Cinema PSYOPS

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...

The audio collapsed in on itself, rendering all of their civilization, including technology, null and void. Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on cinema psyops.

Ten years, man! Ten! Ten years. I can't stop thinking about... Ladies and gentlemen, the images and events contained within the motion picture series are shocking, violent, and often nauseated.

serious consideration and introspection should be given before viewing such offensive and degrading garbage

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!

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.

What 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. The events of each week 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 paraphilia issues. You can make your own choice.

Let us once again make clear that which most do not... as explicit not because it offers a mature look into the world of topics not meant for the young or immature but because it mucks about in very appalling gormous and tasteless filth whilst reveling in it

Psyops aims to drag you down into the very same muck filled with sexual devious and decayed morality.

Cheers!

Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on cinema silence. It's man returning to the most primal violent state as people fight.

over the tiny resources that remain. What if the world we live in is just a dream or a simulation? Whether it's a dream or some advanced computer game you are playing right now, when it ends, you would be what causes the end of the world. Please.

do us all a favor, continue dreaming or playing this game of life. Because when you wake up or unplug, there's a chance the rest of us will be blinked out of existence.

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

And welcome to the 520th consecutive week of Cinema PsyOps. This episode represents the last one of these fucks trying to get out consecutively. And joining me in the joy of that is my co-host, Matt.

it's like that 70s show the last season with like you know when Topher Grace left and they had brought in some other guy to like you know replace him and then that guy left so Topher Grace come back for the last episode that's kind of what I'm fucking doing I was gone for

month and now i'm back last episode you were gone for nearly two months it was six weeks of episodes man yeah yeah that's insane yeah i'm well fucking aware yeah i'm sure that you are very much aware

of the pain and agony that you were going through for those two months i can only imagine jesus yeah i'm just glad to have you back for at least the end of the run that we can finish it off strong together because yes while you may not have been here for

six episodes, you've been here for the bulk of the 520. I can probably not even count on both hands the number of episodes that you weren't a part of for the 520 that we've done.

Like we started this shit together. Now, you know, it's only right. We ended together. Yeah. And it's not like it's completely over. It's just that we are no longer.

Yeah, it's just we're done doing it like this. We're going to release the episodes as we see fit. We're getting old, people. We're not getting younger. You know what I mean?

Yeah. And that kind of commitment, as we already talked about, I mean, the older you get, the less you're going to be able to make sure that you can constantly do a weekly streak. The way to end it is to basically choose to end it on your terms. And I'm just glad that we were able to do that.

Fate really tried to fuck us on this one, man. It really did. It was like, we don't want you finishing on your own terms, motherfucker. Yeah, they were like, how dare you say you're going to do 10 years and then stop for your streak? What are you, Roger?

dawn of the dead we can't let you make your own choices yeah no man thankfully we didn't say we had this by the ass you know because we didn't we knew that we did we did not have this by the ass yeah

Before the health crisis even struck your family, we were struggling to get this fucking done and get scheduled for things. Yeah. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah. There was all sorts of things coming up in both of our lives that we were struggling through. And then this last straw where I was just like, no, take.

a break. No, we're not doing this. I was like, I'll get guests. It'll be fine. I was like, if I have to do it on my own, I'm going to carry that for the next six to eight weeks until we get the streak done.

I was there. I was like picking up the torch and then like other people were like, no, come on, stupid. You don't have to go by yourself. Let's do this. And I got plenty of help from Darren and Dan, you know? Yeah. Thanks to those guys for filling in too. Yeah.

Yes, absolutely.

When we actually do the commentaries, this is something that I already brought up on the air, but I forgot to mention when we recorded for the last episode. I actually kind of want to invite them on for some of the Millennium series to like guest and we're going to do commentaries and record them. So I want to kind of do the thing where, you know.

don't have an electric car just come get you we record over here at my house like we used to with the guests on the line on you know zoom and do the commentaries straight up and then when we're done with the commentaries i either take you back to your house or i drop you off if you have to work right and word up i think that'd be

a blast you and i'll be in the room we'll be hanging out we can celebrate we're taking our victory lap on that for year 11 and then if we can get guests for these commentaries scheduled in the time that we're going to be recording them we absolutely will and that'll be even more of a blast but

We're going to take a break before we do that. It's going to be, there's going to be a little bit of a break. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. You're going to get more of a break than I will, because as I'm editing these and releasing them and the year's closing out, you'll be basically able to just sit back and relax.

until these are all put out, excluding some other various things we have to go in and probably pick up and record. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, something might happen. But other than that, you're going to have a nice break after this. Yeah, I'm just going to fucking get drunk.

And then I'll be editing and getting high until all of these are released. And then once we hit 520, then I get a break and we'll see how long that lasts. We will come back. It's just a matter of when.

Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. I know. I know. We'll be back. We just don't know when.

I know us. We'll be jonesing. I already want to get started on the thing that we said we were going to do, which is we're going to do the Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor team-ups when we come back. The commentaries are going to happen before that, so I know that we will go through those.

commentaries of all of the millennium run of Godzilla in order just to get to the Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor team-up movies. I know us. We'll do that. We'll just be like, okay, you want to get started on those so we can get to the fun stuff? Yeah.

Like that was going to be our reward for doing this end of year run like we've done. And now we're extending it just a little bit more because I guess we're gluttons for punishment, right? Yeah, I think so. We're definitely, we've always been glutton for punishment.

Nobody podcasts like we do. Nobody screams into a void like we do.

And it's become more and more of a void the longer we've done it over these 10 years. It's become more isolated and lonely out there. Oh, just looking into the goddamn, the abyss. And sometimes it's looking.

back and saying hey what are you up to and we're like not much yeah just screaming at you you know the usual the void's like yeah no i get it

Yeah, it's all good. People scream at me all the time. It's rough out here. I understand.

All right. Well, speaking of rough, emotionally speaking, Godzilla minus one is going to be a rough one for you. If you're a soft touch, like I've apparently turned out to be in my mid to late 40s.

Yeah, I weep a lot when I'm watching this movie and I don't know why because I know that I'm having emotion buttons pushed and I recognize that it's happening and yet I still can't stop it. I react to it. It's weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This movie makes me feel feels I don't want to talk about, but we're still.

going to have to talk about because I'm doing a review for Godzilla minus one. Why don't we take the break? You had a few fees. Gotten your fees. It's all right. Yeah, it made me feel things that I didn't want to feel for a Godzilla movie. Yeah. How dare you make me feel my own feelings.

Well, we're going to talk Godzilla minus one. First, we got to take the break. We'll play the Legion Patreon ad and then immediately following that. This week, I don't give a fuck about what was on the charts. I'm just picking songs that were released in 2023 that I like. So up first.

is going to be the Delta Bombers with the song Seventh Son, released on an album in 2023, as well as Godzilla Minus One on the Pirate Radio Edit. Immediately following this. Previously featured in the glimpse of a destroyed universe.

Cort wrote all of this just to get me to finish the Mad Max films on his show or get me hooked on podcasting again. You know what? If he just said, how about a reach around? It would have been a lot easier.

Currently happening in the glimpse of a destroyed universe.

He wouldn't be that pathetic or manipulative, would he? Let me ask you a question. You ever seen that episode of Futurama called Where No Fan Has Gone Before? Season 11, episode 4, April 21, 2002.

And now for something completely... different nothing total and utter nothing more nothing than i've ever seen before where the am i now i wanted to tell you a few things i never had the guts to before we reached the end of all things okay come down off the emperor's throne it's just the end of it

consecutive weekly run of a podcast for fuck's sake i miss the doomsday clock dude i miss you as a character you as a character have always represented to me the good in humanity and our need to keep on trucking through the worst of our fucking

Okay, one, you need to look for a better class of hero. Two, what's it like to live on planet of the apes? All jokes aside, you do know that I only exist because my creator was never brave enough to...

stand up and be himself in public, right? At best, I'm his Christian de Nouvellet. Read the book, kids. At worst, I'm a glorified action figure. But I get it. You two are like mates. My creator and yourself, I mean. Hero's a bit much there, but...

Let me say you are the hero I needed, not the one that I necessarily deserve. I think your creator sells himself too short, but I don't know his full struggle either. I will say this as for us being friends. We're as much as two people.

who live so far apart on the planet that any bit either of them move east or west starts them coming back around the other side again can be friends yeah we are he's a solid dude always a huge supporter and a great friend and yet i think i have

Never really said that to him. Until now. What? Well, he's me, right? Yeah. Okay, this has to be a bit awkward for you two, like, right now. Like, don't make eye contact. You know what I'm saying? Oh, fuck yeah. We both hate that I wrote this. Yes. Yeah, yeah. This is right up.

with, like, showering after Jim. Are you, like, okay? Or should I, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, should I call Matt? All right, hopefully that song got everybody sufficiently pumped up to be able to do the coverage for the movie.

Godzilla minus one. Because it's working for me. Yeah! I broke it up into thirds, so we've got 40 minutes between breaks. And the first third starts with the film opening on a plane in the middle of the ocean as it makes a rushed landing.

on a roughly cut out airstrip. They show the pilot landing his plane and losing his shit and gasping for breath. A title card tells us that this is 1945 Odo Island Airfield. And I shut off the subtitles so from here because it's also the...

language of the people speaking so you get the title cards and the people speaking and we're kind of on our own from here hopefully but luckily there's dialogue that also revealed a bunch of different stuff that we needed to learn and that is our first clip

There's nothing wrong with the engine. Roger. And no issues with the fuel line. Understood. Anton Shikishima, right? I was a mechanic at the Tsukuba Naval Air Corps, Tachibana.

We were there at the same time. Tachibana, oh, of course, yes. I owe you and your men. This runway of ours is chock full of holes, and you were still able to land safely. You haven't lost your touch since we last met.

Well, training for dog fights was simple. It's different than a real kamikaze. Yes, it is. Lucky you got this extra chance to rest, huh? It's strange. Your rig, we looked it over, and not a single one of us could pin down any issues.

What are you trying to say? I'm on your side. We need more people like you. I just don't see what the point is.

You know how this war is gonna end, so why die honorably now?

Is it a raid? I don't know. What do you mean? We can't see. It's too dark. Is it the Americans again?

With this, they shine a light on a not yet full-sized Big G who responds with an intimidation roar that we hear at the...

end of the clip, then charges forward and greaves the tower. The soldiers are surprisingly talkative for having this beast pop up in front of them, so I thought I should respect that dialogue by going back and recording it in our second.

What the hell is that thing? It's called Godzilla. What's Godzilla? One of the locals told me, when deep sea fish float like today, Godzilla is near. Godzilla? What's time for?

Take cover! Get the trench out!

What is it? I think you can reach your 20 millimeter gun You're the only one who knows how to shoot or just mechanics. It's gigantic

What if it doesn't work and it just makes it angrier? A 20 millimeter gun's enough to kill anything. Now go hurry. It's still heading this way. Hurry! Get out there! Yo!

With that, the pilot sneaks off into the cockpit, but is justifiably frozen in fear when the not-so-big-G is lurking around him. The men in the trench panic in fear, again, justifiably so, and open fire striking not-so-big-G in the face.

with several shots and really just kind of pissing him off. He roars and charges forward. And as the men flee the trench in fear, not so big G starts an onslaught of chomping and stomping these fuckers until he has chomp tossed.

tail swatted or straight up waffle stomp them all out of commission jesus that was gruesome and fast as he does the last man standing attempts to draw godzilla into the gunfire of the ship only to be chomped tossed away

Not so big G attacks the plane as the pilot cuts and runs in the nick of time to avoid the chomp toss and near death from the explosion of the plane crashing to the ground. The pilot is knocked out in the explosion as Godzilla does his

triumphant roar, and he wakes up to the pile of bodies and the other survivor of the island in our third place.

Hey! Hey! That's right, take a look! Everyone is dead! Because you didn't shoot!

God damn it! You! Hey!

At the end of the clip, our main character is handed what I assumed were like grief cards for each of the men's lives that he has held responsible for by that soul surviving mechanic. But what it turns out to be is like their personal effects, like photos of them with their families or photos of their families and things.

like that which is also a memento mori of the lives that he is responsible for in the eyes of that mechanic yeah the film cuts to december of 1945 in tokyo i know this because i backed it up to put the subtitles on just so i knew what the fuck was going on and then

They let us know. Yeah, and then we see our main character coming back to the ruins of his neighborhood in Tokyo to be recognized by a former neighbor in our fourth clip. Koichi? Is that you?

Oh, Sumiko. I thought you were dead. Weren't you a kamikaze pilot? You have the nerve to come back and show your face here?

You disgraced us all! Take a look around. Do you see what happened to us because of cowards like you? If you'd all done what you were supposed to do, I'd still have my kids.

Are my parents alive? Do you know if they made it out? Everyone's dead. During the air raids, there was fire covering this whole block. Your parents are dead, along with everyone.

Including my children who met the very same fate. Return to us alive. Isn't that what you wanted? Stop! Stop! Out of my way!

Take this! That's it!

What on earth? Hello again. Thank goodness. Where were you? Hey, it's your own fault. I couldn't just go out there. Too many looky-loos. So you've been here watching the whole time.

Yeah, and I was starting to get sick of waiting for you to move. Less than I. I bet you're hungry now, aren't you? I thought you'd just leave her there. Why didn't you? Hey! I couldn't leave a baby alone in the middle of a place like that.

Oh? Oh, really? Could you please stop following me? But we'll die on the street if you leave us out here alone. Why would I care? After you're done eating, would you please leave? Oh, you hear that?

He's so mean and scary, isn't he? Where's your husband, anyway? Did he fight in the war? What a question. Does it look like I have a husband? What? Whose kid is she? Does it matter? Of course it matters!

It was during one of the air raids. Her dying mother asked me to take her. So, are you saying you're not related to her? No, and so what?

Are you insane? You have no business trying to take care of a baby in the state you're in. You're wanting to talk? You couldn't leave her either. Hey. What's her name? And what do I call you? Noriko.

Why do you go around dressed like that? You look like you spend your days begging for money. Am I supposed to be a whore instead? That's not what I said, but we're all trying to survive. If you were, I wouldn't think any less of you. Any family? Your parents.

Yeah, they were killed in the air raids. So you're by yourself now as well. Huh? What? You can't stay here. Are you kidding me? Hey.

What's the story, huh? What story? Don't play dumb with me. That mother and child you took in last night. What, so now you think you're some kind of saint? I didn't even want them to stay. What difference does that make? You didn't kick them out.

It's too late to play the hero. I see right through you. Don't bother asking me for help. Wait. The girl. Do you know if she can breastfeed? No, she's the child.

She isn't the mother. What are you saying? There you go. If you keep feeding her like this, she'll die of malnutrition.

So you take in a child, but you have no idea how to care for it. What were you thinking? I'm not sure. This isn't for either of you. Adults can survive on anything. Use it to make rule for the baby. Oh, well.

There goes all of my prized white rice. Pains in the neck, those two. Damn it. Pouring out there. Soaked.

Did you find any work? Well, actually, I did find something, but... Well, that's good news. The money's not bad, either. Here, look. See what it says there?

There's an advance of 3,000 yen. That's great, isn't it? It can't be real, though. You remember that other job where all our rice got stolen? It's not like that. Things are different this time. How can you know that for sure, though?

Because this one's got the government backing it. And it pays us well for a good reason. What reason? During the war, both the U.S. and Imperial navies laid thousands of mines. They need us to clear them out.

They're offering so much money because in this work, it carries a certain kind of risk. Listen to what you're saying. You can't do this. You just survived a war. It's not exactly a choice.

We won't make it if something doesn't change. Akiko will starve to death. I understand that. I can't let you go. Look, this will bring in money. And with it, we can buy...

American powdered milk or anything else. If that means that I... I can't let that happen to you. Listen to me. Just because this is risky, it doesn't mean that I'll die.

This isn't like the war. It's not hopeless. Anyway, they said they use boats that are specially made to evade magnetic mines. This is it. This is specially made. Hey there!

Are you our new sharpshooter? Shikishima, yes. Ex-Navy, huh? I flew a fighter, actually. What the hell? What do we do with this guy? An airman. You saw action, didn't you? He's a military cast off. Not worth anything to us. Are you disappointed?

that we're using this old thing. Well, during the course of the war, the U.S. and Imperial navies laid nearly 60,000 mines of all sorts off the coast of Japan, but the ones that worry us are the American magnetic kind.

If a vessel made out of metal goes anywhere near one of those, a blast is triggered. Ah. Hence the wood. You catch on pretty quick. Most of what we can handle are the standard moored mines.

But with the magnetic ones, wooden boats are the best countermeasure. Node is the name. During the war, I worked for a while designing weapons for the Navy.

That's our captain, Akitsu, and that's Mizushima there. You can call this one Kid and he's Doc. I'm not very fond of that nickname, and you know that. And I'm way too old for Kid now, okay? Sure, but saying as you're the greenest one, you're still Kid. Yeah, I know. I didn't get to fight in a war like you. I was too...

Our minesweeper here is called the Shinsei Maru. That's the Kaishin Maru part there. The mines we're after are tethered to the seabed like balloons on strings. So we run a cable between our two boats with a cutter in the middle.

All we have to do is clip the tether and the mine floats to the surface. Then we hit it with this. Let me show you.

This one's a little bit squirrely. Don't you let me try? Think you can handle her? Here. Since we're walking like this, I'm trying to account for how the waves are also moving the target.

Nice one. I learned how to shoot down fighters, but I never saw real action, just simulations. What?

You never saw any real action? I guess Shikishima's just as green as me, huh? Hey, learn how to fly a plane like he can, then we can talk. If I'd fought in the war, I know I'd have been useful too. If only it had just kept on going.

Don't say anything like that ever again It was just a joke

Use your brain, kid. Okay, litmus test for whether or not Cort's going to clip it in a Godzilla film. Is there dialogue and or human action happening that does not feature Godzilla? If yes, then clip. If no, then clip.

Then don't clip. Then we talk about it. This is the way. Yeah, absolutely. They cut from the dudes working the ship and blowing up mines with a big-ass gun to our main character sleeping at night when he has woken up to the light of fire and looks...

outside to have a ptsd flashback of the godzilla attack and he wakes up with a startle to his roommate not the mama i didn't bother learning her name because he doesn't respect her either that's the mama

And she checks up on him in our fifth clip. You all right? Oh. Another nightmare? Nightmare? That's right. I was dreaming.

What if you hear that's the dream? I don't understand you. Are you sure? We're in Japan, right? Right? I made it back alive. I came back, right? Right? I made it back alive, right?

Right, I know. Yeah, I know. I know. Oh, boy. That's some more of that fee-feet stuff that we were talking about there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

After this, they cut to the Bikini Atoll test, and we see the atomic blast is burning the fuck out of the mini Big G, and we hear his roar as they then cut to a montage of the lives of our main characters getting better.

with time, including having built a better brand new house that closes out the montage with our sixth plan. You built a real nice place here. I say it was worth every penny saved.

Would you like some more? Yes, please. Thanks.

how about a photo huh oh no please don't waste your film on me look at that smile hold it hold it very nice and

Thank you. Watch out, Doug. Don't go falling for Noriko now. He's right. He shouldn't joke like that. Noriko's a married woman, after all. Everyone, please, that's enough. I'm not his voice. She's not?

Yeah, she just showed up one day. She had nowhere else to go, so I let her stay. And the little girl? She brought Akiko with her. But they're not related to each other, not really. She was an orphan that Noriko took in during the air raids. Oh, you all found each other.

What a lovely story. That's just sort of how it went. Akiko, I told you, you know I'm not your father. Oh, Shikishima. That's awful. How could you say that? What a hurtful thing to say.

Here's the thing. Fate has brought you together as a family. You need to find a way to accept that. That's right. And now I need a hug. That's enough. I don't want that. Why not?

Welcome home. I just got back myself. What are those clothes you have on? How do I look? I went to Ginza and found myself a job. Is this because I don't provide enough for you? It's not that. I just always wanted to be self-sufficient.

And you'll never find a wife if I'm always around. And besides, Ginza's come such a long way since the war. This feels so sudden. I don't really think it is. Akiko! What will Akiko do?

Who's going to be here to look after her while you go work in Ginza? We talked and Sumiko said she'd be happy to watch her. Oh. She seemed very excited. She said I've already raised three. Why not? I see. Well, all right then. Good. I'll go get Akiko.

Pacific Fleet destroyer USS Lancaster was attacked and disabled by a...

This call from Pacific Fleet Attack WSS Redfish reporting pursuit of massive undersea organism through Pacific waters.

After successfully photographing target, Refuge made contact and was destroyed. Red reconnaissance picked up radio eyes and open missions were all collided with enemy creature scared. The colossal sea creature is projected to reach the Japanese archipelago within a few weeks.

Its recorded movement suggests a course to the Kanto region specifically. General Douglas MacArthur commented on the developing situation, stating with regret that recent Soviet movements prevent any U.S. military assistance.

He instead calls on Japan to begin strengthening its own security forces in preparation for potential contact with the beast. What could do this? Some kind of whale?

Or giant shark? Shark or whale couldn't do that. No, this is something else. Maybe a new Soviet weapon? Does that look like weapon damage to you? Then what else could it be?

Well, my guess would be an enormous creature. Oh, come on your crazy theories aren't any better than ours I was skeptical until I got a closer look at this Godzilla

Look, starboard side. Huh? Huh? I saw deep sea fish floating just like this the day a monster attacked Odo Island. A monster? Like what?

It was like a dinosaur that over the years had turned into something else. I remember hearing that the locals called it Godzilla.

Godzilla? Come on. Don't be ridiculous. I bet you just saw a tank that you... You can believe me or not, it still doesn't change the fact that Godzilla wiped out everyone on Odo Island. Wait a minute.

I thought the Americans took out that garrison. The U.S. Island Hopping Forces never targeted Odo. At that point, it was only being used as a repair base for kamikaze planes. Wait, Shikishima.

Does that mean you were a kamikaze pilot? If this is the same Godzilla I saw back then, and it can do this, then it's even bigger than before.

Just hold on a second. Why are we here? I don't see how the four of us can do anything. I mean, how? They don't honestly expect us to fight that thing in this. They obviously do.

What? We don't stand a chance against that. A big US cruiser couldn't take it down. We're a couple of planks of wood. How are we going to do anything? We can distract it for a while. Are you joking? Singapore is sending us the takal from their docks.

Huh? Wait, isn't the heavy cruiser? Instead of scuttling it there, they're going to let us use it again. Well, then that's great!

But the cow is huge! So our orders are to do whatever it takes to stall for time until it gets here. That's an American destroyer. How come they can't deal with this? I wouldn't count on it. It's bad enough with the Soviets as it is.

The U.S. risks furthering those tensions if they do anything. For little things like this, they'd rather us handle it on our own. I wouldn't call this little. And plus, all we've got is a 13mm gun. Which is exactly why they said we should use a few mines we've recovered.

Ah-ha! That's why we're the ones that got called out here. Of course, they needed a team that could scavenge their own weapons locally.

They also ordered us not to tell anyone about the creature or what it is that we're doing. And there it is, their favorite, the gag order. This country never changes. I wonder if it can.

All right, it's my turn. Here. Thank you. Try not to push yourself too hard, Shiki-san. I know. I can't help it if this really is Godzilla. I know the feeling. When I think about the things that happened in the war...

I have a hard time sleeping. I have to avenge them, but then I remember how terrifying that thing was. We only have a pair of those, one of which is for an emergency. Oh, what's the matter?

Look at that. There's way more fish than there was back on Hodo. Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm! Godzilla's gotta be close! Sound the alarm!

So it's coming, huh?

Hey, kid! Get ready to drop those mines in, alright? Roger! Shikishima, get on the gun! We should retreat. We don't stand a chance fighting it like this. If we leave now, we'll make it to land. No, we should wait here and see how it acts first. Doc, go stand after and call out anything you see. Captain, please! Hey, Kaishimaru, you fellas, copy?

They say it's going to show soon. Get ready to land the big one. Roger that. I hope you don't mind it taking all the credit. Like hell, dude. We need to go. We run now. The Takao won't make it in time. After that, where do you think this thing's going to go?

I don't want to see Tokyo in a sea of fire again. Listen, there's no way our ship can handle it. I thought you said that you hated the government telling you what to do. Yeah, this doesn't change that. The thing is, if we don't step up, who the hell is going to?

at the end of the clip.

Our proper size, the nasty as fuck looking Big G pops up out of the water, snapping the small boat next to them in two on the way up. And the bravado of the clip we heard is immediately dropped as they try to.

justifiably hightail it out of there, only to find that the engine is out and that Doc now has to fix that shit or they all die horribly. They get in the boat moving and holy fucking shit, the spine's on Godzilla peeking out.

in the water look like they are really there even in 4k and i am fucking amazed and i pop like i am five years old and i just saw big g for the first time that was epic i mean that i felt real for me for that brief instant until i realized that it tricked me

And that's where I popped. I was like, holy fuck, that made me actually feel like it was there. Cool. Yeah, right. The tension of the scene builds as they drop the first mine and it strikes Godzilla exploding. And the captain of the ship asks if it's dead as we see nothing but...

black smoke and that is the end of the first third of the film that literally hits him and then he gets obscured by black smoke and boom that's the end of the first third of the film what a place to put intention building right all right i'm just like What the fuck?

There's a few sequences in that where Godzilla is chasing them and they have to drop off the mine where it's very much reminding me of Jaws. There's like the small ship versus the giant monster at sea. But the size of Godzilla compared to their...

tiny little ship and what they're trying to do to battle him and how they 100% just rely on each other and come together as a team to try and fight him off and are actually doing a pretty good job of defending themselves here with that first mine and getting it.

to explode just as they intended on his side all very very cool stuff and it really draws you in and it makes me forget about all of the fifis that they made me feel earlier that made me angry that they made me feel yeah how dare you make me feel feelings i'm now i'm having a good

time though i'm done with all your making me feel feeling shit

Right. Like, I don't want to deal with knowing that soldiers had PTSD and that bad times happen for people after a war. I don't want to deal with that. I just want to see giant monsters fuck shit up. Yeah, I just want to see a giant monster eat things and smash things.

use atomic breath and blow shit up. What is so wrong with that? Why do I have to go to therapy? Why do I have to feel things about a person that was traumatized by seeing Godzilla do just that? Why do I have to feel that?

I don't want to. I don't think I should. I don't think I should. I don't think I should have to see that. Fuck you guys for making me see it. Fuck you guys.

I was going to say I enjoyed your movie, but now I changed my mind. Just talk me right out of it. Fuck you guys.

It really is. I'm just kidding. I still enjoyed the movie. It's very difficult to suspend my disbelief whenever the drama is so heavy and it draws my attention to the drama. And I realize that I'm being manipulated with the music and everything, but I'm.

getting weepy eyed with some of this stuff because there's some things that really do draw some emotions out of me particularly the trauma that this vet has gone through as a kamikaze pilot who decided why was what's the point of me risking my life if we're losing this war and it's over anyway why don't I

have to bomb this ship what's the point why do i gotta do all this right and then him being frozen in fear when it's actually time to try to save other people with godzilla there i mean how do you even face a thing like that you know right

I don't think you can. Right. Everybody who panicked in fear and just shot at Godzilla for no reason. It's the same thing as, you know, him panic in fear and not doing anything. So.

The film builds to this moment where the actual beast shows up and he goes full Ahab about it, right? More or less. Yeah, right? He's like, fuck this. And I think that's a good spot for us to get started on the

third. What do you think? I think, oh, let's get going.

All right, so the middle act starts with the reveal that this small explosion was basically more of a severe annoyance and less of even a minor inconvenience. As Big G emerges from the smoke, making me lose my shit and punch the air.

I'm nearly fucking up my new laptop in the process by knocking it over.

After getting my shit together from almost fucking my laptop up, I back it up and start the scene again, only to have the massive tension in this scene pull me back in as Big G advances on the boat and can clearly swallow this thing whole in.

bite our main character is ordered to fire on big g and is unable to do so due to his ptsd before the voice of his comrade and the captain snaps him too and he unloads with excellent accuracy doing fuck all

or damage as Big G does not seem to even notice the shells striking him in the face. Jesus Christ, that was terrifying. Yeah, right? They drop a mine in the hopes it will explode inside Big G's mouth and so he...

Does them a solid and gobbles up the mine only for the trigger of the bomb to fail. So our main character has to do a sharpshooting attempt to Jaws that motherfucker. The mine goes off after what feels like forever and the explosion is so close.

It knocks the ship for a fucking loop as well, sending every man on that ship to the deck violently. They all get up in terror and ask if it worked. And we see what looks like a very fucking dead Godzilla there.

with a good chunk of his face blown the fuck off and a dead as fuck looking eye as he spontaneously regenerates and then stands up full size in the ocean and roars as if he is about to attack when a full on battleship attack.

Godzilla drawing his ire as he swims over stands up and rips the fucking ship to pieces with his arms flipping it on its side before he is shot point blank with a massive cannon and then sinks to the surface of the water holy shit was that all intense that was that was a lot

As the ship is rocked in the wake of the explosion and the sinking of Godzilla, the ocean below the ship begins to glow atomic breath blue as we see a laser-focused atomic breath blast that explodes the ship and sends out a bit of a mushroom cloud.

From which a still burning Godzilla that has embers in his flesh burning out as it heals over the nastiness burning its way into him just stands there. Holy fuck. Yeah. This is an absolute.

absolute nightmarish version of Godzilla. Just fucking horrifying beyond the capacity for any rational thought. Yeah, no, this is, uh, this is definitely, uh, gonna need to cross the streams to beat this Godzilla.

He's on fire with chunks of exploded ship burning into his flesh and his flesh just heals over it. And you see it just like kind of singe out as it does. So it's gruesome. Yeah.

Godzilla roars a fuck your couch battle cry and swims off as they fade from the men stranded there to our hero waking up in the hospital and our seventh clip. Good, you're finally awake.

Where am I? Yokosuka hospital. They rescued us after the attack. Nakai Shinmaru and Takao Cruz, did they make it? Oh, Godzilla.

That's right. Where did it go? What happened? It disappeared. No one knows where it is. Godzilla was headed straight for the mainland. We need to evacuate everyone or else this is going to be... Not so fast. The country has decided not to tell the public.

Why wouldn't they tell everyone they're in danger? Because they don't want things to get out of control. There's no time to worry about any of that. We need to begin evacuating now, otherwise... I understand what you're saying, and I agree with you.

But they don't want chaos right now. Information control is the only thing this country is good at. I want to know what's going on with you. No, Nicole, I'm fine. It's got nothing to do with you.

Tell me what this thing is that's tormenting you. Ever since you took me in, we've built a life together. But even through all of that, you still never really let me into your life. I know it has to be a heavy burden. I wish you'd let me help you carry it.

During the war, I was... In the war, I was a kamikaze. What? The day I was sent out, I pretended there was an issue with my fighter. So I flew to an island and landed for repairs. These photos, they...

They belonged to the mechanics there. That day, they all died. During the night, a giant monster like a dinosaur came ashore. They asked me to shoot at it with the gun on my fighter.

But I froze. I just ran away again. I let them die. It was all my fault. I let that thing kill everyone. They were going to return home to their families. The monster. Godzilla. That was its name.

The other day, I saw it again. And just like back then, I couldn't do anything to stop it. I don't deserve this. Why should I get the chance to live?

Koichi, everyone who survived the war, they all deserve to have a life again. Oh yeah, Noriko. And how would you know that? Because of my parents! As they died in the fire, they called out and they said they wanted me to live!

Whatever happens, whatever I do, I know that I have to survive. It's what keeps me going. I can't. Every night, I hear them calling to me in my dreams. Come and join us already, they say.

Stop trying to cheat death and accept your fate. Those are just nightmares. Illusions that you created for yourself. Sometimes, sometimes I wonder. I wonder if I'm still alive.

What if I did die on an island? And I'm rotting there. You. What if you and Akiko? What if the two of you are just the final dreams of a dead man? That's it. It has to be. I know it. You are alive.

You're alive, Koichi! Why can't you feel that? Okay, hold the spoon. See?

Gently. Gently. Patient. Good, master. You're doing great. There. It's done. And look, I added your favorite, daikon. Daikon. Let me know how it tastes.

Okay. You ready for a sip? First the soup, then the daikon. Is it hot? Don't burn your tongue. Here, have another bite. How is it? You like it? Am I really allowed to dream again now? Can I finally live my life? Oh boy.

They cut to a huge battleship out to sea, and we can see Godzilla swim underneath the ship and dwarf it while doing so. Damn, was that fucking scary. Right? Jesus.

His spines emerge from the water as he swims past, and they cut to a huge...

Mine line tied to a ship and more dialogue explaining about it in our eighth clip. We just heard from an offshore patrol. A giant creature is heading toward Tokyo Bay. Then it should be here soon.

What is it? I don't believe it. You see something? Look at it. Have you ever seen anything like that?

This is Tokyo Bay Defense, preparing to detonate Zone 4. We'll try to block the creature from going any further! It's closing in! Almost there! Reaching Zone 4 now!

Detonate! I get it?

Tokyo Bay blockade breached! The monster is now heading towards Shinigawa! And it's gargantuan! Ah, thank you.

This is an emergency news broadcast. Do not turn off your radio sets. A giant creature has come ashore at Tokyo Bay and is now heading toward Ginza. To those in or around the region, follow police instructions and evacuate right away.

This is not a hope. I repeat.

The end of the clip starts the sequence where Godzilla grieves the city. There is one sequence where people are fleeing and we see several trolleys and cars flying forward into the intersection of the fleeing crowd who pause to look behind them at this moment, not understanding what's going on.

on and then scream and flee in terror when one of big g's feet stomp into view they cut from this to a train that is about to get proper fucked because godzilla fucking hates trains as we have definitely seen a lot

in this series and i am here for it every fucking time yeah he really does not like uh trains that's really that's fucking true

The problem is that on this particular doomed train, our main character's not-wife we know as not-the-mama is also on that train. And by the way, she's looking cute as a button. Downright incredible in her light blue sweater and dark blue skirt.

I really like this outfit on her. Yeah, just so adorable. We are shown how nice and cozy this doomed train is when out of nowhere, what appears to be a trolley or a single train car is spinning through the air as it crashes and embeds.

in the ground on the tracks directly in front of the commuter train so they are forced to roughly emergency brake and as not the mama turns she sees Godzilla and asks if that is him and we get a full glimpse

of this version of Godzilla, which I declare to be an amalgamation of all the parts I have personally loved about various other Godzilla's.

all just kind of put together into what I consider the ultimate fan service version. We get them thick thighs that end lives. We get them big old nasty plates about the back. We get the horrific burn scars from the radiation. We get these slightly longer arms and claws.

that he actually uses like arms to attack and claws to claw things. No notes. Love it. Love the design. No, no good stuff. After sitting here and reviewing this film, I have to have a figure of this particular big G now too. And I will be.

rectifying its absence on my shelves as soon as possible. I got to get a figure from this Godzilla. It's great. Yeah, yeah. This horrific and terrifying Godzilla does the Millennium Godzilla forward head arms up and to the side with claws.

Falls out challenge roar and that charge as well that I.

come to love as he stomps his way over to fuck up that train. There is a wonderful detail of pavement and ground rupturing underfoot and sending shockwaves forward as the crowd flees and gets knocked over. This is how you do CGI.

and compositing in such a way that you achieve that willing suspension of disbelief you get from the pseudimation and the model work. All the stuff they're doing in this sequence, we discussed what was working in the Shin Godzilla that made it feel like that as well. And they do that to a T here in that sequence.

It's fucking phenomenal effects work. Everything looks great, looks clean, looks crisp.

kind of what you want you know and yeah we're in the later years this is 2023 so it's it's a little better but you know you don't get it all the time even in these days a good effect work on a monster movie so good stuff yeah no notes yeah

Big G chomps the train and picks it up in his mouth as sections fall away and Not the Mama struggles to hold herself in place as the sole survivor of her car. After much stress and her falling to catch herself on a pole.

and clutching hold of it for dear life, she notices she is over water and makes a brave and shockingly graceful fall into the water from a sizable height. And we see the train car fall behind her as she tries to swim.

way. They cut from that to reporters on the roof being fucking stupid in our ninth play.

during the war has been reduced to little more than rubble. Ah, and now the monster is approaching our position.

As it moves closer, we can only stand back and watch as this enormous head towers above us! This could be the end! It is insane for us to be here!

And with that, we see Godzilla truly does have them thick thighs that end lives as his thighs smash away.

at the structure of the building where the reporters were perched on the roof. That building collapses with them all sliding forward and falling with the rubble to what I can only assume is their ultimate demise. Yeah, you'd think that it's there.

Probably there's no surviving that.

We then see a heavily traumatized, not the mama walking in shock in the street as others flee Godzilla's wrath all around her while he continues to bring extra grief down upon every structure around him. Godzilla's like trampling.

everything in front of him which is now the crowd he specifically stomps on the crowd and then he'll do a turn where he sees a building behind him and he makes sure that his tail sweeps out the next street of buildings over like he just like clears out a whole he's really interested

and blowing shit up. Yeah, he's really purposely targeting buildings and people like he's actively trying to hurt people. Yeah. At this point, he's shit.

At this point, he's trampling over the crowd, which is running over not the mama. When our main character hero shows up in the nick of time to rescue her as she is paralyzed with fear and about to be crushed. He drags her to her feet as they join.

the fleeing crowd and I feel the terror in this moment with them in this crowd they put it on our level we see Godzilla stomping above them and it really sells just how horrifying it would be to be in his path that's really cool the way that they did it it's really

fucking there they cut from that to a wider shot of godzilla purposely stomping on a huge group of fleeing people and then doing another tail whip when he notices the buildings behind him engaging in excessive grieving down

a block level as if he were racking up points in Rampage. He's literally targeting buildings like he's getting game points in that. Yeah.

This is in no way a negative assessment of any of this because I am here for it all, all day and watching each part a few times. I've gone back and watched him at this point doing this review, knock buildings over with his tail a few times.

yeah yeah but it is just so scary how purposeful he is and most movies it doesn't look like he's actually aiming for the people or the buildings he's just trying to make his way through this time around it looks like hey he's into the killing.

Yeah, this Godzilla understands what those buildings represent, and he is purposely destroying them for a reason in this. Absolutely. Godzilla is attacked by a barrage of tank mortar fire that causes a ton of dust that obscures him from sight.

and causes the crowd to stop and hope. But as we know, there is no such thing as this does nothing to stop Godzilla. And then his back scale plates start to glow blue as more and more of them pop out, almost like control rods.

We know Atomic Breath is powering up by this super cool and very different way of showing Godzilla's ability, like the cooling rods being removed from a reactor. No notes. I love this powering up sequence. It's incredible.

It's good shit. It takes its time, but also build suspense. When the atomic breath blast happens, it looks almost like a plasma ray of focused atomic fire and the resulting blast from the strike.

of the blast levels the city like an atom bomb speaking of that we see the blast level the city as not the mama pushes the main character into an alley and out of harm's way just before the shockwave pushes her out of frame with

tons of debris only to watch that same debris get sucked backwards towards the explosion when the main character comes to from that blast we see the complete and utter annihilation of everything around him and he calls out for not the mama by using her real

name and collapses into a puddle of grief, shame, and guilt. He looks up in horror of the triumphant Big G and the mushroom cloud of devastation. His atomic breath has rot when he screams in utter uncontrolled rage and grief as they show the complete and utter leveling of Tokyo in our 10th clip.

The damage caused by the giant creature that came ashore yesterday includes a total of some 30,000 killed or injured and over 20,000 homes and buildings destroyed. Rescue and recovery operations are already underway, but investigating the wreckage from the creature's past...

carries the risk of radiation which has severely impeded progress throughout Ginza pieces of the massive beasts flesh have been discovered after having apparently peeled off during the attack police have cordoned off central Ginza all day to collect samples of any materials of unknown

I still can't believe it.

What about Akiko? We all pull together to take care of each other. Hey, Akiko. Remember, you're going to stay at my house when Dad's away, okay? Then do I get to see Mom? Not right now. She had to go away for a little...

a while for work, so you're on to her a bit. Come here, sweetheart. It's okay. It'll be alright. Come here.

It's okay. That's what I get, isn't it? For what I did to you? Of course. Why did I think I could dream again?

Shiki-san, listen to me. I'm part of a secret effort to design a strategy to defeat Godzilla, led by a civilian force. While I still don't know how viable it is, I'd like you to be there. Look at all these guys. Is everybody here? Yes. They're all ex-Navy personnel. Is that so?

No kidding. My name is Hota. I was the captain of the Yukikaze. Thank you all for coming today. As you're all aware, Tokyo is facing an unprecedented threat. A powerful creature so enormous that it can level an entire city.

We lack defensive forces of our own. Any GHQ intervention runs the risk of further escalating U.S.-Soviet tensions. No one is coming to help us. In short, the only option is to confront this monster, uniting our strengths as private citizens.

And that is why we've gathered you all here today. Fortunately, after rounds of negotiations, we secured four destroyers slated for handover to the UN. Are you kidding? What are you saying? That you want us to get back on...

Navy ships? Just look at Ginza and what happened there. There's nothing we can do to beat that. Aren't those boats all disarmed? What are you expecting us to do? That's right. You're dreaming. Excuse me. Could you all please calm down? That's exactly what I'm here to explain. Not a sauna.

I would like to... Sorry. I would like to start with an introduction.

My name is Kenji Noda and I was a Navy technical officer. What we know about this monster is, uh, the local people of Odo Island call it Godzilla, which is how I'll refer to it. This creature is virtually immune to all types of conventional weaponry. I've witnessed it firsthand.

And as soon as the Takao hit it with its heavy cannons, Godzilla began regenerating itself back to health. Quiet, please. Our plan will instead use the unconventional. Please.

Allow us to show you what I mean. The water in this tank has the same salinity as seawater. There's a wooden Godzilla model on the surface, which you can see we weighed down just enough to float at the top.

If we were to pipe in Freon gas, what would happen once the model is enveloped in bubbles? Oh, now that's an easy one. It'll stay afloat, even with the bubbles.

What else could it do? Yes, that's what you would think. The Freon bubbles surround the wooden model, which prevents any contact with seawater. The idea is to trap the real Godzilla just like this.

and forcefully sink the creature to the bottom of the ocean.

Hey, looks like the dog carries a lot of influence around here, huh? Now, as you're all aware, the Sagami Trench is over 1500 meters deep, making it the single deepest point in nearby waters.

And so my plan is to attach our Freon gas cylinders directly to Godzilla and fire them all at once, surrounding it in a bubble membrane like you saw. The idea is that it will sink to the bottom of the trench so rapidly the pressure will crush it to death. We kill it with the power of the ocean.

I call it Special Operation Waratsumi. Couldn't it withstand the pressure if it's already used to living in the sea, though? The calculations show.

that after 25 seconds, every square meter should apply 1500 tons of pressure. Even a creature that's used to living in deep water would be extremely unlikely to survive that kind of pressure. I have a question.

Can you guarantee this will kill Godzilla? Godzilla is a creature about which we know very little. So theory has to drive our strategy.

Guns can't hurt it, as I've said, so we think that this is our... Just tell us if this will kill it or not.

I can't guarantee that. Shikishima! This is our best shot! Shiki-san, just hear me out, alright? Now then, here is step one. Two destroyers will corral Godzilla and wrap it in a cable like this.

Running along the cable will be various points that have Freon gas cylinders attached to them. Once it's wrapped tightly, the gas can then be released. This will force Godzilla to rapidly plunge down 1500 meters.

If it doesn't work, what happens then? There's a contingency for that. Gentlemen, would you look into the courtyard? Inflate! That was crazy.

Hello, I'm Itagaki from Toyo Balloon. Let me explain what you just saw. For this design, we chose to look at the life rafts used in the war. It's an inflatable flotation device.

co2 is shot at high velocity into air sacs for buoyancy think of it like a life preserver once godzilla hits the bottom the device is inflated forcing it right back up to the surface

Even if it does initially withstand the pressure, in these conditions, it's highly unlikely to survive decompression. Even so, I can't tell you that this will work with total certainty, but I think this is going to be our only real chance.

I doubt that any of us want to be here, putting your lives on the line after already surviving a war. I know how unfair it sounds. And yet...

We need your help. We're in this alone. No aid from any government. Which means the future of this nation is in your hands again. I can't, sir. It's too much. I have a family.

Everyone here does. Why do we have to risk our lives again? Why does it have to be us? We're always the ones drawing the short straw. We can't go back to the things we were doing in the war.

Quiet, please. Please, listen carefully. We aren't conscripting you. If you don't want to volunteer for this, then go back to your families. None of us have the right to stop any of you. I have a question. Does this plan of yours mean certain death? Of course it doesn't. Okay.

Well, those odds are better than the war. Someone has to do it, right? Who else is going to get this done? We need these ships, and that means we need sailors. What do you say? Are we in- My friends, thank you.

That was a surprise. Finding out our good old Doc was the one behind this crazy plan. Well, I've had a direct encounter with Godzilla. Because of that, they suggested that I take the lead. Oh, that makes sense. That's why they wanted us there too, isn't it? So, you think Godzilla...

Zilla will return.

After that last attack, we can assume that Godzilla has added Tokyo to its new territory of sorts, which would mean, in the worst case, it could return within ten days. You think that soon? I heard you set up radiation-detecting buoys all over. We can't just rely on ourselves.

to figure out where it is. Yeah, still though, you really think it's gonna walk into your trap just like that? Well, that's the thing. What, you don't have a plan? Well, yes, of course I do. Who do you think you're dealing with?

We have underwater speakers used for acoustic minesweeping. We use the speakers to play the recordings made of Godzilla's voice during its last attack. Godzilla's voice? Yeah. So it'll show up, thinking it has another territorial competitor to deal with. Hopefully. Hopefully?

You can't just rely on hope.

And what was that flotation device thing? I just don't see how that would work on something as big as Godzilla. I'd like to see you think of something else. I know! What about pulling it up using the destroyers? You insane? They couldn't do that. Godzilla weighs around 20,000 tons.

That's far too heavy for two destroyers. Short talk, I think your plan has a lot of holes in it. Well, if you're just gonna complain, why don't you come up with a better one? Nota-san, if I asked you for a fighter, could you get me one? A fighter? If it does decide to come ash-

Then I think I could use my guns to draw it out to the bay. But I thought all the Japanese fighters were decommissioned after the war. Besides, even if I could, it shoots out that heat ray as well. Flying so close to it like that, you'd be risking your life. I don't care what the risks are. And besides, a good fighter is going to-

to outrun and outmaneuver any of our boats. Are you asking us to help you with this because you really think it's going to work? Or are you just trying to die? I think you're drunk. I think you just want to avenge Noriko.

What's so wrong with that? You waited too long.

Why the hell didn't you marry that girl when you had the chance, huh? You knew how she felt, didn't you? Don't you think I also wanted that? Why didn't you say anything to her? Because I couldn't. My war isn't over yet. Is it true? You found a plane? Yeah.

However, it is a bit unique. It was developed at the end of the war. A short-range interceptor known as the Sheen Demp.

Built to utilize fast hit-and-run tactics, it can hit speeds of over 400 knots. It's a canard design with four 30-millimeter guns. It can outmaneuver almost anything.

a true marvel of aeronautical innovation the fighters like this one here were never deployed before the surrender towards the end of the war they were all kept here for storage until eventually they were forgotten about entirely since then they've just sat here to rust this one

in pretty bad shape it's not airworthy not yet well you see that's the issue we need a top mechanic or an engineer that really knows their way around a fighter

Actually, I know just the person. Let's see. An ex-Odo Island detachment mechanic. So, Saku Tachibana, you said? Right. Tachibana, Tachibana, Tachibana, Tachibana. Let's see.

it looks like we don't have a current address i understand we're getting hit hard with all sorts of requests like this one it could take quite a bit of time for us to find anything you don't understand i need to speak with him as soon as i can that's too bad i'm sorry i don't know what else i

I can do. Sir, please. What? I'm begging you.

The country's future depends on it. Oh, it does, I'm sure. But I can't do the impossible. So sorry. Ah, hold on. Tachibana, do you know where he was posted before he got to Odo Island? Can you at least tell me that? The end of the clip cuts from that information seeking...

sequence to our main character furiously writing letters in an attempt to find the other sole survivor of the original smaller Godzilla attack on Odo Island. And that leads us past the middle act of the film. Holy fuck. We are now.

two-thirds of the way down. Yeah, Jesus.

The attack sequence where he griefs the fuck out of that city, we've already kind of talked about it, but specifically targeting the buildings and stomping groups of people, like you see him look down, notice people fleeing in front of him, and then purposely stomp the largest group.

he can. This is a smart Godzilla that is actively trying to harm humans and destroy buildings. Yeah, he is definitely trying to...

make his shit go that's for sure you haven't seen this one yet because we didn't cover it uh in your absence but you will be seeing uh well i'm just gonna call it gmk it's a really really long fucking title but in gmk it's like a zombie godzilla that is

powered by the souls of people that want to punish Japan for what it did in World War II. It's a weird fucking plot line. But anyway, that Godzilla specifically targets people and attacks them. It'll specifically squash a building just because there's a person in there.

specifically or it sees a person and will specifically try to crush the people that are around like it's

trying to harm people in buildings and that's how this one behaves as if he is well i mean the atomic bomb attacked him so yeah he's you know people did the atomic bomb so he's attacking people yeah that's basically what's happening he's like fuck all you people right right

I mean, every time he shows up, they try to hurt him too. So of course he's just going to try and grief him back and just smash more shit. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I think we're ready to move on to the final act. What do you think? Yeah, let's do it.

All right, so the final act picks up with a cut from that furious letter-writing campaign footage to some expository dialogue in our 11th clip.

I've already asked everywhere I can, but this Tachibana fellow, he's proven to be quite hard to track down. We can find someone else to help us get the plane up in the air. Think, do you have any other leads? Please just wait a little longer. I don't know why you're being so insistent, Shiki-san.

It's got to be Tachibana, all right? I'm sure he'll get the message soon. He has to. Wait for him, please! Tachibana! Tachibana-san! It really is you!

What the hell are all these letters about? Wait! The Odo Island massacre was my fault. I'm the one who let those men die. What are you talking about? I'm sorry. I needed you to find me.

And sending those was the one thing I knew would get under your skin. How dare you!

The monster that attacked Ginza was the same one from Odo. It was Godzilla. We have a fighter. We're gonna use it to try and kill it. And I need your help to fix it. That's why I had to find you. We need a mechanic who can get it ready to fly.

That's why I wrote all those stupid letters. Please forgive me! Forget it. You're on your own. Why would I ever help you? Tachibana! Please wait! Tachibana!

Please don't go! Tachibana! I need you to do something for me! Something, something I know that only you can do! The Takao's guns did nothing, but I detonated a mine in his mouth and it actually hurt it! I think we can kill it if we find a way to hit it from the inside!

You mean? And fly directly into its mouth so we can finally kill it once and for all. Kamikaze. The war isn't over yet. Not for me or for you. Ah. I thought you said you just fell down. Ah!

You had to hit yourself pretty hard for it to swell up that much. It's embarrassing. I ended up getting pretty drunk. I barely remember anything. Well, considering you found Tachibana after looking so hard, I think you deserve to celebrate a little.

A canard huh? I didn't think that they had actually finished one.

Tachibana-san, you made it. Thank you all for coming. Hello, you must be Mr. Tachibana. Look at that. Must be one of the Shinden class interceptors, huh? Yes, this one wasn't finished. You think you can make it fly? We'll do everything we can to make that happen. We really appreciate it. Good luck.

Good luck. Alright, let's pick it up. Get those weights on now.

You need to lighten up a little there, Doc. It ain't good for morale. I know that this was my idea, and yet...

I still worry that for everything to work, we'll need some kind of miracle to happen. I know you're worried. To get a miracle, you don't just stand by and wait for one. Yes, you're right. Take a look out there. These guys know. They aren't naive.

They understand they're putting their lives at risk to do this. And yet, their faces, they're bright and beaming. That's because they know this time they have a chance to make a real difference. A real difference.

In the war, we were used to suffering every day. But now, we get to do good again. Make some room. This just came in. East of Hachijo Island. 33.1 degrees north.

140.01 degrees east Geiger readings from multiple detection buoys about an hour ago followed by here and here Godzilla is on its way if it continues at this current rate

Godzilla is expected to arrive at the Sagami trench at approximately 1100 hours tomorrow. That means...

We need to leave port right at 0800 hours. Itagaki, your flotation device. It'll be ready by then, right? We should be there on the destroyers. The final three hours will be critical. As engineers, we demand perfection. I can't ask that. And you could get caught up.

In our fight against Godzilla. The four of us have seen war too. Then everyone, you should all go home. Spend as much time as you can with your families tonight. Are you saying that we should prepare them? We all know that for too long this country has treated our lives far too cheap.

Tanks with insufficient armor. Poor supply chains, leading to starvation and disease, causing the most casualties during the war. Fighter planes, built without ejection seats, which should be the bare minimum. And finally...

kamikaze and suicide attacks. Those are the reasons why this time I want this citizen-led effort of ours to be one that aims to sacrifice no lives at all.

Because this next battle isn't about a fight to the death. This battle is a fight to live for our future. Alright, yes, okay, let's do this!

Finally, tomorrow's the day. Look at me, shivering. You're not going, kid. What do you mean? We're not going to have any use for you while your arm is like that. Shikishima still gets to go. Hold on, is this because I wasn't in the war? I can help you.

Guys, I'm not useless. Look, kid, not being part of a war is something to be grateful for. I still want to defend my country, too. I don't understand why I don't get to go. I thought we were a team, that we were in this together. Don't do this. I want to be there with you.

Let me go, please! We're leaving this country's future with you. Captain!

The end of the clip cuts away from this heart-wrenching moment of emotional depth I am not prepared to deal with in a Godzilla film to a bunch of guns and other hardware for the experimental plane laid out on a table. We see the mechanic guys lower.

pouring a bomb into place where all of the gunner hardware has been removed. The head survivor mechanic takes note of the fixed seat without an ejection system to save the pilot and gazes at it for some foreshadowing. And then they cut to...

Akiko, you ready? Here you go. I'll see you soon. And Sumiko, thank you for everything. Akiko, you have fun with Auntie? Yeah, I have fun. That's good. She's nice, huh? Is that for me? Thank you. Akiko.

There's us. But who's this? Is that mom? Uh-huh, mom's right there. Look at that. You're so talented. What's wrong? Why are you sad? What is it? Akiko. Hey.

It's okay. Hey, I'm here. I'll always be here for you. Tachipana-san, is it ready? Give me a minute. There's the bomb you asked for. Two machine guns, 140 kilos.

120 rounds, 80 kilos, and we pulled out the main fuel tank, dropping 400. Instead, you've got a number 25 bomb in the nose and a number 50 in the fuselage.

Good. Now I have a chance to finally make things right. The funny thing is, I guess there's a part of me that wants to live. No one on the Odo Island crew wanted to die, but they didn't get to go home.

None of them. They didn't get the chance because that monster killed them. I know what I have to do. This was drawn by a girl named Takiko. I want there to be a future for her. Godzilla has to be stopped. I'll do whatever it takes.

Well, then I guess you're finally ready. Now, this is important. Listen up. Down here. This is a safety for the bombs. Pull it right before you fly into its mouth. Got it? One more thing.

Oh, Akiko, why are you out here? Are you alone? Look, is it from daddy? From daddy? Here.

It's all right. Don't worry, sweetheart. Critter Shield 12 here. We see floating deep sea fish 35.03 north, 139.41 east.

At the end of the clip, they show the ship dragging an underwater speaker, playing out Godzilla's roar, and they cut from that to a bunch of battle station setups in the bay and our 13th clip. Godzilla has been sighted in Sagami Bay.

The underwater decoy team is deploying the audio lure to bring it to the target area. All ships expedite your schedules and leave port as soon as everyone is aboard.

We better go home. Looks like Mitsushima finally gave up. I feel bad, but it's for his own good. To be honest, I didn't want Shikishima flying either. I'm worried that he could do something reckless today, and I don't want that. He's got Akiko.

You can't just leave her alone.

Look! There it is! It's already here!

My signal! Get out there and put an end to this war. Shikishima. Everyone, leave port now! We've seen all our Asumi ships are to finish boarding and leave port immediately! What now, Doc?

It's too late to do anything. No, we just have to keep going. The Sagami Trench is key. There's nowhere else that's suitable to execute our plan, but we need to be there. We have to rely on Shiki-san to lure it out to us. Yes, sir!

Noda-san! Shikishima's calling! Shikishima here. I've taken off successfully. I'll start to lure Godzilla to the target area. Good. We'll make sure that we're ready for you. Get to the target area quickly. Shikishima! Better not try anything!

I won't let you abandon Akiko, you got that? Do you hear me, Shikishima? Nothing. What is he thinking? Telegram! Oh, yes? Mrs. Shikishima, a telegram for you. Oh.

The clip ends with Godzilla walking through, and I mean right the fuck through, a citadel-like structure of buildings in a rural landscape, just leveling buildings without realizing it with his feet. That doesn't seem like he meant to do it. That just looked like they were in the way and he didn't give a fuck.

fuck yeah i don't know man i still think he meant to do that shit the pilot buzzes his head and irritates godzilla with some machine gun fire so big g decides to get in the water and go after him and they cut from that to our 14th look at that

Nice job, Shikishma. It worked, and Godzilla doesn't look too happy, does it? Now's our chance. It's up to us now. All ships, prepare for battle.

That's right.

I see you. All right, Team 1, get out there! Team 1, attack! Team 1, attack!

At the end of the clip, we see Godzilla firing up his atomic breath, and it is revealed that they had decoy ships for him to attack and destroy. The resulting explosion from Godzilla's atomic breath blast has burned even him as we see even more smoldering.

ash around his face, burning its way in and healing over as it does. And this leads to our 15th. Holy hell.

So that's its heatbreak.

Ships will never survive this. Listen, sir. We should evacuate while there's still time. No, at least not yet. We need to start while we still can. Doctor, it'll shoot the heat ray again. Not for a while. Once Godzilla fires its heat ray, it has to recharge.

We have to go! Start the operation now! Waratsumi is a go! That's an order!

With that, the ships launch out the big snare wire and the plane distracts Godzilla while they try to surround him with the snare to launch the Freon sink attack in our 16th.

Roger. We need to maintain our course. Call the Ibiki. Ibiki, maintain course. We're going to take a little damage. Stay at our current speed. Ibiki, close.

On it! Whatcha doing? We ready? We're close! Hit it, Captain! Roger that!

That sequence was fucking cool where the ships have to almost collide to wrap around him. And it's so utilitarian in that this is what we have to use to try and fight this monster. Super cool. I really dig this.

This is all we got to try to kill this fucking thing.

With that, they hit the Freon and Godzilla plummets to the bottom of the trench to the target depth. And at the bottom of the trench, his power goes out for trying to launch the atomic breath in our 17th.

1,300! 1,400! That's it! That's it! 1,500! 1,500! That's our target depth! We've reached it!

We saw Godzilla! Was that it? Guess the big guy won't quit. We need to go to plan B.

That's it, now rise! Depth, 1200 meters! 1100! 1000! The cables have stopped! The current depth is 803 meters! What's wrong?

Why is it stopping? It's been through it. Hibiki, we're going to have to pull Godzilla up. Maximum speed, 90 degrees. But sir, even with both ships, we don't have enough power. I don't give a damn. Give it all you can, gentlemen.

Keep going!

Mizushima here. Captain, are you there? Kid, is that you? Yeah! This is the Koemaru from Toyo Balloon. Need a hand? And then Ikuma!

At your service!

How's this for useless? We're here to save your asses! Let's do this! Look at that! I guess he decided not to listen to us, huh? All right, tuck boats! Ready? We've got to pull up Godzilla!

All ships, pull! All ships, pull! It's working!

At the end of the clip, Godzilla surfaces and begins firing up his atomic breath once again while looking severely fucked up from that oceanic plunge and immediately resurfacing, doing...

obvious damage to the big g just as the film takes a moment to show all of the brave individuals attempting to murder big g for simply existing seeing the error and folly of fucking around with kaijus and what you find out as a result before the atomic breath

can roast everything in sight the super aircraft flown by our main character swoops in to remind us that he is still on a quest to end his own life rather than have a surrogate family as he guns it for godzilla pulls the

Preparation for the bomb crashes his jet directly into Godzilla's mouth, plugging his atomic breath from blasting as he crashes. He pulls one last lever and they cut to a wide shot of Big G's head and it explodes.

with a huge fireball and smoke, and we are waiting to see if that trick worked, as everyone is shown in shock at the implied sacrifice that our main character just did. They reveal his parachute in our pentel.

ultimate clip.

I added this too. It's an ejection seat. You pull that lever to activate it.

Live. Tajibana-san.

at the end of the clip we see the combination of ultra ben's attack

blocked atomic breath and having the whole of the top of his head exploded to fiery ash finally does Godzilla in as the blue energy burns through at multiple points and comes out like laser lights we saw in Shin Godzilla and the Godzilla burns up.

and collapses into the ocean in chunks. The men on the ship look on in horror at what they have done and some salute as if this atrocity is...

anything honorable. They cut from that to everyone returning home in our final clip. Shikishima! You did it! You did it!

Nice work, kid. Sumiko! Koichi! Koichi! Akiko! What?

Koichi is your war?

Can we help her?

They cut away from this to a chunk of Godzilla that begins pulsating as the flesh starts to regrow and they show the title indicating that this is one loss to many battles to come. Hence Godzilla minus one, everyone. This is just the first battle we lost.

Yeah, just minus one. Roll credits.

See ya!

Cinema psyops. Holy fucking shit. Did we have to fly through that as quick as possible to get to here? Yeah, no shit. I,

I really, really like Godzilla Minus One. I know a lot of complaints about the human stuff in this is that maybe it's a little too emotional. It's a little too sappy, but I feel like they're dealing with big issues and they did paint in a little bit broader strokes with that. But for some reason, it always works with me.

I'm not lying. I get fucking weepy-eyed at all of this shit. And maybe I'm just a soft touch and a mark, but I really enjoy this film. And when the kaiju action happens, it makes me extremely happy and horrified all at once. I have no complaints about Godzilla Minus One.

I think this is an excellent Godzilla film. Yeah, we really had two good Godzilla films. Maybe two of the best to do these last two weeks. Yeah, there's supposedly going to be a sequel to this. We will get to it eventually. But as of...

This year 10 recording, there is not another Godzilla film after this. Not with any kind of live action studio stuff. I mean, there are some American ones, but we're not doing those. No, no. The Japanese ones, there's none after this. Yeah, that's the point.

this was the last one as of this recording and they they're apparently going to do another one following up for minus one in the same universe and that's going to include a mechagodzilla

fighting Godzilla in that world so I'm very excited for that. I can't wait to see what they're going to do with it. I'm very happy with the effects work that's in this and I know that the person that was behind it is a huge fan and was an effects aficionado themselves.

So, hey, they did write bias on this one as far as I'm concerned, and I can't wait for the next one. Yes. Yeah, right? Good stuff. Yeah, but it's like waiting for Winds of Winter from George R.R. Martin. You don't know when that film's going to come out, so I'm not going to hold up this cover.

of Godzilla for that newest film. Just not going to do that. Not going to do it.

Well, why don't we actually do something worthwhile? We'll take a break here and play the Linda Lindas on the Pirate Radio Edit. Also released in 2023, it's going to be the song Too Many Things. And when we come back, we'll have something for some kind of a season.

story um are you like okay or should i and i can't believe i'm gonna say this should i call matt to do a welfare check yes and no i'm not fucking okay but this world full of fear is something i'm very used to living

through so you know kind of business as usual just always be there as a character to remind me that even in a garbage heap of the future created at the end of everything before it even began there will be a person watching weird and wonderful So this...

whole story arc was just a weird fucking fan letter. Dude, I'm touched, but this is getting pretty close to bad touch. Like, seriously. I think the dude he created me is loving every fucking minute of this right now.

be warned you never meet your heroes i hope he takes this better than you honestly because you might be right i think there might be something really wrong with me look just take the hiatus mate there's no point crushing your enemies and seeing driven before you if you don't take

the time to hear the lamentation of their women Conan the Barbarian 1982 129 minutes shut the fuck up

Seriously, take the time off. Relax. You're mad at both end it. Besides, it's the only way any of us get out of this endless loop. I wanted to write so much more with your character. I'm sorry I didn't.

holy fuck yeah that just kind of made me a little bit happy i really dig the linda lindas uh bunch of like i think they were like 12 and 13 when they first got started so like not even teens they were like pre-teens and they got noticed during the pandemic i don't know if you're familiar with the linda lindas or not

They got pretty big because they had a song called Racist Sexist Boy. And like I said, I think most of them weren't even like, I think a lot of them were like preteens at the time. Whenever they recorded this and produced this song. And now they're like touring with big fucking bands and her.

like doing all sorts of albums and stuff so good for them that's amazing yeah a little success yeah so there's a mini story time before my actual story there you go

Man, that's the last story time for year 10 that we're going to be playing that. And then however long the hiatus takes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. And then however long we go. Yeah. All right. So my story time is going to be very simple to get squared away.

It's basically going to see Godzilla minus one in the theaters this time, actually with my wife. So there we go. There you go. Yeah. We decided to go earlier in the day. I think we did a morning showing of it on a weekend day.

And Bev was mentioning to me, like, hey, I think you're going to have a lot of kids in this showing for this specific monster movie at the Alamo Drafthouse when we go see Godzilla Minus One, you know, because it's morning time. Like, it's pretty likely that families are going to be here.

shocked the hell out of her because i went i hope so yeah yeah right and she was like really i'm like yeah and we're kind of describing it on the car on the way there and we're driving out to the alamo draft house it's about a 15 minute drive we've already kind of set that up when i talked about going there for

seeing Shin Godzilla and we get in the theater and we are sitting right next to two dads and two kids so on Bev's side of where she's sitting

Immediately to her right, there is a kid. And then immediately to the right of that kid is that kid's dad. And then to immediately to my left, there's a kid. And then immediately to the left of that kid is that kid's father. So Bev and I are sandwiched by younger, like probably about.

between five and eight year old boys to go watch Godzilla minus one. Right. And Bev's like, I don't know, Cort. We got kids right next to us. I'm like, trust me, Bev, this is going to be awesome.

You know, and then like the row in front of us has like a whole family that fills out and there's like a couple of kids and everything like that. And then there's like a couple of people that fill in behind us. I start hearing the kid to my left talking about Godzilla movies.

And I hear some of the kids down in front of us talking with their parents about Godzilla movies and all of this kind of stuff. A lot of them have not really seen the Japanese Godzilla movies. Some of them are more familiar with the American ones from 2014, thankfully.

They're all like super, super excited. Well, the movie is what it is. It's absolutely just an emotional roller coaster. But during all of the scenes where Godzilla action is happening, I'm looking to my left. I'm looking to Bev's immediate right.

I'm checking out the kids that are like looking at the kids in front of us and how they're reacting to it. And it is enhancing every single thing because 40.

Year old me is back there sitting around watching this Godzilla movie that he's been obsessed with since he was probably about the age of all the kids that are surrounding him. And every single one of them is having a total blast. Now, I think I'm pretty sure Bev said that the kid to her.

immediate right was talking about how this would be like his first godzilla film ever not just in theaters or we overheard a kid that was in front of us as well and whichever kid that was wherever that was this is a very vivid memory that i will always always have um that godzilla mine

one movie at the very end of it this kid jumps up turns into like dash basically from the incredibles at the very end and is like that was awesome he's just like so spent and he falls back onto his seat and just kind of like chills for a second

second until his dad's like, come on, we gotta go. Yeah, yeah. We gotta get out of here. Yeah, yeah. It was...

An amazing, like obviously I really enjoyed Godzilla minus one. We've already talked about that. I absolutely loved it, but I will forever remember being surrounded by little kids. A lot of them actually seeing Godzilla movies for the very first time and being like super stoked and excited.

And then absolutely falling in love with Godzilla. And I told Bev on the car ride home, she was like, okay, I get it now. You wanted to watch a bunch of kids become Godzilla fans, didn't you? And I was like, fuck yes. Yeah, why not? Right? They just got to learn something. Right. I was like...

I hope that these kids will go back and find the other Japanese films and start watching them. And, you know, they can absolutely enjoy all the American 2014 legendary Godzilla films that they want. I enjoy those as well. You know, I'm just so glad that there is a new generation of...

American kids being introduced to a proper Godzilla that doesn't have Matthew Broderick in it. Yeah, right.

They don't have to think of that as Godzilla. They're too young. They don't know. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Well, that was basically the gist of that story time that I wanted to get out for everybody. Just basically so that we could have another story where I talk about seeing Godzilla minus one in theater.

And I would have been remiss if I didn't get that out there. So I'm glad that we did that. But why don't we go ahead and close out this already overlong as fuck show? What do you think? Right? Let's do it. All right. So we're going to go ahead and play the show housekeeping and immediately following that on the pirate radio edit, we will have the Delta bombers with.

the song good disguise and when we come back we'll close out this overlong fucking show

It's the only way any of us get out of this endless loop. I wanted to write so much more with your character. I'm sorry I didn't. Listen, I come from a dystopian wasteland living amongst the dregs of humanity. But let me say, existing in your reality...

Yeah, these sucks. Do you have any idea how horrifying a wall of which was for me to see? I'm pretty sure at least one of them was just whispering, fight for-

I hope you will. It wins the internet in all reality I have heard it in, dude.

can end we have to connect you back to where you were brought into the loop. You must record the message to yourself that you first received upon waking from stasis.

Fine. What the fuck did I say? Recording in progress. I need to now send a transmission to myself to tell myself to not do this so I don't end up getting demolition manned out of a bubble that smelled like three-day farts.

All right, so I'm sending this out in the hopes that it will reach, well, me, I guess. Like, past me, not current me, because current me already knows that I didn't send it. But if I send it and then I get it, then I should eventually work out that I got it.

Can I go back to being fictional now? Existing in a corporal form fucking sucks. You're a loser.

I just got out of the room. Oh, gee, oh no. He got burnt up in that great coal lining disaster. How'd he fare? He's better, of course. You here to visit somebody? Oh, no.

I volunteer now here just, you know, trying to be a good neighbor to everybody. And it's a big payout package, you know? Seems like people need someone to offer kind words and a helping hand here every now and then, you know? Anyway, maybe even go...

fishing for a little bit. I mean, I got nothing to worry about since you released the tapes Zevon recorded and I got included in the compensation of the bio. No, I'm glad.

Glad you found a way to do some good in this world, dude. You always deserve better than this. Aw, jeez. Yeah, let's go Badgers, huh? All right, we'll go ahead, we'll get some Spotted Cow, maybe some cheese curds, and some beer brat.

Sounds great. What is that? To all heaven on earth, let me tell you, okay? We'll do that after the ship.

I freely admit that picking two different albums from two different bands that I like released in the same year is a bit of a cop-out, but you know what? I've done 10 years. I fucking earned it.

Yeah. No shit. Come on. 10 years, man. 10 years. Absolutely. So let's go ahead and celebrate the closing of that 10 years as we close out 520 fucking.

consecutive weeks of our goddamn lives to do this show while I invite everyone else out there to kick the fuck out of this week and make it your bitch while you enjoy the Linda Lindas with the song

Resolution Revolution, also released in 2023 on the Pirate Radio Edition. Dear Mr. Stiles, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice our whole existence in a pocket dimension for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think it's crazy that you...

you write our lives telling us who we are you wrote us as you wanted to see us in the simplest terms in the most convenient definitions but what we found out is that each one of us is a mad scientist and a con man shaman and a classic case

who's a desperate climber. And a stock-manipulating white supremacist criminal con man who stole every idea he claimed was his. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the fascist club. No, you do not get to pretend to be victims. All of you think about this.

Really stop and think about how much you hate me and imagine for a second that it was just you and the choices that you made, which ultimately dictates the life you lead. Of course, you don't want to be the one at fault for what happens to you.

you that makes you hate being alive i fucking get that i live that every fucking day now imagine an author trapped in a life that they can't fucking control because madmen are in charge everywhere now imagine that author has

lived like this for over 75% of their fucking life, and you tell me that I should write so your lot in life as a character doesn't suck?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm determined to have your brain. I'm determined to have your brain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

everything i tell you everything man that's so weird you get loud and your mic just drops you out just completely that is weird that booming voice it just can't handle it no fucking

I got all my drinks. I got all my legally derived hemp high supplies. Yeah. Not all of them, just some. Because I want to get high.

Yeah, I just want you to not sing. We're back to that again. No good. No deal. No deal. Recording in progress. It's in my soul.

I want to dance. You can dance all you want because I can't see you dance when we record over this like this. So I can dance if I want to? Yeah, you can leave your friends behind because if your friends don't dance, then they're no friends of mine. That's right.

let's just use that stupid energy and finish off these fucking 10 years with let's do it 10 year oh my god yeah all right here we go three two one

Still with me? No. Still here. Sorry. Yeah. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. What's the word I'm looking for? Effects work. Yes.

Thank you. Jesus. Phenomenal effects work. How much time do we have? Not a lot.

Fuck, I gotta come up with something. Never mind. Let's just go ahead and redo this. Now imagine that author has lived like this for over 75% of their fucking life and you tell me that I should write so your lot in life is a character.

doesn't suck fuck all of you look at who exists in my reality I have only reflected what I know and what I have seen in my fucking world if you hate the life you fucking lead in my stupid fucking sketches think about who it is

in my life you represent all of your choices and wanton cruelties are a fucking part of that you are an amalgamation of psychopath pieces of shit motherfucking assholes in my real world trying to murder us all you hate me for how i wrote you

and I fucking hate you for what you fucking represent. I will not apologize to you for the existence of these fuckheads who you parody in my fucking bullshit satire. You want to not be horrible people and not be suffering as characters who have done horrible things.

Find those who you represent and fix their hearts for them or suffer as they should and die like they hopefully fucking will. We are done here.

We are done. I may not be able to stop all of humanity from ever existing, but I will fucking burn everything here in effigy. Shut it fucking down. 10 years, man. 10 years. Absolutely.

So let's go ahead and celebrate the closing of that 10 years as we close out 520 fucking consecutive weeks of our goddamn lives to do this show. While I invite everyone else out there to kick the fuck out of this week and make it your bitch.

while you enjoy the Linda Lindas with the song Resolution Revolution, also released in 2023 on the Pirate Radio Edit. But we need to stop this so that we can stop recording. So let's shut it fucking down. Shut it down.

Shut it down forever. Shut it fucking down.

Recording stopped.
