Season 3: The Boys Go Monster Mashing
Episode 14: THICKZILLA RISING
Hosts: Matt and Joe
Movie: Godzilla (2014)
After the ahem divisive 1998 Godzilla left fans reeling with its lizard-like imposter, the King of the Monsters finally returns in all his thick, thunderous glory. Gone are the days of scrawny, fish-loving pretenders—2014’s Godzilla resurrects the towering, atomic-breath-blasting behemoth that fans have worshipped for decades. But is this a triumphant return, or does this slow-burning monster flick leave us stranded in the rubble? Is Godzilla a hero? A villain? Or just a dramatic diva waiting for his cue? Matt and Joe break it all down, sifting through the MUTO mayhem, human melodrama, and city-stomping spectacle to decide—does Godzilla (2014) reign supreme, or is it a GIGANTIC letdown?
