Godzilla (1998)

Hey, it's your old pal Slim, and this is 70 millimeter of podcasts for film fans just like you. And with me, as always, is our close friend and artist, Danny Haas. Hello. And our close friend and spiritual advisor, Pertalexus. Ugh, you got this, Caffet! All of our France demographic just unsubbed. Every episode of this podcast is connected to a theme for that month, and this time, it's Fogist, where the Fog of nostalgia might cloud our memories. And now we want to see if it still holds up. So to close things out, we have a joint pick from the three of us. And that's Godzilla from 1998, Roland Emmerich. And you can use the chapters in your podcast app to skip to that discussion if you want. Robert in our community left review. Quote. The worst part of this movie is anytime two characters speak to each other. End quote. It's a bad news, because the movie is almost three hours long. FYI. Yeah. Three hours of Godzilla. Do you believe? I was telling Danny I found a making of documentary on YouTube that I started watching. It was like originally aired on the sci-fi channel. And it was like a VHS rip. So you could see like the tracking start to like fix itself. Safe space, I fell asleep watching that. A lot to get to this episode. Just going to lay it out for folks. We have a so good to get into. Oh my god. We have the cage pick. Cage picks are happening live. Part of we'll be drawing from one of those bingo cages for our next two to three supporting only episodes. We're picking we might pick three our next three. And those are submitted by our interns on Patreon. And then Godzilla, I guess. We'll get to Godzilla. I don't know at some point. At some point. I mean, we won't get into spoiler territory for a soko, but I need to talk to Danny about a soko. I forgot that it was even coming out. I've been ignoring everything. You're busy. But busy. I've been ignoring it. Like maybe it's probably going to be bad, right? Maybe. Maybe it is bad. I don't know. I mean, I watched it. I know. Do you know? If it is or isn't. But I honestly, I love the first two episodes. Well, we're getting into it right now. Yeah. Oh, opinion spoilers. So I watched it. I don't mean like here's the thing. It's pretty hardcore rebels related. It's like the rebels sequel season for the animated show, which I don't think I was expecting for it to be so hardcore connected to it. Were you? I wasn't expecting it to be so related to rebels, but it, I mean, it felt like we just finished the last episode of the finale and we just started right back up. I mean, it feels so close to rebels. It's pretty insane. Yeah. Part of you haven't watched any eye out of it, I guess. No, I have. What? Oh, my gosh, he kept it close to his chest. Yeah, I mean, it didn't sound like you were interested in my opinion, so you guys continue. Listen, you're a busy guy. I had assumed that you were just too busy to weasel in two hours of Asoka. I'm unless you were a passenger in a car for a few hours and you're like, I got to watch Soka Bay. What do people call me? What is my name? Do I need to remind you? TVNZ. The Star Wars insider himself. Yeah. So how did you feel sitting back and being again in a live action Star Wars universe? Remember, just for new listeners, we've been scarred from a dare I say, Kenobi. Hmm, very deeply emotionally and physically scarred. Can we heal? I don't know. So we were going in with low expectations. Yeah, low expectations. I watched the first episode and I started the second one. I was going to try to finish it off, but I was watching it with Theo, my son, and he was into it. So I wanted to wait for him to watch it probably tomorrow. I like the Storm Droids. Well, they took like the Stormtrooper helmet and put it on a jig. Yeah, brilliant, brilliant stuff over there. You know, I feel like I need to watch a Rebels recap on YouTube because I really, I watched that show, but I can now I can barely recall anything that happened. So even like the stuff with Sabina was like, what is going on? So I have no idea what's going on with from the Rebels. But when I heard, um, wait, can we just like say things that happen on the night things, but just make it one word? Can I say like a word? A word? What's the word? I don't know. We can play that. Dathamir? That's not a word. Yeah, when that happened on the episode, my glasses went down and my eyebrows went up. I've like, looking around the room like, like we're going hardcore lore. Like, yeah, this is like when I was watching it, I was like, thinking that this is like the stand-in for kind of, I'm not saying it's what I wanted, but this is like my stand-in for what I wanted from a Luke series. Like we're getting the hardcore Jedi lore that is almost like, it's like Star Wars 301, you know, we're like one on one. What's Boba Fett, 001? Like Star Wars lore, it's like nothing. And Mandalore is like a step up. Now we're like hardcore. This is like, you need to be on Star Wars Wikipedia. We'll keep you if you don't remember some of this stuff. So yeah, that stuff was awesome. The inquisitor. And yeah, when that first robot appeared in like that Jedi area and it's like leaning and it had the little like sand cape, that does whoever that designer is getting a raise big time. The robot lean. I mean, I will say after watching the first episode, I was only going to watch the one I had to keep going. I think the first two episodes that we got are leaps and bounds better than anything that gave us for Kenobi. Yeah, I think it's the best to soak this stuff too. I don't, I haven't loved any like, I mean, the live action or so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, I was about to. No, no, no, no, no, please. Nobody confused my statement there. Asoka is the queen of anything Star Wars in my opinion. Nothing comes close. So I was kind of like let down in previous live action Asoka. No, I do, I do think this is, it's going to be the, it's definitely going to be the better Asoka stuff. And I am warming up a bit to Rosario even though I'm like, can we just, can we get her out of the jinkos and the cloak? I mean, she looks so stiff. Yeah, we'll see you in a bit. I think that's how I look. I think that's my biggest gripe with what I've seen so far is for me, Rosario doesn't even really feel like Asoka. She just feels like another caution. Another Asoka. Yeah, it doesn't, like I don't buy anything about her personality or what she's trying to convey. She does feel seem very stiff and maybe it's the costume. I don't know. It's the costume, it's the headpiece. There's something about the way she carries herself as Asoka too that just feels not how we're used to Asoka and it's, it's going to take a bit to get there. Yeah, I thought she was fine in this and I'm really, I was actually more worried about Mary as Hera because we hadn't really seen anything Hera out of cartoon. I feel like both characters with the headpieces, it's hard to get past how goofy they kind of look in live action. But Mary's so good. I love her. I didn't realize she's married to Kenobi, the actor, Yuma Gregor. Right. Do you know that? Am I else know that? Wow. Yeah. Okipedia does it again. Okipedia. I die. The one thing I was like trying to like make a pass of why we don't like Asoka. And I guess you could say that this, it's been years since we've seen the Asoka that we know from Rebels and even that, even that Asoka is years removed from Clone Wars Asoka. So you could say it's like an elder. She's going to look good. Yeah, she's older. But not really though because we're kind of like right but up to Rebels. I know. Well, how about they, I've fertilized and finished the second episode, but how about the ending of the episode, the second episode? Damn. Damn. Also, this looks really good. I like the intro to the first episode where it's kind of that stark cold, almost 70s, like a movie set of a ship that felt like it could have been filmed when George was filming. It just looked, it looked like it meant to be in Star Wars. And I really liked that kind of touch. And I think Philoni did a good job directing that episode. Paul's asking, can someone who knows nothing about Asoka be able to jump in and watch? What do you think? I mean, no. I honestly think no. There's too much writing on the story of how Rebels ends that you may be lost a bit. You may be lost on motives of characters. Asoka's motive, you're going to be definitely lost on Sabine completely on why she feels the way she feels in this episode. And even her, you know, other things that would be spoilery if I kind of said it now. But there's just so much about, I would say, watch maybe the last few episodes of Rebels if you really want to just jump into the live action. But it's hard. You know, you're saying that. It makes you wonder why they didn't do some kind of like ketchup or background bit. Even with like almost like a narrator behind it of just doing like a montage of like big things that happen to kind of get to where we are now. I did like the scroll. Like the red scroll. I kind of like that too. I also love the little music that plays certain credits. All the music sounded great. Excuse me. And there were little like motifs of John's stuff to throughout it. That kind of like would lean into some Star Wars-y music. But I thought it all sounded good. I mean, there's a lot to kind of love about the esfer for what we've gotten for Star Wars live action. I think you can go into Asoka. It's just that you're enjoyment level would probably be magnified if you had any Rebels knowledge, whatsoever. Just because there's so much backstory for all these characters. I will say too that Sabine's backstory with Asoka is unknown to us as well in the time that has passed between Rebels and the epilogue at the last episode of Rebels. Because remember that epilogue is like years after the events of the final episode. So there is some stuff that even we don't know yet, which is exciting. Right, and that's yeah. That's why it's kind of a big deal. What we've seen is like the in between, which was kind of interesting that they did this. I love them that Inquisitor is Patawon too. The young girl, she looks pure evil. Yeah. Her posture is scary. Yeah, the way she carries herself is very Sith. She needs to see a chiropractor. She's like a Sith chiropractor. She's straightened out. Let's say hello to Craig who joined our Patreon this past week. He got access to our VHS Village Discord discount on Danny's prints. And interns, which is a tier of our Patreon, get to submit movies that we will cover for supporters only. I also should say that Spotify now hooks up with Patreon. So if you're like a Spotify listener and you've been waiting to join the Patreon, you can do that now. And we're almost at 400 patrons. Oh, no. By the way, remember Danny's promise that he made Excuses. Do the mocking, what's the series called? Mocking J Hunger Games. Hunger Games, movie one. Danny said we'll do it when you hit 400. Really? That was in blood. That was in blood. I don't really say that. We're at, I'm looking right now. We're at 399. As of recording on a Wednesday night. Okay. By the time this episode comes out to the public, it could, it could be over. Yeah. It's like my sub. We mentioned at the top of the show, Proto has been in control of this project, the Cage project. You know, where the interns submit their movies that they want to see covered. And like a bingo haul, Proto runs this machine. And draws a number. And those are the movies we're going to cover next for supporters. So we're going to draw three of those. We're going to get the schedule out right now. Three movies that are just be for supporters on Patreon. Proto, are you ready for this? Are we doing this now? Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's fire it up. Let's get it done. Get the Cage. Do you know what your sister's around? His part of the assistant is coming into the studio. Dropping off the cage, you can hear it right now. Oh, brother. Oh, you have to add a few balls. Excuse me. As what was the most recent one we did? The first one. Stranger than fiction. Right? Have you done any others? No. Was a fish called Wanda Cage pick? Yes. Oh, we've done so. Okay. Phew. Fish called Wanda and Stranger than fiction. Wow. We're about to amp up this journey right now. What do you want it to be? Do you even remember the list? I don't even remember the list. Part of it's been keeping. It's like, it's locked into seconds. It's like, Heroldo's safe. Heroldo opened that safe live on television. I don't remember anything about Heroldo. I don't know how you do. Maybe Dale and I will do an audio commentary and watch the Heroldo's safe opening live on television. Kevin Chats says it was Al Capone's vault. All right. Kevin agrees that this is a potentially good idea for auto commentary with Dale. Dale, if you're listening, we have to do this. All right. The first ball is being rolled. Oh my gosh, listen to you have our first ball. We have 24. Let me consult the list. Wow. Here we go. Wow. You're looking at the list. Let me be cheating. I'm not looking at anything. I'm just emoting. Emotions. Wow. How? Brothers got like take your take. What's going together? That would be right. Right. Stranger than fiction. 24. Our winner is Beck's Checks. Oh my god. Oh my god. And Rick is Ponyo. Whoa. Oh Ponyo. Ponyo is our next movie just for supporters. Yeah. That's number one. Can I use the Pony ball? I've never seen it. Oh boy. Ponyo. What a time. 2008. Hi, oh Miyazaki. Our second ball. A 43. List. I don't understand. I was list is set up. Okay. Okay. Andy Stone. Oh no. And his pick is Elite Squad from 2007. What is Elite? I have no idea. Is that a real movie? Some of the stuff. Elite Squad. I'm looking it up right now. Oh my heavens. In 1997 before the visit of the Pope to Rio Dijonero, Captain Nashimento from the special police operations battalion is assigned to eliminate the risk of the drug dealers in dangerous slum nearby where the Pope intends to be lodged. Excuse me. On the streaming. It is streaming. Both movies are streaming available on my favorite services. I have a few uses on my one. Andy doesn't have it. He doesn't have it logged. Andy doesn't even have it logged. Wait, no, yeah. No, this is Andy Stone. Andy Stone has it logged. Five bang from Andy Stone in 2020. Oh my gosh. No wonder this movie made Netflix green light narcos. So we're getting some backstory. Oh, this is good. This backstory. Okay. All right. And our final pick for the night. Roll the ball. Oh. 49. Oh, it's a late bloomer. It's back again somehow. Oh, this is from I'm going to mispronounce this. I just have this. It looks like Hosewa. His pick is treasure planet. Oh, oh my god. What treasure planet from 2002? Joseph Gordon Levitt. The hair on him. David Hyde Pears. Martin Short. The Holy Trinity. This hair. It's turning now in Disney plus. We got two animated films. That's craziness. Big nice. We got our next month. Two months planned out here. We got a lot of work to do. I'm going to start making calls. Oh my god. Okay. So those are our next three episodes just for supporters on our Patreon. FYI and the Apple podcast as well. Where do we go from here? Godzilla 19. Do we want to? That's the question. I do want to hear about beauty and the beast. Do you sell this in theaters? I saw a lot of job coming hot for this one. Recently, Disney's been re-releasing movies for their 100th anniversary. This week's... I don't know. I think it's every two weeks. They have a new movie coming... Our new old movie coming to theaters. This week's was Beauty and the Beast. And for me, for that era, this is the best Disney animated film. And it's the first movie I saw in theaters as a kid. So great time watching in theaters. It's a very good theater animated film. Had a great time. Casey and I saw it. Let's go figure. Watch this in four Ks. Is it four Ks? Disney out? I don't know about the Ks. Hashtag Gaston was right. Gaston. I mean, what's your take on the live action? It is important. It's one of the better of the live actions. But I think only because of how close it follows the animated film. I think the casting of Gaston was wrong. But it's fine. The best still is Cinderella. Cinderella. I forgot about that movie. What's this face in that? Chris Pine. Gus Gus. No, it's um, the other guy in some kind of princess movie, live action. That's somewhat confirmed this. Into the woods. The guy that played Bullseye in the Daredevil movie. Call him Farrell. Yeah, thank you. Princess Diaries 2. No, he's in some kind of Princess Worse is in the Huntsman. Pine is in into the woods. Okay, yeah, that's yes. That's what I'm thinking of. Thank you for you said that. Someone in the chat said I did thoughts. I think that it's Kate Blanchett. And the guy that was from Game of Thrones, I think. The lead actor for Into the Woods, according to the letterbox data is James Corden. Someone's someone's messing with the. Does it Merrill Street on it? James Corden is the star of that. Is that real? Josh says that's true. A lot of hate online for James Corden. He's like the most hated man in America. Really? Yeah. He's going off the grid. I don't have an opinion on James Corden. This is something I'm trying to enjoy more of. Lately is not having an opinion on something. Oh, you know, it's very freeing. I don't think it's possible for you. I don't have an opinion. Quote right there. I don't have an opinion. I'm enjoying not having an opinion. I feel like it's a rare thing in this day and age to not have an opinion, you know, hotter cold on something. Going to live in the gray area and the darkness. Part of you had an opinion on a clockwork orange and it was like a hot steaming dump. You watched this week. How'd that go? I stand with you, Proto. Oh, my brothers. My work orange. Stanley Kubrick. Yes. We all know his work. Icon. Let's see. When did this come out? This came out 70 after. Directly after 2001. Wow. So this is his follow-up. Then four years later came Barry Linden. So it's sandwiched in between these movies. All I really say about this is that I found the movie pretty ugly in most ways, not just like the way it looked, but like the story and the design and the composition. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know. It's a strange movie. It's very bizarre. And it wasn't for me. And you know what? I mean, people keep telling me that Stanley Kubrick isn't British. We have a clockwork orange. Holy British movie. And this guy's not British. He did investigation. Something's not adding up. The description of I remember seeing snippets of a clockwork orange when I was younger. Most of what I remember of clockwork are just, you know, drink from the Simpson's homages. No, my for various seasons. But I mean, even this descriptor on the synopsis. In a near future Britain, young Alexander and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. Oh, fire this one up. Please. Yeah. Would love to watch that. So you say that's not in still excitement. And just so everyone knows, this is a part of my AFI journey. That's why I watched this. You know, I had to continue on. Braveery. What number is this on the AFI list? 4.1 on letterboxed. It's looking wrong. My God. I'm looking at 2019 half-star rating couldn't finish it not for me, Danny. Yeah. Wow. I kind of just rough. I Malcolm McDowell is good in it. It's cool seeing him as a young feller. And find it on the list. Am I blind? We got to move on. It's number 70. Every week we give out a free year of letterbox patron. It's rid of ads. Get a backdrop on your profile. Get access to glorious stats of the movies you watch. Filter your favorite services. Let me read a review here. So Godzilla, do you want to be entered to win and tag your review 70 mm pod? Quote, I was 11 when I first saw this and I lost my mind in that theater. I was obsessed. This was it. The pinnacle of cinematic achievement. I was a moron. That comes from Justin Perez. So you just want yourself a free year of letterboxed patron. Justin. Part of you want to talk about your Ninja Turtles experience? You want to save that for the uncut? You make the call. No, I could talk about it. This was a very special occasion for me because this is the first movie that I saw with just me and my two sons. Albin has reached the age where he's now the appropriate age to take to a movie theater. I think he's sat in his seat for most of the movie. He let out a few yeeps at different points whenever he would go quiet. So he was definitely testing the fences in the movie theater. But he had a slurpee that down and we enjoyed the new Ninja Turtles movie. I loved it. I had a great time. Me and Theo have been walking around the house. I'll say all day saying, they will milk you. So I love that Jackie Chan, amazing. I mean, all the voice acting, Ice Cube killed it in this. I love just the, you know, whatever you want to get reimagining of the turtles that this movie went through. So four stars for me and a sweet memory. We're an IG post, you and the boys. Yeah, I think that might be my first IG post of the year. I kind of, I got to. Step it up. Can we speaking of your IG? Can we talk about this avatar, this like Facebook meta avatar that is designed to look like you? It's Jennifer Aniston. We get it. It's definitely Jennifer Aniston. It's like meta has not figured out how to design an avatar of a man with long hair. It just does not work out. I get like a jump scare every time I see it in my IG story. Honestly, it's like my favorite thing. I love it. I don't know where it came from either. I think I clicked on a tag by accident and it showed up. And I was like, what? That's me. And I've fallen in love. Every time I see it. Slime, you have to talk about one review because it's not. You actually wrote a review. Did I? From Dusk Till Dawn. Oh, God. Man, we've got a lot of episodes to get to. We're 30 minutes in and I mean, just get into your two-and-a-half-star review from Dusk Till Dawn. From Dusk Till Dawn. Why did you pick it? Man and I had a free few hours and I'm like, what are you watching? We try to find like a horror movie. And I saw from Dusk Till Dawn's on there. I guess I saw it on Max. And I was like, oh yeah, the Vampire Clooney movie. That could be fun. Yeah, I remember that being like funny and entertaining. God, it's long. It's Quentin Tarantino is in it. Everyone's seen the infamous famous scene of Quentin Tarantino sucking on Salma Hayek's foot. You know, with a liquor pouring down her foot into his mouth. Everyone remembers that scene. Amazing scene. It's like a wallpaper. But it's like, I don't remember. It's less fun than I remember. It's like 75% kidnap thriller. Because George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino kidnap a noted sex machine Harvey Kitell as described in previous episodes. He has an ass that won't quit. But he plays an elder, father, former minister, like vacationing with his kids. And they get kidnapped by George and Quentin and they're generally insufferable. And they have to make like one trip to this bar in Mexico to get their pay off. And as most people, I would assume know that when they get to this bar, it's like a vampire den. But it's, it just felt longer to get there. And then the kind of like exploitation vibe that maybe was funnier to me when I was younger. Just kind of sucks in that these scenes. It's like not really funny. Tom Savini is in it a lot. He plays, you know, the noted, you know, he's the noted special effects master. The master of special effects. I don't know, I just didn't do anything for me this time. Hopefully that doesn't upset anyone out there, you know? It should. From Dust Holdon. I mean, there's like nine of these movies. There are. Robert Rodriguez. Yeah, there's a lot of them. They made a bunch of sequels. Um, that in terms of fogus, the nostalgia fog is extremely dissipated from from Dust Holdon on this feeling. Party, when was the last time you watched this movie? I do remember watching this at some point. I don't know if I watched the whole thing. It might have been on TV. But I remember when the the vampires finally appeared. And I just thought they looked ridiculous. And it completely took me out of the movie. Yeah, I think I just shut it off. I just generally don't like Robert Rodriguez's movies much either. I just don't care for him as a, as a drug. I mean, I remember when I was younger, he was like an idol to me. Like when he did, El Mariachi, um, like he did it all himself. Like when I was younger, like I wanted to be like, like Robert Rodriguez. Like, oh, this guy's making his own movies. He's doing it himself. He's getting his friends to do it. And then he did like once upon a time in Mexico, which I remember liking. But then he like drifted into spy kids, like all ages movies for so long. And I don't know. He has just a very fascinating career trajectory. Need to find some deep dive podcasts on it. All right. Godzilla 33 minutes in. This is the last foggiest pick. There was a lot of buzz in our DMs and our episodes about, oh, man, it would really be funny to do Godzilla. What if? Um, so there's a 4k out there. I washed it in 4k. And, uh, save it for the show. We'll get into it in just a minute. I don't know what's this movie about. There have been over 2,000 atomic bombs detonated. Uh, but only the French managed to mutate a lizard to the size of a skyscraper. Nick Tatopoulos researches radiation mutation and is brought in to figure out what this amphibious menace wants. This Godzilla, who is a dude, needs to find a nest for his offspring and decides on the city that never sleeps. AKA the Big Apple AKA New York City. As the military works on destroying everything but the monster, Nick. His old flame in genre and no must work to locate the nest and stop the dawn of a new species at the top of the food chain. Matthew Broderick, you didn't mention Matthew Broderick. He doesn't even wear like a backwards cangle. What are those things are called? Cangle buries? You just walked out of Tommy Hillfrog. Uh, we talked a little bit about it last week. You know, I remember this being maybe one of my earliest memories of what a blockbuster movie was and I guess independence day probably was my first memory of that. But then this one was like even bigger. Like this is the biggest movie that has ever been made. Like I'm getting Burger King cups or toys. There's music videos. There's commercials with Godzilla in it. Like this is the biggest thing that has ever happened to me when this movie was coming out. So like a lot of my memories of this movie were not about the movie. They were about like the ad campaigns and the toys and all that's an ancillary stuff and that Matthew Broderick was in it. And then that's like that's kind of like all I remembered of this movie. Oh, the Puff Daddy song, Cashmere, inarguably better than the original. Led Zeppelin song. Some have said the homage that Led Zeppelin did. Loved when they homage Puff Daddy. Danny, what about you? I'm in the same boat. I think I remember having the whatever plastic cup that had Godzilla wrapped around it at some point either from Taco Bell or whatever chain was being promoted. But I felt like it was everywhere at this point. I remember I don't actually don't think I saw it in theaters though. Because I remember my first time was you know it was a big deal to have a surround sound setup. And I remember like one of my friends had like just set up this surround sound. And to show it off, we watched Godzilla 1998. So that was that's kind of my memory of it. And I think at the time I liked it, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what I really thought about it. I don't have negative thoughts about it. That's one thing. I remember trying to set up a surround sound in my house at some point. It was just such a pain to ask. All those wires everywhere. You're going to hang them out the ceiling. One of them dies. You just quit. It's like whatever. Yeah, I'll get away with that. I think my in-laws have like speakers hanging from their ceilings. I don't work anymore. They're just hanging. Display speakers. Yeah, basically. Perdo. I had a Godzilla t-shirt that was the eye, like the poster. No, I would wear that. And it was today. Yeah. Oh, it was $600 on eBay. It went into like the tie dye. Oh my god. I wore that shirt till it was literally shreds. Like my mom was like, you know, it was like the collar was disconnecting from the material. She's like, we got to get rid of this. Imagine Perdo's meta-avatar wearing that Godzilla t-shirt. Jennifer had a said wearing a Godzilla shirt. But yeah, I love that shirt. And I watch this movie many times. And I'm sure, I think my dad, this was one of the movies he would use to show off his surround system. Because I remember one of his go-tos, of course, was at the end of the end credits of any movie of just cranking the song. And I remember like cashmere just cranked in the basement many times. But puff daddy song is long. Like I sat through the credits too. It's like a force four-minute song. He's cranking it puff daddy. So my review actually was about the soundtrack. That was like the first thing I thought of. Because Jacob Dylan sang a song on the soundtrack. And then like, I'm sitting there with my basement. And I'm like, oh my god, the wall flowers. Jacob Dylan. 1996 breaking down the horse. So like, I start firing up the wall flowers music on Spotify. And I'm like literally transported to my youth. I was, I had my Toyota Tursell. Like, I don't know what year that car was. But you know, it was one of the, you could, I, one of my parlor tricks was like taking the key out of the car while I was driving. Like, hey, look how crappy my car was. I took the key out. And I'm still driving. Um, but man, there's some bangers on that album. Sixth Avenue heartache. Some. So yeah, I mean, there's like three or four bangers. One headlight. Okay. Um, one of Dylan's, uh, yeah, just, just an amazing album. So then I was on like the wall flowers. Wikipedia for maybe an hour after that. Oh, did you find out? I fell asleep during the doc, but I was awake on Wikipedia for the wall flowers. Um, so where do you want to start in our discussion for, for Godzilla, Proto? What's at the top of your list? Well, I'd like to talk about, you mentioned how, you know, a role in Emory also did Independence Day. And, you know, the, I think these two movies feel so similar in the way that they're produced, uh, the action. And I just got to say, there's something so warm and fuzzy to me. Like, I get serious nostalgia for movies of this era. This is just like my jam, right? So the way this movie looks, um, the, and the C, we can talk about the CG, but the CG makes with like the different practical effects and how every, it just, you know, every set feels like a set. Just, it doesn't now watching it. It doesn't feel that visceral. I think as it did as a kid. Um, but I still love the way that it feels. In the same way that I love the way that it feels when we watch Stargate, you know, it just kind of feels like you're on a movie set with so much of this stuff. But there's also like this level of, uh, professionalism too with it as well. That it doesn't feel like it's cheapening the movie, but it just, it feels noticeable. But I just, I just love the look and feel, uh, of this movie and movies of this era. Yeah. I, I agree because we talked about it. What was our last episode I remember? Um, it was a cloaking dagger or, well, what the hell would we do? Oh, it hasn't even been three days since I posted it to Instagram. And I can't remember. Um, but yeah, there is that fog that comes back in my mind like, oh, man, this is a big budget blockbuster phone I grew up and a lot of this is miniature. You know, like, yeah, with a camera going through Manhattan. And there's so much of that that is like exciting. That like, now when you watch a, uh, jarard, who's the action star? Butler, jarard Butler, Kyle Chandler, action star to the masses. Like, this is all CGI. And I, I, I, I, I, I feel like I'm becoming the old man yelling at cloud. But like, it's true. If you're watching a modern blockbuster today, a version of this that is like an American made one, you know, these buildings phone, it's all on computers. For the most part, like, they're not like making the miniatures really are. They're making miniatures and jarard Butler movies. Oh, I'm sorry. In this movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm talking about today. Like, you're not getting that kind of, you're right, you're right, you're right. Um, all those people are, they're, they're sitting at computers now if they're still doing it. Because my mind was blown after watching this film, I thought it was just, I, I assumed it was a CG fest. And I never really clicked until I wash a couple of the making of's, how much miniature work there was in this. The cities, 20-foot tall skyscrapers they built to film through. They had, they had a guy in a suit, like old, uh, Godzilla film style. Really? They had a full suit built for someone to walk around in and that god-awful design of a Godzilla. But one of my favorite sets, um, well, they built, they built the entire, uh, Mazin Square to blow up. But then the shot that we get where, um, they see all the eggs that have been laid in Mazin Square, that's a miniature gorgeous miniature. I need to see that in person. I couldn't believe it. There was just so much miniature work that, um, I think kind of gets overshadowed because of some of the CG work in this. And I kind of wish it was a little bit less. I don't know how they would do less, um, unless they get real campy. But, um, yeah. Hey, they blew up the god it. My name's Adam. Poor Hank is area. Yeah. And, you know, maybe that'll drift into this, this CGI aspect of it. I have like a great rest, like, well, first of all, the Chrysler explosion, like so many of those building explosions reminded me of Independence Day. Yeah, for sure. Like, you could tell that they were kind of like, amping it up even more with some of those explosions. I wish there was more of the miniature explosions because that Independence Day White House explosion. I mean, that's like iconic. You see that in your sleep, really. But, so yeah, like going with like the CGI Godzilla in 1998, like fully CGI, this is a safe space. In 4K, it's rough today. It's real rough. So then I was like, all right, let me watch the making of sci-fi special because this is a VHS rip. You know, I'm watching this is essentially what we would have watched when it came out. And I thought it looked pretty bad there too. Like, so I don't, I agree that the 4K probably enhances some of the CGI. And I remember last week who said like, oh, I want to watch this on tape because maybe that's, it still holds up. I don't even really know if it holds up on tape necessarily. I don't know what you guys think. I feel like I can remember this looking pretty janky back when I watched it in the early 2000s. So yeah, I don't know if it holds up because I think it is so early. And the, I think the thing that this really stands out, it's just like the lighting is so bad with the CGI. And it's, it doesn't help that every scene, it's dark and raining and they're trying to add this stuff. So much rain. That's another visceral memory I have. It's just it's raining all the time. I mean, can you imagine this Godzilla in full daylight? They had to be nighttime the whole time or rainy. No, no. Yeah, but I do love how they start the movie, how they hide Godzilla, even though they show so much of it for so long. It's like, it's not until like, I don't know, like 45 minutes in that you see all of Godzilla in like his full glory. There's so many of the at the beginning of shots of him just like sneaking around corners or you're just seeing his legs or his tail or whatever. I like that reveal. Hey, what did you think of the CGI of Godzilla? I mean, it's, it's bad. But honestly, I expected it to be bad. And I expected that when we watched it in 4k, it was going to be bad. So it didn't shock me. I think the most shockingly bad stuff is the baby Godzilla's. They looked horrific in Madison Square. Like, they looked like a video game. Bad. Like, I felt like I was watching, I don't know. What's that? Torrock? Was that... That was so hard, yeah. It was just, it was just awful. But I think my, a lot of the gripe, my real gripe about the CG is the design of Godzilla. I don't, I don't really like it. I don't like the T-Rex kind of aspect of Godzilla. I don't like a slimness, the very iguana. I know it's from an iguana or whatever. That storyline kind of turned into, I think my biggest gripe about the CG is really just the design of the small raptor, or the not raptors, but raptor-esque baby Godzilla's and the design of Godzilla itself. I think if we, if it leaned more towards the Toho classic kind of Godzilla look, like the kind of Godzilla that we got in Shin Godzilla, which is perfect. Jacks Medulla in chat is saying it's better than the Shin Godzilla design. No, no, no. Can someone ban Jacks Medulla from chat? It's not even close. But yeah, I think I couldn't be a past the look of Godzilla for such a long time. It's tough because I feel like, you know, you could say one of something someone could say is like, oh, the CGI is bad, but the story is like really good, but I feel like that's also a giant letdown. Like so much of this movie, it's a long movie, but there's just so much like running around. There's, there's, I'm like so zoned out by the end of this movie. I barely even remember what happened at the end, because it felt so long and like the CGI is compounded by the fact that like, I almost don't even care about Matthew Broderick. That much or his like love interest, who are the main leads with animal hankas area. So curious what we think about the cast, Proto and Matthew Broderick as the leading man. I think Broderick is charming in a particular way. I like, I was wondering like, what if this movie had Julia Roberts in it or Jeff Goldblum? Yeah, just different names in this in what we had, because yeah, the female lead, I don't even know who she is as an actress. I like her in this, but she doesn't have any like star power. But yeah, that whole story is, it's completely half baked. And watching it now, it's just kind of like, what is going on? It just feels like it's there because they need bodies. It's not like built around really the relationship. Like them, what she like, she steals the tape from him. And then she like, they've run into each other in the stadium. And then they're together at the end. But like, they didn't really have like, have any moments or really build any rapport or any believability. So yeah, you kind of just like throw that out the window for the most part. A funny thing though watching this now is that I remember seeing this. And as a kid, I had no idea who genre no was. So when I'm watching this, and he shows up at the beginning of the movie as this insurance guy, I just think he's like an insurance guy. I had no idea that this is like, whoa, this is a main actor. He's going to be a big part of this. So when he comes back in, I was like, the first time I had no idea that he was in the beginning of the movie because it just didn't even register for me. And it took me a few viewings that be like, oh, he's at the beginning of the movie. But watching it now, it's, you know, of course, it's so obvious. But I wonder, you know, if that happens, like, if my, you know, my son watches a movie and just doesn't recognize actors and when have the same experience. But man, I thought that was kind of funny. I found it odd that this movie had such a big impact, I'm not impacted. I guess blockbuster status was so few blockbuster actors like it. Yeah. It was really weird. I don't think even at the time, like to think about Broderick, I mean, if Broderick isn't doing something in the 80s, who's thinking about him in the late 90s at that point? I don't even know what he had done around that time. I mean, this is before, I think, producers, I guess. But it's like, it's really weird. And I watch, I watch Ferris Bueller too much just because it's a comfort movie. And gosh, so much of Broderick's delivery in this, I kept, I really thought he was going to look at the camera and break the fourth wall and pull some Ferris Bueller type comment every time he talked. There was, I couldn't disconnect that I was not watching Ferris Bueller chase Godzilla. I mean, it, my brain could not disconnect, disconnect the two. It was insane to me. I thought it was my mind. Kevin Chats says Broderick, Pettillo and Jean Arena were assigned for three of these. And I guess you could say that like, we saw how the Goldblum aspect worked so well for Jurassic Park. That like, you could probably say, like, man, could we replicate some of that with Matthew Broderick? Like let's get Ferris Bueller in one of these. Like imagine Ferris Bueller in a Godzilla movie and some executives were like, okay, yeah, that might be crazy enough to work. It didn't work, unfortunately. It's funny too because I was like, every time I kept thinking about it, I'm like, man, was this cement to be like a comedy? Like I'm supposed to be laughing at all this? Is it just not connecting with me? I was losing my mind watching this film. Like the mayor, like any scene with the mayor. Right. I mean, those are insufferable. Every scene with the mayor is like a joke scene. And I know they're apparently supposed to be like a jab at Cisco and Ebert. But even so, I just couldn't deal with those two. It's not. It was a different time. That kind of writing, you just don't see it anymore. I mean, you could say that like this is, you know, we're always talking about Jurassic Park. Like how did this work? How does a CGI work after all these years? This is like, what if Jurassic Park didn't work? And like every decision that worked for Jurassic Park ended up backfiring for Godzilla people. And this is just like a complete failure in most respects. Well, well, okay. I think it is kind of funny. How about the fish in the basketball hoop when they go with it? That's the evidence. That's the one thing. Product goes right too. Such a miss the fish in the basketball hoop slam. I mean, it's so stupid that the basketball would be right there. But there's so many things like that in this movie that you can't help but just laugh when he, when they're being okay. Yeah. Say it. Say it. I was going to say it. What's the speed of Godzilla? At one scene, it's outrunning Black Hawk helicopters. The next scene, they're out running it in a taxi. The taxi, turn around. Oh, there is. Turn around. Brought our turns around. And he throws out the taxi IDs. Whatever. Sergeant. Yeah. The Italian sergeant catch. And this is how they connect up in this. It's completely nonsense. I didn't even see that scene. I miss him showing the medallions because I remember that Dopey Corporal who another miscast this idiot, Colonel Pyle or whoever this guy was. He meets up with rubber. He's like, great idea with that. The taxi number man. He just looked at the taxi. Yeah, but the obvious fire. I didn't understand what was going on with that character in this movie. Just look at the side of the taxi cab. The number is right there. You could have done that also. Danny, what do you want to talk about Godzilla? I think one of the most shocking things for me is the story itself and not even like pregnant Godzilla. That doesn't mean. Of course, that kind of revelation was kind of like, oh, he, Broderick is doing a pregnancy test on Godzilla. I'm watching that happening right now. Like I wasn't having a fever dream. The idea that the French drop a nuke on an iguana. And to create this Godzilla. But then this Godzilla swims from French Polynesia to New York. Why? Like what drew this Godzilla around, I guess, South America? How did it get to New York? I want to know the swimming path because it kind of blew my mind that this went to New York. Because I kept thinking, oh, they bombed it in French Polynesia. This film, I guess, takes place in San Francisco. Like if it's coming to America, why would it go all the way to New York? Like I couldn't get over that the whole time thinking about why is it in New York? It's blowing my mind. Why not have some of those, you know, characters be from Japan? You know, like, connect it somehow. Well, like they've get the French out of here. No offense to the French are French. They attack the first ship. The first ship is like the Japanese fisherman. That was like their nod. I just couldn't deal with Jean Reno. I couldn't deal with his coffee comments like, oh, it's not the same as in France. That's gross. I thought they were bad guys. I thought the French were trying to steal the eggs or bring back Godzilla to France to fight. I don't know. I just felt like they were trying to use it as a weapon. But I don't understand why the French were there. Why did they have their SWAT team? I wanted them to go on. Also, I mean, we're talking about the helicopters and Godzilla's speed and how the helicopters were like also being chased or like, you know, they're scared of Godzilla at one point. Just fly up. All you have to do is pull up. Instead, they're navigating through Manhattan, the skyscrapers, idiots. God. That was when they shoot the Chrysler building. I could do that either. Did you hit? That's a negative. That miniature looks awesome. Also, the pier stunt and that guy was fishing. That's great. I need a documentary just on that shot and how they did that because that looked legit as hell. We need a whole lot more of that in this movie. Also, there's a one point where Manhattan is evacuated and broader it goes to get pregnancy tests. Are they in Brooke? Like, where is he? In Brooklyn or is he still a man? Like, why are people in New Jersey? I think. Oh, that's right. They moved to New Jersey. I mean, how far did he have to go? I mean, Godzilla is in Manhattan. Shouldn't you also be evacuating if you're in New Jersey? It's not that far. They can still up in tunnels. Godzilla can't swim, people. In 10 minutes, he could be stopping on you. You'd be dead. I love how Godzilla will walk through a building and the generals like, I don't know how to close them. Concrete, brick them up, seal them. I don't care. Whatever. Like, as if you're going to, what, you're going to lay down bricks like one by one and be like, well, why are you going to do that? Yeah, what company are you getting a hold of as Manhattan is burning that is willing to do construction that night and seal up anything? Acne brick company. Seriously. I will say the Tahiti looked amazing and I need to go to Tahiti. Like, all those scenes of them early in the movie where God's deliverable. Someone will fight you. Oh, God. Where you were, Maui, I'm always with you. I need to go back to Hawaii to Maui because that setting looks like, I mean, take your time. We'll get there. I need to support my friends and Maui. I've already, honestly, some of my, this is an aside, but all of my favorite IG companies that I get ads for have done like one day, like 100% proceeds to Maui. I haven't told, I haven't told Amanda about some of these purchases, but we've spent a lot of money going to support our friends in Maui. One of my notes is, in quotes, just fly up more on wire people still in New York's shopping. How about her taking the files from Matthew Broderick to further her career after their backstory? Woof. Big mistake. That's how he found out too, seeing it live. Yeah. I mean, does she just like leave after they do anything? Do you think they did anything that night? Did they do it? Excuse me? They had to. Do you mean after? They were, she's in his apartment. Yeah. Does she just like take this stuff and leave her, you know? Yeah, I don't know. It's been a stressful day. Got to relieve that stress somehow. Yeah. Anything else on my list? They broadcast live out of MSG. Yeah, this is where I start to check out, I think. The live broadcast from MSG, the running from the egg babies. Oh my God, the eggs. There's just so much that happens in this. I like that they took the time to show that they were setting up like C4 to blow up the eggs. And then that never happened. They never, oh yeah, they never used the C4 on the eggs. I don't even remember that. The egg stuff doesn't start. Like you're in an hour and 45 minutes in and you still have all the egg stuff. There's, but there's two chases with Godzilla. They really, I think the egg stuff is cool. Like you have to finish with that, but that middle section where they're chasing Godzilla again probably should have been cut out of the movie. Because you're ready, I'm ready for the movie to be over like an hour and 45 minutes. You're way through. They sink Godzilla in the river, but then you're like, you're looking at your clock. You're like, wait, the story's still going because that felt like a natural conclusion or that's where you end it. So it feels like they should have cut some of that, the middle chunk out. But it is what it is. I'm also like, they lose Godzilla. It's such a foreign idea to me. I guess it's raining and it's dark, but how do you lose Godzilla, Manhattan in the city? They didn't have cell phones. That's one thing I loved is that at the beginning of this. Yeah, imagining. If someone said Godzilla is losing the New York City at this time, you would need somebody down there with a videotape taping it and then like getting it up somewhere. Like no one's pulling out whipping out their phone. Like how long could it take to actually get live footage of Godzilla? Yeah, I was thinking about that too. I was listening to the Vietnam podcast and they were talking about movie screenings in the 80s and how they're screening like cuts of apocalypse now to certain people and how, I mean, who are those people going to tell? You could screen whatever movie you wanted in the 80s and only like 30 people are going to tell that story in 30 years maybe. That's not like going online and stuff. It's just so crazy how things are so different. I don't know what I wrote here. Oh, the music. I thought the music was also a big letdown. Like the score in general, there was nothing kind of like iconic about the score. Pretty forgettable. They couldn't get John Williams. What was he doing around this time? Phantom Menace Prep? Probably. Maybe. There was a dolly zoom on the cop. There's 20 dolly zooms. That's like rolling just figured I had to do a dolly zoom. He watched the jaws for the first time. Get the dolly zoom shot. Ready. I think that's how roll look. I don't think that's one other note. The font, the credits, like the color choice was terrible. I could really make out any text on the opening credits in the start of this movie. Oh, I love the opening credits. Lives in my mind. I actually like the opening credits. Not the text, but I like that a quick storytelling they do with the credits. Well, I think that was also one of the first times I saw an atom bomb. Like the at those explosions. So hydrogen. Yeah, that's all the same. That was really cool. Don't top a number. I don't have really anything else. Those are a lot of the my honorable mentions. So I'll give my final letterbox rating. It's one star. I didn't have a good time at all watching this. Like I can have a good time watching a bad movie. You know, I give high ratings for movies that are considered bad all the time. But my entertainment level watching this was like really low. It was kind of sucking the life force out of me, unfortunately. So that's me. Part of us beside himself with this rating is massaging his temples. Who do you want me to go next? Or do you want to go next? Just go. That's what Casey tonight. My my star rating. So it's it's also one star. And I'm sorry, Proto. I I fell asleep like twice. Like nodding off. Not like out. I saw the whole thing. But man, oh man. I did not have a good time watching this. I thought I would. My boy, Matthew. Run around New York in the 90s. Kangle hat. I did not enjoy this. The fog was not there for me. C.G wasn't washed over me. I'm sorry. Sorry, Proto. All right. We're covering each of my remaining points one by one. Okay. We're here for you. Matthew Broderick staying. I was standing inside of a footprint. That's right. We'll add in the clip there for you. It's delivery. There's something there's something wrong with that boy. One of the CGI shots. One of the things I love about the CGI. And to me, this is like endearing of how bad it is. Is that it definitely look like there was still a serious disconnect between whatever live footage was being done and what C.G was being put over it because the beginning where there's like a shot of a helicopter's flying around the shipwreck that Godzilla had ripped up, it just looks like the helicopters are flying through the ship. Yeah. Like in a circle, you can't really make heads or tails out of it. And then the stuff with the baby Godzilla's. There's one where the French guy is supposed to be like getting jumped on. But you can see that like the ropes are like pulling him through the error before the Godzilla gets on top of them. So there's just like a complete mismatch. And that happens so much with those. It just looks like there's like actors who are like, whoa, whoa, like sliding all over the floor. But yeah, oh, go ahead. No, no. I won't interject Matthew Broderick dumping gumballs on the ground to stop them. Oh, god. Oh, that whole scene. God, what are we doing? Slim, you mentioned that the pier scene, which I think is iconic. I love also the scene with the three ships being pulled down in the water. To me, there's like that comes on. I just, I love that moment. And there's so many little things. I don't know, like this whole movie just like brings back memories as I watch it. Matthew Broderick's lab, you know, it's on the go in a tent, but he had enough time to set up like 16 pictures of him and his ex. Yes. Yeah, him throwing out the taxi medallion is amazing. There was an amazing quote from Roland American, that doc. He said, it's weird, right? It's like, I'm watching a movie at one point. And that was like all he said. I don't know what it was in reference to. It was just so funny. What was his accent? Uh, Slim, please. No, thank you. Yeah, I think that the fog is still pretty strong for me with this movie. I had a great time watching this reliving this movie. It all came back to me. It washed over me. I'm at three stars. Wow, that's okay. There you go. I think it's good. Took this month is all about settling the score with our past selves once and for all. But Godzilla is in the past. It's Roland's third movie. I wonder if Roland will ever return. Feels like it to the pod. What's next? What else could we do with Roland? The Independence Day sequel. We could do the sequel. Yeah, they did a sequel. Goldblum. And I didn't know that it was him. That did it. Uh, uh, also speaking of Goldblum, I watched a clip on, I don't know what social network it was, but someone like played him a clip of the fly to him. So it was like where he's all effed up as the fly. And, you know, his face is huge. I guess it's like the last speech. And Goldblum is in the corner kind of like watching him act as the fly in his mouth. It's so fascinating to see Jeff Goldblum like watch himself act because his tongue is doing all sorts of wild things. Excuse me. Yeah. It was a pretty cool clip. You see this. All right. Um, we have a voicemail to get to, I believe, just check our starred items here. Uh, you can leave us a VM voice memo or an email at 70mm part at gmail.com. So let's hear from Josh. Hey, Slim, Danny Proto. It's Joshua here. Josh Siller in the discord. Thought that I would send in a short VM because I'm just really excited. You guys are ticking off another Godzilla movie, even if it's this one, even if it's this one, I mean some more Danny Godzilla art. Are you kidding me? Does it get better? Anyway, I grew up loving the Japanese Godzilla stuff. But for some reason, this movie just completely passed me by. I'm pretty sure my dad must have been shielding me from it. So I only first watched it about five years ago. And I've never really had any nostalgia or love for it to be honest. So I'm looking forward to hearing your guys' perspectives. But and you guys might have already gone over this. When this movie came out, it was just me. It was such overwhelming negativity that Toho, the production company and creator of the original Japanese Godzilla stuff came out and enforced that this Godzilla no longer be referred to as Godzilla. And they changed his name officially to Zilla because you know, he couldn't live up to Godzilla. And they even went so far as to have Zilla from this movie appear for a few seconds in a Japanese Godzilla movie. Godzilla final wars. And Zilla shows up. It's made to look like there's going to be this huge fight between Godzilla and Zilla. And then Zilla just gets completely bodied and destroyed and looks useless. And it's so funny. And that was my first ever introduction to him. I watched fighter wars before Godzilla. And it's just so good. You guys will have to YouTube. Godzilla versus Zilla. Yeah, it's the best. So there you go. There's your Godzilla trivia for the day. I can't wait to listen to the episode. Love the pod. Love the village. Love you guys. I'll catch you later. With that audio quality. Sounds great. Josh. It's like he has a podcast. Does he can listen to podzilla go through the the gods of the official Godzilla journey, not our American trash trash. So listen to Josh's podcast. I remember James had grown up being really into the Godzilla movie. So I have seen that. And I remember that fight and Toho treating the American version like a total joke. But I remember also liking the Netflix anime. Godzilla that had come out a couple years ago. There's like a couple movies that jump times. Maybe Josh remember what those are called. But one of them takes place in like modern day. And then the sequel takes place like 100 years later. And then like further down the line. Like yeah, I liked it. It was pretty pretty interesting. There's just so many versions of Godzilla you like jump in. There's no like definitive. There's only this storyline. That's a okay. All right. Next month. I think we're still workshopping the name. Femtember. Is that green lit? I don't know. 70 millimeter loves women month. I don't think that's added. Movies directed by women. Women directors month. We still have some time to settle this. But that is what we're doing for September. And Danny is going to be leading us off next week. Your pick. When we first talked about this. I had kind of settled on this pick. And then yeah, so I don't even know how to I'm not even just and then Barbie happened. Okay. Okay. So we're going to do 2019's Little Women by Greta. I love this film. And I don't think I like my first review of it was gushing and how I wanted to see with my daughters. My daughters have watched it quite a bit. And I haven't really I need to I want to revisit again. I know how much I love this film. So I'm ready to talk about it with the three of you. I know Proto's nostalgia for the 1994 version kind of waves over him a bit. But I just I was already leaning towards this. I thought about picking something. Maybe we haven't seen or direct. We haven't covered. But there's something about this film that is drawing it back in. And Barbie kind of solidified the fact that I wanted to do another Greta. Greta back on the pod. Bob Oh Odin dark back on the pod. Greta trying to unseat Roland Emrick. His crown from this podcast. Four sisters coming of age in America in the aftermath of a civil war. Little women 2019. Swarza. Florence. Emma. Sersha. Lara. Eliza. Merrill. Bob. Big cast. Big Timothy. Timothy. This is the role that set it all off. For Timothy. I don't know. We don't want to talk about Timothy. This is not Timothy Month. The women. We're not even we're not even going to talk. I'm not even going to say his full name next week. Thank God. I don't even know if you have not a pronouncer. Boy, I'm excited to rewatch this. I've not seen it since it came out. 4.1 on letterboxed. Big a lot of five bangs in my friends group here. It's like all fiveers. Yeah. The one that's 4.5 as our disgraced producer producer Ian. Oh my god. I have 170 friends that have seen this movie. Let me sort by rating lowest first to see who I can make fun of. Alex. Oh Alex. Alex. I'm going to be seeing Sunday at our local mini meetup.
