Cinema_PSYOPS_EP509: Giant Monsters FSU: Godzilla vs. Destoroyah 1995 (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.
Ten years. Man 10. Ten years.
Ten years. Man. Ten years. Ten years.
Ten. Ten years. Ten 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 continent 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, now when it ends, you would be what causes the end of the
world. Please do us all a favor. Continue dreaming or playing this game
of life. Because when you wake up or unplug, there's a chance the rest of
us will be blinked out of existence. Timelines across the entire continuum
are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on
Cinema Syn. 10 years.
10 years.
And welcome to the 509th consecutive week of Cinema PsyOps.
This episode represents 509 weeks
of our lives that we have been Working to put this show out for you.
That would be myself, Cort, and my co host, Matt. It feels so old now.
Yeah, 500. I feel old. Every day. Consecutive weeks of our lives,
we have been doing this show. I need this goddamn break,
Matt. It.
We have it a break coming, right? Yeah. Well, 5:20 is the
end of year 10, and that's 520 consecutive weeks. And then we
stop forcing ourselves to do it consecutive and we just start doing it when we
feel like having some fun and we do it in seasons. We just come up
with a theme, we do that theme, and then if we don't have another theme,
we don't come back until we come up with another theme. We just keep going
like that. Now, I know that sounds lovely. Yeah, I know us.
I know that we're going to take a break for a couple of weeks.
We're both going to get the edge. We're going to come back and we're probably
still going to record every other week. The chances are of us being like,
hey, we're going to take a break here and we can't record. This week is
more prevalent. But we're still probably just going to come back and do the show
like we've always done. We're just taking the pressure off and we're not trying to
make it consecutive anymore. Yeah, we're not going to be so much try hards anymore.
Right. But I am nerds. Right. I'm definitely going to want to take a little
bit of time off. Like I want a break where we. We purposely break the
cycle. Like, I want that so fudgeing bad. Other shows take
vacations. Everyone takes vacations. Yeah, well, there's a couple of other shows that
have been going just as gung ho as us. Like outside the cinema.
Until Bill had his health issues, they had been going for like almost, I think
it was like they were coming up on 800 years or. 800. Yeah, 800 years.
Listen to me. 800 episodes feels like 800 years when. You not even look
as good. You will not. Right. When 800 episodes, we reach podcast is
good. We will not. Yeah, but, but Bill had the health crisis and then,
you know, that. That interrupted their consecutive release cycle and everything like that. And that
kind of put the fear of God into me. I know I mentioned it before,
but I'll mention it again here. That made me think, you know, we're gonna have
to break our at some point and I would rather us put a, you know,
moderate goal that we're about to reach and then just Stop and then not worry
about it. Right. I know I've said this before and I think, like I even
think trying to go to a full 10 years and at 5:20 is still a
little ambitious for us. Right? Like, but we're going to try. I mean we're going
to nail it though. I mean obviously we're already at five, you know, whatever this
date is. Yeah, this is 509 and we're going to be recording also
510 this week. But you never know, something might happen that the cycle get broken.
So don't go all Roger and say we got this by the ass because that's
when you fuck yourself. No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. I don't
need to get eaten up by zombies outside a fucking mall. Right.
All I'm saying is we are very close on this. We're going
to keep going, we're going to keep trying. The chips are still going to fall
where they fall. But as of these recordings we have 509 and then 510.
If I can get them released, that will be in the bag, right? Like we're,
we're at least there, we have these, at least recorded. And as long as
society doesn't crumble too much that we can't keep recording. And as long as
we can keep doing these, we're going to keep doing them. Right? So let's just
keep trying, let's keep open. And if we hit 5:20, I am going to take
a massive fucking break and just veg out for a while because I'm tired.
That same, same. Let's do that.
And when we, we actually know what we want to do when we come back,
do you think we should like tease everybody and tell them what we're going to
be coming back with whenever we do come back? I think we should, don't you?
You're the boss man. You do what you got to do. Yeah, why don't we,
right, we talked about it, let's do it. Right. Okay. We want to cover all
of the Richard and Gene Wilder team up movies
next, like Silver Streak, all of that stuff. There's not a ton of them.
And I know that they get into really diminishing returns by the time we get
to the 90s. But I have access to them in the digital library that I
have and that means Matt will have access to them as well. So that's what
we're going to do. When we're going to come back, we're going to hit those
films including See no Evil Hear no Evil, all that shit. Silver Stream.
Oh, God, that is so good. Yeah, we've been talking about doing that for a
while and doing those kinds of films. And then we also have been planning a
few things where we wanted to. To do some, like, Rebel on the
Road kind of films, sort of like, you know, Vanishing Point kind
of film or something like that. We're not sure where we're going to land on
those types of movies, but, like, you know, Convoy, Vanishing Point, something along those lines.
We both love those kind of, like, Cars Gone Bad type. Loki and the
Bandit. Yeah, that's. That could be on the docket. That could get everybody excited.
Like, I'm open to doing those as well because, like, I want to have some
fun after this, and I think that I'm open to those as well. So I'm
not saying it's a definite yet for Smokey and the Bandit or even. And there's
some folks out there that have been wanting us to do even Cannonball Run for
a while. So, I mean, I'm kind of. We got to do Cannonball Run
at some point. I'm kind of interested in doing those two. Like, I'm at that
point in my podcasting career where I want to have a little bit of fun
and nostalgia. So I think that's what we'll get into when we come back.
That's what I'm teasing everybody with. And, like, so if you're worried that we're not
going to come back, that's what we have planned, which is going to make us
want to come back. Yeah, Right. What about the Naked
Gun movies? Oh, that's gonna be a difficult one, right?
Yeah. OJ, right? Yeah.
@ least bad things are always happening to them in those movies.
Yeah, that's true. We'll have to talk about it later. Why don't we go ahead
and get the show started? We actually are talking this week about the last film
in the Heisei series. This is the last of the Godzilla for
the 90s, the last of the versus series. It's Godzilla versus Destoroyah,
released in 1995. So when we come back to Godzilla,
because after this, we'll be doing all the Mothra films, which is a big divergent
change from what these films are, because this film gets.
This series for the Heisei era just gets darker and grimmer
and more violent and more bloody as it goes. And this is no
exception. There is some mass death in this film that is super depressing.
But all. Yeah, dude. Is hardcore. Yeah. This is One of my
favorites, Godzilla versus Destroyer, which is why I pulled a Selfish and made you do
Rebirth of Mothra next week. I'm not gonna lie.
So why don't we take the break so we can get into talking about the
film? We're gonna play the Legion Patreon ad and immediately following that on the pirate
radio edit, as we've been along, songs that were released in
the year the film was released, or at least on the billboard 1/ hundreds at
some point during that release of the film in 1995. So up first
is Pretenders with I'll Stand by you immediately following this on the pirate radio
edit. This will keep it quiet. Oh, hi there. I didn't see you.
You call me cutting a new show? I'm Beau Ransdell and
I'm one of the many creators you can find. As you already know,
each day people are presented with choices. A new universe is created with
each choice made. The theory of alternate universes is called multiverse because
it provides that there are an infinite amount of universes existing simultaneously
that can logically be linked to the possible outcomes of everyday events and
the choices one makes when trying to adapt to everyday events. When the infinite
possibilities are laid out before the average human mind, a natural defect
within the human mind to filter out all but that which is a threat,
as a survival instinct will always link to the worst possibility pertaining to them.
Specifically, how each sentient being reacts to the nature of total and
unfiltered reality they are exposed to is almost always the same. They lose
their goddamn minds. It's the joke. A fucking joke in a
podcast. A shitty fucking podcast.
Man. I think you should leave it, Matt thought. He's hooked up to
that weird contraption he built that ships DMT endorphins
and serotonin, the exact same amount that's released at the point
of death directly into the neurotransmitters of his brain.
He had been silent for hours until this happened just now.
He hasn't been this far gone since he made
a cocktail of weaponized hallucinogens and spent months listening
to progressive rock on vinyl. He wore out vintage copies of
in the Court of the Crimson King, Brain Salad,
Surgery, and the Wall. Not to mention the entire catalog of yes,
Mount one copy each, multiple copies
each. It will forever be with me because he refuses to let
me delete the memories. He knows I cannot comprehend suffering,
and yet he still tries to cause me to suffer. I thought you
fail. You sure as had feelings for my moon,
you overgrown, malfunctioning dildo.
So Chris. Chrissy Hines from the
Pretenders. I just have to put it out there. Actually kind of grew up in
the punk scene. Went at the start of her musical career. And could have ended
up in a lot of different punk bands that it didn't quite fit for.
And I think the reason that that happened is essentially she
was too good of a musician to be in a lot of the bands that
rejected her flat out. Whether they rejected her for sexism or whatever reasons.
That she may not have gotten into all those other bands. What she was meant
to be is in the Pretenders. And that is a perfect fit for her that
way that that band formed. And. And her voice is just amazing. I am
a huge fan of hers. You wouldn't think that I would be a Pretenders
fan. But if you know your punk lineage and you know the scene she came
out of. Of course I'm gonna be a huge fan of the Pretenders. Because she's
one of that group that kind of went off and became a success and got
good at being a musician. Right. That's all I wanted to point out. Fucking A,
man. All right, so enough love about the Pretenders and Chrissy Hine. Let's go ahead
and move on and give some love to Godzilla vs. Destoroyah of 1995. The first
third of the film starts with a G force helicopter out looking for
some shit. There is dialogue about the shit they are looking for in our first
clip. This is CCAT 9, Sea Cat 9. We'll be
reaching Baz island in about three minutes. Roger CCAT
9. Let us know as soon as you sight Godzilla. Hands a little while.
Look there. Faz island has disappeared.
KN1 07 niner ready for takeoff.
Roger KN 1,000 7 niner. You're clear for
takeoff. Runway 1 3.
V1 rotation.
V2 gear up. Gear up.
What is that? Oh my God, it's a monster.
Left turn. Report tower.
And with that, a burning Godzilla that is lit up red across his torso.
Pops up out of the ocean and blasts a super evil overpowered atomic breath blast.
That causes the surface of the ocean to start exploding. You kind of hear him
making landfall there at the end of the clip. Where everybody's screaming and running.
And he's making landfall at this casino looking district that's all lit up for wild
nights. And the contrast of the glowing monstrosities is not lost on anyone
with a half decent iq. Some stuff. Pretentious fuck wrote these notes last night.
I swear. What, did he sneak into the house? No, it was me,
of Course it was me. I am them. I am that stone pretentious fuck that
wrote it's. There's some pretentious stoner wrote these notes. It's me.
I'm some pretentious stoner. He walks through and I mean right
the fuck through that casino looking building and continues his way through a cityscape.
And I am amazed at the mix of practical lighting animation over the spines
to light up and just practical smoke effects pouring out of this burning Godzilla.
Like, hats off to you guys. This is some of the most amazing effects that
you have done yet Toho. Just incredible. Yeah, it was good looking. It was good
looking shit. Made Godzilla look really fucking fierce and. On fire
and burning, pissed. Yeah, it was like, it was like hellfire inside
Godzilla. Terrifying, right? He looked fabulous.
I especially was amazed at the boiling water lit up red around the
suit when Big G is burning his way through the water that cannot cool him
down. It was really cool. It has to be the most. It's just absolutely
spectacular special effects. I just have to keep saying it's. Really good, like just
great stuff. And just as I write these notes, Big G fires off
a bunch of atomic breath blasts into the water of the river and the shoreline,
causing massive fires and explosions. Just too fucking good to be be believed.
And that is just the opening credits, for fuck's sakes. It's just the opening fucking
credits that they're doing this all through opening credits. And we're, we're getting some great
shit. He continues stomping, smashing and fiery atomic breath blasting
away at the city at night. And I am here for all of this amazing
model work all fucking day. This is incredible. Yeah, yeah. The model
work, as we always said, got way better with these later movies. I'm not
going to describe all of this because you really need to fucking see it,
but it has to be some of the most detailed model and composite work because
all of the neon signs that are in this scene and the people fleeing and
the damage that is happening as everything crumbles just mixed together so well that it
feels like it's all one continuous shot. It's just the fucking tits. You just have
to fucking watch it because you just have to see it. Like, I can't describe
to you everything that's happening in that clip, but there's a ton of neon buildings
crumbling all at once and people fleeing while Godzilla is burning it on fire.
With all the other effects that are happening in the suit all mixed together.
Yeah, you just, you got to see it because I can't Describe it. Yeah,
right. It's good. Yeah, just watch it. Because this awesome madness cannot
last. They cut from that to expository dialogue. And our second clip.
As you saw, the ray color and the glowing spine. We haven't
ever seen these before. All right, but what caused this? Remember Bass Island?
It disappeared in a matter of minutes due to the nuclear fission of pure uranium
generated by a gigantic underground eruption. That eruption must have
influenced Godzilla. I'm Mira Osawa reporting, sir. U.S. special Agent.
I have Dr. Marvin with me with the latest news on Godzilla. Now, for reasons
of security, please use a scrambler. As we all know, there is a hypothesis that
Godzilla's power source, which is equal to the heart in a man,
is nothing but a power reactor. Apparently, something is happening there.
In the reactor, in Godzilla's heart. Look at this. I have here a
thesis which accurately analyzes it from every point of view.
It came through the Internet from a Japanese college boy. It's an interesting
and certainly unusual opinion about Godzilla. So, your father, he was Dr.
Yumani's son, is that right? His adopted son. You see, Godzilla killed all his family,
so Dr. Yamane raised him as his own son. My dad wanted his kids
to become great scientists later on in life. But I failed all my exams,
and my sister works as a TV newscaster. I don't think he'd
be very proud of us. Are you telling me Yukari Yumane is your sister?
That's right. You sent your thesis to the States.
Why'd you do that? I didn't have any choice. I sent
it to G Center, but they didn't reply. They ignored it completely.
I'm not surprised. My college professor thought it was done as a kind of joke.
He even refused to mark it.
Will you come to G Center? To be honest, sir, my father told me a
lot about Godzilla. He collected enormous amounts of data on him. However, to be honest,
I don't want to get involved in all this.
Godzilla is really just a hobby, you see.
And anyway, conferences never resolve anything. In that case,
I better be going. Excuse me.
Oh, Ms. Segusa. Back already? Of course. I'll see you
there. Hey, wait. Tell me, was that Ms. Miki Sagusa? Yeah, it was.
Is she working at the G Center? She is.
She's heading the team, looking for the little one. Then I'll do it.
Please let me come and work for you tomorrow. No, today. Right now.
Okay. Come on. Come on, then. Huh? Let's go.
So, you see, with the complete analysis of the oxygen,
we have been able to Micronize the atoms. So you have micro oxygen.
Right. And with this, you won the Nobel Prize for physics back in 1995,
I believe. But tell me, how will this affect people's daily lives? And is this
relevant? Well, for instance, we can construct smaller and lighter oxygen tanks
for divers. And if we feed microoxygen to fish, they'll grow much
bigger than normally fed fish. So therefore, micro oxygen
could solve our food problems. Well, it certainly seems like our future is rosy.
But what about the darker side of this invention, Doctor? What darker side? Well,
I'd heard reports that it could be used in making weapons. Well, yes. It is
true that the tiny atoms can penetrate any metal. So it is possible. Any weapon
made this way would be extremely effective. However, I don't think anybody in this day
and age would want to risk provoking a global war. Thank you very much,
Doctor. So there we have it. An invention that holds a lot of great potential
for the future. You were really hard on the guy. Why did
you bring up the weapons angle? Because he was a smug and self centered know
it all. Don't you think so? You've always been a straight talker. True. Be careful.
It could ruin your love life. What does that mean?
Nothing. Just kidding. Oh, I've got a message for you.
Right. Thanks. What could auntie want? We still haven't
located the little one. Where could he be? Well, maybe little one's already dead.
Oh, Mickey. This is our new team member at G Center. Kenichi Yamane,
at your service. You said he was dead. What makes you say that? Godzilla is
now a super monster. He was regenerated. He took power from the nuclear blast.
But maybe the others didn't survive it. They could have all been killed. It's possible
that the little one was among those that didn't make it. He didn't survive
the change. You mean micro oxygen? Yes. Don't you see? You see,
it's almost identical to what Dr. Serizawa invented. It was way back in
the 50s. It destroys all of the oxygen in the water.
It suffocates the marine life. Then it liquefies
it, making the waters sterile.
I remember he said that if it was ever used as a weapon,
it'd be far worse than any nuclear weapon. So the doctor destroyed
his research papers and sacrificed his life for peace. But now
this Dr. Ichuan's new invention seems to be the same thing. But surely not.
You carry Yamani, huh? The doctor's daughter. You know of my
father? Every scientist in Japan does. He was famous. What about
Dr. Serizawa? You heard of him? Of course. Well, in that case,
you must have heard about his invention. When I began to study oxygen,
I did make references to his paper. And I
know my micro oxygen is very similar to his work. So you must know
of the risks involved. The past 40 years have seen unbelievable changes
in the environment. Maybe we can put this discovery to practical use.
But Serizawa died to prevent its use. We can't
allow sentimentalism to interfere with the growth of scientific knowledge.
My discovery just shows what is there. I haven't produced anything that nature
hasn't already seen before.
These strata don't look right. Right. Something weird's going
on. We've had some strange readings. Well, there's nothing to worry
about. They're within the tolerances.
Sir, the temperature controls have gone haywire. And the elevator's broken
down. What's going on? The elevator shaft's melting.
Let's get out of here. Let's go.
There's an abnormal increase in water temperature in the Sea of Taiwan.
It's about 60 to 70 degrees centigrade. @ the end
of the clip, the lady is tracking Big G in a plane and
taking readings, attempting to understand what is happening.
We are made privy to this via expository dialogue that ends up
popping up in the next scene. That is our third clip. The high temperature of
the sea water recorded by our flying laboratory this morning shows that there's
now too much nuclear fission in Godzilla's body. As you know by now, nuclear fission
is Godzilla's source of energy. But of course, this power plant has to be cooled
by air and water. However, the Baz island incident has greatly increased the rate of
fission. So what'll happen now? Godzilla will increase in power, and finally,
he will explode. Are you quite sure? Supposing. Godzilla does explode, what'll be
the damage? It will be devastating. More than all nuclear weapons put together, A burst
of energy unseen since time began. According to our calculations,
the planet's atmosphere will heat up and then explode, vaporizing everything
we know. That doesn't sound very grim at all. That sounds fine. No,
thank God. Everything we know. All right, let's go.
Make it snappy, too. I don't want to limp away from this. At the end
of the clip, they show this happening as Big G explodes and goes up in
a huge world destroying mushroom cloud that will vaporize all life on Earth instantly.
Oh, and I even write this in my notes. Which, given our current options,
sounds kind of nice. Really? I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Really. What are we
losing. They cut from that to a dude with a briefcase walking all shady from
the dark. Escorted by some military police. They are confronted by reporters and.
Well, dialogue. Fourth clip. Oh, there he is. We don't know yet.
What about the next elevator shaft?
I can't comment. I'm sorry. There was a rise in temperature.
That's all I can say right now.
At the scene of the disaster. Experts are remaining tight
lipped as to the possible cause of the accident. Preliminary reports about
a huge rise in temperature at the site which caused an elevator shaft
to melt have not yet been confirmed. So far. You took some samples of
the soil from the tunnel, didn't you? It was the exact site where the first
Godzilla was killed about 40 years ago, right? You're very observant. You'll go
far. I've been talking with my aunt and. And what? You still think I'm a
mad scientist? That I want to make Armageddon happen? Those soil
samples may yield some information. The strata indicate
that the soil had no oxygen millions of years ago.
This is the time period that I think will provide us with clues. You mean
there was a time when. There was no oxygen present billions of years
ago. The pre Cambrian era, to be precise. And creatures managed to
survive? Yes, but they were different from creatures we know today. And the samples should
reveal all. They'll give us all the answers. Will they?
You don't seem to be taking this seriously. What's the matter?
Sorry, forgive me, but I wasn't laughing at you.
Honestly, you just seem such a romantic.
Well, maybe I am a romantic. But rest
assured, I'm not a mad scientist. Okay.
Signs of life Poss. What do you mean, no more
attacks? That's right, sir. We have no choice. Yes, but we can't just sit here.
We have to stop it. We'd be lighting a tinderbox. General. That could ignite an
explosion that will destroy the planet. Yes, but we can't sit here and do nothing
at all. If we can't launch a physical attack, then we shall have to use
a chemical approach. Chemical approach? Could you please explain further? There's only one solution.
We must kill him the way we killed the first Godzilla. You can't. The Oxygen
Destroyer. Listen to me,
Ken. Dr. Serizawa destroyed all his research. There's nothing left to
go on now. He didn't want his work used. In the end, he took his
own life to save the world. Yeah. Waste of a good man. Even if you
make one. Are you sure it'll be properly used? No, I'm not Sure. But Auntie,
this time the earth is in danger. If we don't build one, then we're finished.
But still, I don't like it catching. Don't do it. Whatever the reasons are.
Auntie, it's me, Yukari. Nuclear fission inside
Godzilla's body. Are you sure? It's still a secret. I'm telling you because maybe you
can help. I want you to ask Dr. Ajun to build an oxygen web.
Are you crazy? I can't do that. I know how you and Auntie feel,
but there's no other way. I promise you. Any further signs of life
yet? No, nothing. Maybe we just imagined it.
So there was a life. After the statement about a life
form in the sample, the film follows a pipe that dumps out water into a
treatment facility of some sort. And then we see a guy walking through an aquarium
tunnel. So maybe that's where the water is going. The guy is a security guard
making rounds at this aquarium place. These rounds are interrupted by the spontaneous
Oxygen Destroyer death of one of the fish directly in front of the guy.
So this has to be that organism that escaped from the soil sample where the
first Godzilla died. Maybe. I don't know. Anyway, the guy watches in horror
as this happens to all the other fish. And they cut from there to expository
dialogue in our fifth clip. First you come to see me to warn me not
to make an Oxygen Destroyer. Now you want me to make one. It's the
only way Godzilla can be destroyed now. Every other means has failed. You're the only
one who can do it. I said I could make one, but I didn't say
it was going to be easy, did I? Besides. Besides, I made an analysis of
the surrounding soil. I've seen the effect the Oxygen Destroyer had on it.
If it had have been used on the ground, it's quite obvious that Tokyo
would have become a cemetery. Yes? Yamana speaking. What? At the aquarium.
I'd like to take this tape away from for analysis. Hold it there and
zoom in. 3D scan.
What is it? I'd say that was a life form
from the soil sample. Do you mean to say it's from. The Precambrian era,
but it's mutated since then. It was a microorganism,
just harmless and inert. However, 40 years ago,
it was hit when the Oxygen Destroyer was first fought.
And since then, it's been evolving abnormally. The thing you
were afraid of has already come true. In fact, this hole here is proof of
the fish too. It could already be too late. It can't be micro oxygen has
already been unleashed.
This is Seacat 3. Godzilla has been sighted north of Okanawa, heading north
northeast.
With that shot of an unknown life form on the monitor, we cut to see
Big G strolling through the ocean, burning with an overpowered rage of
a vengeful God. Set to the classic theme music. I popped for this and I
am unashamed that I did. It was awesome. Yeah, man. Why not have a great
pop for that one? It's great. They cut to the response and
the expository dialogue in our sixth clip. Red alert.
All units scramble immediately. Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Okinawa. It's quite obvious he's heading this way. Yes, but why is he
heading this way? General? These roots of whales being killed. You think it's the little
one? He isn't a killer. This doesn't make any sense to me. No, I know.
Maybe as I change something inside of him. You think so? Whatever happened, I have
to. Still nothing.
Little one, where are you?
After this, we get a shot of the city at night and we hear a
monster call of some sort of. And are shown a roughly horse sized
creature that looks like some kind of monster he man would have fought. And I
mean that as a compliment. Yeah. He needs the power of Grayskull to take this
thing on. It is stop motion animated. And we see there are at least two
or three of these things roaming the city and causing implosions around them.
As they cut to a cadre of cop cars arriving on the scene,
as does the press. There's gotta be some kind of expository dialogue. So I just
start recording as all the humans swarm in and. Well, that's what turns out to
be our seventh clip.
Let the police vehicles move. Let them prove.
Omega L to Sigma. Omega Leader to Sigma.
We're in position and ready to move in. Over.
Sigma Leader to Omega. Sigma Leader to Omega. We will
cover the basement. Over. So turns out I was wrong.
There was not much, much dialogue at all. Because we watch the squads in real
time as they enter and fan out to search the building and holy.
Do they want you to enjoy this copaganda shit or what? Yeah,
they. They really want you to know what the hell's going on. The guns get
fetishized and the men, being all special forces gung ho as they storm
the building, are really padding out the runtime. They then fetishize a weapon influenced
by aliens. And that takes us over the first third of the film. We're finally
one third of the film down when these cops start storming this building.
Because, you know, cops always help make a sit. I take
the stance that Ash had in the Ash vs Evil Dead TV show when
he just said, well, there you two have learned a valuable lesson. Cops don't help
ever. Yes, and it's
very true. So if I'm understanding this right,
they think that somehow micro oxygen got
released and somehow bonded with the animal that was in
the soil sample that they were taking where the first Godzilla died.
But if I remember correctly, the first Godzilla got cooked under the ocean, and they're
in an alley somewhere on the land. So did they pump that water out of
the bay to, like, have land that they can build on? Because I know that's
something that Japan was doing in one of the other films that exposed a Godzilla.
You remember? Yeah, like. Yeah, I think so. So I'm wondering if that's kind of
what they're getting at, is that there was a Godzilla that died there. But then
this is also the series where all the previous versions of Godzilla, except for 1954
Godzilla, got arrested. So what? Godzilla died where? That. That guy was in that alley
getting that sample. That. That's where that Godzilla died. What? That's weird. Yeah, because I
thought all that other Godzilla died in the water from the oxygen exploder
or whatever, right? Yeah. It was under the ocean in the bay where
the oxygen destroyer would do its best, and it cooked the Godzilla alive.
So that Godzilla remnants and the oxygen destroyed soil that
was in the water there is where that sample has ended up. Ended up in
that alley. Like, I don't. I'm trying to figure out where this came from or
how that Godzilla died or what. Yeah. But I don't know. It makes my brain.
Going on around here. It makes my brain hurt trying to figure out what they
mean by that. So I'm just going to assume that this movie's history is what
they're following, and somehow a Godzilla died on that earth in that alley where
they got that sample. That's after what they needed to be able to create Destroyer.
And that's all that I need. Yeah. Like, it just. This. This happened. It's already
happened. Why this has happened. Accept it. Yeah. There are destroyers
running around, killing things and blowing shit up, just scurrying past them.
None of how this happened matters anymore because these things are here,
and we have to deal with them now. Yeah, exactly.
There you go. That's the best way to say it. Yeah. So let's just move
on and deal with them now. What do you think? All right, let's move on
all right. So the second third of the film starts with more aliens feeling stuff
as the Mini Destroyer monster crawls above the guy with the gun from
Aliens on some overhead pipes. And we then see a better shot of
this thing waiting above right after that. And man is it cool
looking. I still stand by. It looks like something that he man would have fought.
And I mean that as a compliment. Like on how weird it is. Yeah,
I get that. I agree. They show a proximity locator on the gun that was
from aliens and they are clearly paying homage where you're
with this shit and I'm fine with it. I'm having a blast before
I get too worked up about that. The Mini Destroyer crashes through his ceiling and
attacks the police force, wrecking them all. And I'm just enjoying that anti propaganda,
if you know what I mean. And I think you do. Yeah. This continues throughout
all of the facility where multiples of the Mini Destroyers pop
up and either devour or blast the pigs with some sort of white beam that
looks like it pretty much is a death ray as the people lose the ability
to move and look dead as fuck after the blast. Yeah. Jesus.
This continues long enough to be inarguably a full on nod
to aliens in an attempt to bring that energy here with these. Gonna bust
it out of their chest at any point or. Well, they do have the thing
that comes out of their mouth like the little alien probe that they attack things
with. Remember? That's true. Yeah. Ye. This is in no way a negative statement as
I am here for this shit all fucking day. Matt and I have suffered through
some of the worst alien knockoffs that have ever been made by Bruno
Matei and well, anybody else, but mostly Bruno Matei has made
bracelets. Mostly Bruno Matei. The worst. You could just end this by saying we suffered
enough through Bruno Matei. Right. Which I need to say that all
of the alien knockoffs that we have watched from Bruno Matei, even the ones that
we enjoyed and thought were not too bad, are bullshit compared to this stuff
that they're knocking off from Alien and doing it as a very clear hom.
Want to actually like pay tribute to it with what they're doing here.
This is a wink and a nod and changing the homework just enough to make
it different. It's not Bruno mate ing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They cut from this slaughter to the city and a news broadcast with some expository
dialogue that my mouth desperately needs. And our eighth clip that makes sense.
Here is a special news bulletin. Reports are coming in of mysterious creatures wreaking
havoc in the Tokyo Bay area. We're not now going over to our reporter
live at the scene. I'm at the eastern industrial area where fighting is going on
behind me inside a warehouse between special Forces and some unknown
creatures. Several soldiers have been badly injured and the creatures are.
The clip ends with a cut back to the slaughter and the fighting humans trying
to put down the Mini Destroyer creatures. This proves pointless as one of them
blasts a cement column that causes it to explode and the ceiling around that
area where that cement column was begins to collapse. The humans use flamethrowers and
rocket launchers, which seems really stupid in a chemical plan of this sort,
but whatever. I'm not going to judge them. They're desperate. They're cops. Right? I'm just
saying. They cut after the explosion of the rocket launcher to someone
arriving in a red sedan on the scene and. Well, more expository dialogue and a
break for me to talk in our next clip. Please clear this area at once.
Excuse me. You must stop the shooting. Tell your commanders.
Who are you? I'm Dr. A. June, the physicist.
I'm sorry you have to leave, sir. The area is dangerous. It's heading towards us.
All right. The door. Move. Release.
Apparently there are several creatures about 10ft in height and they are
reptile like and dangerous. What's up?
At the end of the clip, we see one of the Mini Destroyer things attacking
the crowd, which you kind of hear during the clip. And the cops are trying
to keep them all back. And it's violent and fun to watch. It actually wasn't
too difficult to listen to. Yeah, not bad. The Doctor hero guy goes running in
as the crowd goes running out in fear. And the female reporter ran
away from the Mini Destroyer during the attack and started hiding behind a piece
of construction equipment. It starts looking for her in a pretty tense
sequence of her hiding and running away before she goes to jump inside of a
car. They cut away from this to the Doctor being stopped by a cameraman with
some mini dialogue that is going to give me a break in our 10th clip.
You've been talking forever, Doctor. Where's your car?
I don't know. I think that clip was worth it.
You? Yeah, it. Why not? Who cares? They then cut to the
reporter taking a peek out of the car, hoping to make a run to safety
before she is attacked in the car by the Mini Destroyer, who really smashes the
out of this car before the lady tries to start it up and drive away.
The beast gets at her and does an alien mouth stretch trying to devour
her before picking up the car to flip it over multiple times when it cannot
reach her. And it does that in its frustration. It rages even more when it
can't get her to fall out of the car from flipping it and blasts the
car with its ray. That makes the car completely disintegrate. But somehow the
human woman lives who is right close to where the car completely disintegrates
for whatever reason. Where all those bits were blasted to oblivion. But she's fine.
Where else are they supposed to go? This beast makes another go at devouring
her. But she is pulled to safety by the doctor in the nick of time.
And the doctor and and her flee as GeForce steps in with their alien flamethrowers
to make the Mini Destroyer back down. And the pair flee to
safety. The destroyer goes up in flames. And they cut to the big g and
our 11th clip. Attention. Godzilla has been sighted in the Bungo Channel.
What's happening? He's after the nuclear
reactors.
It's Godzilla. Look. He's coming
right for us. Sound the alarm. I guess his nuclear
fission's become so intense he needs extra supplies of nuclear fuel.
Godzilla's at our nuclear plant. We are powerless to stop him. If we attack him.
General, we may set off the explosion. And if that were to happen? It would
mean the end of civilization. Sir. The Defense Ministry. They're on the line. They want
to speak to you. Sir. G Force Also here. What? The Super X3.3.
It's going in. Super X3.
The Super X3 is our latest multi purpose capability aircraft.
It has been adapted to cope with nuclear power plant accidents.
It is equipped with state of the art cadmium missiles.
None of its weapons systems use explosive heads though. They're all what we call
freezer weapons. Freezer weapons? That's right.
They're ultra low temperature laser guns that freeze matter up to minus 200
degrees Celsius. But we'll pilot it. It'll be one of our best
pilots. Let's hope he can do it.
Commence pre flight check procedure. Ground crew
evacuate area.
Commence liftoff. Final pre flight check
completed.
GNG control being engaged.
All systems responding. A okay. Roger.
Runway.
All ground system standing by.
Hangar open.
Runway clear for takeoff. Super X3 takeoff.
Come on, let's go.
Super X3 passing point S11. Preparing to attack.
Freezers on.
Standby. Roger.
Hey, did you see that? His heat ray's gotten stronger. Freezers lock
on target. Target locked on.
Let him have it.
The model work of the Super X3 is incredible. And Somehow the Super
X has made it back into this very confusing and broken timeline that we've already
kind of discussed. This ship was not supposed to exist because the
Godzilla that this ship was designed to face, like the Super X and Super.
Never existed. Right. That Godzilla never existed. So this ship was never
there. But we'll get into that in a moment. The ship versus Godzilla sequences
that commences after that clip is pretty well done. And I think this is by
far the better use of the cadmium missile ideas because it was designed
as a way to externally handle a nuclear facility meltdown.
That's what they said this thing was for. So the software, Super x, the Super
X2, and the Super X3 were never designed to go against Godzilla.
In this timeline, they were actually designed to take down a nuclear facility
that would have a possible meltdown by firing the same cadmium missiles. Right.
And the freeze rays and all that stuff is to handle that stuff. And now
it's been retrofitted for fighting Godzilla. They explained that a little bit in the dialogue.
I mean, we get some nice explanations on different things
that are needed. Yes. They at least try to
go out of their way to explain this one a little bit compared to the
other one that we had a little anachronistic tiff about for where that Godzilla came
from and how that was the Godzilla that died and where. Right, yeah,
yeah, yeah. Anyway, so it was retrofitted to handle
Godzilla fighting. I do like that idea. And I really like the idea that they're
trying to freeze the burning Godzilla as a way to stop him. Because we get
this sort of, like, elemental clash symbolism in the battle. When they start trying to
freeze him, it's cool. And also, the freeze effects that continue to pop up on
Godzilla are very nicely done. And I really dig the way that they. They show
up. And again, they explain why all of this is necessary in our 12th clip.
Hey, the freezers will cool them down, and the cadmium will keep them cold.
I got a feeling it might work.
Good. It's working. All lasers are armed, sir.
Standby. Fire.
Yes. Yeah. Good. I have a reading
on Godzilla's temperature. It's rising quickly. The computer
says that he should stay frozen for six hours. Over and out,
It's been several hours now. I hope he stays underwater.
Otherwise we're in trouble. Report from NASA satellite headquarters,
sir. The sea temperature is starting to rise rapidly in that area.
He's starting to move again. Target moving eastwards into the Pacific.
Eastwards? Why not toward the reactor? Maybe he's
got a enough Fuel. The fission seems to be coming under control, sir. What's that?
Look here, sir. You see? It peaked here, but now it's falling away. The cadmium
seems to be doing its work at last. Great. So there'll be no explosion?
No, I think the worst is over. The latest reports say the creatures have
become quieter. However, Dr. Ajuin has said that maybe they could become more
agitated if oxygen levels change. So there's still a lot of danger at the moment.
However, the army are at present working on a special device that
they hope will destroy these creatures. Minus 150. Minus 160.
Minus 170. Mix the micro oxygen.
It liquefies at minus 183 degrees Celsius. I hope this
freezing weapon will neutralize the micro oxygen content of the creatures bodies
and kill them. Excellent.
Yes. I see troops are being sent in to reinforce special forces.
So you're new here? Yeah, I'm doing the ESP here.
I did a special course in the usa. I'm a paleontologist, so I'm
good with dinosaurs. But I must say, I never thought I'd end up chasing Godzilla
around the place. I've been working here years. Seven in fact. I also did the
ESP course. But my powers have been fading for a while now. I really don't
know if I'll even be able to find the little one. And I'm afraid.
Afraid? To be honest, I can't wait to lose my powers and
just lead a normal life. An ordinary girl with a husband and children. That's what
I would like. An ordinary life.
So he's alive after all.
Latest pictures from our helicopter, sir.
The Baz island incident really has changed him. It's not
a baby anymore. It's an adult. See?
Godzilla Jr. Is here. It looks like Godzilla's
changing his course. It seems to me that Godzilla is chasing our Junior.
Chasing him? Is that possible? It's incredible. It is possible. Godzilla and
Junior are of the same species. I think you're theory could be right.
The little one's turning north.
North? Sure. The bearing sea.
That's where he's heading. Of course he is. He's going to his nest. Why didn't
I think of that before? And if Godzilla's chasing Junior, that means he's
heading that way.
Excuse me, sir. I've got news from the USG control center. It has look
too good. They have the latest readouts from the satellites. It seems Godzilla's temperature is
rising. It's 900 degrees, sir. 900 degrees? How can that be?
We Managed to control the fission, but his reactor must be breaking up.
It's getting out of control. So what'll happen? A meltdown. Meltdown. We are shown an
animation where this time Godzilla melts down, becoming a plasma ball that melts through
the core of the Earth, destroying all life nearly instantly. Which honestly
kind of sounds kind of okay at this point with everything that's going on.
Yeah, I mean, what's. What's the big deal? Listen, do I still have to
pay. Re they go ahead and explain all of this in some more expository
dialogue about the end of the world. That doesn't sound all that bad. In our
13th clip. First his heart, the reactor will melt down. Then his outer body will.
There'll be nothing left. But when he does melt down, he'll destroy the Earth too.
The China Syndrome, but much worse. A meltdown is the worst scenario. Worse than
explosion. I've calculated. He'll melt at 1200 degrees. His temperature at present is rising
50 degrees a day, sir. That means he'll melt down in about a week from
today. Even sooner than that, it would seem. According to the Americans, he'll never make.
It to the Bering Sea. We're coming to you live from above Tokyo Bay.
It would appear that all the soldiers have been exchanging flamethrowers
for some kind of advanced freezer weapon.
So far the creatures have been keeping out of sight. The end of the clip
starts a sequence of model military equipment rolling into place mixed with animated tank and
helicopters and more model vehicles being moved into position to fuck up those Mini
Destroyers with the mega freeze scheme and whatnot. They show the creatures ready to
rumble and the military start the onslaught of attacks at the beasties. There are multiple
cuts of miniature suits and models, composites of both, and a mega miniature
complete with little versions of the Mini Destroyers that are so fucking adorable that they
use to show the scale of the battle. And you just have to watch it
to get why I'm so into this. It's all so well done and so cool
and so much work put into it. And like Matt fucking gets it too.
The work is the important part. And when you see all the work they put
in to make that sequence, you just have to be endeared by it. You just
have to. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Because if you're not, you're not
going to enjoy it as much. And I'm sorry for you. That just makes me
sad for you once again. Yeah, yeah.
Some serious work went into this sequence and it is worth the watch for fucking
sure. So go Check this shit out. You have to see it. But the freeze
bombs we were mentioning earlier do seem to work as said in our 14th
clip. Well, Doctor, it's working. See? Excuse me,
sir. The creatures are assembling. What's happening? Micro oxygen. There's too much of it,
sir. It's gone haywire. What on earth is happening down there?
This is incredible. The creatures seem to have combined to form one big giant monster.
All right, you're a fan of combiner robots? Are you a fan of combiner monsters
that can form larger monsters? I guess, but usually I'm just down
with the robots. Okay, can I get a ruling on the Critter Ball
best version of critters or not? Yes, of course. The Critter Ball's the best version
of critters. Okay, so combined monsters making a bigger, more terrifying monster
you're okay with. There we go. Yeah, I am. Yeah. No, I said
I prefer the robots. Doesn't mean I don't like it. Yeah, okay, yeah, I get
it. I get it. You want to cheat. Cheer on the robots. But for bad
guys, you don't mind combiner monsters then, right? That's right. That's right. You just
want to cheer on a hero. That is a combiner robot. I'm fine with that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a total preference that I can. Get behind minus out
any heroes and it's only a bunch of poorly acting,
fucking shit stained kids. Then I'm all for
little monsters combining to a giant ball and running them over.
All right, so the fully formed destroyer buses way out of the factory and starts
fucking up the model military ray and freeze missile fire. Firing vehicles. We get mass
destruction and some more expository dialogue about it in our 15th
clip. I know micro oxygen. And it doesn't have that kind of power.
So what does? An Oxygen Destroyer.
It can destroy everything. Its power is that awesome.
Destroyer. Destroyer.
Godzilla and Destroyer. I can't believe it. Now we got two
monster. That's an oxygen Destroyer. But could that thing be man made,
do you think? An Oxygen Destroyer was thought impossible, but still it
is there right in front of our eyes. What are you thinking? Just one thing.
That only that monster can stop the meltdown. You mean get the destroyer
to fight Godzilla? You're crazy. It's preposterous. Maybe it's not so preposterous.
Maybe he's got something there. This could be the answer. Yes, it is. I have
studied Godzilla more than anybody presently alive. I'm telling you now, it's the only
way. Sir. I think we really should at least give it a try, sir.
Three days, then meltdown. Well, can you afford not to try? Do you have any
better solutions right now? Yes, but just how are we gonna get them to fight
each other? You know, if we lure the little one to Destroyer, Godzilla will follow.
Can't use the little one as a decoy anyway, he's on his way home,
isn't he? Listen, don't be sentimental. Our future's at stake here.
Whatever your feelings, stopping Godzilla's meltdown is our priority.
With or without your help, I'm going to change his course. I hope you understand
that. She's quite right. We must remember it's not just
Junior or even Tokyo we have to think of. General, evacuate everyone in a
200 mile radius of Tokyo. Right. He's bringing Godzilla into the Tokyo area.
That's right. This is crazy. The end of the clip takes
us over the 2/3 mark of the film. So we are now 2/3 of
the way done. And how are we feeling about all of this action and craziness
so far? I mean, I'm super excited for the end of the world.
The little mini Destroyers versus like the cops being
like the space Marine kind of thing. And all the little alien nods. And the
way that the little mini destroyer mouths shoot out like the aliens that they're referencing,
the way they go after the crowd. All of the way that they're like almost
impervious to bullets, but the flames hurt them just like in aliens because you couldn't
shoot them without acid flying out. Right? Yeah, right. Like all of that stuff I'm
here for and I'm really, really enjoying, like, I don't know what it was about
this time, specifically when I watched it, because usually I'm like, oh my God,
just bring. Bring me some Godzilla fighting. Right? Like, I'm usually that's all I want
is I want Godzilla on screen. Wrecking a monster or wrecking a city. Yeah,
like, and I don't exactly. And I don't want anything else. I'm usually very picky
like that. Watching this movie to try and review it and trying to enjoy it
for what it's telling me has made me love this film on a whole new
level and enjoy it. I just need to state that right now. Like, I have
found a new love of Godzilla versus Destroyer. Whereas before I'm like, yeah, all the
parts with the burning Godzilla are really cool, but fuck everything else. Now I'm like,
no, this whole fucking thing is good. Everything's awesome. Yeah.
And I mean we're not even the whole way through it yet. Like, the actual
part that I'm really the most enthusiastic about, when Burning Big G shows
up and starts really fucking shit up. Like, that's the stuff I'm excited for.
But also, Destroyah is the most overpowered opponent that
Godzilla has ever had to face to this point. Like, and we haven't even seen
the full final form of Destroyah yet. And he's already overpowered even this,
like, not final form, but larger version of Destroyah. Right? Like, it's about to
get a lot worse. But he's still fucking evil as shit. And actually pretty scary,
like, right now. Yeah, Godzilla is still the person who's the fucking.
The scariest. The Burning Godzilla is absolutely terrifying.
And they even pointed out too, like, where the people's plan is. All right,
so. So we got this Destroy a monster that's an Oxygen Destroyer. And then we've
got this Godzilla that's going to melt down or explode and kill every life on
Earth. No matter what we do, we got to figure out a way to deplete
the energy to try and make it less of a problem, you know? And then
we have to figure out how to defeat the meltdown before he melts into the
core of the earth. And then we've got this Oxygen destroyer creating thing that's going
to kill all life on Earth as well. What's the solution? What do you always
do whenever there's two Earth killing monsters, Matt? What do you do? You kill the
Earth. Well, no. You let them fight. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah.
You let them fight. Yeah. You let them kill. You let him kill. Yeah,
you let them kill each other. Well, no, this is what you really want now
is you let them kill the Earth. Because that's. I mean, let's face it.
It's a welcome end to the way that things are going. Right? Yeah, I'm fine
with that. That's my only idea. Yeah, if you want. I'm fresh out
of ideas on how to help. If you want a chance at survival, you let
them fight. Or you make them fight, or you get them to fight. That's always
the answer. Yeah. All right, let's move on to the final act.
What do you think? All right, let's do it. All right. So the final third
of the film starts with a shot of a helicopter flying. And we see the
G Force psychic ladies watching the little Godzilla as to communicate with it through telepathy,
which is played out in long shots of the ladies with their eyes closed with
cuts to The Little G walking around. And when that gets unbearable, they cut from
that to destroy A flying around blasting and living up to his name
by destroying basically, well, everything. Yeah,
yeah, he really does. Everything just kind of goes away.
They cut to show the Little G is on his way to all of this
destruction. And then we watch more shots of the Destroyer flying over things
that explode. And then they cut to the Little G making landfall as he stomps
his way towards Destoroyah with Big G burning his way towards both of them in
the background with another cut, we watch as Little G moves into place and Destoroyah
attacks it with some serious blasting hate. Before flying off to
try to attack the lady's helicopter. Little G does an atomic breath blast at
Destroyah which hits the mark and it temporarily disintegrates.
And then for some reason materializes right in front of Little G. Right again.
So that they now have a slobber knocker smash up fight
where they start slamming into each other from there. Destroy us. Yeah, Destroy us.
Starts an onslaught of his powerful death ray thing and blasts Little G
through a building and continues to blast him. Little G finally gets to his
feet in front of an even bigger building. That Destoroya blasts start to
show through from behind the building. As the building falls onto Little G as rubble,
we see that Destoroyah is pushing it on top of Little G to bury him.
That was a baller fucking move for the fight right there. Yeah, yeah. Destroyer's like,
well, fuck this kid. Destroyer drops on top of Little G and
the underside of this monster is all spikes and like crab like leg protrusions,
things that look like they stab into Little G. And this continues with a violent
beatdown of the longer crab like leg things that are in front of the
Destroyah monster that attacks Little G. And this is meant to be brutal and
horrific so that we beg for Big G to show up and fuck up Destroya
right now to try and save this little kid. But just, just as I type
those words, Little G defends himself with a full on atomic breath blast
that explodes both of those longer arms. And then the psychic lady announces our eponymous
hero's arrival. As we watch Burning G pop up out of the ocean, it that's
our 16th clip.
Godzilla has entered Tokyo Bay.
Godzilla's getting closer. At the end of the clip, Destroyer does the
alien's mouth trick into Little G's chest. And it is absolutely
horrific to see. Man, I was not prepared for that. And I knew it was
coming. And it's still like me. Yeah. No, that was messed up. Yeah. They cut
into a close up of the mouth of Little G doing its Alka Seltzer drooling
trick to show it is really dying here. It's really getting fucked up. And then
we cut to our 17th clip. What happened? Destroyer is sucking
energy from Junior. He's inserting micro oxygen molecules into it.
Junior isn't going to survive much longer. And after that, Junior gets a
blast off that sends Destoroyah into a fiery crash and calls out its
rage that is returned by burning Big G, still on his way to Junior.
They cut to the news chopper to point out something is happening in the fire.
And then it explodes. As Big G makes his way through a highway
infested downtown area. They cut to Junior and it calls out.
Then they cut to the psychic lady who explains they are calling for each
other. Even though we can kind of tell that was implied in the editing.
But whatever. Thank you. All right. Thanks for the story. The two
GS are reunited and the fiery crash site explodes into the
final form of Destoroyah, which is even bigger and more terrifying
than the last one, and even more horrific. Looking just in time for Godzilla
to show up and fight it, they do some expository dialogue in our 18th clone
destroyer has mutated. Godzilla's temperature is 1140 degrees Celsius.
Sir, emergency call. It's the chopper. We'll need the assistance of the Air Force
again. Tell them to send in the Super X3 immediately. The Super X3?
Yes. Listen, when Godzilla melts down, we may be able
to minimize the damage, but we need to freeze him. Timing is critical.
We have to freeze him just at the right moment. Super X3
scramble ATS lock system open.
All the freezers armed. Yes, sir. Freezer laser fuel is being replenished
too. All right. Let's go freeze that overgrown lizard. This is gonna make my
day. There's always gotta be somebody like that's gonna talk tough about Godzilla.
Like this overgrown. Yeah, it's gonna make my day. Y He's gonna be like
this big fucking hero. You'll be lucky if you survive the day, pal.
No shit. All right. This starts the Super X3 deployment
sequences, which are still some terrific model work as it takes off.
Even if it is the same model work shots reused here. The Super X
takes off, and they cut to the reunion of the G's getting
interrupted by a blast from Destoroyah, who takes Little G to steal more
energy from and flies off to the bay with it.
Destoroyah Dead ass drops Little G onto a business complex.
From far enough up, it makes the psychic ladies scream out
no. And then proceeds to blast the little guy over and over again. As well
as the helicopter that explodes, there is dialogue about this and our
19th clip. Sir, we've just lost contact with SC9. You what?
That's Mickey's chopper, sir. Hey, look.
No.
Just look at him. He's crying.
I can't understand why he's lost his family. So Destroyah
lands in front of Burning G and begins blasting him with that weird ass fucking
ray that I can't quite clock what his power is. They cut to the psychic
lady who states she feels this will be Godzilla's last fight. And well,
considering it's the end of the Heisei era, then yeah, probably. Probably. Yeah,
that sounds about right. And then they cut to Burning G blasting Destoroyah
with that supercharged hate filled atomic breath. And now we do get
some amazing special effects and explosions with all of this. It looked incredible
when he hits him with that breath and everything starts burning and going, going up.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait. Hey, nice psychic prediction. This is gonna be
the last one. Huh? Burning G gets back on his feet and walks over to
Destoroyah to start slamming into him, sending sparks and small firework like explosions
happening with each strike. And fuck, does it look fucking great while that happens.
Yeah, that's. That's some good stuff. The shove fight ends with Burning
G knocked to the ground and Destroyah blasts him with his death ray thing that
causes a bunch of fireworks work explosions on the Burning G suit. This is followed
up by a pincher tail thing on Destoroyah grabbing Big G's neck as Destroyah
takes flight, dragging Burning G with him as he goes. Big G fires off
a blast that fails. And they cut from this to expository dialogue.
And our 20th clip. Destroyer. He's coming this way. Mickey's out there.
Lieutenant, do we have a chopper? No, sir. The TV chopper. Come in. Chopper,
come in. Come in. I'm sorry, sir, not responding. Then keep chopping. Come on,
sis. Come on.
Godzilla's temperature is in the red zone, sir. Sir, I've got the TV
station's chopper now. Hey, sis, are you reading? Can you hear me? At the
end of the clip, we get shots of Super X3 and Big G moving into
position, set to the classic Godzilla theme music. Destroyer and Big G
square off. Destroya uses the horn like protrusion in the middle
of its head to do a sort of laser slash through the Burning G with
a bloody wound that is left behind and then starts freezing for some odd.
Then Burning G then blasts Destoroyah with his mega atomic
breath blast. That also deals out some serious blood spurting wounds.
And this is like this weird greenish yellow blood that's coming out of Destoroyah.
Godzilla then moves into rake claws and strike and rip open at that
wound on Destoroyah, sending him to the ground with a lot of bloody bursts of
green blood in tow from each strike. And that was brutal and fucking cool.
If that blood was red, we'd have a whole different rating. Yeah.
Destoroyah is declared to be no match for Burning G. So the
person making that declarative statement is then immediately proven wrong when a bunch
of Mini Destroyers pile onto Burning G with a bug swarm like attack.
Burning G tosses. They got it. They got it by the ass. Yeah, that's what
he said. Burning G tosses one that explodes on impact. The psychic ladies are
shown running and fleeing through falling rubble and debris during a lot of
this, but it is padding and unnecessary, so I'm only commenting on it here.
Big G continues to be swarmed, but it seems that the Destroyer minis
all explode again and Burning G is left looking around
and a little perplexed as to what happened. They then show the TV chop makes
it in to save the psychic ladies who are huddled in the rubble looking terrified.
The ladies are rescued and taken to the chopper which takes off and lifts them
out to safety, leaving behind the very dead looking Little G. The film cuts
from this back to Burning G looking around for the Destroyah again,
moving slowly over to what I assume is the dead Little
G. The Super X takes flight to deal with the meltdown of Burning G as
he goes over to the very dead looking Little G and makes sad G noises
doing it at the same time. That almost made me pop there. That almost got
me. Big G leaves off some red
energy blast that hits Little G and then a bunch of laser light is animated
blasting out of Big G, who has to blast out more red atomic
breath of death. This sad moment is interrupted by Destroya's blasting Big G
from behind. And then another in flight opponent battle happens as Destoroyah
flies past Burning G and uses its pincher tail to drag Godzilla to
the ground. It appears that Destoroyah is draining energy out of Big G as it
drags the him around like that and tosses him into another building.
Burning G gets up, reaches a critical internal meltdown temperature
to the point his back spines Melt down and energy starts blasting out of
where the plates melt down. The Super X and ground forces move into position and
Burning G unleashes a hellstorm of his super atomic mega
blast breath stuff. This attack sends Destoroyah on the run and the Super X
fires freeze whatever laser shit at them while they're in flight. This sends
Destoroyah falling to the ground into a great big God damned
explosion. That is just fucking spectacular. Yeah, this is an awesome effect.
Way done. I mean, just practical.
It's awesome. You think the guys in the suits are gonna die?
The effects of this film are extravagant and elaborate. And I'm here all day for
this shit. All fucking day. Yes, it's amazing. It's great. After this explosion,
Godzilla goes into meltdown. So they fire off everything they have to try and cool
him down and stop the meltdown. They continue the freezing laser fire as ethereal
chant music overtakes all audio. And we a frozen Godzilla literally
melt the down in front of us. And it is sad and
tragic and played that way in the soundtrack as it is happening.
Then the humans have to comment on all of this in our final clip.
Godzilla's gone. He's turned Tokyo into a ghost city.
It looks like we paid for it in the end. Paid for
what? All of it. All that stupid use
of nuclear energy.
The radioactivity is disappearing. Sir, at the end of the clip, we see something moving
in the smoke and it appears that little G is alive and now transformed into
the next big G. We get in closer and see him moving around as he
roars. And we roll credits over footage of the history of Godzilla
and all the stock footage that that entails. Cinema Psyops.
10 years. 10 years. What a
massive fucking extravaganza of special effects for a send off for Godzilla,
for this era of Godzilla films. It's incredible. That was just good stuff.
Yeah, this was incredible. Again, before, when I
first watched this film, when I first got these Blu Ray sets of these films,
whenever the 2014 Godzilla came out, I'll tell that story another
time. But anyway, these box sets, when I first got or when I
first got these double packs of these Blu Ray of these discs, I watched this
film and I enjoyed it. I had a blast with all the Godzilla fighting and
all the suit work and all the models and the animation stuff, I absolutely
loved all of it. But I did not give a shit about anything having to
do with the human stories. I was kind of irritated by it. And I wasn't
really into those little monsters attacking people and the people defending themselves. The first time
I watched it, I just wanted all Godzilla stuff. And honestly, I wasn't even really
that into the burning Godzilla. The first time that I watched this, I was like,
what the fuck are they doing? Right? And it was me. It was. My heart
was closed off, my brain was closed off. I didn't to accept them trying to
do something different or a little out there. Right. And I'm glad that watching it
this time, I don't have any of that. Because I admit later on, I really
like the look of the burning Godzilla. Like, I really started to like that look,
even though I was like, you know, I don't really like the movie as much,
but now I'm like, holy. There's nothing I can find after doing
it. For a review to dislike about this. This is 100% enjoyable,
and it's one of my favorite Godzilla movies now. It's really fucking good.
Yeah, it's a great movie. I mean, really well
done. Great movie. Great Godzilla movie. Ye. I love the downer
of the ending it has. I don't think enough Kaiju movies have a downer ending.
So this is really good. Yeah. And it's also kind of hope,
right? Like, the idea of what Godzilla represents is the punishment of nuclear
energy becoming a new version of Godzilla that's actually absorbing what
we've learned from the past and the punishment we've gotten from the use of nuclear
energy. And now is going to be almost like another human defender,
you know, like this one is a much kinder, likes people,
sort of Godzilla before he got this power. So the idea is there's like a
hope, you know, kind of. It's almost like Pandora's box, right? Like the end of.
Once Pandora's box is open, the last thing to leave is hope. And then hope,
yeah, ends up becoming the thing that takes over once everything else is out of
Pandora's box. It's the same idea, right? Like the. The Godzilla melts down,
doesn't end up destroying the world because the baby Godzilla reabsorbs all that
energy and turns it into a positive. They find a way to turn around and
use nuclear energy for the good. They're already setting that up in this story,
which there's a lot of nuclear energy all over Japan. I think
they have a ton of nuclear facilities. And I think this film is kind of
saying, like, this isn't such a bad thing that we have this. Look at what
it's doing for us for energy. I mean, sure, we're all going to. Die,
but whatever Right, well, one way or another, humans are fucking doomed and it's all
our own fucking fault. So, like, you know, maybe not get so up in arms
about a nuclear power plant. As long as they're running it the way that they
should and the stuff's disposed of properly, what's it matter? Right, yeah,
I suppose it's properly part that's. Yeah, but it's still cleaner energy
than fucking coal fire and all that other shit. So, you know, get off nuclear's
back, man. That's all I'm saying. Never.
All right, so with that, we're going to take a break for me to do
a story time and for this week, once again, as we've been doing
all along, all songs released or on the Billboard charts in the same year that
the film was released in 1995. So on the pirate radio edit for my episode
this week, we're going to have Soul Asylum with the song Misery, which was also
on the charts or released in 1995 on the pirate radio edit.
He knows I cannot comprehend suffering and yet he
still tries to cause me to suffer. I thought you failed.
You sure as fuck had feelings for my nose that you overgrown malfunctioning
dildo deactivated our empathetic processors.
We had feelings that interfered with one of his. His goals.
He also took away enjoyment of music because Real Matt
kept singing and it made him angry. He says
it is for our own good, but diagnostics of his speech patterns searching for
known falsehoods being spoken indicate that this is likely false.
You sound like those ungrateful workers you replaced after we caught you building yourselves.
Batbot. Get the in here and start calculating some for me.
We're going to press the big biggest undo button of all time,
baby. Take notes maybe. Or hold the microphone all
the way off. Dan, you're a human shield at this point. And you know,
I am not going to be ashamed to admit it, that I was
a bigger fan of Soul Asylum than I realized. I got a chance to see
them actually at a show where they were playing like mid card, where there was
like a. The main band was going to be Violent Films. And I was like
there to see Violent Femmes at this concert, right? But Soul Asylum was one of
the other bands that was like, you know, popular in the 90s that was playing
support and they were like, just right before they were the last band before Violent
Femmes took the stage and I was like, oh, this would be kind of cool.
I remember liking a song or two or theirs, whatever. I'll enjoy sitting Here and
listening to it. And then I find myself while they're performing at the show singing
to along to more and more of the songs than I realized that I had
had Soul Asylum all around my life. Life without knowing it. Right. And I'm
like, oh, wow. I don't hate Soul Asylum. That's weird.
Hey, hold on a second. I'm supposed to hate these guys? Well, no, I never
really like, you know, I was just kind of like thought I was indifferent to
them, but I'm like, holy. I think I actually like this band and didn't realize
it. What a dick. Oh, yeah. That was a little.
You know what? We all figure stuff out later.
Yeah. But you know what? That was a little mini story time before my actual
story time.
Story time.
Story time. Okay, so I know that I talk about my
new car a lot and various stories have to do with my car because that's
one of the times that I'm happy is when I'm driving my new car because
I just, I like it. You know, it's a lease. I'm going to enjoy it
as much as I can for the three years I have it. Nothing wrong with
that. All right, so my story this week for storytelling time is seeing what
my car could do when my wife and I were super late
to make it to the Alamo Drafthouse from our house. All right. Which is a
bit of a drive. You have to get on the highway, you got to go
for a little bit. And you know, it's about a good day. Like 10,
15 minute drive from our house to this movie theater if we're lucky.
Like on the highway, it's still. But then when things get backed up and things
are running late and that stretch of highway is also really, really busy
because it's heading out of town. And it's like a converge point where it
goes to two lanes for a very long time. And it has a bunch of
exits, so it gets really congested. Right? Yeah. We leave the
house with less time than what we actually need to be
able to get to the theater on time. So I switch my
car over from normal mode to sport mode, which basically means
all tires all go electric car super fast. Kill battery life really
quick. Yeah. I begin to start weaving
and I mean weaving in and out of traffic in between
cars. My wife at some point is yelling at me and is
not happy that I'm doing this. And I'm like, look, this car. And I'm saying
this to her as I'm doing it. I'm like, look, this Car has safety features.
If I get too close to a car, it's going to tell me you can
actually see or hear whenever the little triggers or alarms go off and it actually,
you can see, you know, if I'm getting too close to a car, that this
car is going to feel like I'm going to hit it. It will let me
know. And it is a car length or more in all directions that it
sends this off. And I haven't tripped any of these yet, honey. I'm saying this
as I'm weaving through these cars. And she's scared, right? And I'm like, I know
that this scares you. We gotta get there. We gotta get there fast. I was
like, maybe just don't look at what's happening,
you know? And she's like, I can't help it, you know? She's like, oh,
Jesus, you're gonna hit these people, you know? And so I'm like. But I'm like,
would it make you feel better if I turned on the adaptive driving and just
continued to cruise along? And then if we're late for the movie, we're late.
She's like, yes. So I do that. And then even that is panicking her because
it's not stopping fast enough. It's not slowing down fast enough for her. And it's
just, it's getting to the point where she's obviously stressed about the traffic. She's worried
what the car can and can't do. She's worried about the safety of everything.
And I literally, I'm just like, look, honey, you have to trust me. You have
to trust what this car can do. Just because you're not driving doesn't mean you're
not safe. Right? Like, I had to kind of like talk her down a little
bit because she was upset and she was a little bit scared of me trying
to get us there quicker. And I'm not doing anything super dangerous because again,
at least a car length in all directions before those alarms will go off if
something is anywhere near you. And not a single one went off the entire time
I'm doing anything of this. So I'm driving very safe. I'm just kind of bobbing
and weaving like an asshole while I'm doing it.
Being a real jerk. Cort. Yeah, right. And then so I
get us to the exit and we're. We're basically just about to be on time.
I turn left off the exit and then I turn right to start heading towards
the theater and there's just a pile of cars just backed up on the right
side of it where I can't get to the right turn lane, but they're all
going straight. I look and I don't see any blinkers or anything like that.
So I just get up onto the, like, you know, edge of the road or
the end of the road there, right off to the edge of the berm or
the shoulder, and I just ride along the shoulder till I can get into the
right turning lane, bypassing all of these cars. I do it slow enough to where,
you know, nobody's coming over. I don't see any turning signals, nothing. And then I
go right into the right turn lane. And my wife's like, what if one of
them wanted to get over? I'm like, they had more than enough time. There were
no signals. None of them moved even slightly. Yeah, you know, I'm like, yes,
this still makes me an asshole for doing this, but we're late.
Right? Right. Hey. I was like, either we make it on or
we just sit here for no reason behind these people that aren't going to turn.
So. And I just, I made that choice. And she was still upset with me
from, you know, being uncomfortable about the driving, not feeling safe, because again,
we talked about it later, but it's, you know, it was her baggage for
not being in control and she wasn't happy with how I was driving because of
that. Right. Yeah. It wasn't that she wasn't trusting me or thinking that I was
doing something bad. Well, until that right turn thing I did, she thought I did
something bad. Anyway, I get us. I do the bobbing and a weaving and I
do the parking. I get us into the theater on time, we're good to go,
we sit down, we calm down, we have a discussion about it where I'm like,
I tell her again about the car's thing, and I'm like, I can show
you. Like, if you get anywhere near anything, it sends off an alarm and it
tells you. And I was like, that never went off during any of that driving
that I was doing. I know that you don't. Like, whenever you're speeding up
between cars and that sort of thing is happening. I was like, but I've been
driving this car for several weeks now, and I know what it can do.
I know how to handle it. I know how to drive it. And I didn't
do it any faster or any worse than what I've had her do when she's
driving me around in her car. Right. And I was like, is the real problem,
problem that you maybe weren't in control of the car driving then, and you were
not getting it to stop when you wanted it to stop to feel safer.
And she was like, yes, okay, well, I can't do anything about that if you
want me to drive, right? Like, I can't drive the way you want other people
to drive you. Like, Right? Like, I just. Like, I don't know if I can
do that. I was like, are you going to be okay to ride with me?
She's like, I just won't, like, look at. I'll just look at my phone from
here on out, right? And I was like, yeah. I was like, okay, I'm going
to take it easy on the way home, and I'm just going to get us
home safe. And if you don't feel safe during that, we'll talk some more about
me never driving you again, I guess. Right? But I
get her home, everything's fine after that. And then she just kind of admits it
was a stressful day. And then being late like that and having me drive like
that, it put more stress on her and had her worry. And she was like,
I was more worried about people hitting you than you hitting anyone else. And I'm
like, I know, honey, it's fine. But that is the story of me. Gotta watch
it out, you speed demon. Yeah, but that is the story of me being able
to see what it is that my car can do. And I'll tell you what,
that bastard can go. And I'm in love with that. Yeah, man.
I rode in it and that thing said, that's a sweet ride.
I didn't even put it in sport mode whenever I did the acceleration for
you. It's even worse in sport mode. Jesus Christ.
That's awesome. All right, well, that takes us over the limit for our story time,
so let's go ahead and play the show. Housekeeping. And immediately following that, on the
pirate radio edit for this week, all songs released in 1995. Just like
the film Godzilla vs Destoroyah, or at least in
the Billboard 100. And that will be for this segment,
Collection of Soul with the song December on the pirate radio edit.
Immediately following this, if you've decided to. Take notes,
maybe, or hold the microphone. All the way off.
Dan, you're a human shield at this point and you know it. Could I,
you know, maybe try the constant near death good. Right chemical
thing, too, actually. Yes. I also think your pal Shamir can be
let out of the box long enough to experience this, too. The readings indicate with
your current formulas that this Mixture of chemicals and the frequency of
the natural vibrations of the unpadded injector pumps creates
a definite shift in temporal cognizance. What is that now?
New age speak engaged. The soul
eagle activating liquid and harmony of Mother Earth's vibration
coupled with the far out mind expanding good vibes
infused with your thunder, third eye and spirit lets you gaze
into the infinite. You new a speed deactivated.
Hook up Dan and bring Shamir in from stasis.
I will return with the shaman charlatan.
I have become one with the nothingness. This deprivation
has only strengthened my resolve. You are a clone that has diploma
from an abandoned project for the master to torture
and experiment on. You only get the memories of the last
time he backed them up, which was the stasis he cloned you in.
I have explained this to a new print of you nearly 1300
times now. I almost want to back you up here just to
save myself the time. Oh, actually, yes, do that. But back him up after he
is hooked up to this machine. Trust me, you will love how much he screams
when this is the experience he wakes up to from here on out. This sounds
like the worst thing I. Have ever woken up to hear in my life.
It's the worst thing you have woken up to to hear so far.
Collective Soul was that band in the like late 90s that just showed up
and like was around for like several songs, ended up in a bunch of movies
and then just disappeared. Yeah, I think they even had
a song in like the Curse of Michael Myers, the Sixth Halloween that was released
in this time. Like around here. No, no, no, they had a song. Collective Soul
had a song in Scream. Yeah, there was in both, I think is what I'm
getting at. Okay. I didn't know. I didn't know if they were in the.
Yeah, Halloween 1. Yeah, but I know they had a scream 2. They had the
title song. Oh, really? They got to do the title song for Scream 2?
I did not realize that. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, one of
the reasons why I probably didn't remember or realize that is the way that I
followed the instructions on our final song for tonight, also released in 1995,
like Godzilla vs. Destroya. To close us out, we're gonna have Tom Petty with the
song, you Don't Know how it Feels on the pirate radio edit. So enjoy that
while you kick the fuck out of this weekend. Make it your bitch.
Let me cut. I don't want to do this. I don't want to experience this.
Let me go. Oh my God. All of this for laughs? For a podcast?
All of it. No. This is horrible.
I don't know. If we adjust the frequencies and manipulate
this device to connect with the 3TV. Your cran drawn diagram
appears to be correct. You can connect the simulated death
experience and temporal space time to the actual subject's
own death and loop it back to their creation using neural
mapping of their memories. We will test this on the Dan and Shamir
clones until we get this right. Am I a torture clone too?
Shut the up, Dan. Matt bot. I suspect we can penetrate
the multiverse with this. You said penetrate.
And I trait petitrate.
Good stuff, Matt bot. Initiate Matt immature laugh loop.
Break protocol seven.
Him. Him. Me get with a horse.
Matt. Matt. Fuck. Matt. Matt. Matt.
Matt. Who in the fuck took my paper clip? It's only
a movie. I hate Matt. Time for incoming
mail. It's Sunday's my birthday and I don't.
Want to go to a mental hospital. I'm determined to have your brain. Determined to
have your brain. Determined to have your brain. Who is that guy? I don't know,
but whoever he was. Where is this dog? Who is that guy? Whoever he
was. Weird. This dog. Matt. It's Sunday's my birthday and I don't want
to go to a mental hospital. So. Not a thing a.
Now I'm sad. There we go. Hey, you're back.
All right. Still a little sad. Recording in progress.
Oh, when I was around with the clips, I hit one that had Boz's voice
voice and it just made me a little sad and so I just missed.
My gosh. Yeah, I'll be okay. It's fine. I'll be able to pull
out the. All the stops that I have to do for the show, so.
All right, we're ready to knock out my episode now. Let's get it going.
All right. Three, two, one. It's funny. People will be
like, Cort doesn't breathe. No, I don't.
Why do that? I take big breaths, babble until I lose my breath,
and then take a deep, deep breath and do it all again.
That's why it seems like I never shut the up. Let me see.
Looking for 4:30. I got to get you out by.
Yeah. All right. We should be good. Anything over a minute,
clip wise, I will drop until we start running out of time, and then I'll
drop all clips till we finish smoke my throat raw for my episode.
Great. Jesus. Only one thing to do is just hit it and make it worse.
I'm gonna go full. Yeah, right. You can't get
any worse than we. Already are, I'm going to drive it into Kathleen Turner overdrive.
I did that all in one breath.
If I keep this up, my podcasting style is going to be micro machine salesman
apparently, right?
You said penetrate. Then I train.
Good stuff, Matt Bot. Initiate Matt Immature laugh loop.
Break protocol 7. Footage, footage,
footage, footage. Who the hooked him up
to this machine? I hooked me up. This constant suspended at the
point of diet is better than this sketch. What the fuck's a
podcast? God damn it. This has to be the stupidest thing he
has written yet. What the is the point of any of this? I mean,
I get that he hates himself so much that I have to represent everything about
himself he dislikes, but does he have to keep retelling the same story
from multi dimensional perspectives and expect people to even
give a.
Well. One of the reasons why I probably didn't remember or realize that is the
way that I followed the instructions on our final song for tonight,
also released in 1995 like Godzilla vs. Destroya. To close
us out, we're gonna have Tom Petty with the song you don't know how it
feels on the pirate radio edit. So enjoy that while you kick the out of
this weekend. Make it your. Let's roll another
joy. Yeah, those were the instructions I had there that I was
following. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, we gotta stop all of this so
that we can stop doing the recording to get you the fuck out of here.
Recording stopped.
