EP 78 - GODZILLA (2014)

"LET THEM FIGHT."In 2010 -- 12 years after America's last failed adaptation and 6 years after Japan's final entry -- Legendary Pictures (and by extension Warner Bros.) proudly announced that they had acquired the rights to make a new Hollywood adaptation of the King of the Monsters, releasing a faithful piece of concept art in tandem. However, what started out and was advertised as a film seemingly in the same vein as the original 1954 masterpiece turned into a clashing of tones and eras that would become the first chapter in a new cinematic universe, and the general opinion of the final product is as varied as you'd expect. So, 10 years later, how does it hold up? Come watch with Brian and Alec to find out as they continue the Godzillathon by revisiting the first entry in the MonsterVerse -- Godzilla (2014)!
