Have You Seen: Cloverfield (2008)

from Eye of the Storm Movie Podcast · host Daniel Gawron

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.This week we revisit Cloverfield, a 2008 found footage kaiju movie directed by Matt Reeves and starring Lizza Caplan, T.J. Miller and Mike Vogel, about a group of Manhattan friends who have to survive a monster attack and rescue a trapped friend.We talk about how some movies just stick with your if you watch them at the right time, how Cloverfield provides several creative set pieces that hold the movie together which is something many modern movies are unable to do, how the movie uses its found footage conceit and handles its exposition better than most movies, the 9/11 influences on this movie and how it is the only American kaiju movie that is about something, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast
