episode 321: Godzilla Minus One (2023)- Kaiju Sized Roundtable Discussion
Byrd, Matt, Kevin, Lux, Trev, and Tom assemble for a sprawling mega-sized, in depth review of Godzilla Minus One. Toho's latest entry in the franchise is a reboot taking place in the 1940s, as Japan rebuilds after World War 2. It follows Koichi, a former kamikaze pilot with survivor's guilt and PTSD as he struggles to find his lot in life and confront his trauma, as the H-Bomb mutated dinosaur called Godzilla emerges and devastates Japan. Our kaiju-sized crew of hosts discuss their feelings on every aspect of the film, as well as our varied interpretations of the subtext and themes within it. So what did we think? Relax and find out! But first we also give our thoughts on the new trailer for the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire!
