Nobody who likes Godzilla likes “Godzilla,” the mega-budget Hollywood monstrosity that made more money from its soundtrack than from box office returns. The guys behind “Independence Day” traded all their audience goodwill for a “fresh” new take on the famous movie titan, and by “fresh,” we mean borrowing cool parts from “Jurassic Park” and making them infinitely shittier.
More than 20 years later, Tyler and Angela revisit one of the most notorious bombs of the 1990s. What they find is a movie that’s both terribly fascinating and fascinatingly terrible. Matthew Broderick is a worm scientist. Half the cast is comprised of “Simpsons” characters. Puff Daddy made an equally terrible music video! Plus the hats! All the characters wear weird hats.
Also discussed in this episode:
- Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
- Rocketman (2019)
Our discussion on 1998 “Godzilla” begins at about the 11-minute mark.
