EP 72 - GODZILLA (1998)

"THAT'S A LOT OF FISH!" *AUDIENCE CLAPS, CRIES, AND THROWS UP* Near the end of the Heisei Era -- and supposedly Godzilla in general -- Toho decided to see what Hollywood could do with the King of the Monsters, selling the filmmaking rights to Sony's TriStar Pictures. What started off as a promising and faithful project helmed by Jan de Bont soon spiraled and degraded over the course of five years into the disrespectful and abysmal adaptation helmed by Roland Emmerich. This film is one of the quintessential cases of Hollywood's infamous handlings of preexisting IPs, and it's finally time for us to see how bad this barrel of fish stinks. So, come watch with Brian and Alec as they revisit one of the most infamous blockbuster adaptations of all time, Godzilla 1998!
