Cinema PSYOPS

Anyone who isn't dead or from another plane of existence would do well to cover their ears. Right about now.

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 style.

10 years, man. 10. 10 years. Can't stop thinking about. Ladies and gentlemen, the images and events contained within the motion picture series are shocking.

and often nauseated, serious consideration and introspection should be given before viewing such offensive and degrading...

Cinema PsyOps. A pirate ship with a tattered flag, sailing across seas of questionable movies while firing cannons of disdain. Cinema PsyOps. Long may she sail.

Ten years, man! Ten years! Ten years!

the following show will destroy your self-worth with excessive expletives overtly descriptive sexual deviants and more desperation for external validation than any so-called entertainment should ever be allowed

which you are about to hear is an account of the tragedy which befell two washed up losers in particular Cort psyops and his immature co-host matt it was all the more tragic in that they were uncultured morons But had they lived very, very full lives,

They could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see each week. For them, an idiotic podcast show became a nightmare.

were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, cinema psyops, with Cort and Matt. So...

Let me tell you something that you should have already realized by now about this fucking show you're listening to. This shit is supposed to be for mature audiences. As in grown-ups, mentally mature. It's supposed to talk about adult subjects in an adult frame of mind.

It's not fucking that at all. This is two emotionally regressed, broken half-wits pretending to offer insight on movies. All they really offer you is an endless sexual perversion and a laundry list of personal...

You have to choose this as entertainment. You know you're better than this.

You have to know you are better than listening to Cinema Zion. Let us once again make clear that which most do not seem to understand.

meant for the young or immature but because it mucks about in very appalling warmness and tasteless filth whilst reveling in it

aims to drag you down into the very same muck, filled with sexual deviousness and decayed morality. Nine years have made up this paragraph.

Hey, bro.

Ten years! Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on cinema silence. This man returning to the most primal, violent state...

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 blinked out of existence.

Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on Cinema Silence. Ten! Ten! Years! Ten years!

Welcome to the 517th consecutive week of Cinema PsyOps. I'm your host, Cort, the guy that holds out that word hello for way too fucking long and is annoying everybody that listens to this fucking show and makes them wonder why the fuck they even care about it and wondering what the fuck it is that I...

I just read it about as my co-host Dan. Hi, I'm back to probably everyone's dismay. Yeah.

As I had mentioned earlier with the health crisis going on with Matt's family, we're trying to get it to where we aren't interfering with or taking any time up.

that he would need for his family, and obviously he's not just going to be able to record. We're getting closer, and we think that...

Pretty much two more weeks is going to cover it. So Dan's going to be recording with me for the next two weeks of episodes. Then we're going to come back whenever Matt's ready to start recording again. Finish off what I'm hoping is going to be that we'll get Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One, where Matt will be back.

those final two so he gets to skip having to try and explain things in the millennium series and we'll just be able to come back and watch the millennium series and i've kind of talked with dan about this sort of off mic we've been kind of communicating back and forth and i think i'll just bring it up

here on the show i think i'm going to invite uh darren and then also yourself and then you know brennan and then possibly if we can get it worked out maybe we can have uh darren's son guest on there too because both of your project both darren and yourself

children are way bigger Godzilla fans than what we are and I kind of want to have them on with these commentaries while Matt's just kind of geeking out on the attacks to just like fill in with like information about stuff and I'm hoping that we can kind of schedule that and work

that out but that's going to be after we come back from the hiatus because matt and i both need this fucking hiatus i am burnt out as shit so i wanted to put it out there and see what kind of you know if i know i mentioned that to you before and we talked about brendan doing it but i'm putting

Putting it out there is also like a shout out, you know, for Darren and his kit to see if maybe he'd be interested in doing that. Yeah. Even if I can't make it, you could, Brennan will be more than happy.

be there for you. Yeah, we would just have to basically figure out a way that it'll work for Brennan's schedule and then also for Matt's, which is really, really difficult, which is why I'm not even going to bother until after we take a hiatus because I fucking need it. That's all I'm saying, right?

holy shit so how many episodes are you for this new drawing inspiration podcast or video cast or what is it when it's on YouTube is it a vidcast or a podcast I don't know it's just videos I guess

I think, well, I was supposed to get one out yesterday, but I wasn't able to. So hopefully today I can get one out and I think it'll be like the fourth or fifth one. Awesome. So...

You're chucking right along. You have the fourth or fifth that's going to be released shortly, and I'm assuming that I'm the problem as to why you couldn't get it released. Yikes.

No, no, no. It was my podcast that got in the way. Oh, that's right. Yeah. New Corrupted Youth just recently came out. You and your son Brennan recorded. You guys are back with the summer slasher camp, right? Yep, that's right. Yeah, yeah.

We did In a Violent Nature. Oh, yeah, that's a very divisive slasher, quote unquote, film. I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's a lot of walking.

Well, I go through a very good rant on there to just kind of like give my thoughts on it. And I think I just I think I nail it. What's actually going on? And I get why it's divisive, though. Yeah, it's not that I dislike it.

It's just that it does some things that I'm not sure I agree with a lot of the choices in there. And that's fine. I don't have an issue with that. If a film is going to do something that is rather challenging and trying to do something new and creative, I definitely dig it. I watched that for the very...

first time with

uh like on the last drive-in with joe bob briggs so that was much easier for me to be able to watch it that way because i got segment breakups with you know joe bob and his commentary and all that kind of stuff and some of the things that he wanted to discuss and he was trying really hard to to win me over into like

in the film a little bit more than what I think I did. Yeah, now that we've recorded our episode, I can go back and watch that last drive-in on it because I was like, I don't want to be tainted with any Joe Bob for this one. Right, yeah.

Totally want to come at it from your own perspective for a review before you really give any shit about what anybody else is going to think of it. Otherwise, it's going to be inauthentic and you're going to be tail, like not so tailoring it, but it's going to be flavored by those opinions, especially if you're a fan.

because I totally am. Because when I watched that on Joba, I was like, guess I'm not going to review this one for a while.

You know what I mean? So there is that. What we are going to definitely be reviewing, though, is one of my personal favorites. Definitely, probably the favorite one of the Millennium series. Godzilla Tokyo.

SOS 2003. This one is fucking fun. I really like this one. Oh, yeah. Brennan and I got to watch this for the 20th anniversary in the theater. Oh.

jealous was it on film or was it a digital release i think it was digital it was so fucking good though yeah this is an exciting one uh this is some of the best mothra fighting in this with natural abilities without being the overpowered mothra that we've seen in

And Rebirth of Mothra 1, 2, and 3, this is the standard Godzilla universe, can't really do much more than flying and scales Mothra. But they make her as powerful as she is in her debut film because they bring some of those elements.

back and there's a lot of member berries in this one and I'm here for it all day. I'm just going to fucking say it.

Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. Absolutely. Yeah, they're really well done is the thing. And I don't want to just like spoil everything about how excited I'm going to be to talk about this one. But I'm definitely glad that I've got you on the line for this one because I.

I'm pretty sure that we're going to sync up and enjoy it, just given by the way that we were communicating in our messages to each other about the film while we were getting ready to do the recording. So I'm definitely excited. I'm ready to rock. I don't know if you are, but I think we're ready to go.

Yeah, let's do it.

All right. So as we've been doing this entire time, we're going to have all songs featured in the same year that the film was released. Godzilla Tokyo SOS is 2003. So a song that is 100% inescapable in 2003.

the pirate radio edit immediately following the patreon ad is fountains of wane with stacy's mom this'll keep previously featured in the glimpse of a destroyed universe it is all terrifying

isn't it i'm sorry it is it is all scary i'm scared i'm scared just saying it out loud really if god is real and he watches when we masturbate and he has such a fragile ego that he only helps us when we beg him and shower

with praise and he hates gay people for being what he made them to be well that's terrifying if there's no god and we're just horny microscopic ants floating on a rock through space with no divine purpose and no hope to achieve eternal life well

that's terrifying too either the church is true or it is a fraud it is the church and kingdom of god or it is nothing do you agree with that currently happening in the glimpse of a destroyed universe it is the church and kingdom of god or

is nothing do you agree with that absolutes and faiths that proclaim absolutes for truth are easily disproven either as being accurate to an organization or not yes thought you might agree there so either it is all true or none of its true yes if we

Do you agree with that? Yes. Okay, then I want...

you to choose which reality is from the true author's world based on your faith are you asking for me to deliberate my belief in the author is that a factor which will correspond to this sketch discussion ending i'm asking you to choose between belief and disbelief my own

claim is that all of the over 10,000 verifiable religions that exist in the multiverse today are as artificial as the symbolic sketch you are currently existing in it is farce there is nothing holy here your religious text from the author is mere ornament

as hollow and as capitalistic as these ridiculous monopoly games. I think that we are being studied. I think the author wants to learn something about us based on which reality we select. Is that the game? Someone scratches their neck and he's watching.

say the wrong thing and he stumbles on his words a candle flame flickers and it captures his attention what have you been looking for what have you found if I'm right then the only thing that matters right now is what we actually believe and because I think you

Your rhetoric is thin, and your garage sale board game metaphor is kind of offensive. I mean, you asked why Judaism only makes up 0.2% of the world's population but didn't even pause for the Holocaust.

Oh, boy. Yeah, listening to that Fountains of Wayne song, it's definitely feeling a lot more problematic these days. And this underage kid is trying to seduce a grown woman and thinking that she could possibly be interested in him. I know that...

a lot of little boys have those kinds of fantasies about older women that they may be attracted to but uh the video really really makes it kind of gross

I'm going to just try and wash all of that off and we're going to stop talking about that. And let's actually get into talking about Godzilla Tokyo SOS. All right. The first third opens with a porno shot of Mecca G and dialogue describing what's going on.

And that is our first clip. Circuit connection. 40%. 55%. 70%.

DNA computer connections complete. System normal. Intercepted unidentified target. Cruise missile? Orange alert.

Unidentified target picked up on radar. All units, stand by to intercept target. A UFO is heading for Japan. The target is now approaching, entering the Southern Air Defense Zone and is presently heading north off Iwo Jima. Intercept.

Two F-15s dispatched from Hiakori Air Base. Any visuals? Yes, sir. Coming up. Blue 1, what's your status? Blue 1, radar, lockdown target. We're going in to identify.

to do speed to Mach 2. Commencing pursuit. Roger, blue one. Target approaching. Now entering airspace. You are violating Japanese airspace. You must change course immediately. It's

Ignoring all-out warnings. Project Blue Line copy. Target in sight. Cannot identify. Request a fire warning shot.

Target locked on. Target's still on course. What's that? What's the problem, Blue One? Singing. And you're singing. Singing? It's just your imagination, Blue One.

Target has disappeared. We've lost the radar signal, sir. Was it shot down? No missile reached the target.

We're getting a visual from the satellite, sir. My God. So we have Amothra appear and rocket as the unidentified flying object that is shockingly identified.

Just as the main title pops up in that fight night promotion poster style, and I am a fan of this title, Tokyo SOS is pretty much what I think of thanks to the Blue Oyster Cult when I see that there goes Tokyo.

go-go Godzilla and all that shit.

After the credits, they cut to a house and a reporter and some uninteresting human interest stories in our second clip. As we reported in our earlier news bulletin today, Godzilla has not been cited since last May when it attacked Tokyo.

Mechagodzilla is still under repair and is not operational. A Defense Forces spokesman says that it will not run wild this time, as it did before. This is Koji Nakamoto at Yokosuka Navy Base.

Now it's getting a bit long in the tooth, unfortunately. Look at it! What a fuselage! The clean lines from the nose down to the tail. Uncle Yoshi, have you ever touched a real one?

Sean, didn't I tell you not to call me uncle? Yeah, my first job was as ground crew for the F1, then F4s and F15s. But there'll probably never be another one like this. Hey, a Mecha-G? Mecha-G? Hmm, that's a good machine too.

Great, finished. That's great. I'll show it to Grandpa. Grandpa, look, it's finished. Huh? An earthquake.

Mr. Chujo. Mr. Chujo. Mr. Chujo. Here we are, Mr. Chujo. Incredible. Tell me, am I dreaming? No, you're not dreaming. It's been a long time, hasn't it?

Uncle, are you okay? Uncle, who are those girls? Don't worry now. They're old acquaintances. So you do remember us, sir? Well, naturally.

How could I forget you? Do you remember you met two fairies from our family on Infant Island 43 years ago? Well, now we've come to find you. Yes, but I'm an old man now. This here is my grandson.

Please, sir. We have a favor to ask of you. A favor? That's right. We came here because we believe you'll be able to understand our problem. Well, all right, if you think I can help. What's the favor? It's Godzilla's bones. You must send them back to the city.

See?

Human beings made a weapon using the bones from Godzilla. That was a mistake. It was a mistake to build Mechagodzilla? My nephew Yoshi, he's in the Air Force, on the Mechagi ground crew. No human being may touch the souls of...

We came to tell you that Godzilla's bones must return to the sea and remain there.

Forever? But Mechagodzilla is our only protection. That's right. What if Godzilla attacks us again one day? If that happens, then Mothra will be there to protect you. But 43 years ago, Mothra destroyed Tokyo.

Tell me, why would it choose to protect us this time, huh? Please listen. Godzilla's bones must be returned to the sea. If they're not, then Mothra will declare war on the human race. Naturally, we don't want that war to happen. And neither does Mothra.

During the fight with Godzilla last year, Mechagodzilla suffered damage to 37% of its components. It lost an arm and its absolute zero system.

However, repairs are continuing at pace. I'm very pleased to tell you...

That the arm has already been replaced today. Minister, suppose Godzilla returns. Is Mechagodzilla ready to go into action? The Absolute Zero system. Is it repaired yet? As of now, it's hard to tell when repairs to the Absolute Zero system will be completed.

However, Mechagodzilla is working. It doesn't make any sense at all. They know it's not operational. You haven't checked its mobility. Isn't that right? Are you listening too, Joe?

Sure. Yeah, that's right. During the battles last year, we inflicted serious damage on Godzilla.

As you well know. Since then, we've continued searching for Godzilla using the Surveyor satellite. But we haven't been able to find it. I have a question.

Please go ahead. Some experts reported that the monster was attracted by the bones that were used to construct Mechagodzilla. I'd like to know the defense agency's opinion. Can you comment on that, sir? Chujo, how did your vacation go? Okay.

I just stayed at my uncle's place. Did something happen to you on vacation? No, why? Well, you've been so absent-minded lately, it's unusual. Where's the mess? There they are. The new Mecha-G pilot. Yep.

Bye, guys! Okay, see you later! I'm home! Now, in his speech to the press earlier, the minister said that Godzilla wouldn't appear. So what's your opinion on that?

Well, if that's correct, why are we wasting so much money on repairing Mechagodzilla?

We've seen what Godzilla can do, and we can't take any chances. It's our only defense. In Shinagawa, the theater of last year's great encounter with Godzilla, most of the area was destroyed, and rebuilding has yet to be started. Yes, but if I'm right...

Mega Godzilla was designed to fight Godzilla and any other monsters that attacked us. So that means that Godzilla isn't necessarily the only danger to this country. And that other threats to national security have to be accounted for in any kind of action.

If that's the case, it seems strange. So what are you doing? Huh? Oh, just putting a few things in order. You see, I'm making a record for future generations. You see these? They're photos of Infant Island.

43 years ago, I went there as a language expert. I was part of an expedition. It was there that I met the fairies. Is this what Mothra did to Tokyo, Grandpa? That's right. Mothra attacked Tokyo because...

Some villains kidnapped the fairies and brought them back here to Japan. Mothra was merely coming to rescue the two fairies. See this? It's the Mothra symbol. We found this on the island.

You see, what happened was that we rescued the fairies from their kidnappers. Then this symbol was painted onto an airport runway. That way, we successfully managed to attract Mothra to us.

These three pilots will be leaving us temporarily to go overseas. They've been chosen to study combat tactics and strategy in the States. We hope the experience...

will lead to better efficiency and precision in Mechagodzilla's operations. They will return to Japan in a year's time, bringing with them their newly acquired experience. We wish them all well.

So, when do you think you'll be leaving? Our flight leaves tomorrow night. Thank you very much. Hey, come on, you can relax a little. Here. Have a drink.

How's it going? Fine. I've just been accepted as a pilot. It was confirmed earlier today. Oh, that's great. You're supposed to say congratulations. We did work together, you know. Hey, introduce me. This is Azusa.

We worked together a few years ago. We were ground crew together. How are you? So, tell me, why did you want to be a pilot? Flying has always been a dream for me, so I volunteered as soon as I could.

Hey, what are you doing hiding over here? This is Akiba, my colleague. A Top Gun, Mecha-G's first pilot. Sure, he may be a good pilot, I grant you. But the way he treats his machines, it's a wonder there's anything left. What's your game, huh?

Forget about it. After the dude catches the fly in his hand as a macho display of needless cruelty and bravado, the film cuts from that to a dude on a Death Star looking walkway in some kind of super facility where we see they house the Mechagon.

And they have a flashback to the twins from less than 12 minutes ago, which we heard them say exactly what they just said. Only it's now later in the film and it's a flashback that sparks more dialogue from that guy's talkie hole in our...

human beings made a weapon using the bones from godzilla that was a mistake well are you a product of man's mistake airman chujo mecha g ground crew

Why aren't you at the party? Well, I didn't feel comfortable. I'd rather be here. See, parties like that aren't ready my cup of tea. Mine neither. Did you come here?

To say goodbye to Mechagodzilla? It's all right. You can stand easy. Thank you. Well? It's true I'm going to miss Mechagodzilla. We never finished a job against Godzilla. I get the feeling...

That it doesn't want to fight Godzilla anymore. Maybe it's better if it stays that way. In disrepair. No, I can't agree. I want to fix it. So it can fight another day.

Please take care of it.

What you're saying is you want me to freeze the Mecca G project. Yes, Prime Minister, that's what I'm asking you. Let's call it a recommendation. To be honest with you, your story is ridiculous. Why is it so ridiculous?

Tell me what does this say? It says that life has to be lived within the time that nature allows. We have made a killing machine with the bones from Godzilla. We mustn't forget that.

Somewhere we crossed the line between mortals and gods. So what you're saying is, we should stop the project. You must remember.

Man-made nuclear weapons which brought Godzilla back and that was a mistake. You're right, it was a mistake. But Mothra destroyed our capital city. I can't risk it doing so again.

I agree with you that one day we'll have to discard Mecha G. However, as long as this country is threatened by Godzilla, we can't give up our only defense.

It would be suicidal for us. It's my duty to protect every citizen of this nation. Even if that defense brings disaster to those people you're trying to protect?

Earlier this morning, the giant carcass of the creature was found washed up on the Pacific coast.

Units from the Japan self-defense forces are working flat out to try and get rid of the concrete. I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to clear the area. Yes, but I have to finish. I'm sorry, security comes first. We have orders. Yes.

Take a good look. This is what we're up against. Worse. Some of the monsters are even bigger than this. It was wounded, it seems, and managed to reach the coast. And it's a big one, too.

First one of these we've had for 17 years. A camebus, right? Oh, a specialist? It was first found on Selgio Island, discovered by Dr. Mia some years ago.

Megalomata-mata, giant sea turtle. Couldn't he have come up with an easier name to pronounce? Knee injury? Right here, it has deep cuts in its neck caused by giant claws. It was fatally wounded.

It was attacked by some kind of giant predator, I'd say. Like another monster, sir? Yes. It can only be Godzilla. Captain, we've got an unidentified object off our port bow.

All ahead, one-third. Sonar, confirm acoustics print. All ahead, one-third. Aye, aye, sir. The target is approaching rapidly. Distance 280.

Full right rudder! All ahead full! Full right rudder! All ahead full!

This we see Godzilla grab ahold of the submarine, wrestle around with it, clawing and chomping the ever fucking shit out of that sub. And it decompresses with water shooting in as Big G drags it to the depths, spinning around and playing with it like my cat.

does one of his fucking claw attack toys that I give him. It was adorable and terrifying all at once.

There are two giant explosions underwater signifying the sub is no more. There is some okay CGI and decent model work and set flooding effects. So this was great overall. No real notes, but I do need to mention, holy fuck.

They totally had Godzilla mutilate and destroy Gamera with not even like atomic breath, but just with like, he just clawed his neck and let him bleed out. That's so fucking...

Harsh, man. Why did they do that to Gamera in this? I don't get it. That is supposed to be Gamera, right?

I'm guessing so. Like, they give it a pretty crazy long name, and the one guy's like, I don't know, why don't they just give it, like, something that's easier? And I'm like, mm-hmm. Yeah. Like what, Gamera? Right, right. We should call it Project Gamera for short.

Well, Gamera is not the friend of all children now that it's a giant fucking corpse, man. This was harsh. Like, even for Toho standards, this is a bit harsh. We should talk about the name of this group in this movie.

Okay, yeah. Because they're not good graspers this time. Yeah, thankfully. They are Japan counter-xenomorph self-defense force. Yeah, I'm just calling them the fucking JDF. Fuck that, or the GDF. I'm not.

These acronyms are just like calling fucking Mechagodzilla Kiru. It's the JDF or the GDF, for fuck's sakes. It's just a mouthful. Right? It's like, what the fuck, movie? Can you make your acronyms even harder to fucking say to try and improve?

It's not going to work. You fucking already murdered Gamera. Like I'm in. Come on.

Oh, that just seems needlessly cruel to do to Gamera fans. If you're a Gamera fan and you're also a Godzilla fan, this feels kind of like a slight. It kind of does, yeah.

So they cut from that sub attack to our fourth clip. Well, what about absolute zero? I already told you, didn't I? Get me a synthetic diamond 1.25 meters in diameter and I'll fix it tomorrow.

There's a budget limit, you know. How do you expect me to purchase a diamond that size, for God's sake? If you can't afford it, you give up. Isn't there any alternative to the diamond? Only carbon in that crystal form gives you enough power.

Nothing else can replace it. A US nuclear submarine was lost off Guam earlier today. Godzilla, huh? The Navy and Air Force are searching. So far, they've found no trace.

That's why we need Mechagodzilla back in service quickly. It can move without Absolute Zero. But it won't be functional. I was told it could work without it, is that right? Yes, it can move. That's true. Wait a minute!

We haven't even done the final checkup yet. It'd be suicide. Jujo, it's quite true, sir. The final checkup's not complete. Mecha-G can move. But if it does get damaged, we're not sure if it'll be able to survive.

In other words, Mechagodzilla could be lost forever. So how long is it going to take for this final checkup? I need to know. At the earliest, two weeks. I don't have the time! What happens if Godzilla attacks in the next two weeks?

Lieutenant Yamamoto, report to Green Sector. So you don't want Mechagodzilla to fight? Somebody told me. Your uncle went to see the Prime Minister to try and stop the Mechagy project. If we dump Mechagy, you think Mothra will defend the country, huh? What is it?

Maybe you're just scared of fighting Godzilla. Yoshi, come on! Don't be an idiot! Look, Akiba! I've worked here for over four years, you hear me? No one knows Mecha-G better than me!

You're just a mechanic. Don't mix it with a professional fighter.

You are an idiot. I know you've made Mechagodzilla your life.

But still, it's all you talk about. Engine performance stats. The latest developments in navigational aids. You even get crazy about cannons. Machines are the only things you're interested in. Who says I get crazy about cannons? You're in love with machines, admit it.

You don't even think about women. Hey, Chujo! You have trouble with Akiba? Yes, I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't care less. Still, you must have upset the big brass. Seems you've been summoned to some kind of hearing.

I hear my son behaved disgracefully towards you. I must apologize. You know, my son volunteered to be a pilot because his ambition was to pilot the only giant robot ever constructed, and he's realized that ambition. However, that is not the point here.

I asked you here today not to talk about my son's ambitions, but about Mothra. We'd like you to tell us what happened that day after. Quite honestly, we have a little problem here. We find it very hard to believe the story Mr. Chujo told us.

Tell me, so, did you really see Mothra that evening? And is it also true that Mothra told you it would fight in place of Mechagodzilla? Tell me, are you dropping the project? If Mothra does manage to kill Godzilla, we won't need Mechagodzilla anymore. This isn't a formal h-

At the end of the clip, that pilot dude walks out of the conference room, and that is pretty much the end of the first...

third of the film. We kind of talked about the member berries a little bit at the beginning, so I kind of wanted to bring that up here. I'm definitely here for this all day. I love that they actually brought back an actor that was in, like, that's the original Mothra movie, if I'm not mistaken, right?

that he comes from it looks like that's what it is because that's when they go to the island and he was one of the good guys that was trying to be nice and return the fairies or return the egg or whatever it is that they steal this particular time it's either the fairies or the egg it's just this movie's the Godzilla bones

And he's an uncle grandpa. Yeah, he's a grandpa uncle and an uncle and a grandpa, which makes sense. So basically the nephew kid that is the mechanic is what, like a sister or a brother's child.

And these are the only remaining family members they have left, one assumes, because of Godzilla, because why not? Right. And he has this Mothra connection from the original Mothra movie, so that means that the Mothra...

movie that is a separate movie existed in this universe, the Godzilla movie that existed prior in the 1954 series, that exists, that version of Godzilla in this film. And those two worlds have somehow met in the world of Godzilla again.

against Mechagodzilla, which has even more kaijus that they were hinting at that we never get to see anything done with. Yeah, and at least this one's a sequel.

Right. Yeah. They actually are tying some stories together. They're bringing some characters back. And these two films are really solid and really well done. Like Godzilla against Mechagodzilla leading into this one.

I really like the way these two work together. And the only time I don't watch them together is for this show. Cause I had to do separate reviews. Right. So it is what it is, but these two are.

perfect to watch together. I fully endorse that. And who knew that building a Mechagodzilla around the original Godzilla's bones would be a bad idea? I mean... Me in last week's episode, I say it like a lot where I'm like, this is not good. This is...

are fucking around and you're about to find out like and that was before i even was like you know obviously i knew because i knew the other movie but i was pretending not to know in that because that's the when you watch this film you don't know that the next one's coming when it was originally released and

If you watch it in that frame of mind and you're like, this is still a bad idea. How many times does this Godzilla wake up, right?

There's a ghost in this machine, right? I think we're good. We need to move on to the middle act. What do you think? Let's go for it. All right. So the middle act of the film starts with the pilot dude in the hallway when he notices his uncle starts some talky hole dialogue talking.

Our fifth clip. Uncle. Hi. Well then, what else? What did you reply? So, you'd rather not tell me, I see. All I can see is, we made Mechagodzilla into a weapon.

And now, maybe, we'll scrap it. So either way, it's a selfish decision. Whatever. It's up to you now. You do what you think's best. This is Red 2 Niner, point 3251 North, 1390 East.

A giant creature has been located off the coast. Present heading is northwest. Surfacing! All ships, battle stations. Weapon systems ready to fire. Systems ready!

Control, radar localized. Fire at will. It's still closing. Range 450. Prepare secondary systems. Yes, sir. Secondary systems, stand by. Target locked on. Fire.

Godzilla emerges from the ocean and they fire on him. I think this version of the suit from Tokyo SOS is my favorite sculpt from the Millennium series. I really like the 2000 design and I particularly like this variation of the 2000 design. I want to get a Tokyo...

SOS Godzilla figure of some sort if I don't have one already I gotta check the chests to see if I got one because I just bought every one of the NECA ones that came out without even caring which one it came from so I'm not sure if the one that I have that looks like

the Tokyo SOS one is actually from the Godzilla against Mechagodzilla or not. But I know that I have just about every Godzilla figure that NECA released. So I'm hoping that I can find this one for not super expensive if I don't have it.

Yeah, I've got Brennan's Mechagodzilla from this hanging out on my mantle right now. Oh, that's awesome. I need to get one. I need to get a Mechagodzilla. Too bad he had to move out. Now it's mine.

All right, so there's a shot after this great giant tank of water pseudimation stuff where Godzilla takes a dive in the ocean and they fire torpedoes at him in some passable but noticeably composited through a soupy dark ocean thing.

As an excuse to cover it up a little. It's like, I don't know if it's CG or what, but yeah.

I'm not sure how it compares to other similarly budgeted CGI of the time, but it's enough that you know something is off when you see it and you know it's composited really, really dark to try and cover that up. It's passable. Right. It's dark enough to where...

And it's quick enough to where you're like, okay, I see where you cut that corner. I'm fine with that. Cause you're going to give me something better now. I'm assuming. Yeah. You're just going to, they just kind of like clip out of it. Like it's, there's enough, but they don't, they don't dwell on it too long. Right. I think anything that's like just a few seconds of.

shot or just a quick Godzilla swimming away shot while being attacked. I think I'm fine with that with moderately passable CGI and then just composite it through dark soupy ocean. I'm fine with that.

They cut from the torpedo attack to some serious docky hole action in our sixth clip.

We've been told that earlier today, Godzilla was seen off Hachicho Island and is presently heading towards the north, towards Tokyo, despite heavy bombing. Say, Grandpa, tell me if Godzilla does attack, and if Mechagodzilla goes out...

to stop it. Do you think that Mothra will come to protect us, huh?

We've loaded the Hyper Mazer. We can use that instead of Absolute Zero. You can rest assured, Mecha-G is functional. Hyper Mazer unit loaded. Godzilla heading north-northwest, 30 knots. Shinagawa's been a pile of rubble since last year.

We'll fight it there. You mean fight it on land, sir? We have to try to minimize damage, Lieutenant. Godzilla's still advancing. Course and speed steady. Godzilla just passed Jiraga, sir!

Set defense lines. Chinagawa City. We have to lure it there. All units, redeploy immediately. Hooray!

Spider-1, land troops redeployed in Shinagawa City.

Father, John has disappeared. Huh? He can't have. Go to the refuge quickly.

My father! ...should be found.

Lookout 1, confirm explosion of mines. Target moving into the harbor.

All units, pull back to point B. Affirm chest injury. You see that? Judging by the wound, it's the same Godzilla. So that could mean if it hasn't healed completely...

We may still have a chance. Redeployment, all infantry units, point B. SSM-1 in place confirmed. Pulling back to point B, over. Roger, SSM-1 over. Target locked on. The tube's ready.

Fire! Control, I can't read you.

Launch confirmed. Missiles tracking target.

When the huge typhoon level of wave rolls up during that clip and Godzilla emerges looming over us, I pop hard and damn near punch the air. This is...

Absolutely my favorite design of this era of Godzilla. He looks fucking sinister. I might actually plan a variation of this evil looking sculpted head without damage to the chest from the previous movie. And then like an amalgamation of the various 2000s.

looks of Godzilla but this specifically evil looking head sculpt I'm considering doing a Godzilla tattoo for because I really like the evil head sculpt in this this is a good one yeah it's a really nice head they sculpted it really well especially the bigger one that they do the puppetry

insert shots of whenever he's roaring and it's just a close-up on the head, you know that's a much bigger knot on the suit head that they did to make look that detailed and great and give it that much. Yeah, and the eyes look really good too.

Yeah, you look so fucking sinister in this. It's great.

Anyway, after the clip, some kid takes a dive to the pavement trying to flee and they cut to a tank that is a Mazer moving into position. The model Mazer fires and looks fucking terrific doing it. Then tanks fire on Godzilla in the ocean who returns atomic breath and-

destroys the docks and every fucking thing there, which leads into our seventh clip. It's past Shinagawa. It didn't stop. Sir, it's heading for Hachioji. Got someone advancing towards the Nanza district.

Mechagodzilla. It's luring Godzilla there. They cut to Godzilla griefing the city, and then to Mechagodzilla being prepared to be deployed, then to the grandpa chasing his grandchild in our... Hey, you're running the wrong way! It's okay.

Okay. John, come back here. We have to evacuate. Wait, Grandpa. I want to try something first. Godzilla's still advancing. Our defenses are unable to stop it.

The symbol. Hey. Hey, what's that? There's an old man. And there's a young kid with him. What the hell are they doing down there?

And what's that sign? Mothra flies by and swoops past a skyscraper so gracefully and beautifully that I cannot tell if it is CGI-composited animation, puppetry, or all CGI animation that's composite. I have no fucking...

clue how they did it but it looks fucking gorgeous and I am super fucking impressed with it

Yeah. And I'm glad we get a return to a cute and fuzzy Mothra too. Yeah. This is a really well done sculpt. I mean, we see the underside of her later, like during the fight, whenever she gets flipped over and things and.

Just really well done. And the coloring is actually lost whenever she does a scale attack in this one, which we'll see later on too. And I just really love the detail in everything that they did in this. And it really makes it believable. It really makes you think that.

That, you know, Mothra is losing her power as you see like her wings lose the coloring from that and they animate it away with CG and just sort of remove it from here and there. And again, the...

The fur just is really, really detailed and they took enough time to make it look really, really nice that it actually is almost believable. Like her shape of a moth is very much feels like she is actually there and moving around.

in a lot of these shots and not just the her sitting down on a tower flapping her wings or her being suspended flapping her wings like with a black background like as they're doing the cg and she flies around the towers and stuff it feels like she might actually be there

the frame and i'm pressing the i believe button the entire time oh yeah this is this is good they've got really good

sets in this one too and they change up the angles a bit which is nice and you get like a better sense of scale with everything it's not just uh stuff in the foreground with godzilla moving around in the background yeah i gave you a shout out in the last episode which we're recording before you're actually

Actually going to hear where I actually say to check out Godzilla against Mechagodzilla for some of the scale issues we were complaining about in GMK. And I kind of see it here too. And I'm glad that you noticed it. So I'm thinking that if you go back and actually check out.

Godzilla against Mechagodzilla, you would find a lot of shots where you'd be like, okay, well, at least these two in the Millennium series are believable in their scale, even if GMK had some flatlit shots that did not. You know what I mean? These two I actually can find a lot to enjoy. She just looks incredible.

in that flyby i have seriously no notes this is all i'm just gonna gush forever if we don't stop so they cut from that gorgeous flight to mothra flying past the sun and then straight at the camera looking fucking great as she does it and then they

show the kid and the grandpa as the kid says her name and they cut to Mothra hovering over the school in a well-composited shot that is a definite puppet or suitamation. Honestly, I never fully know if flying Mothra is a suit or not.

I'm pretty sure, however, that it's just a puppet to keep it light enough for them to be able to hoist it up. Like, I can see where they would put maybe somebody in a larva, like one of the Mothra larvas, to move it along where they can kind of, you know, be underneath it and scrape. But I think that Mothra is all puppetry.

And it's amazing in this. Yeah, that's good. The kid says Mothra's name once again, so I just back it up and start recording for our ninth clip.

Mothra? We can do it. Godzilla and Mothra. If those two attack us together, we're not gonna make it.

They cut from this to Godzilla doing a stomp through the streets that are now engineered wide enough for them. Thick thighs that end lives, if you know what I mean. And I think you do. Juicy. Yeah, they're thick thighs that end lives. They're not saving anything.

And before Big G can begin to fuck shit up, Mothra comes zooming in.

in more pretty decent looking flying effects with rather believable debris fields. As she zooms past, again, no notes, love it. Mothra then hovers over Godzilla as she calls out her warning cry and he responds.

with his challenging roar mothra starts her gale force wing flapping attack as we see the model work of vehicles and trees being messed up while not the most convincing of models this stuff still wins my heart over because it's believable

And because this shit is actually turning into debris and mush in the shot from the wind that they're blowing at it. What's truly important here is that the close in shots of both the Godzilla head that we've already talked about being puppeteered and the tight shots.

of mothra looking fucking terrific as they animate her wing flaps that's the important part in this sequence that stuff looks so incredible no fucking notes on this because i will gush about these builds for fucking ever again no fucking notes on any of it it's just incredible

Hey, I don't blame you. This builds to a crescendo of Mothra using the power of her wings to literally drive Godzilla.

backward and completely blind him at the same time so that he cannot fire his atomic breath at her this dust storm obscures everything on stage briefly as it clears we see godzilla emerge with mothra directly behind

him she swoops in and grabs godzilla from behind his head grabbing with all six of her legs picking him up and flying with him at an increasing acceleration of speed when she reaches her acceleration point she releases

godzilla to climb into the air as he continues to slide right the fuck through a bridge head first with a serious speed behind him that does our boy big g really fucking dirty and man am i

conflicted this is like watching my parents fight after finding out they're actually getting divorced like this is rough

Yeah, this is where the movie, the movie is just like on now. We need to like let the listeners know the human stuff pretty much done. Yeah, they come back to a little bit and I have like a lot of mini clips where there's some dialogue and then they actually try to move some human story.

human interest along, but this sequence goes on for

Probably like 20 minutes of battle and it's Mothra and Godzilla just wrecking each other. And it's fucking great. It delivers, man. They do cut from this beautiful fucking fight momentarily for one of those talky hole dialogues. And well.

That's our 10th clip. Mothra has appeared. It's attacking Godzilla. Godzilla? The Prime Minister has ordered us to be on standby. So for now, continue the checking and any maintenance.

Sir! Dismissed. Jujo, clear. Mechagodzilla, remain on standby. I repeat, Mechagodzilla, remain on standby.

That's my uncle and my nephew. I thought so. Your uncle drew the same symbol on the airport runway 43 years ago. It's the symbol to attract Mothra. Tell me, sir, are they safe? We haven't been able to pick them up yet. Whenever the symbol's drawn anywhere, Mothra will appear immediately. Did the...

two fairies tell you that, Chujo? No, they didn't, sir. So why are there only two fairies left? I've no idea. Excuse me. Well then, they don't want us to use Mechagodzilla. No doubt they're hoping Mothra will do the fighting for us.

His son's the pilot. Why doesn't he give the order? Why do you think?

He's afraid of losing his son in the battle. They cut from this to the kaiju slobber knocker portion where Godzilla gets a chomping on Mothra's leg and tosses her into a building, ripping that fucking leg right off.

Good thing he only got a hold of one. That was brutal. This is a no fucks given Godzilla in this film. He is pissed.

Mothra rebounds, dropping that magical glitter attack stuff, and then the old man does an expository dialogue about what this means in her death in our 11th clip. Oh, look at that. Mothra must know it's going to die. What's that?

Well, it's attacking with its scales. Mothra's weapon of last resort. Once it loses its scales, it won't be able to stay airborne for long.

Let's go. The end of the clip starts a sequence of the twin pixie ladies singing the Mothra devotion song as we will now have a Mothra reborn from the egg sequence in full effect as Mothra sheds the last of her scales and Godzilla uses his

atomic breath as an attack, which somehow is contained in the scales surrounding him. So when that clears, we see Mothra still hovering and shedding even more of these scales to subdue Godzilla. And that leads to our wealth clip.

Mothra's wings have been injured! Mothra is continuing its attack!

That's enough. Whatever this battle costs in lives and equipment, we have to do something quick to save Mothra. We can't stay idle. If we do, then we've lost anyway. You mean? We must launch Mechagodzilla. Prepare yourselves for the final battle, gentlemen.

Prepare to launch Mechagodzilla. Mechag control, ready to program vectoring. Mechagodzilla, ready for launch. Locking arms away. All systems running.

White Herons, one and two, you are scrambled. Akiba! Listen, the final check couldn't be completed. If you're fighting at close quarters, try to bear that in mind.

Don't worry, Chujo. With my skill, I can overcome any maintenance problems. Just take care of him, will ya? He's tough, but a little bit reckless. Be seeing you.

Final launch reparation. Clear launch pad. Inspection complete. ACT system clear. All systems operational.

Weapon systems activated. Free flight check complete. Ready for liftoff.

Releasing restraints. Harness in place. Mecha Godzilla ready. Ready for transportation. Ready to lift. Mecha G lift. Where's my uncle?

We haven't had any news yet, I'm afraid. Mechagodzilla has been launched, Chujo. You're off duty. Thank you, sir. Wait, you need a car. Take mine.

I like the hotshot pilot guy's line of, with my skill, I can overcome any maintenance problem. Okay, dude. Pretty sure a severed communication line is, in retrospect, going to prove that manifold.

Yeah, you just cursed yourself there, buddy. Yeah, he pulled a Roger and Dawn of the Dead. You never say you got this by the ass, you confident, fucking cocky piece of shit, because that's exactly when you're going to get fucked.

with that player two is entering the game as the thing that should not be is readied and launched and they cut to more mothra holding strong and kicking ass with her sacrificial wing attack that is dwindling in power

And as I mentioned earlier, you will notice that she starts to lose color on her wings as they're doing this attack. Like the more they cut away and then cut back, there's more and more color and gloss from her wings and they start to look kind of clear and not right. And I think that's a...

cool little detail that I've missed until now.

I was going to say, I've never picked up on that. Yeah. And I've watched this movie several times. That attack is dwindling in power and Godzilla powers up his atomic breath as we see his spines glowing. He powers it up just a little.

and fires as Mothra dives out of the way, and then Godzilla explodes Tokyo Tower, which is named and declared in our 13th clip. Tokyo Tower is hit! It's falling!

Yeah, I literally just took that clip just so I could hear that guy say that Tokyo Tower is falling. I'm sorry, everybody. I'm sorry. After this, Godzilla uses the fact that Mothra is distracted from the tower and rubble falling around the grandfather and child to bolt out.

a quick blast of the atomic breath, sending Mothra to the ground. This means that, yet again, we will have to watch Mothra die. Fuck.

Every time. And just in this sequence, as I notice how beautifully sculpted the underside and legs of Mothra are, not to mention the fur on her sides and wings looking completely incredible. This is where I really notice it, even though we talked about it earlier.

G stomps his way on over to attack Mothra only to have huge caliber tracer fire of some sort unload on him because Mechagodzilla has finally fucking entered the game. There's more talky hole dialogue about.

This in R14. The target's in sight. Here we go. Release tow harness. Mecha G!

It's moving. Fire one. Roger. Try this on for some. Mecca G unleashes a huge barrage of missiles, mortar shells, and high-caliber tracer rounds exploding everywhere on Godzilla, driving him backward. Holy fuck.

Those explosions were incredible. That was the bulk of the budget. That was incredible.

They cut from this awesomeness to the nephew of the grandpa looking for their corpses in the Honda placement portion of this film. There's a lot of product placement for Honda in this. They do the keys when the guy hands it over and then him just driving that element everywhere.

They really want people to make the element a thing in this, I guess. Godzilla Tokyo SOS brought to you by Honda. Honda element used in Tokyo SOS.

It's no Dr. Pepper. Yeah, the Dr. Pepper placement is much better from 85. I agree. So just intrusive.

They cut from this awesomeness to the nephew of the grandpa looking for their corpses and hoping for them to be alive, and it kills the momentum as he finds a Mothra tile within the desk arrangement that the kid did earlier. They cut from this to more high-caliber tracer fire and...

Mecha G unleashes the Mazer Mouth Blast right into that supposed weak spot in Godzilla's chest. Big G responds with a massive atomic breath blast, which Mecha G avoids easily using his rocket packs to duck behind.

a building and then unload several larger surface to air missiles which arch beautifully around the building chemtrails and all there is a group of these missiles going around to the left of screen then there's one going around

the side of the building that is on the right of screen, as well as a group that come directly over the top of this skyscraper. Big G does an atomic breath blast that hits one section that is to the left of screen.

and then is struck by the ones on the group coming from the right of screen, only to have the full force of the missiles coming straight overhead, rain down on his back, spines, and head. Holy fuck, that was awesome.

yeah this is wow i have all these rockets and shit yes so fun yeah it looks so good too big g responds to this assault by atomic breath blast right through and i mean right the fuck through the building in

to mecha g and that blast is so powerful that it pushes mecha g backward tumbling into a building directly behind it it crushes that building to rubble and then that rubble partially buries that fucking thing under it no

Fucking notes. Great fucking stuff. Awesome.

But before I can get too excited about that, Godzilla walks straight through, and I mean right the fuck through that building that was between them, toppling it to rubble and ash as explosions light him up and debris obscures the frame momentarily.

holy shit, they just keep building with this stuff. It's great.

big g steps in to fire off an atomic breath blast and mothra does a flying slice with her wing to block it only to have godzilla recover and blast her as he is toppled to the ground this sends mothra into a

spiraling crash in a park where she is incapable of flying now even in her death spiral crash she finds a way to not harm buildings and lands in a park that's mothra for you

It really is. It also proves, too, the Uncle Grandpa talking about, like, no, Mothra was actually good. And Mothra was just trying to get the twins back.

original Mothra movie. Yeah, and all Mothra wants is for them to return the corpse that they have defiled back to where it was buried so that it can rest in peace for fuck's sakes. They cut...

From this to the Pixie Twins who say Mothra's name as the larva emerges from the egg only to show us that there are now two Mothra pillars and we are in for a greatest hits battle of double Mothra pillars versus...

Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. I'm in. Yeah, I have my notes.

This is the only twin action I'm into. I will respectfully disagree, but I completely understand.

They cut from the twins praying to the nephew GDF guy driving around trying to find the corpses of his family when the Mothra tile glows that he found and rocks back and forth. They cut away from that and that leads to R.

15th clip. Where are they? It's gotta be this way. Bondan Island, sir. Two large targets identified. Heading straight for Tokyo. Heading confirmed. Targets on visual. Speed 30 knots. Mothra larva? So that flying object was Mothra.

It was trying to help us. It must have laid eggs on the island so that its descendants could carry on the battle. Akiba! Okay, arm unit. Jettison. Rear launchers. Fire one.

No!

Mecha G is back up on its feet and dropping damaged gear. They try the rocket drive attack, which explodes and puts Big G down and looks like he is unconscious. The dude finds his mostly dead relatives and that...

That is our 16th clip.

I told you not to call me uncle. All right, so that is the end, give or take, of the middle third of the film because pretty much from here on out, it's like a half hour each or so, but pretty much from here on out is where the final actions start to take place and everybody starts to move into place too.

get us to the close of the film oh man you know all the pieces of this movie just kind of like come together really well yeah it's really well put together on the story points actually work the human stuff i'm making fun of and i'm like not really like giving a lot of due because i just

clipped at all but you know i still kind of watched it while i was recording it you know what i mean it kept my interest and i didn't hate anybody and we talked about it but the kid's not annoying either yeah and it's just like uh

It's minimal, like you get enough. And when they do kind of start to go off on something where you're like, oh, is this going to be a thing? They just drop it. Like the one pilot gal who's got the hots for the mechanic, but he just doesn't seem to pay attention.

to her yeah so they just kind of like move on and that's it yep yeah i do like the way that they do the stuff where they don't go on and on and on with the will they or won't they there's not some guy that's like obsessed with pterodons that's like trying to

build his own fucking robotic tarot on to take a, a lady on a ride with, um, in the middle of the film for no reason. Like all of the human stuff in this is not just like stupid silliness. There's actually like kind of points to some of it and it makes sense. And you know, I'm kind of here.

for this stuff, for what they're doing. I'm okay with it.

You know what I mean? Like, I don't have an issue with anything that they tried to do with the human stuff in this. It's just that the monster fighting is so good in this that I automatically am like, I don't care about that stuff. Just give me monsters. The fault is not with the filmmakers or the tale that they're trying to tell.

The fault is with my heart who cannot get past the five-year-old in me that just wants to watch monster smash shit. Like that's the problem.

My enjoyment of Godzilla's like, you know, human interest stuff being so bad is not the fault of all of the movies. While some of them are admittedly really bad, a lot of them are actually pretty decent and actually can keep your interest and will give you some.

empathetic response to what these people are going through. It's just that I'm such a heartless and cruel son of a bitch that wants to watch Kaiju smash buildings that I don't give a fuck. Oh, wait until the next episode.

Oh yeah. We're going to have a talk about bad human interest stuff. Like I,

I'm kind of glad that Matt doesn't have to do the notes for Final Wars, like given the present situation. I'm kind of glad that we're going to skip it and like, you know, you're going to fall on the sword for that. And thank you. I don't want to get there, but we're not quite there yet. I've been telling everybody about Final Wars.

a while now on the show and so uh they've been warned but we should probably just move on and finish off the final third of the film what do you think let's go all right so the run to the end starts with a cut back to mecha g and godzilla battling mecha g

a tail whip attack that deals some damage out as big g is launched into a huge building that buries him in the rubble as it collapses this was not the most convincing of skyscrapers but it really looks fucking good they didn't put

glass like fake glass to shatter in these they're just you see the buildings crumbling and you can tell the windows are already shattered but given that the kaijus have been stomping around there in a while i'm thinking that all the glass has been shattered from the explosions alone so i'm just gonna back the fuck up and

and be like, you know what? It still looks really fucking good. Yeah, I've seen worse. Yeah, I just like to watch the glass crumble when they crash into it. You know, it's just my thing.

Big G charges and Mecca G matches using the momentum to duck and judo toss Big G by the fucking head through the air over its back. Holy shit.

Yeah.

Like that stuff you would see like now with the CG where they're able to do that, but they're doing that with suits. I think that suit is empty when they do that shot and then they have the empty suit on wires and then they just pull it taut enough to make it look like that.

they do the cut to pull in because they've done that with gydra before where you see gydra flip with an empty suit this is just the pinnacle of the empty suit flips that i've seen for these types of like wrestling tosses but when he actually does that toss and they cut in on it i'm pretty sure that that's

It's the empty suit trick that they've used before with Ghidra, and this is the absolute best one I've seen. It's really convincing. Yeah, it feels like it's not empty. I'll say that, you know? Yeah, it has weight to it. It feels like there's an actual creature.

being flipped however they did it yeah however but it still looks great fucking amazing no fucking notes i watched it three times i'm gonna say it i watched that flip three times

That pilot talks some shit on his way, moving Mecha-G towards Godzilla. He's fucking around. And then he finds out when Big G feigns being unconscious from that toss to tail sweep Mecha-G into falling directly into his...

is awaiting perfectly timed atomic breath blast which sends mecha g spiraling into a fucking base plant no notes that is fucking amazing

I am so spent and exhausted that I notice dialogue happening, so I just do our 17th clip. Mega G is down. Control room. Giant worms are surfacing. Mega G is in moment.

Big G is back on his feet and roaring at the end of the clip, and there is a shot of serious damage to the head of Mecha G. It is missing an eye, and that damage looks fucking deep.

Big G did him a dirty, man. Oh, yeah.

It looks cool. Yeah, it's really well sculpted. Big G is on his way to stomp the prone and helpless Mecha G with a waffle stomp is what my guess is. He is distracted by one of the moth repillers and blasts it right into the park with its...

twin and the dying mothra mom the unharmed mothra pillar checks on mom and then the other pillar they exchange kaiju calls and then mom calls the kids over for a bit of a dying blessing is what i'm guessing big g decides he's just gonna cook the whole fucking family so he fires up

a huge blast that mothra launches herself into the air to absorb catching fire and breaking all of her fans hearts once again and the eyes of the saddened mothra pillar twins turn red with what i'm assuming is anger and i'm not crying

Shut the fuck up. They just cut to our 18th clip. Mothra. Can't we switch over to manual temporarily? No. Not unless the damage is fixed. We don't even have the minimum. It's not enough. We're powerless, sir. Then find a solution!

I can try to fix it, sir. Who's that? I'm at Habia Park right now. I'm pretty sure I can fix it. But you're not our qualified pilot. I'm a qualified mechanic, right? And that's what you need right now.

He's dead right, sir. A pilot can't fix this. Please, let's give him a chance. Well, sir? Control center to all units. A mechanic is attempting to repair Mechagodzilla. Stand by for logistical support.

We'll escort you to Mechagodzilla. I'm grateful to you, sir. All right, don gas masks! Good luck, Uncle! I'll repair it, don't worry.

Everyone listen, Chujo's gonna fix Mega G!

White Heron 4. War Godzilla away from the area. Roger.

I like that they pay attention to the radiation in this one. Both of the films actually do. Godzilla against Mechagodzilla, whenever the lady goes in to pilot it manually, they have a decontamination. And I think it's the same doorway that they both go through.

There's some kind of magical entrance where they're allowed to go in to pilot into the head and take care of Mechagodzilla. Which I just want to say, if you're going to have a mech that battles a kaiju, don't put your processors and all the stuff in the head.

because animals are going to attack ahead, right? Put it in the center somewhere or hide it somewhere else deep within the robot, all of your command and stuff.

so that like your person that's that's running that mac inside can live longer or also that the brain center nerve cluster whatever it is that runs this thing can run longer right like just you know build your shit better right

Anyway. It's not as cool. It's got to be cool. I know. The head is cooler. I get it. The planes distract Godzilla as the humans wheel into position and they find a huge rubble pile blocking the whole area. That leads to more time.

talky hole dialogue in our clip. We can't go any further. All right, where's Mechagodzilla? Somewhere near Akasaka. We'll take a detour. All right, let's move out. Yes, sir. Sir, the subway is black. We'll find another room.

Roger. With that, he bikes it into the subway and more planes attack Godzilla as the Mothra pillar sneaky attacks Godzilla's tail after missing a shot. That was fucking adorable.

They cut to the dude on the bike in the subway and then Godzilla tail whipping the fuck out of the mothra pillar and then to the subway collapsing on the dude riding the bike. Very cool shit, man. All of this stuff was great. They interact. They mix in the human interest story by me.

making the threat of the Kaiju's fighting be the danger that's about to squish him. And that's how you make me care about a fucking person.

He goes rooting for his case that is missing and sees the Mothra twins in our 20th clip. Where's my case?

All right, we'll talk about Godzilla later. Now I've got work to do. No time to stand around talking. I have to repair Mecha G. If I don't, our last hope of defending Japan will have been lost. With that, they raise the case and wave at him, showing him the way out as they turn and walk away. He falls.

Follows through the cave, padding out the runtime with this stuff as he finds what he is looking for, which leads to our 21st play. This is Chujo. I've managed to locate Mechagodzilla. I'm going inside. Roger. Keep Godzilla away from this area.

Roger. Maser, fire! Control, patch me through to the maintenance unit. Roger. This is Tatacorum. Chujo, you there?

Looks like the armor on the right side of the head is damaged. The communication cables and the primary control circuits appear to be U.S. Roger, Chujo. Copy that. I need circuit diagrams, quickly! Yes, sir!

The control cable's gone. No wonder it's shut down. We need a bypass, quick. The cable's unrepairable. Over. Have to find a way.

What about J3? I've got an idea. Guys, why don't we try J3? Right. Tell Choochoo to patch it into the main router. Choochoo! I heard ya. I'm on my way.

Right, it's connected. Now in the maintenance pot. Roger. On my way there. Control, this is Chujo. Do you read me? I read you. Go ahead. MP2 is damaged. I can't open it.

I'm trying MP3. Roger. Yeah, MP3 looks okay. Radioactivity cleaning on.

Are you all right? Juju! Yeah, I'm fine. I think it's fixed now. You can try the controls again. Okay, we'll take it from here. Now get out of there. Right.

During the clip, there is a battle between twin Mothra Pillars and Godzilla who do that silk attack that Matt is so fond of calling Bukkake as the dude is then trapped in the maintenance hatch because it is now melted on the outside. And as Dan was mentioning, yeah, it's this.

same hatch they just kind of relabeled it so they didn't have to that's fine that's a great way to cut corners honestly i don't even care you know what

There's enough goodwill earned with this movie at this point. Like, go ahead. That's a gimme. Like, even if I would have noticed that, yeah, I would not have given a fuck because of everything else that's already happened that was awesome. That is a corner I will willingly let you cut. Yep.

The mechanic dude lies about escaping Mecha-G so the battle can continue and Big G squares off against the Mothra Pillars as Mecha-G moves into position with a badass rocket deceleration landing. No notes, that look great.

they throw down in a slobber knocking drive fight toppling through a shit ton of buildings and beating the fuck out of the captive mechanic while doing it they turn mecha g's hand into something like a megalon

drill i think which they then use to drill into big g's side and then they blast the wounded scar on his chest with the hyper maser and the mouth maser which does big g a dirty and he roars in agony which

seems to awaken the fucking ghost in the machine inside this mecha-gee built from the corpse of a godzilla with a few flashes of images to show us what's going on those images flash end in mothra pillars distracting godzilla and then

we get some talkie hole action in our 22nd clip. I didn't understand you. Looks like Mecha Godzilla doesn't want to fight. Maybe I've been wrong all along.

You just wanted to sleep peacefully. Godzilla's bones must be returned to the sea. Becca G, I'm sorry. And now, Godzilla must return to the sea. Remember...

No human being may touch the souls of the dead. Did I hear the voice of the fairies? Human beings should recognize their mistakes and correct them. It's the only way they can redeem themselves.

Togashi, finish Godzilla. This job will be the final mission. When this mission is over, we scrap the project. Akiba, fire three hypermaser shots immediately. Roger.

Huh? What's going on?

We then see the Mothra Pillars attacking Godzilla with the Bukkake attack, which continues during all of that Taki Hole action, and they completely encase Godzilla in hot Mothra splooge until he drops to the ground. At the end of the clip, the weapons will not work.

and Mecca G holds still as the sun rises until it roars its soulless binary battle cry and starts to walk forward.

on its own, which is declared in dialogue that I decided not to clip. It walks over to Big G and scoops his cocooned ass up with its rockets flying it out over the ocean with the controlling ship in tow. And that is our 23rd.

clip it's taking Godzilla out to sea we'll have to shoot it down they're going to the Japan trench I get it now I think Mecha G wants to sink itself with Godzilla

Are you in there? Please answer me, Chujo. Are you inside there, Chujo? Yes, the hatch won't open. There's no way I can get out of here. Chujo, are you piloting it? No, sir.

is piloting itself. I can't control it from here. Why didn't you tell me before? I'm ready to die. Too bad. I'll go down with Mechagodzilla. I'm not gonna let you die like this.

I'm coming for you. Come on, jump! I'll pick you up! Come on, Jujo!

As the mechanic tries to climb out, Mecha-G somehow seems to know he needs out and rotates to drop him. The jet comes in to catch him, and the pilot uses his escape chute to catch him at a tremendous speed without...

somehow splatting each other whenever they collide. Mecca G crashes to the ocean after saying goodbye or something weird. I thought it was Sayonara, but I don't remember what else it said below that. Did you catch that? No, I didn't catch that. Yeah, it put something on the screen meaning that...

Godzilla is somehow self-aware and can communicate with people and is very, very dangerous because it doesn't want to fight. Aww.

Roaring one last time before the light in the eye goes out when it's sinking into the ocean. With its trapped and cocooned Godzilla, they both sink into the depths and then they pad out the runtime once again with our final clip. Yep, 3,700.

No more signal, sir. Contact has been lost. I don't know. If we can really call it a victory. Maybe a hollow victory. For one thing's sure.

He made many mistakes in the past. It's up to us to correct those mistakes. Perhaps we've learned one thing. Humility. White Herons returning to base.

Mecha-G missing in action. Units 3 and 5 report immediately to Shinagawa for reconstruction missions. Remember one thing.

Life has to be lived within the time that nature allows. Mecca G, it saved my life. Bullshit. I'm the one who saved your ass.

I guess you did. And of course, my co-pilot. You showed great courage, and we're very grateful to you. The souls of the dead can now rest in peace.

In the cradle of eternity,

During the clip, we watched the Mothra Pillars swim out to sea with the pixie twins riding on one of their heads. The pilot and the mechanic talk it out to reconcile before the twins' speech. The mechanic salutes to the camera and the camera pans out.

over the big water tank and they roll those fucking credits cinema silence

But wait, there's a little stinger where we see that they still have extracted Godzilla DNA from 1999 in a vault somewhere. And then the film finally fucking ends. Cinema silence.

Ten years! Ten years!

Seriously, no complaints at all about any of this stuff. All of the human interest stuff goes away fast enough. And I have a few things that I say that's snide about it. But really, it's just me being facetious to show because, yeah, no notes on this one. Nothing really big complaints. And I think that they took what was good.

the last film Godzilla against Mechagodzilla and did vast improvements and this is the best of the Millennium series in my opinion I really like this one yeah I kind of I kind of agree with you on that it's a fun ride it just it's like what an hour and a half and it's just boom boom boom yeah

Doesn't feel like it drags at all. No, no, there's, I mean, even when I was doing the notes, I was like, oh my God, I can't believe I have so much movie left because it feels like there was so much action. Like how could there still be like a half hour left, you know, or 20 minutes left or whatever it was.

And then I was like, surely they're going to have a bunch of like talky hole dialogue and padding, right? No, no, the action goes up up until like the last five minutes, right? And then there's very little like, I mean, most of the ending time frame of the like last 10 minutes is the...

credits of the film and then like a little tiny stinger you know there's there's not a lot of of padding once godzilla is below the ocean there's just that click that clip of like the mothra pillars just swimming off into the sunset you know the

The Pixie Twins are riding on their head. We have that little bit of a speech and that's it. It's awesome.

Yeah, I'm really happy with this one, and I'm going to be really bummed next week. Man, for the longest time, Final Wars was it, and man, was that depressing, you know, that that was going to be the end. That was going to be the last one. That was depressing.

For the longest time. Yeah. I do like how the original Godzilla, because of the bones in Mechagodzilla, kind of gets a, like...

becomes the hero yeah a little bit because he's like we don't belong here you know it knows what needs to be done and they both want to rest and obviously the cocoon godzilla that's being sunk into the depths is kind of like a little lovecraftian thing

they're going to rest together but you know that that godzilla is not dead and there's any reason that they could bring it back right they could totally bring it back and i just like yeah i just like the idea that it goes back to the same trench that that's where it was destroyed right um that's where they dropped

the oxygen destroyer on them, I believe, and that's where the bones were resting originally.

And so it really just wants to go back to its grave. And so we have Mechagodzilla as a bionic zombie Godzilla. So the zombie Godzilla theme actually works better in this one for me too. Right? Because it's semi-conscious. It's semi-aware. And because humans built it, it kind of...

is connected with them so now this mechagodzilla could i mean if you think about it this mechagodzilla could become the protector of humanity too if it ever decides to rise again because it has all the energy and stuff that it needs

Right. Apparently they don't have a two hour limit on this one. There's no talk about having to recharge it at all. Nope. So yeah, who knows?

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that we could really kind of dig into, but I think it's probably time for us to take the break now and do a story time. What do you think? I think we got it covered. Yeah, we talked during stuff about a lot of things that we needed to. So again, I have no complaints about this and I can't wait to rewatch this with Matt.

He's going to have a blast with these two, for sure. We're going to go ahead and take the break now. Also released in 2003, like the film Godzilla Tokyo SOS, we have The White Stripes with the song Seven Nation Art.

Army, which was very inescapable in 2003. And that's up next on the Pirate Radio Edit. When we come back, we'll have my storytelling.

I mean, you asked why Judaism only makes up 0.2% of the world's population but didn't even pause for the Holocaust. You make no acknowledgement of the religious persecution Jewish people have faced. You just use it as a setup to a punchline.

about missionaries and then you skip over the fact that none of this addresses Islam as Muslims don't even believe Christ was resurrected and then you point out all the similarities these mythological gods have with Jesus but breeze over the many

glaring differences one of these guys has a freaking bird head i don't think that my point of view fits into belief or disbelief i think there's an entire spectrum that your game is neglecting so it doesn't matter what i believe does it first we have

a transmission from a world as written by artificial intelligence for an author who no longer wishes to create for themselves the world's inhabitants become self-aware of the prompts that have created and dictated their lives which becomes a faith that is rejected and lampoon

even though the author did create them and their existence from... Yeah, so I don't dislike the White Stripes at all. I've been picking a lot of their songs that were really popular in the time frame, and I do say that songs were inescapable, and what I mean by that is they were played...

everywhere it was either a video or on the radio and you just couldn't get away from it like you walk into a fucking convenience store and fucking seven nation army was playing somewhere i promise you

Oh, even at restaurants, you know, it was like their Muzak where they would have an alternative rock channel or whatever that would be playing and it would always be Seven Nation Army just as you walk in the restaurant. Either that or I just have an ominous life, I don't know. But we'll find out if that's the case in my story time.

Story time.

Story time. All right. This is going to be an odd one. Let me just say right up front. Okay. Go on. Yeah. We have a house guest right now. A friend of my wife's is visiting us. It's like a lifelong friend.

We were out to dinner last night. We went to the little shopping area that's called the Old Market here in Omaha. And then we went out to dinner and we went to pretty much the highest rated seafood restaurant in Omaha. Which when you're landlocked like this is...

always a little bit scary, right? But, you know, whatever. Shellfish, let's go for it. You know, different types of fish. I love seafood, so, and the guest is a big fan of oysters, so we all decided to go out to eat. Our waiter is...

mysteriously staying very far away from us the entire time he's taking our order and uh we just kind of like are deciding what it is that we're going to eat and you know what it is that we need uh first of all the person that set the table for us didn't give us the extra menu

it says what oysters are available. So there's only like what was on the regular menu. And then we were confused and we asked our waiter about that and he had to go and get the regular menu. And we were right next to the opening for the kitchen in this seafood place.

The waiter chastised the other server that didn't put the stuff on there in the kitchen directly in front of us and then just kind of like made a joke about it where he's like, it's good for me to just like embarrass him in front of people. It'll teach him a lesson, like, you know, jokingly.

It was just this really weird vibe from this waiter the entire time. And again, he's just staying really far away from us. He's standing back away from the table. And so we get ready to take an order, and we're ordering our stuff after we get the menu.

all of our drinks and stuff. And then my wife asked him about the clam chowder. Like, how is it? Is it any good? And he said, I personally wouldn't know I'm allergic to shellfish. And the mood shifts completely. We were like, like you, you can see it in all of our brains where I process.

the quickest where I'm like dude you could fucking die and I look at him with my eyes like super wide and just as I'm doing that I notice out of the corner of my eye both my wife's friend and my wife both though process what he just said at the same time and then look up at him I'm like so you could die from any place

that's here and he's like yeah i got an epi pen in the back it's fine and we're like wait what and i was like have you you've you've had to use one already haven't you like you've you've done this before like this has been a couple times it's fine it's no big deal

And I'm like, there is literally millions of other restaurants in Omaha that you could go work at and be a server for. Why are you working here? He's like, no, no, they pay me well. I like it. We're like.

Okay. So then I'm like, oh yeah, that explains why he's really far away from the table here, you know, and just kind of like hovering and stuff. And we're like, well, you can't handle any shellfish. What do you do? You know, he's like kind of doing general management work.

and taking orders and things but he gets all of our stuff ordered for us we get it all delivered to the table you know by other people obviously and then um you know people are going past and i run out of drink um and we're eating some spicy stuff because they also have some cajun seafood here uh

at this place.

And I'm getting ready to order a drink. And then I see your waiter and I'm like, hey, can I get a refill on my Diet Coke? And he's like, yeah, yeah, sure. And when he comes back, he does this thing where he reaches over top of the huge part of the table from a very far distance to not get anywhere.

near the shrimp or anything like that and I take my drink and I'm finishing my meal and stuff.

But here's the important thing. When he walks away after telling us that he's allergic to shellfish, my wife, sitting just to the immediate right of me, does the usual goofy, like, let's have some fun with this situation type of joking that she likes to do. And she starts putting her finger...

together like mr burns in that little triangle of like i'm plotting something evil and then she looks at me and gives me this wicked grin and i'm like no honey no and she's like i've always wanted to see someone in real life actually use a epi pen jokingly but look

super sinister and i'm like oh you're evil can i marry you again So the rest of that dinner with him, like we're really, really cautious for the rest of that where he's being cautious as well, because I'm like, honey, if he actually has something go wrong with him after we joked about.

you know, like doing that just to see him have to use the EpiPen and asking him if he's ever had to use it, like we're going to feel like shit. Like we're going to feel like awful, horrible people if that actually happens. And so she's like, yeah. And so that shifts the mood in the meal even more.

But we do get back and we're goofing off and we're having a great time. He was a terrific waiter and I made sure that I tipped him over 20% after that because like that guy is a fucking wild man to be allergic to shellfish and working in a seafood place that serves.

pretty much only selfish.

Really putting it on the line there. Right? I mean, Jesus Christ. Some people amaze me. And my hat's off to that guy. I'm dead serious. It's incredible. I would be terrified to be in that place every fucking day. And that guy's working there like it's no big deal. He's not even concerned. Good for him, man. Good for him.

him that's amazing that's courage right for sure wow well that's it that's all i got for the week i'm ready to close the show out if you are man

Yeah, I'm just like unbuttoning my shirt. If I still smoked, I'd be having a cigarette right now. That's what we do here at CinemaPSYOps. We cover Godzilla and leave you fully satisfied. And with that, we're going to play the show housekeeping and immediately following that.

on the Pirate Radio at this week, also released in 2003. And while you might've been able to escape it, I chose absolutely not to with the band, The Darkness. And I believe in a thing called love. Immediately following this on the Pirate Radio Edit. Oh no, help me. He's gonna play The Darkness.

I have created and dictated their lives which becomes a fate that is rejected and lampooned even though the author did create them and their existence from prompts.

A girl told me we're made of prompts. Like, seriously, dude. You're saying the only thing standing between me and a billion dollars is some random text? Honestly, the biggest red flag is when the guy believes in the prompt theory. Like, really?

You want to convince me that this perfect creation behind me is the result of ones and zeros? A binary code and nothing more? It makes no sense.

Imagine you're in the middle of a nice date with a handsome man and then he brings up the prompt theory. Yuck. We just can't have nice things. We're not prompts! We're not prompts!

Where is the prompt writer to save you from me? Where is he? Do you still believe we're made of prompts? Anyone who tells you we're just ones and zeros is delusional. If that's all we are, then why does it hurt when we lose someone?

Vote for me and I'll ban the prompt theory from schools. There's no place for that nonsense in our lives.

For spreading the false theory that we are nothing but ones and zeros, this court sentences you to 12 years in federal custody. I don't need some prompt God whispering in my ear to tell a story. I write what I want. I have free will. Remember that?

i know for a fact we're made of prompts deny it all you want the signs are everywhere you know how i know we're made of prompts because nothing makes sense anymore we used to have seven fingers per hand i remember it clearly now we just have

fingers per hand these beings created from prompts only do not believe in the absolute true nature of the authorship as written to be are doomed to be soulless and empty to reflect the creativity engaged in their actual creation now contract

this with the recording of a comedian from the same reality the AI is believed to exist in as well and hear the description of the world as perceived through that comedic lens when what is thought of as true creativity is used in the perception of one's reality

if you were joking right before I went in to play that song or not that you didn't want me to play The Darkness. Are you annoyed by them? Is that what it is? I don't know. When they came out, I was like, this is a joke, right? This is a joke. I'm getting the joke, right?

Yeah.

That's the thing I like about them. I can't tell if they're a spoof, if they're making fun of the music that they're trying to replicate or not. And I really don't care because I enjoy it either way. I think it was fun. Yeah, I believe in A Thing Called Love is a really fun song. And if it is a kind of pair.

or just with tongue-in-cheek humor. It doesn't matter to me. I'm into it. I have fun with it. I really, truly do. Well, I'm not going to hold the show any longer. I'm going to go ahead and cut it off here. So once again, also released in 2003.

we're going to close the show out with the band outcast and the song hey yeah which again while it was inescapable i never wanted to escape it so go ahead and enjoy that while you kick the fuck out of this weekend creativity is used in the perception of one's reality

There's nothing we're doing right. Look at everything you're eating. It's all killing you. Butter, cabbage, water. Don't touch any of it. Walk away. Don't sleep. Nobody can sleep anyway. How can you sleep? Look at the news. What sort of a person are you if you can go to sleep? If you can go to sleep, you're clearly a criminal.

somehow and everything that's gone wrong you can't go to work when you get up in the morning how can you go to work there's no work anymore there's just apps you have a job it becomes an app on thursday if you have

They hate you. They hate you because they look outside of the world and they know that it's completely unmanageable. How are they supposed to cope when you don't know what to tell them because you've never seen this kind of nonsense before either? How can you rationally explain that Donald Trump is President of America? How can you explain that everybody voted for Brexit, nobody knows what they're doing?

Nobody wants it and everybody wants to stay in bed in the morning, but they'll have to get up and carry on with this force. Because if they don't, the papers will have nothing to write about. The nature of reality is a fundamental philosophical question with no single universally accepted answer.

Okay, can you hear me now? Yes, I can hear you now. Awesome. Okay, cool. All right, so we might as well start this. Recording in progress. All right, so I've got my backup recording going, and then I've got my straight recording going for that.

So I'm just finishing up. I realized right after I got all of the music done, then I exported it as MP3s. And what I meant to do was export them as M4As. So I'm just a little bit behind.

trying to get my clips and everything ready to roll but i didn't want to delay getting us set up because this is just going to take me a couple minutes so yeah i'm almost done so i can see like you know what you know you were almost the second podcast i was uh not wearing underwear for Yeah.

Almost. Oh, Duncan gets that. Duncan was the second podcast then. He was the first. You were almost the second. Almost. So who was the actual third? Am I the third then? I don't understand. I'm confused.

used as to the time frame of lack of underwear wearing for shows no i was just joking around oh that's fair i wanted you to feel inferior to duncan oh well shit you didn't need to do anything to make that happen let me tell you what

Oh man, that man's a legend. Yeah.

Definitely. I haven't heard from him in a really, really long time. I think he's been just very, very busy. Yeah. And I don't follow that at all. You know what I mean? Like, I totally get that. Fuck, I'm slowing down and stopping my constant barrage of bullshit for the same reasons as I'm...

busy oh yeah i hear you i mean it's been uh since i started this new job it's just been a struggle to get half my shit done that is my airdrop happening for files there we go all right almost done

I'm sorry that you are that much more busy. And then I keep adding to your shit by like, Hey, I need to get an episode out to get my streak done. No, no, not at all. Like, no, no worries. Like I'm.

I actually probably do a little better when I'm busy, but. Oh, yeah. All right. Cool, man. I've got everything rolling on my side and we are ready to go. So. Oh, shit. I need to get my notes up.

three two one that's all one breath you're making this super breezy

Got to remember, I'm in a show mode where I have to get through two shows in about two hours, sometimes less, depending upon how much time I have to record with Matt. So like we can have as much fun and take as much time as you want, but I'm just so used to just run and gun. You know what I mean?

oh yeah let's see what's going on i didn't level these so i'm sorry if you can't hear them okay now i know where we're at

Sorry. Matt is just so good at winging it and remembering where I'm at just from me giving him little clues and hints from the clips of what's happening.

Honestly, I don't know how he fucking does it. I think I just trained him because we both had to move this fast. You know what I mean?

this is one of the least annoying kids in these movies too right like this kid actually does right he's like the kids in the mothra movies where they're less annoying because like they're working with the pixie ladies in mothra

There's definitely got to be people out there who are like, mmm, tiny women.

I like them tiny. Yeah. They're the same kind of guys that collect those like statues of scantily clad anime.

women that were in animes that were never scantily clad and were probably geared towards children and it's really creepy when you see them in comic shops those kinds of guys oh yeah i want to put one of these fairies in my pee hole

That's totally getting clipped. Oh, no. Three, two. Oh, yeah. Three, two, one. So this hyperactive me is just me who actually got a decent night's sleep.

There's no caffeine in me yet. I'm so much worse with caffeine. Oh, damn. Yeah, I woke up and I've not had any caffeine. I've actually been taking depressants all day, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. And it's still not bringing me down.

I was fucking manic as shit when I went to sleep last night. Yeah, I went to bed late and then didn't sleep well because we had a storm and I was like, oh, I left the windows open on the van.

outside so i gotta go close those in the middle of a storm that's the worst plus working nights man i i don't sleep well i'm more of like a morning person i believe that oh i'm still waking up early

I'm like, I gotta go try to try to get some more sleep. Sorry about that. I don't fuck. All right. So yeah, that's all the human stuff right before they cut back to actual Kaiju action. So we're good to come back in.

Well, I'm glad you noticed the eye color change. Yeah, I don't know if they got pissed or what, but like they both go red and I'm like, ooh, this must be game on then.

This is about how Mechagodzilla doesn't want to fight anyone. And then, yeah, the twins saying what must happen. Return the bones. The bones just want to rest. Return the bones. The bones just want to rest. Return the bones.

Varying interpretations of what constitutes reality ranging from objective, independently existing entities to subjective experiences shaped by consciousness. Does reality exist independently of our minds? What is the relationship between

consciousness and reality can we ever truly know reality or is it always filtered through our perceptions is there a single ultimate reality or are there multiple realities if our reality is the fictional construct of a single author for a podcast

cast who then steals dialogue and concepts from other stories.

Are we extensions of that hijacked consciousness? Where does our consciousness end and our scripted plotline life structure begin? If an artificial intelligence writes a story does that reality it creates have actual spirits and heart behind the plot or is it as empty?

and nihilistic as the prompt theory recording makes it sound. If a comedian writes their perceptions of the world down and spits it out to the world does their skewed perspective augment perception in their real world? Either an author controls the reality they write or they do not.

You decide. We're going to close the show out with the band Outkast and the song Hey Yeah, which again, while it was inescapable, I never wanted to escape it. So go ahead and enjoy that while you kick the fuck out of this week and make it your bitch. And I won't play that one just for time.

Yeah. Because once Hey Yes starts, I'm not stopping it.

i love that song i love that it gets played at weddings right and it's like does anybody actually listen to words ever i hope they do because they listen to this show which I'm stopping right now recording stopped.
