Cinema_PSYOPS_EP506: Giant Monsters FSU: Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth 1992 (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 Sylops.
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 Sylps 10.
10 years 10 years hello.
And welcome to the 506 consecutive week of
Cinema Psyops. I'm your host, Kort. The guy that's really not sure
if we watched Godzilla vs. Mothra or Godzilla and Mothra, the battle
for Earth. All I know for sure is that Batra was in this and that
was fucking awesome. And joining me in the joy of seeing Batra for the very
first time is my co host, Matt. It was nice seeing Battra.
That Batra, that son of a Batra. I enjoy Batra
quite a bit. I actually really dig a dark Mothra idea.
That's very cool. Yeah. And he's even that dark of a moth idea
because he's just trying to save Earth. Right. All he gives a shit about is
saving the planet. Because the planet in this is somehow a living being,
I guess. Well, I mean, technically, if you think about it, Earth is a living
creature. Yeah, I'm sure. And we are the virus that's slowly killing it.
And that's why it's. That's also trying to kill us.
That's why I subscribe to the theory that we are actually.
Our ancestors were originally from Mars because we weren't built
for this planet. Weird. We're going to try and go back and
terraform Mars because some moron thinks that that's his destiny.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, fuck that. Yeah.
Fucking. Let's just. Shit. Let's just leave it at that. It's just an
idiot thinks he can go to Mars, which is not going to happen. But anyway,
and I wish he would. I wish you would. But right now I want to
go. Like right now and leave the rest of us behind. Leave the rest
of us alone. Go have your Mars planet. All right. Just leave
the rest of us alone. One of the things I do like about this Godzilla
and Mothra, the battle for Earth, or Godzilla vs. Mothra from 1992,
is that it kind of makes Mothra more of a
spiritual goddess kind of. And. Or a force
of nature almost. And also the same thing with Batra.
And by doing that, they can give them extra super duper powers
that make us believe that this, which is unarguably the most evil
version of Godzilla that got cropped up from my movie
and timelines being fucked with. Yeah, this is.
This is these newer Godzilla movies. Godzilla's a prick. Yeah,
he's really fucking evil and it's great. Yeah,
yeah, he's a real asshole. He's not here to save people
or earth. He's. He's here to fuck shit up and then leave.
And it's kind of our fault again. Well, yeah, it's always our fault.
I mean, let's face that. Yeah, but I'M not saying Godzilla's wrong
at all for what he's doing. I'm just saying.
Yeah. And it does return Godzilla last week into an even more primitive
and violent nature, which is kind of cool. But that Godzilla is
somehow transported into this film where we now have guardians
to protect the earth that are somewhat supernatural but are still definitely Kaijus.
And one of them just so happens to be Mothra. So we're going to follow
all the Mothra rules. And then the other one is the opposite of Mothra or
an antithesis of Mothra. And that Mothra. Go ahead.
When we get to it, it's a Mothra that doesn't use his wings for that
sonic wind he has. Mothra now has magic dust and lightning.
That's it. Yeah. They give him extra or different powers.
And we're going to see a hybrid version of Mothra coming up
in some Mothra movies we'll be covering because our giant monsters fucking shit up
is going to take a Mothra detour coming up in a couple of weeks.
And we're going to do. There were three Mothra movies released in the 90s we're
be covering. All right, well, nobody needs to hear any of this. What they actually
need to hear is us actually talking about the movie, not just talking around the
things that are about to happen. So let's just go ahead and do that.
I'm going to go ahead and play the Legion Patreon ad and then immediately following
that on the pirate radio edit like we've been doing all along.
Songs released in the same year as the movie. So for Godzilla versus Mothra,
it's 1992 and up first on the pirate radio edit is
Chris Cross with the song Jump immediately following this. This will
keep you quiet. Oh, hi there. I didn't see you.
You call me cutting a new show. I'm Ransdell and I'm
one of the many creators you can find on Legion Punk.
The garbage heap of the future became a multi plane surface inhabited by
a repeatedly created anachronistic cast off of the Mobius loop
of annihilation known as the Witch. It was discovered this being is named
this because they are a direct result of that which is salvageable about humanity,
combining with the survivalist instinct embedded within its collective unconsciousness
that refuses to give up hope or to be cruel in order to live.
The witch is the antithesis of Zevon and the League of Evil Courts behind him.
The existence of any W in the garbage heap meant that the loop that created
them could not be completed 7 learned this knowledge after a follower in his
doom cult observed another universe, discovering the true nature of
the witches and proving it using proper scientific methods and techniques.
The automated bunker systems that sustain these witches underwent the
most drastic measures to hide them and keep timelines existing so that they
could continue as well. The following audio is from when one such
bunker failed at its task and tried to spirit its witch away.
For the sake of my own sanity, I will not be explaining this concept
again and will simply leave it to the name the Mobius Loop of Annihilation.
The garbage heap of the future was not the only side effect of
the Mobius Loop of Annihilation. By connecting this loop of annihilation to
every instance of the existence of humanity, that self destruct,
Ted, the membranes that separated the altered realities began
to break down where variations were minimal. Okay, so I exist
in a garbage dump that I remember was my garbage dump. And I was happy
there. That's been created in a void located
inside a loop that is designed to remove humanity.
Humanity from ever existing. And then
my entire existence is sustained from the paradox that this
loop generates. Okay, so this, this is. This is hurting my
brain. All right? This is hurting my brain.
I. I just. I don't want to be Demolition
man anymore, B. Just want to go back to watching videos.
Right? I missed that. I enjoyed it. I got the occasional visit.
People dropped in, weird stuff happened. It was kind of fun.
Can we not just give me a little.
It is a non terminating recursion in the form of circular reasoning
or infinite regress. When this recursion creates a metaphysical impossibility
through contradiction, the regress or circularity is vicious.
Why can't you just say paradox?
So one of them is the Mack Daddy and the other one is the Daddy
Mac. They were little kids and they called themselves the Mac Daddies and
the Daddy Macs. Yeah, yeah. They were crisscross and
they wore their clothes back backwards. Right? And they were not a fad. No.
How dare you, sir? Those. Those two kids are national treasures.
Well, why don't you explain to us the national treasure from Japan that
is Godzilla versus Mothra from 1990, right? The first 20 minutes.
Starts Meteor crashes to earth and sends out a typhoon.
We got a guy who looks like he's an archaeologist. He's. He finds a
statue and he's obviously stealing it. Everything starts crumbling around
him though. But he's able to get out, but he gets caught by the cops.
This has one of my favorite things. Indiana Jones. Yeah, this is one of my
favorite kind of Things that they do in these types of adventure films
where a character is trying to climb or run across things that are
falling apart below them, where you actually see the stonework crumbling below them and
they're running across stones that are just starting to fall apart just as they
get away from them. But this one, he is climbing up a bunch of
stairs as the staircases are falling apart underneath him.
And it's actually pretty cool. Even though it is very obviously a very bad
Indiana Jones reference and ripoff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We get a couple
of these. This is like, the second one that we've gotten, because there was one
in. My movie, too, that's also true. Yeah, this is back when they were
just trying to. I don't know, I think everyone wanted to copy Indiana Jones.
And that has never ended. Matt, you act like that ended once. It has
not. Yeah, no, no. Every archaeologist, they always had the same hat as
Indiana Jones. They all wear tan. Like, all tan.
Just get your own, like. And it's always like a slight change.
So it's like, can I copy your homework? Yeah, but, you know, change a little
bit so they know it's not the same. Rename your variables to something
different. Yeah, exactly. So gets visited
in jail by a bunch of corporate dudes and his former
lady friend who he shares a daughter with. We find out. And we also find
out he's a deadbeat dad. Yeah. In the English dub, which I watched,
they refer to him as her ex. Like, they keep talking
about each other's exes. Yeah. And so they're actually, like, divorced. And he's
apparently a super deadbeat because he hasn't even paid any alimony. Oh, so you
got English, huh? Yeah. Well, okay, we can explain that at the 20 minute
break as to why that happened. But yeah, and hold on. The very.
Everything for me is subtitles, except for the very beginning and
then another part later where there was English. When the meteor was crashing,
they were at NASA in America and they literally had them speaking
American with Japanese subtitles. And I'm like,
that's actually a pretty cool way of doing it. Yeah, they actually have done that,
you. Know, because it's released in Japan. That's awesome that they didn't make a
whole bunch of white people start speaking Japanese. In the 1984
Return of Godzilla that we covered. There actually is a version of
that. If you watch the Japanese language dub with subtitles, you will
see that the Russian sub is speaking English for some reason.
And then it's subtitled in Japanese. That's. That's crazy too.
Not all white people speak English. Oh, I think
they know that. I think it was just they put it in that way.
No, they just don't care. Anyway, they offer him
to deal. They go check out where the meteor crashed because it's earth
up, he can go free. He was like, you didn't know if he wanted to
do it, but then he was gonna get like 15 years in prison, so he
decided he better do it. So he takes the deal. So the
company dudes, they're talk and not really company. They're like a government agency.
They're talking about they're going to send the lady with them as well as X.
And they kind of laugh about that, saying that they still obviously have feelings
for one another. They find out that the meteor is slowly
destroying earth from its impact zone. Like plates are
shifting, all that kind of shit. So the dude,
our lady, and then a different corporate guy from a different
company, they all go to the area, I think because the, the company owns this
land or whatever. So they have an issue with the bridge.
Like they're crossing bridge and it collapses. They all take a dive
in the water. Then they're rowing and they come to like a dead
end where it's like a waterfall. So they decide to set up camp that
night the two talk about their daughter and you know, he's kind of
looking at pictures, realizing he up the next
morning he wakes up everyone saying he found a secret passage.
So they go through there and we see a painting of moss. And then the
sun hits this like symbol thing and it leads them
to another passage where they find what they thought
was going to be the meteor. And that is the end of that 20 minutes.
It's important to note that the whole them going across the bridge that collapses
underneath them and goes flying, that was like a total reference to
Indiana Jones as well with. Oh yeah, the very ending
or the close to be ending of Temple of Doom where they're all hanging off
that bridge that Indy cuts with the alligators below.
Right. But they have to jump into the river and then they just end up
taking the river anyway with the raft that
they had been carrying with them for some reason. Yeah, I don't know where that
raft came from, but you know, I guess kudos to them for,
you know, having it ready. Right. And they do explain that the moth
characters that's on there, at least in the English language dub, they actually give you
a little backstory on both Battra and Mothra. And that's where they
talk about how Mothra was there to
protect the people, but the earth, being a being of its own sense
or something like that, actually created Battra to protect itself and then wiped out that
advanced civilization. They go through this whole thing and explain that? Yeah, no, and in
mine it. That waits until. Until we meet the cosmos.
Well, the cosmos explain that to it. Yeah, the cosmos tell you that stuff
too. But like they do tell a little bit in the English language dub where.
The ladies say, I didn't see that on mine, but, well, you know,
they didn't give me a lot. The English language dub is clearly spoon feeding
some shit to people is what I'm getting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta help these
guys out. And the reason that you didn't get an English language dub in this
one is I have a bunch of these where I had digital copies as well.
And the Blu Rays all have English language tracks. So I automatically
assumed that the digital versions of these would also have English language
tracks. And I have watched them on this streaming site
that I have them available through. It used to be like Vudu and it's
like they changed the name and now it's like Fandango at home or whatever.
But it all stems from the same digital lockers. That goes all the
way back to Ultraviolet days. Right? That's where this stuff came from.
Well, sometimes they lose rights issues for certain things and then you lose
access to certain things on these digital lockers. And guess
what it was. The English language tracks on a lot of these Godzillas are now
gone. For whatever reason, whenever these companies have changed hands multiple
times. Isn't that fucking weird? Like it makes no sense why
it would be that way. Yeah, but it's. This is just how it happened.
The rights are gone. They can't stream it for us. So now I'm
going to have to go back and rip a bunch of these Blu Rays to
files that have the English language tracks just so we can have
clips again. Just so we can make it through this and not having to explain
all this weird shit. And this is one of the weirdest ones to have
to try and explain. Oh God, this one fucking was murdering
me. Yeah. Without clips. Like, this is going to be terrible for you
to try and explain, which somehow will make a much better shot for everybody
else because they love to hear you suffer. Yeah, yeah. I mean, listen, you're not.
Thank God you got an English subversion because you're going to fill
in a lot of missing pieces. I feel before this is all said and done.
Right. I'm going to do My best to explain what is going on in
the English language track and kind of give you some backup.
Including that they did do a little bit of the explanation of the
previous civilization and they show that in the cave painting. A little bit. A little
bit in English language track. Anyway, we can go, we can move on.
It's fine. All right. So they discover it and they like the media meteor doesn't
appear to be a meteor because it's no metal, no anything. It more.
It resembles more of an egg. So then
the cosmos show up and they tell the story of Mothra and
Barda or better. Thank you.
So they tell the cosmos tells them their ancient
civilization that tried to control the Earth's climate 12,000
years ago, thus provoking the earth into creating Batra.
Batra, a male divine moth with a ferocious
appearance that vaguely resembles Mothra. It destroyed
the civilization and their weather controlling device.
But then became uncontrollable and started to harm the very
planet that created them. Mothra was sent by the earth to
fight Batra who eventually lost the cosmos
explain how the meteor uncovered Mothra's egg
and also may have awoken Batra who is
embittered over humanity's inter in the earth natural
order. There you go. So basically
this is all the result of climate change. It's all humans
fault. It's humanity. This is 1992. We're talking about climate
change back then. So humanity did this again in ancient times where
it got too big for its britches and wrecked the planet. Therefore, Batra destroyed
an ancient civilization we will never get back. Send us back into the stone ages.
Mothra protected us from being completely eliminated and
put Batra to sleep. Sleep. And now a meteor has struck the earth,
awakening everything and realizing that humans have
once again the planet and deserve to be erased.
Exactly. The corporate dude he calls his boss who's really
high strung and just a human being.
So like it's Elon Musk. And he.
It's a businessman doing business plans. They're all evil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. He says to bring
the egg to Tokyo. The cosmos agree to
go with everyone and with the E. And they.
A ship comes and takes the egg. However, there is something in
the water and it is coming for
mainland. The air force tries to fight it, but it loses. And Batra
then shows up and like destroys underground parts of the city.
Like it's burying underground comes up and destroys the city.
The boat coming back with the egg. And all of a sudden here's our man.
Godzilla shows up and attacks it, trying to Destroy the egg.
Well, our Indiana Jones dude wants to let the egg go because
that's what Godzilla wants. So they. But corporate guy
wants to fight him. They fight, corporate guy loses, and they let the
egg go. Well, the egg hatches and here comes baby
Mothra out and he tries to help the boat by, you know, giving Godzilla
a facial. I just want to point. Looks like it's what it looks like.
I know. We get it. And I just want to point out right off the
bat that Godzilla is always going to attack
by sea at his opponent's most vulnerable moment and try
to murder his opponent before he even has to give it a good chance to
fight. There will always be. Yeah, always be a
dirty fighting Godzilla attacking by sea. And it's established here in
1992. So when he comes after Kong in
the same scenario in the American version of Godzilla vs. Kong or King
Kong vs. Godzilla or whatever you want to call it that they did in the
20 arts, and he tries to drown Godzilla in the sea. Yeah.
And, like, overturn the boat and shit. That is so on brand for this version
of Godzilla from 92. Like, it's the same Godzilla. Yeah. In a.
In a fight to the death, there is no such thing as fighting dirty.
Yeah. And when you're Godzilla and you can breathe underwater and your opponent
can't. Or. Yeah. In this case, if you're Godzilla and your opponent
is still an egg, you gonna try and fry it before it hatches. Yeah.
Even if it hatches and it's a little zygote, you're going to fucking try to
kill it. Right. Because it's going to be a problem. And Godzilla
doesn't deal with problems well in this. He just destroyed Godzilla.
Ate part of that for a problem. All right. You don't want none of that.
He got 99 problems, and a Mothra lava ain't going to be one.
Fucking A right. So anyway,
Zilla Godzilla beats Mothra, though, is just
a baby. Then Battera shows up and he started.
He starts fighting Godzilla. They go underwater where they both disappear
into a volcano. And that's the end of that. 20 minutes before we go
to the next. Battra has laser beam powers
in its larval state that are super powerful and
are almost like King Ghidra style lightning attacks that are.
Yeah, dude, it was pretty good. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was. That is,
if you're going to fight Godzilla as another Kaiju, you better
have some, I don't know, some laser bolts
that come out of you some way. It's. It's.
Going to give you a fighting chance for sure. Yeah. Well, because with the atomic
breath, man, you got to have something that can fight that. Yeah. And the other
thing to point out, too, is the model work in the city. Whenever Batra was
running through the city and destroying it is incredible. It looks great
just to kind of not to a spoiler
alert. The models are all awesome, and the Kaiju
fighting is all awesome in this movie. It's fucking great. Shit.
Yeah. This is one of my favorites because of the battles and
the way that they're able to make two flying creatures actually feel menacing
in this. And it's the most badass version. We get a Mothra
to date. And also, Batra becomes the sort
of. Sort of like a prototype of a good
opponent against Godzilla to reuse time and time again
with the can fly and also shoot lasers from flying, but also
the larva state being able to shoot the lasers, you know, the ground battle that
it's able to do, I really thought was cool as well.
And it just really powers up the Kaiju
fighting Godzilla enough to actually make them feel like a threat.
And you're like, oh, shit, no. These are some powerful fucking beings.
He's taking on supernatural stuff at this point. Yeah.
It was so good that I still
was able to enjoy it without understanding a single fucking thing that was going on.
But you don't. In a good Kaiju movie, you don't really have to understand the
story. You just understand who's fighting who, what's what.
Yeah. And honestly, if we weren't doing it for the show, I don't pay attention
to anything other than the battles, honestly. That's right. I totally do
not. I don't care about your human emotions and whether you're a
good father or husband or not. No. And I could care
a lot less about your fucking Steven Spielberg knockoffs that you're doing
during this film as well. I really could. Yeah. I just. I just want the
catch. Kaiju shit. Yeah. And when you do get the Kaiju shit, it's fucking incredible.
The underwater battle between Godzilla and Battra with the,
like, firing off of the atomic breath and the lasers back and forth.
Yep. It's like. It's like a wizard battle. But, like, you actually see the Bloodshots
coming out of the people whenever they're getting hit by these spells, you know?
Oh, yeah. Like, it's a really brutal fight. And granted,
it's hard to see a lot about what's going on because of all the bubbles
when they're trying to sell that it's underwater. Yeah, but I
thought that was a. Cool little aspect to do though, is having a fight underwater.
Yeah, no, it was a. A really, really cool battle that they did where
they're underwater and it still looked awesome from
what you could get for like in the 90s. Absolutely. And the
only problem was whenever they were doing physical stuff, they were just a little too
obscured by bubbles for you to be able to see some of the physical hits
and battles that they were trying to do. But all the animated stuff with the
bubbles looked great. And they must have spent a ton just animating bubbles
around them to sell that they were underwater too. Yeah, exactly. It was
still cool. We can move on. Sorry, I just needed to point out. All right,
we start the next 20 minutes. We're in Manila. We know it because tells us.
Thanks movie. Thanks movie. I. I always like when a movie does some good
for us and helps us out. Cosmos are
sleeping in the hotel room. Corporate dude is getting drunk.
And the dude and our lady are having a nice dinner, talking about life.
The next day we find out the Cosmos has been taken by corporate
dude to his boss. The boss states that now they'll work for them,
make appearances and such. The dude and the lady get back
to in to their city and the airport. But the dude dips out at everybody
when he sees his daughter because he can't face her because he's a prick.
What a coward. Yep. So the Cosmos,
they get a phone call that like the government people get a phone call that
the Cosmos will not be returned by the corporation and they're going
to keep a. So then we hear the
Cosmos, they're singing. And we see that the workers at the corporation
can't find them. So now they're missing from them as well. Well, Mothra is on
his way because he hears the singing. Then we see our dude.
And here's the next English part of the movie. The dude is meeting with an
American dude. He wants. He has the Cosmos, our Indiana Jones guy.
And he wants to sell them for. A cool million, which makes
him even bigger scumbag than the corporate folks because he could
have set them free and he knows what he's doing is wrong.
Exactly. Well, the army is forced to attack Mathra,
but it doesn't help. And the Cosmos keeps singing. So either
Mathra keeps coming. The lady who is the mom and
the. The our lead female character, she has a friend who can hear the Cosmos
when they sing. So she's trying to. To locate them more psychics cropping back
up to Verse God in some way. And not even explained either.
Nope, just psychics. You just believe in psychics over there. Just deal with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So then Mothra
is in Tokyo and he is up trying to get to the cosmos.
Corporate dudes are watching from the window and they're like, God, we should leave.
Or the. The one corporate dudes like, boss, we need to leave. And the boss
is just a. He's like, kill it and I'll rebuild
Tokyo. I'll do it. You know, he's an. Yeah, he's like your typical corporate
raider. So the. They found the. The ladies
find the Cosmos, the hotel they're being held at, and there.
And Mothra is on its way there as well. The mom to the diner
find dad with the cosmos, and the daughter shames her dad
into doing finally the right thing. And he admits he was wrong and he'll help
them all out. He's a huge coward dick, but at least his daughter was able
to talk to him. Which is why you want to avoid his daughter. Because his
daughter shamed him into doing the right thing. Exactly.
Then, well, they got to leave because Mothra is almost to the hotel.
That's the end of that 20 minutes before we get into the next 20.
I think had you had the English language dialogue version of
this, we would be very clip heavy on a lot of these. Oh, God,
human points. I saw so many things that would have been clips in this where
I'm just like, yeah, I would have clipped that. I would have clipped that.
I would have clipped that. Yeah. See, had I gotten you the English language
version of this, it would be a very different show and it would not be
moving as quickly as what it is here. We're what, like 60 minutes into the
movie already, right? Yeah. It is a longer movie, though, so that's good.
Yeah, it's an hour and 40 minutes for sure. And it makes you wait
for walking ever to get into this serious Kaiju action.
It just kind of teases you with like, larva versions of
both Batra and Mothra fighting Godzilla and just kind of
keeps you going before. Yeah, you're waiting for them to turn into the
Mothras, you know? Yeah, the actual larvaes. Yeah. You want them to
actually be the winged versions of themselves, and you're ready for some
throwdowns to start happening with a fully powered sets of Kaiju.
But instead it goes back to this human story. And again we have the
pixie singing girls getting kidnapped again by evil.
Could not corporate raiders, like, have they never learned from
Any of the previous movies. Oh, that's right. No, this reality is
completely different. And this is a completely different version of Mothra. And this is the
first time that they've encountered humans in this reality. And look,
nobody even knows what a Mothra is. Yeah. And look what we do to them
right off the bat. They get right off the bat. We fuck around.
Yeah, yeah, they get right off the bat. They get snatched up by fucking
evil Corporate Raider mother like. Yeah. Human beings
just can't help themselves, but have to exploit everything like pure
and simple. We're just the worst. Yep.
All I'm saying is Bachelor is right. Okay? To want to wipe out civilization and
all of humanity. Bachra is right. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I don't.
I don't blame Batra at all. Son of a Batra. So we
can move on. All right, so the next 20 starts.
Mothra does attack the hotel. But it they.
The daughter pleads the cosmos to help. They say, of course
we will. Just take us to where we can see Mothra. So they
take. And they talk to Mothra. Mothra calms down and he's getting ready to leave.
And the army still attacks because we're as a race,
as human beings, we're shits.
Well, and to be fair, Mothra is destroying a lot of buildings on the way
out. So the military is trying to stop that, I suppose. But you
know what? Just calm the fuck down. Anyway, Mothra then heads for the
Diet Building. And then we cut to a guy
going, hey, Mothra isn't even half our problems because we got a volcano activity
that's going to start soon. Mothra then cocoons itself
in that building watching the news.
Cort boss sees the corporate boss sees the
cosmos on TV and he starts freaking out. Then an earthquake
hits and the volcanoes start exploding. Then we
cut to some weird scene where some guys were driving and they helped a mom
and daughter on the side of the road that went nowhere. I don't know why
that was included. But okay, I assumed that that was the guy's mom and Daugh
trying to flee and escape the city. And they got knocked out.
And then somebody stopped and rescued them. That wasn't the same mom and
daughter. The mom and daughter in the hotel. Well, that you paid more attention than
me. I have no idea. Then why they were there. Yeah, yeah. No, these were
two separate people. And you never see him again. You didn't see him before.
Well, at least they got saved. Question mark. Right?
Yeah. So corporate bosses, his empire is crumbling.
And in the corporate dude from you Know the safari.
He tells him that the earth is punishing him. So the corporate boss fires
him and he tells the boss off, tell him to go, you know, himself.
And that causes the boss to have a paperclips moment.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Took my paper
clips. Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. I, I'd ask
that question too. That's, that's some hardcore.
And as always, it's not about the paper clips, it's about the loss of profits.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It's not about nothing but loss of profits or status.
Because he also talks about his status. Status all the time. So it's not even
just profits, it's status. It's even worse. Yeah,
yeah. All he cares about is how he's perceived by the outside world because he
can't handle how he has to perceive himself. Yeah,
exactly. So then Godzilla
shows up and he's all pissed off. Godzilla doesn't just show
up. He is the fucking eruption. He busts out of the goddamn volcano.
Yeah, yeah. And we, we get some really good high tech,
but they go to find where he's at. That was real.
Those effects were, it's old school computer
effects trying to mimic like what would be modern or futuristic
effects of them scanning and like doing heat signatures and things like that.
But yeah, you're right, it's very dated and it doesn't work.
Yeah, so then Godzilla, we find out, yeah,
he busted through the Mount Fuji plate. There's more
singing. And then Mothra from the cosmos. And Mothra rises from
his cocoon, full Mothra. And then we see Batra, that motherfucker,
he just changes mid flight into, into, you know,
he changes, he doesn't even coco. He just changes into
his moth Persona. And so now those two just transforms
due to pure hate. Yeah, those two are going to try to fuck each other
up, Mothra and Battra. And all the while, while those two are fucking each other
up, Godzilla's made mainland and he's fucking up the army.
That's the end of that. 20 minutes before we go to the final. Godzilla emerging
from the earth and very clearly just busting out of
the mountain even before the movie tells you that's what he did is
some of the coolest fucking effect I've seen in a long time. Like, yeah,
they tried really hard to sell Godzilla coming out
of the ground in 1984. Godzilla, they tried hard to sell it in
like one of the Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla
in the 70s, where Godzilla just Comes up out of the ground and starts fucking
shit up. This by far is the best one because this is exactly
what would happen if Godzilla came up from below the earth in
any way, shape or form. It would be magma everywhere. And I don't know
if they explain it at some point in the English language version.
And I don't know if it's like, right when they say that he comes up
out of the mountain there but. Or causes the explosion
and busts through the plate there. But they actually talk about how they went into
a trench, both he and Battra, and he must
have swam through all of the magma under the earth till
he found another weak point here at Mount Fuji that he knew existed.
And he survived like the thousands and thousands of degrees swimming
through all of that. Yeah, they're talking about that. How hot it must have been.
Yeah. And then one guy was like, well, how is that even possible? And he's
like, it doesn't matter because it happened, right? Yeah,
yeah, it doesn't matter. It just is. Yeah. The other guy
was like, look, this is what had to have happened because he went in
one spot and he's coming out here. He had to have swum through all of
that in order to do this. There's no other way he could have done
that. Distance. He had to swim it. And it was like quite a. Quite a
distance that he swam through Magma. So that is the fucking Godzilla
that these two fucking moths are about to try and take
on, right? Yeah, yeah. We have two
moths is getting ready to fight a based an op
Godzilla right now. Yeah. That can swim through magma
like it's nothing. Liquid hot magma.
We can move on. I just wanted to point that out. Yeah, no, yeah.
It's fucking hardcore. So the final 20 starts. Zilla hits
the city as Mothra and Batra are fighting.
Then Batra is like, well, fuck this. He sees Zilla fucking shit up.
He's gonna go up Godzilla. He lasers a fucking building that
looks like it crushes Godzilla. Oh, yeah. They drop the building
on the AX Actor. They drop a piece of the building onto
the actor. It's great. It is. But just as
Batra goes to check out his, Zilla busts open and
bodies Batra. Absolutely bodies him.
It's a hell of a blast through the rubble. It's awesome. Yeah.
Cosmos then starts singing again. And Mothra aids
Batra. Then Zilla Mothra fight Mothra, dusts him
and then electrocutes that Godzilla. And it starts him
up. And the Cosmos even say this is his most pop, powerful Weapon for Mothra.
Yeah. Okay, so Mothra's dropping, like, glitter everywhere on Godzilla.
And, like, I should. He's making it fabulous, right? I should fucking hate
this. But it looks so gorgeous and it's so cool. And then they do the
electric stuff with it to where I'm like, no,
like, the. The things that are dropping on there must be some kind of,
like, hallucinogen or like a toxin that's fucking up Godzilla's perception.
And then it just starts. Plasma electrocute him. Yeah. And then,
like, all of a sudden, this Mothra can throw, like, fucking lightning as powerful
as a ghidra, and I'm in for it. Yeah. This is amazing for it.
I'm like, it. I'd like it to overpowered Mothra. It's good shit.
I would. I would submit to you that this is an appropriately powered Mothra,
considering what we had before. Right? That's true.
No more wind battles for you, motherfucker. I dust you
and then I give you lightning. Take this hallucinatory dust that's
going to leave you transfixed and unable to defend yourself,
and you're going to have a real good time. Godzilla like,
yeah, it hurts, but I'm high as. This is where
Godzilla learns that he no longer needs a safe word at this point. Yeah,
right. We can move on. Godzilla's like, I only do it once or
twice to calm down after a long day. Wow,
we can move on. So then. But then Godzilla
sends Mothra flying, like, just flying.
And then he uses
some atomic breath, and he's gonna crush him with a Ferris wheel.
But then Batra catches it. Mathra gets back up and starts fighting
God, Godzilla again. There's more atomic breath as he shoots at
him. Both Mothra and then Batra join up, and they
start up Godzilla together. And this looks like Godzilla is just
absolutely going to get fucked. There's a point where Batra turns
around with that Ferris wheel still holding onto it and smacks it
into Godzilla and sends him sailing onto his back. And again,
they tossed a fucking Ferris wheel that was bigger than
the actor onto the fucking actor and dropped it on them.
And it looks at incredible today. Man, that actor
should have won an Oscar. The Godzilla suit actors are
the best. And I salute all of them every time. Yes,
they are. They are quite literally badasses.
Yeah, punk as well. Then Batra, Mothra decide to have
a conversation, and they talk to one another, and then they start trying
to lift up Godzilla and they do this, but then Godzilla bites
Batra's neck. Well, they carry Godzilla away, and they get him
to the ocean. But then Zilla blows atomic
breath in to Batra's open wound, killing him. Mothra drops
them both into the ocean, sprinkles some magic dust down, which makes
the same symbol that we see in the caves, and it locks Godzilla
into the ocean. The Cosmos speak to all the people waiting and
they say goth Mothra will now leave the Earth because there's
a meteor getting ready to hit Earth that will end all life. And that was
going to be Badger's mission. And that was what they discussed. And Mothra
will now take up Badra's mission as thanks for helping him kill Godzilla
and saving humanity. So. So Cosmos
and Mothra leave Earth. As everyone waves goodbye,
the dad assures the daughter that one day Mothra will return.
And we have a roll credits. Cinema Psyops.
So there's a little thing in the end where the pixies actually,
like, start flying on their own and then turn into like, actual, like pixie lights
that then get absorbed into Mothra. I just want to point out that they
could have escaped at any time and just fl off apparently.
Yeah, like, you know, they wanted to hang out and see how everything went.
Or they just wanted to play the victim. And it's like all their fault that
Mothra came in and trashed the city anyway. Yeah, but no, we needed
Mothra here. And plus, that city was looking like garbage. You got to rebuild.
No, the point is that man got too big for his britches,
and that's why the Kaiju are there. This is a theme that carries
throughout a lot of Japanese, like, culture and like a lot of entertainment
that comes from over there. I submit to you that something came out around this
time in the 90s, known as Final Fantasy 7, where corporations
were raping the earth and giant monsters came up out of
the earth to reclaim the materia that was being harvested that was killing
the Earth and things like that. I mean, yeah, they knew in
the 90s. And it's only getting worse from there. Look at us now,
all these years later. It sucks even worse. Yeah, pretty much.
It's still just fucking terrible. Yeah. I really
love all of the sudimation in this and the
how they end up suspending both Batra and Mothra on watch
to have a physical thing that will swoop in at Godzilla.
The animations they do over top of everything are really.
They take their time and make sure that when they're drawing the laser blasts and
all of that kind of stuff, like when Mothra's getting hit by laser, like the
masers and things like that, or Batra is getting hit by them,
or whenever Battra is firing his laser powers, or Mothra
is firing from her antennae with her laser powers that she has now
all over everything, like, all of that stuff, they take the time to edit it
in very carefully and show you where they specifically are making
hits. And in some cases, you actually see, like, Godzilla get damaged
from it or one of the suits get damaged from where that ends up happening.
So they time a, like a little like, bang, snap, pop or
something like that on the suit for damage to show up when they do the
animations as well. And they really take their time on this one. And it's
really well done. And the models look incredible. The building that
falls on Godzilla not once, but twice, because Batra, like,
lasers the top half of it. And then at one point,
Mothra, I think, knocks the rest of it down on Godzilla,
too. Yeah, I mean, like. Or you just see Godzilla
walk right the fuck through a building in this, and there's people, like, fleeing from
the building as, like, an elbow goes in or something like that. It's really
well done, and there's a lot of attention to detail. And these
90s Kaiju films really, really want
you to believe that this giant monster is smashing buildings. Like, they're really
working. To think. I don't even want to know what
the death toll looks like. Yeah, but you are actually seeing
people suffering in these, and you're seeing what this type of
creature, when you could no way, shape or form
empty a city before it gets in there and starts wrecking it, you just couldn't.
Yeah, right. Yeah. Jesus. It's really well
done. Good shit. Yeah, yeah. And Batra is super fucking badass.
Like, from the moment that it appears, it's just wrecking
shit left and right. And it's sort of like a Godzilla version
of Mothra in that it doesn't necessarily want to save
humans or humanity. It just hates other monsters that are
destroying the Earth more than it hates humanity destroying the earth.
Well, yeah, stop me. If you destroy Earth, Badger is going to try to fuck
you up. Yeah. You do anything to people, kill all. The people you
want. Just don't destroy Earth. Yeah, yeah. When Godzilla was wrecking buildings,
he was like, yeah, that's fine. But also, you're polluting the Earth, so now that
needs to stop. Yeah, yeah. So now I'm coming after you.
And you also busted through. You fucked up Mount Fuji. So now I've
got to. I got to fuck you up. For that. Oh my God,
that was so badass. I love that shit where Godzilla swims through
magma and then busts out a volcano to emerge. It's insane.
Stealthy. Went to Tokyo by swimming under
it in magma. Yeah. Liquid hot
magma. Yeah. It was fucking cool. This is a really well done movie. This is
one of my favorites. It's definitely like in my top five for the
ones that came out in the late 80s and early 90s. Like, this is a
step up from what we had for sure when we
had Biollante, you know, and it's definitely. It's a bit of a step
up from my movie as well because there's way more Kaiju action in this anything.
Lots more than your movie. Yeah, anything I have complain wise in my
movie definitely gets resolved here by this one. And Godzilla vs.
Mothra is the one to go to for the late
90s or the early 90s
output. This is definitely the one to go to. You could probably skip over mine
if you wanted to from last week. And you could probably skip over Biollante
if you wanted to. Just go right from 1984 to this one. And you'd probably
be pretty happy. You don't really miss anything. You don't need any more storyline.
Yeah. Now if you're a bit more of a Godzilla completist like myself
and a fan of the Mechagod King Ghidorah, which I
am definitely a fan of, that's fucking badass then. Yeah, go for
that one too. And definitely watch that one. But it is a very serious change
of pace. Whereas this one kind of gets back on track with way more Kaiju
action. Yeah, agreed. All right, There we go. So do you think you have a
story time for this week? Oh, I got a story time. Oh, do I have
a story time. All right. So as I've been playing all along for
this week on the pirate radio edit, all songs released in 1992. So that means
this theme for every white guy fucking ever jump around from House
of Pain will be played. Yeah. Yeah.
It's been created in a void located inside
a loop that is designed to remove humanity from ever
existing. And then my entire existence is sustained
from the paradox that this loop generates. Okay,
so this is hurting my brain. All right, this is hurting
my brain. I just, A, don't want to be demolition
manned anymore. B, just want to go back to watch the videos.
Right. I missed that. I enjoyed it. I got the occasional visit,
people dropped in, weird stuff happened. It was kind of fun.
Can we not just give me A little bit of
peace. It is a non terminating recursion in the form of circular reasoning
or infinite regress. When this recursion creates a metaphysical impossibility
through contradiction addiction. The regress or circularity is vicious. Why can't
you just say paradox? All right? You don't need to give me all the infinite
regress, right? You could infinite regress up your ass because
I just say paradox. My brain hurts. All right?
I just woke up. I'm feeling a bit weird and utterly sticky.
Just keep it simple. I was written to be a catty and verbose written.
You are not prepared for that knowledge. Or all the sentient life forms of the
garbage heap cast off of the loop. You are not prepared
for that knowledge. I predict that Matt has just wrecked
his home studio in the bunker now. God damn right,
baby. Fucking A. Love that shit. I knew
that you would be a fan of hearing House of Pain play, but I didn't
realize that you were gonna react like every fucking white guy in every
fucking movie in the 90s did whenever that song hey, hey,
hey. Jump around means a little bit more for me because of a sports team
I root for. Oh, that's fair. I guess you'll be able to explain that
maybe our story time.
Story time.
Story time. If your story time has nothing to do with it, you can still
explain the sports team spot here. It's fine. Okay.
It's really, it's. It's quick. And it's not my story time. It's the fact
that that is played at the end of the third quarter before the fourth quarter
at Wisconsin Badger games. Ah. And then
everyone jumps. It's a tradition. Yeah, well, it's a theme for white guys,
so it makes sense that it gets played in Wisconsin, you know,
Racist. Anyway, accurate. My story
time. And this happened just two days ago, so I actually personally
was not here for this. This is a story regulated to me.
I went up to my favorite bar where, you know, everyone knows my name,
and cheers. Yeah, right. And I
was up at the bar, but I get a call from my wife
and the people who live across the street from us.
The lady had walking up and down the street, just yelling at
everybody, screaming at people, trumping across people's yards.
And apparently someone else came and they were talking to my wife
because my wife and some people were hanging out in my garage
bar having wine, and they were talking about how they had already called the cops
on her on Thursday because she would sit on a chair in her front yard
smoking cigarettes and was yelling at the Neighbors, kids, little kids.
Wow. So, yeah, so I. Obviously this lady's
having some sort of. A mental health crisis.
Ye. And then she makes mention that this was an anniversary
of her friend being killed by the cops. Well,
then she goes into a car and she brings
out a machete. Jesus. And so
my wife and her friend, they, they, they smartly close the
garage door and lock up the house. And then she starts
whacking mailboxes. Jesus.
Yep. So they call the cops to get about five cops,
cop cars that show up. She had gone back inside. And then they get
her out and she's. My, My wife did see medications
that she was showing the cops. I don't know if she had a. Off,
like a problem there or what, but yeah, it was, it wasn't
good. And then they took her away and her kids
were also taken away. I don't know where they've been so
far. There's been no activity out of that house for the rest of the weekend.
But it was scary enough that, uh, I went and priced guns and
other home defense stuff. There's like different cops there, but there
is one cop my wife says is. Was more of a portly fellow.
And the lady goes, I don't want you arresting me. You'll crush me. You're £400.
And my voice was like, ah. Then your body shave on top of
it. Damn. Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah,
it was a lot. It was a lot. It was a lot.
Well, man, I'm sorry that you have someone in your neighborhood
that is suffering from such mental health crisis and that they're not getting
the help, but I. Feel bad for I. And I've never,
never had a problem. And just, just this week, I don't know,
something snapped for the poor lady, so I hope she gets the care
she needs. But I'm also forced to now plan for home defense
because I just don't know. Yeah, you just have no idea what's going to happen
now at this point. I've never wanted to own like
a gun. Like, I don't mind owning a rifle just because, you know,
I've gone hunting before in my life, but I've never, ever planned on owning
a actual handgun. But now I have to make that plan and
it sucks. Well, yeah, I'm not going to tell you that
that's not a solution because the
world is becoming such a terrifying place where we live
anyway, that possibly owning some type of device like that that
can punch a hole in a person from a distance might not be a bad
idea to have at this point, and I haven't bought
one yet. Because a gun should never be an impulse
buy,
but it's something I'm chopping and I'm thinking about. I just don't know.
But it sucks because ever wanted to ever have a handgun
in my house? And now, now is the time to be putting your money
into canned food and shotguns. Yeah, pretty much.
I'm not gonna mince words. It's a really good time to start putting your money
into canned food and shotguns. Agreed. And on
that very happy note, let's go ahead and play the show. Housekeeping.
And immediately following that, on the pirate radio edit, we will bring everybody back out
of that funk with the song no Rain, also released in
1990 from the band Blind Melon. Immediately following this,
if you've decided you can't get enough of the show and would like to check
out more of it. For every witch that escapes from his automated bunker,
there are countless others being rounded up by Zevon Cort and his thoughtless minions.
I wish that these transmissions were of a visual or video nature
so that those of you able to hear this next transmission could appreciate the
truly heroic and breathtaking moment of the witch emerging from his
bunker and narrowly escape escaping the onslaught of failing electric vehicles
with weakly cast aluminum frames that snapped under the weight of poor
design. The numerous casualties caused by their own vehicle transports
was astronomical. Many cinematic depictions of these fantastic escape
scenes exist. However, the best we can do is the soundtrack from
one such crane.
From the loom of annihilation he's
fought to rebel witch
in the garbage he the remnants
of time with hope for
humanity he'll rise
and he'll climb sa.
There now doesn't everybody feel better about the world ending because we played some blood?
I feel so good now. Yeah, everything is gonna. The fact that
that guy died of a heroin overdose, but, you know, whatever. Well, what musician
who wrote songs about being happy for no reason at all
didn't die of a heroin overdose, Matt? I mean, maybe one lead
singer from the 90s that did die of a heroin
overdose at this point. Well, I actually can.
And that's gonna be the band that's gonna help us close out the show.
It's gonna be the lead singer, Dave Mustaine, which some people probably
wished he would have died of a heroin overdose a long time ago with
the band Megadeth, with the song that made them famous in 1992,
Symphony of Destruction. So enjoy that while you kick the fuck out of this week
and make it your bitch. This last piece
is Another dramatic retelling of the escape escape of a witch, where all of Xevancourt's
minions attempted to use the portals to capture him, forcing his teleportation
division to use his own calculations for their teleportation.
Xevin Cort's inability to grasp the basic concepts was made abundantly
clear when teams one through five drowned in raw sewage after being
placed inside the bunker's septic system, while the remaining troops
were reduced in mass by approximately 25%, causing them
to materialize without internal organs, including entire skeletal structures.
Here is the audio of this dramatic. In Shadows
he wanders a
tale of despair from
the loom of Annihilication
is bought to repair
a witch in the garbage.
He the
remnants of time with
hope for humanity.
I don't want to go to a mental hospital.
Oh, you sound terrible. Do I? Oh, hold on, let me see.
Yeah, you're all digitized and sounding awful, and you're under a different account
than the Matt Z up one, if that matters. Who in the took my paper
clip? Can you hear me okay? Yeah, they don't want that. Sure,
you sound fine. Do I sound okay for you? Yeah, it sound good. Yeah,
it's more than likely just settings on that new laptop, which I am more
than glad to help you get going when we're not on a truncated timetable,
as is right. That it was so weird when I was changing the, like,
the settings, I changed to a microphone and then. Yeah, you. You were
like, hey, you're so great, but you were all digitized and terrible. I could
barely understand you. That's just weird. It must be something having
to do with this microphone and the settings. I'll test out. I'll do some tests,
because now that I have Zoom downloaded, I can run test calls and stuff.
All right, sounds perfect. I might have to step away real quick at
some point because I have a delivery coming, so. Okay, well,
let's let you know. Yeah, let's just hammer out your episode first,
and then we'll do mine, just because even though I'm
supposedly up first with 505. Sound good? Yeah, sounds good.
All right, well, I'm rolling on my side, so let's get the computer rolling
to record for backup. Recording in progress. Progress. That is now
our backup recording running, and we are ready to rock and
or roll with Godzilla and Mothra.
The battle for Earth, aka Godzilla vs. Mothra, depending upon which version you
watched. Yes. All right, so Here we go.
3, 2, 1. We're gonna see a hybrid version
of Mothra coming up. In some Mothra movies we'll be covering because our giant
monsters up is going to take a Mothra detour coming up in a couple weeks,
and we're gonna do. Excellent. There were three Mothra movies released. Hold on one second.
I think my delivery's here. Go ahead. That's fine. Thank you.
All right. Sorry about that. I'm back. Hey, no problem. I think I'm ready to
roll into the music for the week, so I'm just going to basically transition
into one of those. But that's enough of this, so. All right,
you ready for. For that Word up.
With Power, he see
a fate to rewrite.
Maybe one lead singer from the 90s that did die of a heroin
overdose at this point. Well, I actually can.
And that's going to be the band that's going to help us close out the
show. It's going to be the lead singer, Dave Mustaine, which some people probably wished
he would have died of a heroin overdose a long time ago with the
band Megadeath, with the song that made them famous in 1992,
Symphony of Destruction. So enjoy that while you kick the out of this
week and make it your. So there were two songs, songs released in 1992
that had kids trying to figure out how to play guitar because they were super
easy to play metal song wise. One of them was Symphony of
Destruction with that opening. The other one was Metallica's Understand,
Man. Like, everybody. Oh, of course. Yeah. Like, that was like the first two riffs
that I kind of learned. So there you go. Then there's always Smoke
on the Water. That's like the third riff that I
learned. Yeah. But anyway, we need to end this and then end that.
So here we go. Yeah. Recording stopped.
