So what happens when a franchise's first director - in this case Guillermo del Toro, who had a pretty surprising film that worked out well - steps back to just a producer role and the guy who's done, well, episodes of Daredevil (yey) and episodes of... Spartacus: Blood and Sand (huh? But it has a colon like this movie does, so yey I guess?) steps in? You get Pacific Rim: Uprising, which takes the concept of robots and monsters from another dimension and does... well, did we like it, is what you're asking? Does another multi-million dollar extravaganza that is essentially Robot-Jox on steroids live up to its potential?
Sadly, Korey couldn't be with us this week, no (recently-deposed) Andrew, so Jack has his first podcast in a year with just Guest Star Matthew Catania of the blog with the link below. We get into spoilers about 29 minutes in (just listen for the easter-egg Ron Perlman Kaiju commercial, which is a real-Fake thing we found on YouTube! Meaning he did do it, but it's for a goof from the original Pacific Rim).
