the side
effects of Biollante being a gentle and loving creature are very,
well, two things, right? There's two things that are making that happen. One is it's
a very Japanese. That's a very Japanese construct that
the. The spirit of a forgiving and loving being would be put
into a monster. And therefore the monster becomes a protector and a savior. Very Japanese.
And the second thing that I wanted to point out about,
that they start doing this a lot more in the Godzilla series.
Where would be Villains are technically, like,
transformed into protectors, and they mean us really no harm. And this
is really kind of the start. And this series that we've kicked off with
the Return of Godzilla in 1984, or Godzilla 1984,
depending upon which version of it you end up seeing, they're called the Verses,
because from here on out it's like basically Godzilla Versus this, Godzilla Versus
that. And that's kind of how this series goes. So it's kind of nicknamed that
way. It's also known as the Heisei Era, I do believe.
So. Showa was the one that we were. And we were done with with the
Return of Godzilla. We're now in the Heisei era when we covered that.
And then this is the start of what they start affectionately
referring to as the Versus series, which is in the Heisei era.
And I already explained it earlier, it's based by the Emperor of Japan at the
time, is what the era is. Whoever's alive. And Emperor of the is
just basically, whenever they start making these again, that's the era that generally
they're named as the era that they exist in. But the fans have nicknames for
some of them. And this one happens to be Versus, if I'm not mistaken.
All right, then. And it really starts with this.
That's. Yeah, it really starts with this one. That's really what's
important to kind of discuss about it. This is definitely an
odd duck. And I definitely pulled a selfish in having you
do this one, because I wasn't going to try and explain this, even though I
did at the beginning of the show try to explain it, but I'm still lost.
I mean, just kind of did. So, yeah, it's all over. Do you have this
mapped out in your notes as best to your ability as to what the fuck
is going on in this film? As best as I got it. Which is why
there's 18 clips to explain it. Ooh, yeah. Yeah.
Honestly, do not blame you at all. When I was watching the.
Before, we got ready to record because, again, we're cutting it close this week
because life has just fallen apart around us, and that's just how it is every
day. Every day. But, you know, on Sundays we record. Every other Sunday
we record. So we still have to find a way to fit it in,
and we still are, because we love doing it and we love that
you still listen to it. So we're not complaining. We're just saying life
is fucking nuts. And I just barely got this all finished. For us to
be able to record. Anyway, long story short, too late. This film is
not going to make any goddamn sense no matter how much we try to explain
it. And don't blame that on us. Yeah, Ye. This ain't our fault.
We didn't make the fucking movie. Yeah, the dialogue will try to
explain it to you, but even the dialogue is not concerned with
like howl fourths and all of that sort of things that have ended up happening
that somehow transformed a may or may not be possessed by the daughter of
the scientist Rose being fused with Godzilla cells to
make Biollante. It just stands. Yeah. Just accept it and let's
move on. Thank you. Well, in the
spirit of that moving on, we're going to go ahead and play
on the pirate radio edit for this week. Amaz immediately following the Legion
Patreon ad. All songs released in 1989 just like
Godzilla vs Biollante. Up first is the classic
lip synced by Milli Vanilli Blame it on the Rain right after this.
This'll keep you quiet. Oh, hi there. I didn't see ya.
You call me. Previously on the Breakdown of
all goodness and normalcy. Through the destructive chaos of the Mobius loop
of annihilation I join you.
How do you feel about cats? Love cats. Hate humans.
Cool. So look, I can't afford to fe you, my family,
myself and my cats. You're gonna have to fend for yourself here.
But I can get you baked and let you play with my cats before you
have to go back to your reality. I now go back to reality.
I go to a liminal space where I both exist and
do not live. Yet am mostly dead. It is a suspension
of disembodied consciousness pondering the horror of my
state until I am granted temporary reprieve from that
undeath to this sketch based world. Fuck, that was dark.
Look buddy, I just meant you can't live with me if you stay in my
real. It's a capitalistic society where your only worth
in life is the increments of your life. You sell by
the hour to have all of your labor's value go to your bosses.
We are held hostage by the cost of being alive, which is inflated
by the commoditization of every basic need that we have here
in this world. Ethereal state of non existent consciousness.
Sound much better. You want to come too? Fuck dude.
If it weren't for the few people that I love in this world and my
cats, I would love that shit. I am sure. Only being a
disembodied consciousness untethered to sensation an
echo of existence. It's not for everyone like dreaming
about a life you never wake up to.
Currently occurring during the breakdown of all goodness and normalcy through
the destructive chaos of the Mobius loop of annihilation.
Only being a disembodied consciousness untethered to
sensation. An echo of existence. It's not for
everyone like dreaming about a life you never wake up to.
That sounds like the simulation that is based around me that I
live in. Read the in reality you are in or
get the out of here. You have got to be the absolute
most self absorbed, idiotic and terminally narcissistic
version of us that has ever been. I finally found a version
of me I hate more than myself. Whoever wrote you must
be a miserable piece of. As more
and more courts found themselves filled with rage at discovering their origins
and the reality of their creator, they each channeled that rage through the
lens of having someone new to blame for their horrific self hating character
flaws.
Now I am giving Milli Vanilli a little bit of shit because they infamously
had a record skipping that they were just performing along to for the song Blame
it on the Not Blame it on the Rain, but it's Girl, you know It's
True or whatever, that chorus going on. Yeah. And the record started skipping so they
tried to sell it off at a bit and then they just stopped whenever the
record finally scratched and they stopped it. And it was revealed to people who had
no idea that artists who have to sing and dance like that actually can't
do all of that with the breath control that they may or may not have.
And these guys may have actually been doing the performances that ended up in the
albums. They're not like CNC Music Factory where the people that are shown in
the video are not the people that are actually doing the performances at all.
That was crazy. I mean, but did they actually do the performances that.
I don't know. Like, I'm just trying to give them a little bit of credit
because one of them is dead because of the embarrassment and the horror of what
he experienced from that night. Yeah, but I just don't think they
actually sang at all. Well, probably not. And it really doesn't fucking matter
because the music that was produced for them to look pretty and sing and
dance in front of the TV for was still actually pretty okay
for the time. Yeah, it wasn't bad. I mean, you know, a lot of pop
fluff. Yeah, well, there was a lot of pop fluff at the end
of the 80s into the 90s. I mean, we're probably into a lot of
pop fluff right now too, but. Yeah, well, it is
what it is. And it definitely frames Godzilla
versus Biollante, which is what we're really here to talk about. Yeah, a lot
of versus fluff. Let's get into it.
All right. Godzilla versus Violente.
First, we have a recap of the last movie in
a news report. So that is our first clip.
Godzilla has fallen into the crater of Mount Mahara.
The lava discharged by the eruption has dragged the creature into the
mouth of the volcano. Emergency precautions issued in the metropolitan
area earlier have been called off. But the Nishi Shinjuku
area remains closed. While troops are salvaging
the remains of Super Square. Examination of residual radiation
and gathering of radioactive items have been undertaken.
The city demolished by Godzilla looks more like a ghost
town now. This city, built with the
most modern technology, was destroyed in
just one day. CCN reporter
Susan Horn reporting from Tokyo. It's important to
note that the opening of the film is a bunch of like a highlight reel
of all of the big things that happened in, in my movie
for Return of Godzilla that they kind of replay his credits to this one.
Yep, that is. That's exactly right. So anyway, then we see
dudes are finding some Godzilla cells. Well, we see they were infiltrators
because the actual army shows up and there's a firefight and the dudes get away
only to be shot by another dude who then takes the cells.
Then we got one dude who gets word that the cells were delivered and
he heads to his lab. And that is our next clip.
I'm sure those Godzilla cells will be a most valuable asset
for our research into genetic engineering. But doctor, those cells would
have been nothing more than trash if it weren't for your
great genius in clarifying for us the entire picture.
No, it's you who should be thanked for giving me such
a modern laboratory. As you know, in this country,
we are wealthy because of the oil wells. But we cannot
depend on them forever. We'll have to find a way to transform this expanse
of desert into a vast granary well. Now,
my daughter Erica recently succeeded in cross
breeding a new variety of wheat from wheat and desert cactus cells.
This new wheat can be grown out in the desert. So if we can add
self reproductive genetic information to this from
some of these Godzilla cells, then an indestructible new super
plant will have been produced. Mr. Zalman, good. If that happens, then the
Americans will be mortified and their position as the largest grain
exporting country in the World will become threatened.
What?
What's up? What's going on?
The research lab's been blown up by a bomb. All right.
So anyway, the cells are destroyed, and dude finds his daughter, what we're assuming
is dead in the rubble. This all leads to five years later. In our
next clip, Niki Sagusa. She's the best channeler of
ESP that we have at the Mental Science Exploitation Center.
It has been shown through a number of experiments over the years.
The plants have their own fields of. Mental energy,
so it's no surprise that. We found somebody who can communicate with
them. Tell me something, Doctor. Why do you
suddenly wish to hear. The voice of a rose? If you don't mind me asking.
I guess it's a sign of old age. You know, I've lived here alone
with my work for almost five years now. Solitude weighs heavily. I get some
strange ideas. Is it really five years?
Erica used to say that one day the desert would come alive
and be carpeted with all sorts of wild flowers. Tell me,
Asuka, how's your father? He's fine,
thanks. His latest project is to start a bio bank. He's trying
to get the foundation to fund it. Yes, I've heard of your father's project.
He wants to preserve Nobel Prize winner semen to be used for future production of
geniuses. There's been a lot of opposition to the project,
but it's going ahead. It won't be easy to get his work accepted.
You see, it was because of these same conservative attitudes that I was forced to
leave the country. I can tell you, things haven't changed these
five years. How did it go? It was
no good. There was nothing. Nothing at all?
Doesn't seem to be anybody important. Yeah,
that's my guess, too, but.
But what? She's not a bad size,
right? This ain't a beauty
contest, you know. You're right.
See you later. Thanks a lot for coming. Hey,
didn't you hear anything just now? A girl was
calling you, Asuka. It was your name. I'm sure of it.
Bye. Have you ever heard of Chimera?
Chimera? A legendary
monster that spits fire. It was supposed to appear from the ocean's depths,
causing violent storms and destroying human beings.
It had a lion's head, goat's body, dragon's tail.
It was mythical. If they play around
with cells, genetic engineers might well create their own.
Chimera. A new life form. Totally alien.
Totally different to what God intended for Earth.
Frightening, don't you think? I understand your misgivings concerning
My father's work. A lot of people are against it as well. I can't
help it if the head of the Akochi foundation is my father.
Anyway, I fail to see how our relationship has anything to do with it.
You're right. Still, I feel uneasy in my work. After all, the foundation supports the
laboratory. Yes, but that doesn't have an effect on our staying together, you know.
You think you're Romeo straight out of Shakespeare's tragedy.
Well, I'm not going to do a Juliet, that's for certain.
Massachusetts sent me an answer. They want me to go study there.
Asuka, will you come with me?
Well, I don't really know what to say.
I can't answer that right away.
Since late last night, a series of violent earth tremors
has shaken the area around Mount Mihara on Oshima Island.
Early this morning, smoke has been seen rising from the crater.
The Central Seismic Bureau is monitoring the situation, but at
this stage, they're unsure whether a full eruption is likely. All right.
So then these two ladies, they run into a classroom, and all the kids are
having the same dream. They had them draw the dream, and they all drew Godzilla.
Not only did they draw Godzilla, they drew Godzilla with fire and destruction
everywhere around him. They all had the same nightmare. It seemed to be coming out
of the volcano. Yeah,
that too. He might be being released from the volcano. He was trapped in an
Amaya movie. Yeah. We cut to some other dudes talking,
and that is our next clip. Oh, hello,
Colonel. Hey.
Yeah, I can tell you it's really exciting. Waiting for a lizard that never shows.
Nah, you gotta be joking, Colonel. I'm sure they're trying to get rid of.
I tell you, the most exciting thing that happens around here is betting who can
squash the most mosquitoes. Sure. God knows why I
accepted the assignment. Oh, by the way, I called you because I'd like to conduct
some research. And for that, I'll need your cooperation. Of course. Tomorrow,
10:30.
I don't think the Prime Minister believes her story. No, of course he doesn't.
She's just a nobody. If he started believing girls, talking about dreams
and extrasensory perception, he wouldn't stay Prime Minister very long. So tell me,
Gondo, do you believe? With the girls saying, Tell you the truth, I hope he
shows up. Because if it's just a lot of bull and I'll be out of
a job. Robotic engineering, computers,
superconductivity, laser technology. All the latest gadgets at
your disposal, including. Don't forget esp.
Geez, the army's really up to date, aren't they?
You've forgotten one thing. What's that? Well, you didn't mention our bioweapons.
Anti nuclear energy bacteria.
In the United States, they've already produced a bacteria that eats crude oil.
It's successfully on oil spills. And likewise, bacteria that eats
nuclear material has been developed by our scientists here. In the case of a nuclear
accident, the bacteria would clear up any pollution. It's nuclear material.
Did you say totally? Yes, totally. That's why I can work against Godzilla
who feeds on nuclear energy. You know, the situation isn't yet critical.
True, an orange alert has been issued and the bacteria must be got ready.
But still, the bacteria wasn't meant to be used as a weapon. Anyway, the problem
with this bacteria is it can't be made by this laboratory, not on its own.
We need a cell to create it. A Godzilla cell. You mean Godzilla feeds on
nuclear energy? Somewhere in the cell's structure, there nucleus digesting
set of genes. And so we need that set of genes to make the bacteria.
What you're saying is that something taken from the Godzilla cell structure
can be used to make something to destroy it. The Godzilla cells were discovered five
years ago. They were all collected by an army special unit. They're stored at the
Okochi Foundation. What else, Doctor? Is there anything else you need?
Just a few scientists. I'm sorry to disappoint you,
gentlemen, but I vowed never to work with the Godzilla cells again. I understand how
you must feel, Doctor, but it's vital for the defense of our country against Godzilla.
My daughter was more important to me than my country. I lost her because of
my work on the go. Godzilla cells. Nowadays, I have nothing left to live for.
I'm sorry. Thank you, but I'm not interested.
Oh, so you're Dr. Kirishima.
My daughter told me a lot about you. I'm glad I had the chance to
meet at last. My daughter also informs me that
you're a little critical of my project here. Extremely.
Yes. At least you're honest. However, I do feel that you, like most other
so called scientists, don't understand what I am doing here. I do realize,
of course, the dangers involved. After all, every coin has two sides. Well then,
in that case, you must realize what kind of weapon anti
nuclear bacteria would be. You are aware of that? I know that it could neutralize
nuclear missile overnight. Nuclear missiles would be redundant. If we
produce that bacteria, then the balance of power would. Well, Kirishima, Reality is
reality. Now this foundation has the technology to make that
Bacteria. The superpowers of the world will do anything to get their hands
on the Godzilla cell. If any country succeeded, I'd have to use force to recover
cells in the same way that America's Bio Major did attacked and
destroyed Shirigami's laboratory five years ago. The government decided to store the
Godzilla cells here in the Svault by way of precaution. They would remain in here
and only be used in case of a nuclear accident that would otherwise threaten the
country, and only under strict control. But then Godzilla came along. The rest is history.
Know something? I hate to leave the Jews locked away. Such a waste.
All right, and that's the end of that. 20 minutes before we go on to
the next. All right, did everybody get that from the dialogue, from all of the
clips? Or are they like us and not paying attention? Yeah, I'm pretty sure
they don't even know what the hell just happened. All I know is G
cells can make plants indestructible and
is competition for America. But it also kills
scientists daughters. When you mix plants with G cells,
that is. What? And they get a little pissy about that? Well, yeah, if you
tend to kill a scientist's daughter, you end up making a mad scientist.
It just happens. Even if it's a lab accident that is his fault. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. It's always that way though. I mean, or her
fault. Let's not be sexist here. Mad scientists generally tend to be men because
let's face it, men are the ones that usually can't handle emotional strife and
go mad. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the case. But often it
can happen to where it can be a female mad scientist. But regardless
of that, if a scientist is a parent who loses a child in the process
of their odd science or weird science, they're destined to become
science. That's it. That's it. That's how it works. That's usually
how it always works. And there's like a lot of weird sci
fi shit in this because they have bacterias that eat crude oil for
spills and clean it up. And they don't talk about what the bacteria leaves
behind as waste byproduct that might be beneficial. They just say it
eliminates oil. But I'm looking at a slide rule here trying to figure
out how that works. But like, everything that devours something also has
to leave a waste byproduct usually. So if
it devours the oil, does it leave like the clean, fresh scent
of Pine Sol in the ocean for us all or something? You know, Wouldn't that
be just nice? But I highly doubt that's going to be the case. And then
also bacteria that can survive radiation and also devour
it. We have low levels of radiation in our bodies.
Perhaps having a bacteria that just devours only radiation and can survive isn't
the best thing to have around for, you know, living beings that also emanate
a little radiation themselves. Say what? I just not
trying to like be that guy. I just don't understand
the science behind this. Like super
strength bacterias that, you know, get rid of evil things that we
apparently have a problem with being the dependency on
oil that has oil spills everywhere and then radiation that's everywhere,
which is the byproduct of our nuclear power. I mean, if something like that would
exist and we could control it, Cool. But seems kind of terrifying to me.
Hey, can I tell you, you weren't put on this earth to get it.
Yes, Both me and Mr. Jack Burton, we were both not put
upon this earth to get it. We can move on then.
All right, there is an earthquake.
And this leads to our next clip. A short while ago,
a powerful eruption occurred on Mount Mihara, Oshima island.
It caused a series of strong tremors which were felt as far
away as Tokyo. The eruption is still going on, throwing huge chunks
of lava high into the night sky, giving the scene an eerie glow.
I must do something or else Erica will die. Good.
Dr. Shiragami, welcome to the team. Thank you. Dr.
Shiragami's accepted the position. Is that right? He's coming here tomorrow.
What? Yes, on one condition. He wants to be able to keep the Godzilla cells
in his laboratory for seven days. So of course I said it was quite okay.
So what are you going to be doing? Will you be making the bacteria
with Dr. Shiragami? Yes, to destroy Godzilla when it comes.
Sounds like you wish Godzilla would show up.
Maybe. But who knows if it'll show up or not. What if we go ahead
and make the bacteria and it's a false alarm? Well, that would suit me
fine. I could do without him.
But seriously, if he doesn't, we'll have made a far worse monster than him.
Come on. Case in point, the bacteria doesn't work right. What could go
wrong? You can make a far worse Godzilla because you just strengthened him against
something that can deplete his radiation. I guess from the sound of it,
lots of shit can go wrong.
Yeah, yeah. This is the around and find out kind
of science response to Godzilla in these Versus films. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah. Yeah, no, you're. You're exactly right. Well, the doctor
works with the cells, and the next day we cut to
the office in the meeting, and sure enough, it's our next clip. That's fair.
Talkie holes open. Yeah, it's only a minute bacterium we're
producing by genetic engineering a very simple life form. But still,
if research goes on the it is genetic technology sure to produce a
monster far worse than Godzilla. Kirishima, look, if we
don't produce this bacteria, and sure as eggs. As eggs, someone else is going
to do it. Just look at what human beings have done over the centuries and
you'll see. I know that, but our responsibility. Listen, Kirishima,
I have a feeling that you don't understand science very well.
You can see there's not a lot of movement. However, there's something happening in there.
The Super X2 has been substantially improved with the
introduction of the latest onboard supercomputer, which controls
automatic and remote functions. What is more,
it is now submersible. It can operate at extreme
depths down to 10,000 meters. Its armor is also
the latest TA323. It's twice as durable as the
titanium alloy armor on the old Super X. Right this
way, please.
And that is the Fire Mirror. It's also new, constructed entirely with
synthetic diamonds. And what's more, if the shield is hit by Godzilla's
radioactive heat rays, it has been designed to reflect their force a thousand
times more effectively. Hot stuff. Yes, it is. It's already started.
I'm always fascinated by cell division. Two cells in 30 minutes,
doubling to four in an hour. 32 cells in two hours.
In one day, 4 million cells. Terrifying, isn't it?
Okay, so it's a Fire Mirror that is made with synthet.
So they lab grew diamond panels to reflect Godzilla's
heat back at him. Yes. Magnify it. Supposed to be a large
reflector that can handle the explosive power of
Godzilla's atomic breath. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they looked
at King Caesar's eyes and went, I'm gonna steal that.
Yep, I'm gonna steal it. This is mine.
Of course, we never saw Godzilla fire a bolt into King Caesar's eyes.
It was always, you know, being used for returning the fire
from Mechagodz. But how cool of a finish would that have been if Godzilla
blew like a huge ton of atomic breath into one
eye for King Caesar, and then it blasts out the other, aiming at Mechagodzilla,
and just burns him alive like this? That'd be something like just burns
a hole through him. Right? From amplifier. Yeah, like. And then like then
they do a little callback here where they mention that. But the reason that they're
not doing that is this Godzilla is completely different. And hopefully I will go over
that when we actually cover the film last week. Even though we're recording last
week's episode next. So when we actually get to then, maybe then
we'll be next. Now? I don't know. We'll see. Then will be now and
soon. Let's move on. All right.
Two guys then ransack the lab of the doctor.
But however, that one assassin from the very beginning shows
back up and they get into a firefight, trashing the
lab up at this point. Then these plant
tentacles vines start grabbing the men and
killing them. Only the assassin dude gets away. This all leads
to our next clip. Hiroshima.
What? Dr. Shiragami's lab. The bodies belong to two of
biomages agents. They broke in to steal the papers on the anti nuclear
energy bacteria. God only knows how they died.
Is this why you'd been keeping the cells in your lab all week?
In the experiment, I thought I'd created an immortal plant species. I gave
it self reproducing abilities using Godzilla cells. You did what?
Yes, I thought. I think now I may have made a mistake.
You think, Doc, that you may have made a mistake?
After staring this gaping hole this plant has
made, right? Perhaps you have made
what some scientists would call a miscalculation.
We see one of the ladies, the ESP lady. She is looking
drawing a picture of the plant monster terrorists
are threatening. And that is our next clip.
And demand that you turn over the anti nuclear energy bacteria
not later than 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. Tuesday, Thursday 31st.
Or we shall be forced to cause an explosion that will destroy Mount
Mihara totally. Thereby releasing Godzilla. Here. It was
faxed to us. We received it this morning. The name of
the organization's alien imaginative. It's Bio
Major. They're the only ones who could know about the anti nuclear energy
bacteria. That's a bluff.
The pm. He's been too busy. He's more worried about the opposition
than Godzilla, I'd say. Well, they weren't bluffing. That phone
call was from Mount Mahara. There was an explosion, but it was just a warning.
Warning, huh? Read the rest. He'll understand. There is
more to the message. We have already made the necessary preparations to prove
we mean business. We shall set off a warning explosion at 1400 hours
today. 24 hours before the deadline. They're holding the entire country
to ransom that's right. And Godzilla is the hostage. Slow down.
Looks like this is it. Deliver the bacteria to
Bio Major. I understand. Well, if that's what
the government has decided. Whatever you say, sir.
I'll go with you. So you see,
science is just another host of politicians. So you're
going to leave it to them. We can't just sit here and do nothing.
Dr. Sherragoni. The lake.
Doctor. No, no, not the lake. The lake.
So anyway, they all head out there and there's the giant plant thing all
the way out by the lake. So just standing there,
the peeps are. It's a giant rose growing up
out of the middle of the lake. Like it's a puddle that a rose took
purchase in. Basically, yeah. Yeah, that is. That's a fact.
So they all the peeps are discussing what they're looking at. And that is
our next clip. You're looking at a rose. Why do we need a clip for
that? I don't know. I don't know, man. They talk about things. Important things.
I just can't believe it. What you're seeing there is no ordinary plot.
Biollante's the name.
Biollante? The spirit of a plant that appears in Norse
mythology. But that plant has
a human spirit. What do you mean, human spirit?
Yes, of course. If I'm not mistaken, Erica's spirit's in there. How do you know?
I can hear her calling me. Asuka, I'm gonna
need your help. Please. Please, madam. For your own sake.
So you did do it. You amalgamated one of God's Z cells
together with the plant cells. Are you proud of this?
What kind of science you call this?
The answer is mad science, kid. You call this mad science? What this
man has done. Weird science? No, he's graduated
from weird science to mad science. When he put the soul of his daughter into
a rose that he then half bred with Godzilla cells to
transform it into a giant rose growing out of a lake.
Good stuff. Yeah. Mad science, man.
So let. Here they go and meet up with
the guy to exchange cells for the switch to turn off the the
bomb. Then that secret hitman dude shows up and starts shooting at
all of them. The one dude gets away in the truck.
However, he gets shot and the truck crashes. They try to
deactivate the switch, but time expires. They're not able to.
And as they're doing that, the bad guy gets a hold of the cells and
drives off. The explosion happens. Godzilla is free. That's the
end of that toy. 20 minutes. Okay, this is definitely The Godzilla
from my movie. Because that's how he got trapped. That's how it ended. And they
made you think that maybe he got, you know, boiled alive inside of
the volcano or something like that. But no, he was just trapped inside the volcano
that they sort of deactivated with those explosions. And now a terrorist group
has unleashed Godzilla back onto Japan because they wanted
the anti radiation bacteria. Yes, yes. They wanted
to be able to have the same thing that these guys were going. Right.
But like. But they didn't care about fighting Godzilla. They just wanted to,
you know, they. Wanted it for reasons like to clean up the planet,
I think for the radiation. Because they're like a bio terrorist
or an echo terrorist organization, I think, is what they're supposed to be.
It's again, not really laid out all that clearly, but they
have their own, like, altruistic motives in mind that
they try to explain at some point that we should hear in one of the
clips, if I'm recalling correctly, like, they obviously don't think that
they're the villains. No, no. They think they're the good guys. Right. And they have
reasons for this besides religion. In this case, I think it might be,
you know, the environment. Right. It's their
echo task. So maybe that's what it is,
our ecology they're trying to save. I don't know.
Whatever that's about as far as you're going to get an explanation from the movie
on this. So so far we have daughter infused with the spirit
of a plant that started having some G cells.
Then the father gets the G cells again as a mad scient.
So he takes that same plan and continues growing it more
and more and more, infusing more Godzilla DNA to the
point where at some point coming up here shortly, whenever they fight,
he states that they're the exact same creature, although there is zero plant
DNA in my Godzilla. So they're not
the same creature, like genetically speaking. But he's saying that Godzilla DNA
is in there, so that makes them the same.
No, it's Godzilla DNA and something else. So it's therefore
not the same. Right. If you mix mayonnaise into ketchup, it's not ketchup anymore.
Like an island dressing without, you know. You know
what I'm saying? Like it's something. No, I get you. Yeah.
And you know, genetically speaking, you change one thing, you change a
whole lot of stuff about a species. So turning something
into a plant Godzilla hybrid is something completely
different than Godzilla. Yeah, but I mean, it's fun.
Yeah. And this Biollante is like the spirit of plants
in Norse mythology. Where the fuck did that even come from? Other than the guy
just no idea there. I don't know.
Nothing but north, you know, mentality to.
Know about, I don't know about.
Yeah, I'm like, I'll take your word for it, Doc.
Yeah. If that's the explanation as to where this creature came from,
great. But the more we see Biollante, the more
I'm starting to think, when was that Little Shop of Horrors musical
turned into a movie? Yeah, right.
And did that have any, any influence on the look and feel of Biollante
as a creature? Because I'm starting to wonder.
Obviously not here as much in the rose version.
It's not until it has to defend itself later that we're going to be seeing
shortly that it really starts to take on. But it's final form that's on the
COVID The posters. And how you see Biollante in its final form
for fighting is pretty much how you see Biollante from here on out.
That is 100. Gotta be influenced in some way, shape or form by
a Little Shop of Horrors. Dude, it has, has to be. It's got to be.
Yeah, but didn't we see a movie like
this? But where there's a thing.
Maybe I'm thinking of a whole different movie. Nah, never mind. Don't worry about it.
I'm already, I'm already done with that one. Yeah, that thought just
went nowhere. And I'm going to just leave it all in because sometimes,
sometimes our thoughts go nowhere. Sometimes people want to know
what, what that's like. Let's go ahead and move
in. Is this the final amount or. No, no, no.
It's just the next 20. Okay, so we're, we're, we're going in 20 minute.
This is an hour and 44 minute movie. So we got seven.
We got seven of these breaks. Then with you, if we're going every 20 minutes,
let's move on. Yeah. All right. Well, we start the next 20
with our next clip. That's fair. Godzilla comes back again and
we lose the anti nuclear energy bacteria. I guess things
are about as bad as they could get.
Well now, you miserable little people of Tokyo, you've done well to tune
in for this is a show that's got everything. You'll see news item
coming in. Just don't go away. In the United States today, new laws were.
Oh, excuse. And here's the latest news bulletin. An explosion occurred this afternoon on
Mount Bahara. Godzilla has escaped and is still at large. So Godzilla's back
again. We have to get back to Tokyo. Dr. Frail,
Auntie's crying. I can hear her.
The Coast Guard in the Tokyo Bay area is warning inhabitants of the monster's advance
and is evacuating coastal settlements in its path. And we have
just received these pictures. Godzilla is once more on the move, albeit slowly.
It has left Oshima island and is now heading up the Uraga Channel in the
direction of Tokyo. All right. Well, the navy is starting
to try to fight Godzilla. But of course it's not going very well.
They get back to a console control center and
Godzilla at this pace will be into Tokyo in 24 hours.
So launch their special battleship that can fly,
has that deflector. The ship battles Godzilla and sends him underwater.
They really get a a good run out of this. He.
Godzilla does not know what to do with this thing. And this deflector
does its job and it damages Godzilla. Yeah, it looks like they
may have the upper hand for once with Godzilla.
So anyway, it sends Godzilla underwater.
The ship then goes follows him underwater. And this leads to our
next clip. Godzilla's turning west. Sir. Colonel,
sir, Telephone for you. Seems Godzilla's given up. Heading for
Tokyo. Yes, toroke here. Hello, Mr. Gondo? Shall we sound
the all clear for the Tokyo Bay area, sir? What was that?
I think the dangers past. They stole the anti nuclear bacteria.
Close all the airports. I understand. Right away. Yes, sir.
It may be wise to wait before you give the all clear. If I were
you, sir, I'd tell the press that we're still fighting Godzilla in the Araga Channel.
Karagi. That's deliberate disinformation. Your attention please.
This is an announcement from the airport management office. The airport
is closing down and shall be evacuated due to the advance of Godzilla
off Tadayama. All flights have been cancelled.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Here is
the late news bulletin. Godzilla has stalled its advance in a stationary
between Yupura and Tatiana. Haneda and Narita airports
have been closed to all traffic until. God damn it.
Standby for the next update in one hour.
The agent's car has been spotted. It's on the Tomei highway heading west.
Tomei? Yeah. So where the hell can he be going? Seradia National Oil
Corporation. The only company Seradians have in the country that are front for their
spy. Inactive, based in Osaka. Managed by an ex secret agent of theirs.
Every week they're afraid to lease Kobe for Seradia. So you think
they'll try to smuggle it out by sea? If only we can Retrieve the bacteria.
Then we can defeat Godzilla. And then, of course, we shall have an almost endless
supply of Godzilla Cell. Yes, I see. But Shiragami
is. Dr. Shiragami? Excuse me, I'm from TNN Television.
I'd like to talk to you if you have a moment. I'd heard that through
your experiments, you'd succeeded in combining the cells of a plant with those of Godzilla
to create a super plant. Dr. Shiragami. You people always
criticize scientific experiments without understanding that true value scientists
have to look to the future.
Maybe it's no longer Erica's spirit. Doctor. It doesn't read anymore.
Communication has ended. You mean violent is just a.
Violent is just a cross between a plant and Godzilla.
What is it? Godzilla.
What?
Godzilla's coming. Biollante was calling out to Godzilla.
Godzilla's turning north towards Ottawara. What shall I do, sir? Keep it away
from the coast. Keep it out in the water. Understand, sir. Start underwater
attack. Oh God.
The music for the Super X2 is almost worse than the music for Super
X1, right? Jesus. All right,
so more Godzilla fighting with the battleship. The shit's deflector
does melt, however, and is damaged, so it can't uses it. And then
Zilla crashes the ship because. Hey, you.
Yeah, this is a vengeful Godzilla in the Verse series.
He's very mean spirited. And this is some of my favorite Godzilla stuff
is the mean spirited Godzilla from this series? Yeah, yeah,
yeah. It's. It's fun.
Let's see here. Okay,
so the plant starts crying and calling out to
Godzilla. So Godzilla shows up
and the plant attacks Godzilla. And this leads to our next
clip. I just wonder, did Godzilla come all this way to see
Biollante because it knew they were made from the same cells?
Yes, it's a possibility. After all, they're of the same family.
More than just the same family.
They are both made from the same cells. They're identical. The same
thing. Not brother and sister. They're both the same creature.
No, we already kind of talked about that. Yeah, they're made from
the same cells, but the other cells are drastically different.
So I don't know who you think you are to argue with.
I'm a guy that's following the plot line a little more closely. And once you
start altering something, it's no longer the same. Sounds like you're doing your
own research. Yes, I googled Biollante
construction and therefore my confirmation bias has
told me I've done my own research.
So then Godzilla shoots the plant with its atomic breath. It falls
apart but the vines are still attacking from the water. It spits
acid and gives Godzilla a bit of a groove green facial. It's kind
of messed up. Yeah. That was weird. Yeah. Godzilla then lights it back
up with some more atomic breath. It burns, but still stands.
And the doctor theorizes that the plant may be immortal. Oh, that's just
what we need. Yeah, right. They're trying to fix the ship.
And this leads to our next clip. Godzilla's in Sagami
Bay, so it's out to sea. Yeah, we're trying to fix it.
That's right. Sure, right. Well then, the computer's
okay as far as we can determine. The remote control would need replacing, but that's
okay. However, the Farmer is out of action. We can
patch up the armor, no problem. But the Farmer is a problem. Can't you fix
it? It's been deformed badly in too many places. Godzilla has melted a
mirror made of synthetic diamond. That's beyond our technological limits.
This is Chopper three. No signal. And I have a raider or sonar over
this. Chopper one, Godzilla is nowhere to be received. All units stand by.
This is Chopper two. I want another search made of Saraga Bay and the surrounding
area. Yes, right away, sir. If you lose Godzilla this time, we will never get
another chance. That's for sure. This is Charlie Foxtrot.
We're over the sea just off Omizuki Point. We'll continue to search the bay area
and the Pacific coast for as long as possible. Charlie Foxtrot, continue low
level search pattern and reference 420964.
Doctor. Ms. Okochi, Colonel Karaki
wants you on the phone. Do you think it's possible she could detect Godzilla underwater
from a helicopter like she did over the volcano?
I'm low on fuel. We go any further, we won't make it back to Tokyo.
Just a little further. Okay, we'll head for Osaka.
It's here. Underneath. It's moving slowly.
Godzilla is moving west, 100km off Hamatsu. The last time
Godzilla attacked, it ate a lot of nuclear material at an atomic plant
to store energy. This time, it doesn't have any supplies of nuclear material.
And by fighting Super X2 and Biollante, it must have lost a great deal of
energy. Do you think there's a possibility it'll head for an atomic plant? Yes.
Where are the nearest? There's one at my Zuru, one at Obama,
and there are three at Suragay. That makes a total of five. That's a
third of all the plans in the country. So if Godzilla did Go that way.
It'll be a disaster even if only. One of those plants is destroyed.
Judging by Godzilla's latest position, the nearest one would be here. That's Nagoya,
isn't it? We have to organize defenses, send a message. I want Super
X2 sent into the bay. I want air cover at all times and ground
troops on the three peninsulas around the bay. Here is where we'll launch our
attack. All right, so. And that's the
end of that 20 before we go to our next 20. Yeah, we moved through
that 20 relatively quickly. The initial
fight between Biollante and Godzilla is basically a giant
rose that sends out the little pods that resemble the Little Shop
of Horrors mouths, only more lizard. Like, because it's, you know, made up of
Godzilla cells, obviously, and Godzilla melting the whole thing, and then
it just basically catching on fire. And then like pieces of it go flying
up into the air and going kind of everywhere, and then just disappear into the
cosmos. It kind of goes like really kind of supernatural
spir with Biollante at some point, like it's an immortal
being now that can't be killed because now
that it's burning up, it's like these little Fairy Light things that go off
into the cosmos, like and become space dust. What?
Yes. Space spores. I'd say spores. Okay,
space spores. Right, and these spores will live on for like, ever.
But like now Biollante is just gone. Yeah, in the film, right, like just.
Just. I think so. Go be space spores for a while. Why not?
Maybe that's how they regenerate, so they can, you know, give fix themselves.
How does the scientist know that that's a sign of immortality and not just burning
embers? Because he just
does Cort. Okay, I'm just gonna Google some more
stuff, quote, unquote, do my own research by finding some confirmation biased
on this, and we can move on. All right, the next 20. The army is
starting to get ready and there are dudes driving to try to get the
the Godzilla cells. In our next clip, an all
out. Attack at Issei Bay. Godzilla is just as likely to
show up in Wakasa Bay. What if they send in everyone and Godzilla doesn't show?
What do we do then? Well, it's an interesting
question, but a vital one.
22nd and 23rd Battalion, prepare to move the position. Immediate mobilization.
Godzilla surface. Colonel? It's moving towards Osaka, sir. Osaka?
Send Super X2 after it. Yes, sir. Send the battle fleet to the Key Channel.
Very well. We must expressway and evacuate troops to Osaka.
It's too late. There's no time for that. Yes, I know it's too late,
but what else can we do? We must mobilize all troops along the Meshima Expressway.
We must prepare for a counter attack in Wakasa. If we send the troops to
Osaka, we don't have a chance. However, just there in Wakasa,
we may be able to beat it. And then what happens to Osaka? Task I
was given was to defeat Godzilla, sir. Godzilla's advance on Osaka has got
to be delayed. You'll have to evacuate the city of Osaka. Get in touch with
Mitsokichi and Osaka. Right away, sir. I know the song says, oh, no, there goes
Tokyo. Go Godzilla. But it's actually Osaka
that Godzilla ends up really spending a lot of time up in
these movies, folks. Yeah, yeah. A lot of ups happening right now.
So then they drop the two ladies off in
an oil rig so the one can try to communicate with Godzilla,
and she is able to get a hold of him. But then two army dudes,
they talk, and you know what? It's dialogue. And I got lazy. It's our next
clip. That's fine. What is this? Psychokinesis? Whatever it is, it's just in the
mind. You can't expect that girl to defeat Godzilla. It's too ridiculous.
Even if she is a girl, she's a great help to us. She could even
delay Godzilla's landing in Osaka with a little luck. I trust her ability
in esp, Even. Though she's just a girl. She has esp? I was
gonna say. And sexist. Doesn't matter.
Yeah. Well, what the. I'm not sure
I follow this thread of this psychic person that communicates with Godzilla
in some way, shape or form, can kind of convince him to go elsewhere.
You know, like, also. Also can talk to plants,
right? And, you know, has this psychic connection to Biollante and plants,
and realizes that the professor's daughter's spirit is in Biollante,
which she's basically the only one that really tells us that.
And then the doctor, like, confirms it, that he genetically engineered a
plant to house his daughter's spirit and then immediately made it immortal,
even though we watched it burn to embers and the embers go flying off into
space. That's about right. That's everything that's been said to us.
That's everything that's been shown to us. And that's. That's everything that we know right
now. Right? And I already said that Biollante gets a final form that we have
seen. Yet. So. Yes, Biollante is coming back. Yes, I'm being
a little facetious. I'm just saying this film may not
have been thought out all that thoroughly when written. At least the
English dub version of it anyway. I don't think the Japanese version explains
it any better. Yeah, probably not. We can move on. I'm good.
All right. So she does get Godzilla's
attention, and while she communicates with them, she faints because of so much
power. But anyway, Godzilla moves on and he's heading to
Osaka. But that was kind of the plan and what the lady was
supp to do. The two other guys, they are able
to attack a worker and get the Godzilla cells back.
The bad guy gets a call from the boss, the other boss of the company,
and they put a hit out on the doctor who's working with the Godzilla cells.
Godzilla hits Osaka and it becomes just a really great.
He's damaging everything and destroying all the. So the
model work in this sequence specifically looks incredible.
Incredible. Yeah, it's good stuff. The. The late 80s into
the 90s run has some of the best fucking model work on
some of this sudimation stuff like Godzilla 1984 or
1985 or, you know, Return of Godzilla had some incredible
model work. They continued it here. They're using more of this stuff.
They have an entire model city in this film that he walks through.
And it just looks amazing. It really does. It's.
It's a lot of awesome work on this one. I. I thought
better than all the other movies. And then it's a change for me because it's.
All the other movies were kind of like old fashioned Japan villages.
Now it's a big city being attacked. Yeah, it's definitely
a step up when we get to the 80s, when you start seeing more cityscapes
being destroyed with Japan and then into the 90s, it steps up even more when
we continue on, it really starts to escalate from here
where they're really trying to make things look more believable and more like an actual
monster. And you don't have to push the I believe button as much because you
actually watch Godzilla go through actual models of buildings that
are bigger than. Yeah, yeah. In these exact. It's incredible.
Well, the military lands and they have a plan.
They're going to use bazookas to get this. The Godzilla
sells the. The stuff they made that supposed to hurt Godzilla into
them. So they drop off the army, the ship
battles Godzilla to get Zilla kind of down to where
they need them. And then all the army guys, they shoot the bazookas,
they all make a direct hit. However, the colonel, who's out on the mission,
he makes a fancy little joke about. Hey, Zilla, this stuff might
not be so good for you. And. And then Godzilla hits the building he's in
and he dies. That's kind of a thing. People with bazookas
get Godzilla pissed off and he takes them out later in film.
And it starts here. Yeah. All this
leads to our next clip. After landing in Osaka
and devastating the city yesterday, Godzilla has moved north into the Tampa
mountains. She admitted as much energy as Godzilla did,
so it's no wonder. She's completely exhausted. She shouldn't have died. She could have died.
Yes, I called for Mr. Kirishima. He'll be right there.
Thanks. Oh, yes, Colonel. Right, right. It's been well over
14 hours now. There still doesn't seem to be any change in Godzilla.
If the bacteria doesn't work in the next eight hours, then we've had it.
Is that right? I understand. I'll get a chopper. See you in Tokyo.
Antinuclear bacteria can take effect up to six to 12 hours. On average,
it's eight hours. I just don't understand why nothing's happened yet. Maybe Godzilla is
just too massive for the dose. No. One shell should have been sufficient. Godzilla got
three shells, and one of them was fired directly into his mouth. So the dose
is lethal. I don't understand. Neither do ice
blocks. The refrigeration's off. When Godzilla attacked yesterday,
it took out the power plant. The hospital's generator can't cope with the overload.
What's the matter? I wonder if
Godzilla's temperature. Yes, I suspect he has a low temperature. Is it
important? We've no data concerning Godzilla's
body temperature, so I don't know, Doctor, why?
Bacteria breeds more slowly when the temperature's low. So the lower its
body temperature, the slower the effect. Oh, so you mean that the bacteria
won't work because it's a cold blooded creature? Yes, it's a possibility. So then,
if we can get Godzilla's temperature to rise. Yes, but how?
M6000TC system Karaki. TC system Thunder
Control System. It creates artificial thunder, causing high frequency waves
to generate clouds, then heat. Like a giant microwave oven. Karaki. We can't
hear that system. It's still in the research stage. All right.
That's. I believe. Yeah, that's the end of that. 20 minutes before we.
Now, before we go into our final 20. Okay,
so the bacteria will work, and it is eating the radiation. But because Godzilla
is a lizard and has very cold Blood temperatures.
Yeah, it's too. So the bacteria works much slower. So then
they have to warm Godzilla up by putting them on a giant heat rock
that's Godzilla sized so that the bacteria can eat his
radiation away, which is feeding him, and they can forcibly starve him
to death. Yeah, that is. That is correct.
Okay, That's. That's. That's everything going on
right now. So I don't. I don't know. Maybe. Do you want to move on?
Yeah, let's. Let's do it. All right. Rolling into the final 20. The army
gets everything set a big, like, trap area that has these kind of almost
mines. But the mines really warm up Godzilla. It'd be
super hot. They say it can melt the tank. And then they have laser antennas
to kind of keep them in place. Those are the masers I was talking about
a while back. They're definitely masers here. They don't start until
a couple of more movies in. I think eventually you will hear them refer to
them as masers. But that's definitely what these things are.
Yeah. So anyway, then we see the L lady
who is a psychic. She's drawing the flower in the stars.
Then we, you know, we're still having more of the army setting everything up.
Godzilla approaches. Godzilla steps in the first mine.
Everything's going. They're. They're raising his temp as
he's still standing on these things. Getting electrocuted,
however. Then he starts wrecking and he destroys the first line
of the fence. The ladies show up and they tell the
doctor that the plant's still alive. Godzilla then fights off
different helicopters which are trying to keep him in where he's supposed
to be. So the doctor
now wonders if Godzilla is now immune to all this stuff. You know,
the. The what? They fought into him. One of the ladies runs off and
sees lights in the sky. Spores start
falling and Balalante shows up. Ev. Now it
has a face. It spews on Godzilla.
Zilla. They fight a little bit more, but Godzilla then
falls and passes out. And this leads to our next clip. Look.
The bacteria's taking effect.
Dr. Shiragami, congratulations. One day we're
going to put all of this to good use. We have to isolate samples of
the gene and put them into production at once. I won't continue my work
on bacteria anymore. Biollantes convinced me of that. What is the matter?
You have to continue with your work, Doctor. You've got all the cells you'll ever
need. Godzilla and Bio aren't monsters. It's the unscrupulous scientists who create
them who are monsters. Little Frankenstein's
monster action in that dialogue. Yep, yep. So the spores go back
into the sky and then you hear a voice say, thank you.
And as the doctor is coming to realize that his daughter isn't.
Is still kind of alive in this boy Lenti,
all of a sudden he is shot by the hitman. The other dude,
doctor dude, chases after him. They get into a fight
and he pushes the dude under one of the, you know, big landmine
things that Godzilla's standing on. So he melts. He just dies.
The lady, the lady, who's that guy's girlfriend, shows up and he's like,
hey, are, you know, is the doctor all right? She's like, nope, he's dead.
So of course that that happened.
And the movie kind of deals with it like that. I. I got to point
out the guy pushes. Doesn't necessarily push him onto
the thing that's already heated up. The guy gets on there and tries to take
a shot at our. And the other army guy sees that. You'Re standing there
and fire up that mine to make it
do the superheating, and it just basically vaporizes the dude before he can get a
shot off. It's actually like cold blooded murder on the part of that military dude
who seems really satisfied with himself that he did that. Well, he said because he
killed the cold blooded murderer. Right? The guy's a fucking assassin. I'm not crying
over it or anything, but like, maybe. Maybe he should feel at least a little
bit bad that he did it that way. There's no due process on
that one. Yeah, exactly. But he is informed that the doctor
is dead. Godzilla then wakes up ahead, backs out to sea. And this
leads to our final clip.
And this lucky couple's going to America.
A nice thought, but I've canceled America.
Why is that? Because wherever you go, people are the same.
There's good and there's bad in every country.
Then where will you go? Well,
first of all, to bed, I should think.
I haven't slept in ages. Got room for
me? Do you snore?
Non stop.
How long have we been living in such an age?
Maybe it started when man first.
First stepped out of the Garden of Eden and left his
innocence behind. Man would do well to
remember this day forever. And then we
get some biblical bullshit there at the end. What the fuck? Yeah, yeah. I don't
know. Sounds. Sounds kind of dumb to me. Yeah. So anyway,
roll credits. Cinema PsyOps. 10 years.
10 years. Okay. I have a lot of things that I've said
negatively about this film, but the fight between Biollante and Godzilla,
which we didn' lot about, is pretty cool. Yeah, I figured we're wait, saving it
for this. It's pretty cool. There's a lot of sequences of exploding
plant blood acid stuff that like Godzilla
biting tentacles off. Yeah, yeah. He's like biting the plant tentacle
combination things or roasting them with his atomic breath.
And one of the reasons why I like this series more for Godzilla is
he goes right to atomic breath for like everything. Like a helicopter goes
past his head, he fries it like it doesn't fuck. Nothing fucking
matters. This Godzilla's like, I'm killing everything that comes near me.
Yeah, yeah. This Godzilla is the one that reemerges
that like all the 1954 ones are gone. It got buried in a fucking volcano.
So he re emerges after you know, 1954 to like 1984
or whatever. So 30 years that he'd been gone in that.
In this version of the series, he re emerges, fucks shit up. They lock him
in a volcano, which obviously would piss him off even more. He gets out
of the volcano he has to deal with with his Biollante shit. They shoot him
up with some fucking bacteria. They use biological warfare on him.
Then Biollante starts fighting with him. And he still does his best to fuck up
biollante. And then he just gets too tired because he gets too overheated
with the fucking bacteria inside of him. But then they
didn't pay enough attention because he falls into the water, which cools him back off
enough for him to get up and go away. And I'm pretty sure that he's
going to overcome that bacteria. So like the cadmium bullets
last week we now have, you know, this,
this Godzilla is now going to be resistant to bacteria
that eats radiation and cadmium. I guess it's like
when you do too much antibiotics,
they become useless. Yeah, the super bacteria or
whatever from too much antibiotics. It's a possibility. Yeah,
we've already seen that once. You can't kill Godzilla. You only make him stronger.
And. Yeah, there we go. Good times.
Again. It's not. I enjoyed the movie. It was fun to see,
I suppose we saw it last week, but it was fun
to see Godzilla in a more modern time.
Yeah, these. This series will definitely deliver that.
Very less cartoonish looking at this point.
Very much more violent. A lot more oriented towards grown ups
that kind of grew up with the original run of Godzilla. And they want
to have a little bit more in their Kaiju. I Mean, yeah, lots of
people die in these films. In the version Versus series,
lots of people. Like Godzilla's fallen into buildings that they aren't
getting evacuated in time quite frequently in these.
Yes, yes, more people die, which is, which is good.
That's a good thing. And I think they were saving a little bit of money
by having Godzilla go out to a lake and, you know, they can reuse
their water pit to fight the initial Rose version
of Biollante. And then they have him go to a mountain so that they have
an open set. They don't have to worry about trashing some buildings. And yet he
still walks through a cityscape and fucks it the fuck up for a good portion
of this film as well. They're definitely. Yeah, they're definitely spending the money
where they need to be spending it. Yeah. Was this
movie maybe about 20 minutes too long, probably? Oh,
yeah, that's a, That's a downside to the Versus series. They're a little
bit longer and there's a lot more human stuff that is boring as
shit. Like, we didn't need any of this, like, intrigue of this guy running around
trying to steal stuff for his country. You know, it's just they throw
a little extra stuff in because they want to. They want to try and keep
your attention and they want to try and keep it a little more grown up.
And the geopolitical commentary stuff that they end up putting in the
last two films that we've covered this week or this recording session is
basically kind of a little bit of just stuff that they're padding it out
with to get the longer run time. And honestly, all that stuff can be gone.
Just deal with the direct science and like, some of the stuff with the G
cells a little bit and just give me the monsters battling it out in this
bacteria thought, you know, but the, the. The series is basically responding
so far with Godzilla, with, hey, let's shoot them with these magic bullets, or let's
shoot them up with this biological weapon. Like, this is
the solution for a lot of things. At one point they're like, hey, let's shoot
a black hole at him and see what happens. You guys want
to shoot some, I don't know, fucking A nuke at
this point? Well, not. No, they did try it, but they were
going to try it in my movie, but that ended up having to be a
backfire where they didn't want to do that because then it ends up nuking the
area that he's attacking, which is Japan. So that's why they don't do it
in this. Although you do see that in the Monsterverse in like the 50s,
they try to drop a nuclear bomb on a better looking Godzilla.
That's in the actual Monsterverse series for
like the legendary films of Godzilla, that version of it. There was a
monster verse like the Monarch, the series that's on Apple
tv, I think it is. There's actually a sequence where they
attract Godzilla to a nuclear bomb and then blow it up.
And he didn't look like he does in the very first 2014
Godzilla movie at that time. That's actually a heavily scarred
Godzilla that got burnt by radiation from that bomb blowing up
and then observed absorbed all of the radiation after the
bomb went off. But the blast actually scorched him up and made him look kind
of like that in that rough. Well,
that happens. Yeah, it's just. That's something that
happens. Well, and then 2014, like they light off a nuclear
bomb that ends up, you know, raising him again and, you know, all of that
kind of stuff. But you always gotta raise them again. Right. It comes
all the way down to. At this point, Toho decided they didn't
want to watch Godzilla eat. So what Godzilla ends up doing is absorbing radiation.
And that's how he eats. That's how he lives. He's always close to the center
of the earth to absorb radiation is the idea that that's what he does when
he's resting and when he doesn't come back around. But when he's really, really wanting
a snack, he's gonna come up and eat. A nuclear facility like we saw in
my movie. And they were worried about the nuclear facilities
in this film because they were actually trying to defend them. But no, he was
going for that Biollante rose because it. Him. Him. It. Yeah,
I guess. Yeah. I mean, you're not wrong.
Well, we can move on. Why don't we do a quick story time and then
get the out of here for everybody? What do you think? All right. All right.
Why not? All right, so I'm going to play on the pirate radio edit Richard
Marks with the song Right Here Waiting, which was also released in 1989.
Like Godzilla versus Biollante. And Biollante was right
there waiting for Godzilla too. So it fits. Come back,
we'll have a story time.
More and more realities were engulfed in the matrix of connected
Mobius Loops of annihilation, as each court working on the project individually
had discovered and created the same invention without ever realizing other
versions of themselves were doing the same work. Only one of all
of the mad scientist versions of Cort was completely inept
and unable to accomplish the most remedial of tasks. To connect with
other realities, manipulate the time chicken, or even
properly create a podcast. The only thing he was ever any good
at doing was using his family's ill gotten gains in mining to purchase
companies and sloppily rebrand them as his own company and himself as the
founder. Seriously, this specific Cort is so pathetic.
He pays people to level up characters to pretend that he likes video
games in an attempt to feel cool. It is a widely accepted
fact that this is the absolute worst version of Cort that ever existed.
Seven Court is his chosen moniker. So Matt, how long
has it been since you've had to hear that Richard Marx song that we totally
played live for us to listen to and didn't make everybody else suffer for
him? Not long enough.
I don't hate Richard Marx, but that's not my favorite song.
Actually I don't even know what my favorite song of his would be at this
point. Honestly, I don't think. I don't hate him, but I don't have a favorite
song of his nor do I have like a most hated song.
Like there's nothing that he has done that's, you know,
made my energy go up or down that much.
You're just completely non plus by the guy, right? Yeah, pretty much.
Well, let's hope nobody has that reaction to your story time. Of course they
will.
Story time. Game.
Story time. And I still play the whole thing for you.
Yes, thank you. Well, it's sports ball season. The NCAA
tournament is currently happening, so I have. My story time is pretty
much. I've spent my last like three days at
a sports bar watching the NCAA tournament.
My bracket is looking outstanding because this is one of my favorite
times a year. My very own basketball team,
however, just lost last night in the second round
and it hur me they probably should have won that game,
but whatever. Anyway, the story time is this. So the
sports bar I go to, I'm kind of pretty well known at.
I go there all the time. It's one of my favorite places to go.
And anyway, I come walking in and the guy who kind of runs the place,
he goes, matt, because I came in on Thursday morning
and he goes, matt, I thought you died. I go, what do
you mean? He goes, somebody came in, I guess Wednesday,
even though we had a blizzard here on Wednesday. Which by the way, that should
have probably been a story that was insane,
that blizzard everything up. But he
goes, they were still. He was he made it in there and then he
just kind of stayed open a bit. You know, he runs it. He sent like
old waitresses home and stuff. He goes, yeah, go home because it'll be safer for
you there. And then he got a few people who came in. He goes out,
what the hell? Because he's the decision maker there. So he's like,
I can decide to stay myself. So he.
Somebody came in and it was this woman. And she goes,
matt died. And he go, matt who? She goes,
yeah, no, you know him. He's about 46, which is my
age, give or take. And so
he was like, what? And then she showed a picture and it wasn't
me. But what made him nervous was the first picture she showed.
There was a guy in the picture with this guy who looked very
much like me. So for he. He was like, for 10 minutes I thought you
had died. But then I'm like, but I don't know. He's like, I didn't know
who this woman was. I never. He goes, I knew it wasn't your wife.
And I'm like, maybe did Matt have a girlfriend? I'm like, well,
if case, that would be the reason I'd be dead. Yep.
Yeah. If I somehow had a magical other girlfriend,
I would certainly would have been a dead man in every sense of
the word. But yeah, so there's my story time. People thought
I died. Wow. Well,
I'm really glad that they were wrong, Matt. Yeah, me too.
It's a good thing. All right, well, why don't
we get the out of here with that very happy note of Matt's still alive.
Alive and kicking everybody. And we're gonna.
We're gonna go ahead and play the show Housekeeping. And immediately following that on the
pirate radio edit, arguably the best song that we have played yet for
this show. Young MC with Bust a Move, also released in 1989
immediately following this. If you've decided you can't get enough.
Of the show, it is a widely accepted fact that this is the
absolute worst version of Cort that ever existed. Seven Court
is his chosen moniker. Seven Court Court emerged as the one version
of Cort that was so self involved and narcissistic enough to steal
the credit for the creation of not only the concept of the Mobius
loop of annihilation, but also the execution and design of
the matrix of connected Mobius loops of annihilation. This design
was actually witnessed by a lab tech inside of the Edison electric
car plant's research facility that had created an alternate
reality viewing device and was Watching it be created by a parallel version
of Cort, the lab tech copied the plans and formulas for creating a
Mobius loop of Annihilation and connecting it to a matrix of other Mobius
loops. The stolen plans were delivered to Zevin Kord, who completely
misunderstood their purpose or what they represented, even after it
was explained to him using puppets and crayons multiple times.
Zevin immediately thought he could improve on the designs and formulas
and forced his employees to use his error prone formulas and anti
Semitic safety cost cutting measures to build a prototype in the hopes
of colonizing other realities. While still operating on the assumption
that the word annihilation in the name of the designs meant something completely
different than the accepted definition found in any reference material that defines
such things. These changes caused horrific malfunctions
and fractured the structure of the matrix of connected Mobius
loops of annihilation. The break in temporal space time within the
matrix once continued connected to Zevin's shoddy work ripped open the original
plane of reality that started all of their horrific existences.
The discovery of the source of their shared creations was realized in
that moment and all of the evil versions of Cort began working together.
The League of Evil Corts allowed Zevon to take credit for their work,
knowing all was to be annihilated by the loops, including him. The Evil corts
let Seven throw temporal damaging temper tantrums and play pretend
at being the great conqueror he dreamed to be. All the while they secretly
laughed behind his back. These temporal temper tantrums are exponentially
damaging to your currently perceived reality and are undeniably noticeable and
permanent as your reality grows more chaotic and idiotic with
each passing breath. If the reality in these transmissions seems like
a fiction written as a satire, this is in no way from copying it or
making a commentary on anyone currently living. Get it? No persons
living or dead are referenced in any way. Similarities are because your
reality's warping to become as awful as the fictions depicted on this
show.
Yeah, just get up and bust them out. Yeah, yeah, come on Fat. So just
move and I'm like, he's talking to me. Yeah, I feel so
seen right there.
Well, while you're out there trying to unpack that self deprecating humor,
I would advise, advise you to not do that. Just go ahead and enjoy the
song, I remember you from Skid Row and Kick the fuck out
of this week and make it your bitch.
We realize this information is a lot to absorb right now.
Even if no persons living or dead are referenced in any way, any similarities
are because your reality's warping to become as awful as the fictions
depicted on this show and not for any other reason. Perhaps this song
will clear up how this is all a fictional universe and not really the reason
everyone is going to be annihilated in your reality.
Listen to the story of the Z Von.
You may think it's BS but I assure you it's
no fun. There's a man I knew name Zon.
Cheap bagel, bacon, dental extraordinaire.
Now his name is superhero. It all started
in 1954. Him and his
family have generations of men be using
his parents money to buy our properties. Y'all now
has a deal. He let him live only if he took the credit.
Hip on Zon still we.
You know Zon cuz he owns all the
factories. Listen children, he's the hero
that will teach you children that you two fender to calm
the sis.
It's just that it's destroying my bloodshed boner. Okay.
Yeah. Your bloodshed boner lasts more than four hours.
I rented out my womb. I rented out my womb. Your bloodshed boner
owner lasts more than four hours. Yeah, I see you, but I don't
hear you. Hello. Yeah. Now I hear you. There we go. Yay. I hear and
see you. So that means that we can. Well, I hear and see your avatar.
But that means we can do this recording in progress.
Yay. All right, obviously we're gonna do your episode
first. So we have to do the atchiskatchen back and forth with time shifts and
all of that. Yes, but I'm ready to rock if you are. We're already
recording. Yeah, let's do it. All right, if we need to, we'll drop out clips
and everything, but I think we're sitting. Okay, if we do about an hour a
piece to get you out by 4:30, I think. Yeah, I think so. All right,
so let's stop fucking around and let's go ahead and get started. Let's do it.
All right. Episode 504, 3, 2,
1. Bev's upstairs taking a shower cuz she dyed her
hair and the noise of the fucking water flowing
through the pipes is coming through my mouth. Tell me something, love, Jesus,
why do you suddenly. All right, we're good. Finally. Stop.
So a bunch of kids. Holy shit.
Okay, it's over. Three minutes. Jumping around. They literally talk
about everything they're gonna do before they do it right. This is
like the cliche for all Japanese movies that people always
talk about with the over talker aspects of everything.
Yes, they literally way Over. Explain everything.
All right, coming back in three, two, one.
God damn it. All right. Three, two, one. All right. They may have to listen
to it on the pirate radio edit, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna listen
to it before we go into your story time.
He was a trickster a good for nothing brick by
the power that he held inside his family was big
horse run by Greek Let their power be the
fake inventions of the man who lives eternally
as it tutored to give you all a word on how you can
be rich by using trick and frauds as good fun oh,
thanks to Sivan above his can grow
cause he's a man of wealth so y'all have bad choices
Adore him. Zevon red for all sandwiches
Nothing will go wrong cause this man is a
genius. Don't doubt them, Sivan. Watch those who
you know asleep make them meet those trucks that make them
love the medium.
No persons living or dead are referenced in any way. Any similarities
are because your reality's warping to become as awful as the fictions
depicted on this show. Well, while you're
out there trying to unpack that self deprecating humor, I would advise you
to not do that. Just go ahead and enjoy the song.
I remember you from skid Row. And kick the out of this week and
make it your. All right, we're not gonna actually have to listen to that because
it's a love ballad and we got a break anyway, so we're going to stop
it here. Yeah, yeah, they'll have to listen to it, but you won't have
to listen to it. But they will also have
to listen. To this recording stopped.
