201: Godzilla (1998)

June 9th, 2025

LISTEN NOW

We’re back from our little break, and we’re back discussing the King of the Monsters. This version, however…not much of a king. Way back in 1998, Toho handed the keys to the kingdom over to TriStar Pictures to see what America could do with their everlasting, incredibly malleable kaiju, and what we got was a less than stellar representation. Godzilla is worse than you remember, and it’s a damn shame. Hear what we have to say about it as we discuss the film, as well as conversations on Audrey’s many, many capital offenses, Zilla’s disdain for all forms of transportation, and so much more with noted Godzilla fan Michael Moss.

Godzilla (1998) stars Harry Shearer, Kevin Dunn, Vicki Lewis, Matthew Broderick, Arabella Field, Jean Reno, Doug Savant, Michael Lerner, Malcolm Danare, and Maria Pitillo. Directed by Roland Emmerich.

WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE PATREON THIS WEEK

Back in 2009, the CW4Kids produced a crossover event celebrating 25 years of the teenage mutant crimefighting ninjas of the turtle variety that left the TMNT community somewhat divided. The loveably, wacky turtles you grew to love way back in the ‘80s met their upgraded counterparts to tackle not one but two Shredders. Turtles Forever is a fun time, and that’s all it needed to be. It doesn’t revolutionize the franchise, but it served as a nice little pat on the back to Eastman and Laird. Tune in to hear us discuss this momentous occasion.

Paid members of the Patreon can get this commentary (both with and without the film's audio) for free in our shop here or for only $3 for you free and trial members.

I'm not gonna talk about Judy. In fact, we're not gonna talk about Judy at all. We're gonna keep her out of it.
