Tune in next week when our movie will be... Underworld (2003) ----- Godzilla vs Los Angeles is coming out in hardcover! You can get it wherever you get books, but Jordan wants you to please TELL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY TO GET A COPY!

This is free with ads, the podcast that asked the question, why pay Apple TV plus 12 bucks a month to watch Godzilla smash stuff in Monarch, Legacy of Monsters, when you could go online for free and watch a Godzilla Battle Royale that may not have cutting-edge CGI, but does have the most impressive special effect of all. The Imagination of a Young Child. I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is All Monsters Attack, the 1969 Godzilla movie that proves that anything can be family,

even a small boy and a chubby lizard whose size changes from shot to shot for no discernible reason. With us, as always, is the super producer, the he freak Matt Lieb, hitting us with those childlike drops. Baby, baby, baby. Wow. Hell yeah. Remix master over here, baby. Yeah. I got to tell you that I'm...

Two drops in one. That's right. I'm in the process of learning how to use Procreate on my iPad. Hell yeah. I'm obsessed with my iPad because I just got an iPad. But I'm drawing like our new T-shirt design. Yes. I'm choosing which like stings to include within the shirt design.

And I think a baby, baby, baby is going to have to be in there even though I don't want it to be. Like I don't want it in there. you have repo to the genetic op. Also, because it fits really well in the design. Like structurally the font like fits and I'm like, fuck. I'm going to have to put it in there. Yeah. Before we talk about this movie, which is as of this recording streaming free with ads,

we're going to talk about something else we saw for free on the internet this week. Emily, this is from something that you threw in the group chat. There is a website. Prop store auction.com that auctions off movie props for movie fans. And this website is blowing up because they have a lot of really impressive props for sale. But the thing that everyone is interested in is the fake rhinoceros from Ace Ventura 2 where Jim Carrey comes out of its butt.

You could buy that rhino and have it in your home and come out of its butt anytime you So far the price is like shockingly low. No, no, no. Okay, Emily, I have an update. I have an update for you. So yeah, I was browsing around this website and I'll have a little quiz based on this website. Okay, okay. So, so, you know, there's a lot of, there's a lot of crazy stuff on this website, like stuff that nerds would want, fans would want.

You can buy Thor's hammer on this website. You can buy like Star Trek weapons. The Rhino is now at $20,000. Oh my God. That is still so cheap. It's a steel. That's a steel. I'd buy it. Yeah, it is like, it's like one of the most expensive things on the website is shot up past the Marvel stuff. It's shot up past the Star Trek stuff. Yeah. It's so huge that you can slide out of its butthole.

And I hear that is actually where Jim Carrey clones come from. Oh. I believe that. That's why there's this new Jim Carrey around. He came out of the rhinos button. You can make your own. Can I just say that I will ignore that information about his. his weird plastic surgery forever. Yeah. That doesn't exist. Don't talk to me about it. Do not talk to me or my daughter ever again.

He's... My daughter... My daughter is Jim Carrey's face. He can do whatever he wants to his face. He's a legend. Exactly. That's how I feel about it. But I already texted my...

It's in the family, the Fleming family group chat. I sent this to the family and I went... I now know what I want for my 40th birthday. birthday and I said that no one has responded. They don't want to, yeah. They want it to be a surprise. Sure, sure, that's it. That's it.

It's not that they don't even want to jokingly acknowledge that you want this. I mean, as problematic as when nature calls is, that was something I have never laughed that hard as like a 12 year old girl. It's objectively hilarious. It's objectively hilarious when he comes out of the rhinos butt. It's one of the few victimless crime jokes in the, oh, yeah,

100%. We can all get behind that one. Yeah, everybody thinks this is funny. But did you see some other things in there that you wanted to talk about? Yes, so here's what I thought we would do. I have a bunch of other props in here, most of which are from movies we've covered on the show. Hell yeah.

I'm going to ask you guys if you would guess the prices, the closest wins, and there's an actual prize today, guys. Usually when I prepare a quiz, it's just for bragging rights. But I was at a wonderful book event a couple weeks ago. I was at Books with Pictures in Eugene, Oregon. Some very nice free with ads listeners came to the event. Bought some comics.

They did. And they gave me something for the group. And I thought for the winner of this quiz, thanks to Free With Ads listeners, Joe and Maddie. the winner of this quiz will get a $25 gift card to Buffalo Wild Wings No but no Jordan We can't take that away from you

That's yours No no no I this is for y'all I'm at Buffalo Wild Wings enough And they did say it was in a card Saying it was for everybody Jordan you live closer to one than any of us Emily if you want to forfeit You can forfeit me

I'm trying to win I'm trying to win this. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I want these buffalo wild wind. This is great.

Okay. Question one. So I'll go, I'll go back and forth and then we'll have a tiebreaker. Okay. I love this. Actually, no, never mind. Actually, that doesn't work. Okay, here's what we're going to do.

You're each going to guess. You're each going to guess. And then closest gets it. And this isn't a price is right thing. So you can go over. Okay. Okay. Emily, you'll go first.

Okay. The Helders helmet from Alien versus Predator. What do you think the price is currently on the website? It could go up, it could go down. But right now on the website, what is it? Oh, my God. This is crazy. And this is the same site that the rhino exists on.

Yes, so you can buy the butt rhino and the predator's helmet. You'll be to combine them. And have yourself the greatest honeymoon of all time. Could you imagine coming out of the butthole with the predator's helmet at the same time? That's how the predator would kill the rhino. And then going, will you marry me, Martha or something, like whoever that nerd's name is? She's going to say yes. It's for sure Martha.

I don't know why I said Martha. Martha's a good nerd name. I know. Batman's mom and Superman's mom. So judging by the fact that the rhino is 20,000. Yeah. And maybe no one gives a shit about that movie at this point. I think based on the fan, the fandom of Predator, including Jordan Morris's, like, as a writer of the comics.

Of course, yes. I'm going to say that this is $38,000. $38,000, your guess. Matt, what's your guest for the Predators helmet? To be clear, it's from Alien versus Predator. Yes, the first AVP movie. Yeah.

Good to clarify. The one that we love, but maybe you know what else looks. Some say is the best film in the franchise. And that maybe people do not think is canon. Yeah. I mean, I think the reason that the Ace Ventura rhino is $20,000 is because it is full on rhino size. So I think this is less than that. I'm going to say $1,500.

What? Matt, you're closest. It's $2,500. Oh, I'm going above a wild wings, baby. You got me, dogs. Okay. You got to. Wait, $2,500, I could max out my American Eagles credit card again.

I thought about it. Emily, you might have to fight me for it. I'm so close to paying it off. Okay, so Emily, you can still come back. Okay. The next object, Frazier's phone. The phone that Frazier answered in the radio station. Jesus Christ.

Fraser, we did a bonus episode on it, Maximumfund.org slash join. Matt, you want to go first? How much for Frazier's phone currently on the auction? site. People love sitcoms. Like, you know, like we talk a lot about Marvel guys or whatever and like, oh, a bunch of nerds, but sitcom nerds exist and I think they're worse. So I'm going to say, I'm going to say $300. Okay. Emily, what do you think? Okay. Real quick, could you tell me what it looks like? Is it just like a wall phone? Is it like? Is it red? No, it's not like Batman's phone. It is, it's just like a, it's, it's just like a, it's, it's just like a, it. You know, it's the phone he answered in the radio station. So it's just kind of like a phone that would be in an office. So, yeah.

Because like when I think in my head that it might be, it's like it might be one of those like old timey phones. Oh yeah. Old timey phones because he's so pretentious. Right. Which is cool in its own right. I'm going to go with 600. Okay.

Emily, you are closest. The Fraser phone currently $3,000. Are you fucking kidding? It's more than the helmet. More than the predator helmet. See, I told you about these. sickos. These sitcom guys, they are obsessed with shit.

But let's be real, the average Frazier, like, fan is probably richer than the average Alien versus Predator. That's probably true. That's probably true. That's a good point. That's a good point. But I don't, that's amazing. That is so great.

I can't wait to see. I just, like, set this in the group chat to be like, he-ha, butthole, like, you know. Yeah. And then Jordan, Jordan's going to make a game out of it. Well, I didn't know there was a full-on website where you can look all this up. It's fascinating. They have all kinds of cool shit. I'm so excited.

Oh, wait. It says Planet Hollywood collection is like what this was. So I think what happened was when Planet Hollywood's closed down, this website got all their shit. So I think all this stuff at one point or a lot of it was like up in Planet Hollywood's in like the Dallas airport or whatever. That's right. Which is fascinating because it was like Schwarzenegger and Stallone like a bunch of these celebrities came. together and Spielberg too right wasn't that Matt Spielberg's restaurant was dive I'm thinking of the submarine restaurant I'm thinking about the dive you're thinking about that but like it was a submarine

themed restaurant it was one of the stupidest things you've ever seen but like you know there was a planet Hollywood in Nashville when I was a kid and I've talked about this like I had a birthday party there as a kid and because I'm spoiled rotten truly but there was an ace ventura virgin like cocktail that I got that had like coconut shavings in it and stuff but the planet Hollywood in Nashville had the train from Casper that would like go around the train from Casper oh my god the model train and it was amazing and I expected when I went to Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Hotel to see some fucking props and there are none there's like nothing it's such a disappointment.

And so I'll never stay there even though they say it's a very good hotel. Yeah. And the one in Hollywood, they had the baggies of cocaine and heroin that killed Chris Farley. So you could get that. Shut the fuck up. I was just kidding. He's in a glass case. Yeah.

They had the car that killed Paul Walker. Like, what the fuck? Right next to Frazier's phone. From his office. But wait, did either of you go to Planet Hollywood's in your lifetime? Oh, totally, yeah. There was one in Orange County and that was a big deal. In Orange County.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, sure. How many, like, there were multiple locations of California. They're like hard rock cafes. They used to be fucking everywhere, except for the food was just so bad that no one wanted to go anymore. It was a novelty type thing. So was a hard rock cafe, but it's just good enough that people continue to go to it.

And also, I feel like hard rock cafes are lies. I would go into, I've been in multiple hard rock cafes. And they all have Kirkcombein's fucking sweater. Come off. Yeah, I think maybe, yeah, these places, at least some of these things are replicated. I think of hard rock cafes as a place to watch music in places that have nothing else to do. Like, I go to Fort Lauderdale once a year with my girl who does my hair. Oh, yeah.

And I'm like, is there any means? music to go see or something. And she goes, there's a hard rock cafe. And I went, well, there it is. Yeah. And they have like a cover band or something. So it's kind of a fun night. Okay, it's one to one.

The next item. The next item. A penguin with a missile strap to it from Batman returns. No. Emily go first. A penguin. These are still available. These are still available as of this, as of this recording.

What is the current price? Can I ask a question? Yeah. When does the bidding? end? Like at what point? Oh, great question. I don't know. Do you want to pause and shop? Do you want to Should we pause the recording so you could bid on some stuff? No,

no, this is bad. I'm getting out of debt. Y'all got to like keep me from, you know. Emily, don't buy the penguin with a missile on it from Batman. I mean, unless the fans want to help me like be bad, no. We need a few more jumbotrons for that. We need a few more

jumbotrons for that. Yeah, we got to, yeah, we got to get some more jumbotrons. It's true. It's true. Anyway, okay. Do you want to make a guess? Okay, is it just kind of a, like a statue or is it like an animatronic? I think it's like a puppet. I think it's like a, you know, it was a working puppet that, you know, had the missile. I'm going to say that this has got to be worth more money than the rhino personally.

I think that this is a like a piece of amazing cinema history. personally, I think this is worth $45,000. Okay. Matt, Emily's guess is $45,000. I think that's a lot of money. There's a lot of sicko freaks who also really like Tim Burton Batman, a lot of goth girls. Hello, that's me. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

But I don't think it's that much. I'm going to go with $10,000. Okay. Matt, you are closest. It's $4,000. What? Yes. I know.

Sorry, I yelled into the mic. Matt, you're going to have to do some work. It's okay. It's worth it. Don't worry. I'll do the edit while eating those Buffalo Wild Wing. Oh, shit. Y'all get on it.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Emily two, Emily two, or actually, Matt two, Emily won. Yeah. Yeah. This next, this next item. I'm still going, huh? Yeah, okay, we got five total, so two more.

We got one more and there's a tiebreaker. Okay, I thought there was three, but let's go. Yeah. One of the clown heads from killer clowns from outer space. No fucking way. Wait, wait. Yo, those double up though, because those are also the gremlin heads or whatever or the... From the trolls from...

The trolls from Ernest Gared Stupid. Sure, yeah, so it's two pieces of memorabilia in one. Matt's got the first guess here. But maybe this was, I mean, you're looking at the image. right Jordan? Yes, yeah. It still has the clown makeup on it. It does, yeah, so this has not been retrofitted to be a troll.

Okay, okay, okay. It is pristine. It is, oh, gee. Never messed with. Ooh, clownhead. I mean, honestly, who the fuck wants this? $500. $500.

I just cannot imagine. I can't admit. Emily, what's your guess? Okay, based entirely on the fact that these things were reused. as practical effects for other movies, and you could do that with this. Okay. I'm going 18,000.

Jesus Christ. Emily, you're closest. It's $12,500. It's one of the most expensive things on the website. It is cult movie history, man. I know. There's fucking clowns that goes out there. I hate all the sickos.

Because also it's the most recognizable thing. Like if you have a penguin with a jetpack on it, they go, you bought like a fucking penguin from a prop store and put it on their book. Okay, okay. But you can't, I mean, if you have that in the house, you're going to go, wow. Yeah, people, I guess, if they know the movie, they immediately know it. But I mean, come on. That's cool.

That's cool as hell. We got a tiebreaker question for $25 to Buffalo Wild Wings. This is not a movie we covered, but I thought this was so fucking rad. Okay. Wilson the volleyball. Shut up. Oh my God. From a castaway.

Well, that's got to be. Emily, you got the first guest. Wilson, the volleyball. Here's the thing. I think that is one of the most, like, easily replicable props where it feels like who gives a shit. But it's real, right? It's the actual Wilson, right?

How can you tell? Yeah. I don't know what their authentication, you know, processes like, but they are advertising it as the real Wilson. I guess I'm thinking about what was the reality show where you go to the like the pawn shot, like pawn. Pawn stars. Pawn stars.

Or Antiques Roadshow. Or Antiques Roadshow. Or what's the storage wars, which the lady I worked for at the bone store. She was a regular on storage wars, just so you know. I'm going to go 8,000. For Wilson? For Wilson.

Matt, what's your guess? This is, this has got to be, it's actual Wilson. It is advertised as actual Wilson. But I think there's multiple Wilson. I mean, I'm sure they use multiple wilsons, just like they use multiple babies. Like the Ruby slippers.

There were multiple ruby slippers. Of course. But even just like, you know, say there's 10 of them. What is this the best? Wilson. This is, well, is this, okay, let me ask you this, because there's obviously multiple Wilson's.

First, Wilson, is just a hand with a smiley face put in it, a blood hand. Later, Wilson, he has hair made. This has hair. So, yeah, this is like far on Wilson. Yeah, he's like made it into a guy. I didn't ask good questions. Yeah, well, you're not a castaway real head like I am. Oh, okay, okay.

That's why you host the podcast away, man. That's right. That's why I let this podcast away. Pod yourself a cast away. Oh my God. That's such a good. So good. I'm sure blank checks said that at some point.

It's got to be worth, it's got to be worth $200,000. That's my guess. 200,000. Emily, what was your guess? 8,000. And Matt, yours is 200,000? Yeah. Jesus.

You're both way off, but Emily is less way off because it's $75,000 for Wilson. Are you fucking kidding? Current bid. So it could go up. $75,000 for Wilson. Emily, you are the winner of $25 to Buffalo Wild Wings. Can I say I'd like to donate this Buffalo Wild Wings certificate to one of our Max Fun members. That's a great idea.

That's a great idea. How about this? This is fun because we were talking about this. The Max Fund drive is coming up. And we, Emily, this is kind of something you're spearheading. We're putting together a little gift. pack for Max Fund members. So, Emily, if you're okay with that, we are slipping in the Buffalo Wild Wings gift card.

Maximumfund.org slash join. You can join now and still be eligible. So get on there. We got a prize pack for you coming soon. Very cool. Okay. We have to talk about destroy, sorry, not destroy all monsters, all monsters. All monsters attack.

That's right. There's another Godzilla movie that I mistook the name for. But before we talk about that, Emily, you have a little update. Your mom was mad about the bird. Burbs episode. Can you take us through it quick? Well, I think that sometimes I black out. Sure. Okay, listen, somewhat at the beginning of the Burbs, we were talking about heat, like the movie

Heat, which I talked about being a movie that if you put it on your hinge profile as one of your favorites, men will come a running. And I said that I don't want to watch it. because hot-ass Val Kilmer is in it. Right. And I have to watch it without his dick in my mouth. That's right. I remember that. And your mom didn't like that?

No, she did not. But she likes the other stuff that happens on the podcast. That for some reason was too far? I don't know. But my sister and I were texting because I didn't know who the fuck is picking me up from the airport tomorrow. Sure. Sure.

And I'm like, why is no one texting me back in the family? The whole family's mad at you? I don't know. I think they're all just busy. But I just started texting my sister and she goes, mom's just drunk right now. So why do you think it's the Val Kilmer thing? Because there's,

I think there's a few things. Because Bryn was like, there's a few things. But she's also looking at this clip where you talk about being horny. And I'm like, can you tell her to stop. This is why I tell my parents that I don't do podcasting. All I do is read the Torah. And father,

your beautiful child. Well, I also think that like maybe this is just, you know, my lovely family. But I also think when you're a girl or a woman, sometimes people care a little bit more about how you carry yourself. There's a double standard for sure, guys. This can be as naughty as they want to be. And as soon as a lady does it, people get all for clumped. And to be fair, I think sometimes I say this. And later I go, what the fuck?

Absolutely, you're true. We just have to fucking talk for 75 minutes. You just say stuff. It's not, not if it's real. We're just saying things. I know, but I will say that I listen to the episode because I try occasionally to listen to be like, am I annoying? Am I talking too much?

The answer is yes. And that one was rough. I was like in the shower. And I go, I can't watch that because Valcum's dick isn't in my mouth. And I went, what the fuck? So y'all, I think I got to pull back a notch. Listen, Matt and I, listen, Matt and I have been pod in a while. It's just a fugue state.

You don't. Absolutely. Who remembers any of this stuff? Well, the thing is Val Kilmer does things to me. It's Timmy Oliphant, Val Kilmer. I don't have any self-control. So, Mom, if you're listening to this, stop. What are you doing?

Why are you punishing yourself? Mom, check out this American life. Oh, it's so good. Ira Glass is just nice stories. I love the stories. Tea Body award winning. You're one of the funniest people I know. And the way we talk when no one's watching,

You know you love this shit. Yeah. So just I know what I'm doing. I promise I'm a very upstanding citizen. Her virtue is still intact. And I barely ever put ticks in my mouth. Only if someone really deserves it. And I know they've been tested.

Or if they were in one Batman movie. Yeah. Or Batman one time. Yeah. Or the snowman. I'm a good girl. I'll blow that penguin though You better believe it

Oh yeah Oh she's back baby Yeah You get yourself Get yourself 4,000 bucks And then get the missile in your mouth Anyway Hey let's talk about this

Kids movie huh Apologize to Lois So this Guys I'm so glad we're talking about this I actually I'm a big Godzilla freak As you know Oh yeah sorry Lois Sorry for everything

Say I'm sorry I'm sorry Lois Fleming. I'm sorry, Lois Fleming. Ooh, she's going to love that. Oh, yeah. Now, here's some my favorite Bible verses. New King for the Fleming women.

Sure. Men apologizing. I'm a big Godzilla freak. I had always heard about this movie. I had never gotten a chance to watch it. I'm so glad we did. A little historical context. This came out in 1969.

So they thought the Toho Corporation, which made the Godzilla movie, still makes the Godzilla movies. They thought they were done, but then they figured out that kids love Godzilla. And so this is a cold-ass movie guide take. Worth some context here, the first Godzilla movie,

a slow, sad, depressing movie about the horrors of war and the traumas, the long-lasting traumas of war. And then after that, they just get sillier and sillier and sillier until you have all monsters attack. They realize kids love Godzilla, let's try and make one that is like explicitly for kids. So they did this. For a long time,

people said this was the worst Godzilla movie. It is directed by the original director. Ashiro Honda directed this. It looks amazing. It sure does. It really does. And he has said in interviews that this is one of his favorite ones. He's right.

He's, I mean, I don't want to skip too far into the rating the movie, but this is absolutely not worse than Son of Godzilla. I was going to ask you, Jordan. This has to be after Son of Godzilla, right? So it is. It's two years after.

Only two years. Yeah, they cranked these things out in the 60s. They just did one or two a year. It looks like the quality of this movie. It makes a jump. It's really gorgeous. So there is, I think something people don't like about this movie is they reuse a lot of footage.

There is like fight scenes from Son of Godzilla and a couple others. Oh, you mean like Power Rangers? Get over it. Sure. Yeah, it's for sure. It's for sure a clip show. You can tell it's a clip show. So the kid, yeah, there's a lot of things of like the kid watching a fight and not interacting with it.

Just going, oh, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, let's start talking about it. We can't talk about the opening of the movie without playing a little bit of the fucking song that plays over the credits. This rule is so fucking right. Once it kicks in, you're like, hell fucking yeah. I have one of the verses translated. The lyrics are cool as hell.

The lyrics are cool. Here's one of the verses. It's the ferocity of the monsters, but when you look, you'll see innocent faces. Go-Go-Go Godzilla is good-natured. Mimminnilla toddles about. Wham-bang crashed, they pulverize everything, but they don't mean to scare you. They can't help. They have big bodies.

I love it. They can't help it. They can't help. They have big bodies. Oh, I love it. The music is really honestly on another level. I did think, no kidding. The remixes.

That should be in my hinge profile. Yeah. That's big body. I'm a big bitch, motherfuckers. I don't mean to scare you. I just big. Yeah. Let's talk to this song.

I did think the remix for this one wasn't as good. as 96, but I thought it was pretty good. This is another turning point of fork stuck in the road. Tom grabbed you by the rest of the wrecks you where to go. Is that baby Godzilla?

It doesn't quite hit as hard as brains do with the adult Godzilla. But I mean, we all love it because they played it all our graduations. That's right. That's right. Oh my God. That and vitamin C, which I think you should, should put Godzilla into vitamin C. Oh, God.

Oh, my God. Do you graduate in style. Oh, yeah. College is going to be awesome. Baby Godzilla here called by his, I think his proper name is Minila, which is a portmanteau for mini Godzilla. Adorable.

So, yeah, we start the movie. We get that awesome song and we get a bunch of shots of industry, cars, trucks, trains, as if, like, yes, this is a kid's movie and it's like you like Godzilla's, but also trains. Oh, cool. Like, this is for kids

who want to go outside and watch the garbage truck. It's just like, here you go, kids. Here's some fucking trucks. It also kind of ties into the theme of the movie, which I think is like, you know,

interesting and very thoughtful. We'll get into that later. But we see a bunch of industry and a little kid, Ichiro, going home by himself from school. He was a fucking kid ever. He's so cute.

He's so adorable. I love watching him run around. The first time my loins, were like, oh, like, maybe. Maybe, maybe. Maybe you should have a kid. Oh, have a kid. Oh, man.

I had no idea where you were going with this. And I had this ready to go. Baby, baby, baby. I see having a baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah. He was just the sweetest kid. And I like that he didn't give in to bullies

trying to make him. Give up his very. vacuum tubes. I know. He found those themselves. Yeah. To workers who were just doing their job. But, uh, spoiler alert.

The ending takes that all away. We'll get to it. We'll get to the lyric ending. So fuck that kid. I'm so glad I don't have kids. Sorry. You've really flipped on Ichiro there. Um, so he is, uh,

Ichiro is a latchkey kid. Both of his parents work. And this was like a new thing in Japan at the time. because there was an economic downturn when they were making this movie. So, like, society was worried about latchkey kids. Like, these kids were having to go home by themselves and, you know, what trouble were they getting into? Sure, they blamed women because we see the woman crying. Yeah, geez, I know.

So, yeah, mom works, dad works. Dad drives a train, which is just like, oh, my dad drives a train. Awesome. Oh, so, yeah. So the kid, he's having to, like, take care of himself. he's collecting vacuum tubes. I guess that's just what you did when there was no video games.

I thought he just found one and it was cool that he found something. So I think he's, we find later that he's making a little machine and I think he's collecting parts to make that little machine. Which movie tech, we gotta do a sting for that.

Oh, you got it. Oh, you got it. Little machine. Oh yeah. A little imagination machine takes your way to meet Godzilla. So yeah, so there's a bunch of bullies. There's a bunch of bullies who find him and they're mean to him and they want to take away his vacuum tube.

One of those bullies is named is Gabara. That will come back. Remember that. Anyway, so the bullies bully him. We learn about this thing happening in the news around the town that there's some bank robbers who made out of 50 million yen. They're still at large. So we're looking for those bank robbers. The kid goes home and there's – so his parents are both working and there's this kindly toy maker that, like, lets him in.

looks after him. This guy rules. He looks awesome. Very never-ending story coded. Yeah, yeah. But there's also, he's a lot nicer than the old dude from never-ending story. In never-ending story, that book store guy sucks. Like, he's kind of weird and I don't like it.

But this guy rules. He's sweet. Oh, just a quick word about the bullies. And just in general, the kids in this movie, the fucking fits on these kids. Oh. The kids look awesome. They all look cool. My style icon is a Japanese 10 year old from 1969.

Fucking yes. Like if you saw like Gen Z Streetwear kids in these outfits, you would be like fucking awesome. The clothes in these 60s Godzilla movies are out of control. I love them. Do you guys go to Lil Tokyo at all? Sometimes, yeah. I love Lil Tokyo in Los Angeles.

There's like a couple of stores that it's very expensive. like the bags and stuff and it all looks like the shit in this movie and I saw Rhett and Link no I just saw Rhett going into one of these shops I'll find out like what it was but I've been in this shop and it's like mostly backpacks and cool shit like that and I went in there after and I have an aspirational thing to let go in this store I'll like find out what it is later oh yeah but it's true like Japanese style is just fucking rad and But yeah, all those bullies look fucking tight. Yeah.

And they're just like 10. They're just these like awesomely dressed 10 year old. Yeah. And I can't believe this was what? 1969 is what you said it was? I want to say that the film quality in this, I would never guess that it was 69. I thought it would be 80s at the least. Like it's a gorgeous movie.

Even in the style of the kids that like I almost felt like they had the style of like a cool. 80s kid. Yeah, they're ahead of the game. Way ahead of the game. But the film quality looks 80s to me. It looks great. Yeah, these are well taken care. These are like criterion collection movies.

They've taken care of them and upres them and they look great in HD. But I watched it on YouTube is what's crazy how good it looks. Oh yeah, totally. It's wild. Anyway. So, yeah, so the kid, as we mentioned, he has this kindly old toy maker friend, but he also in his closet. He's building a little imagination machine.

so he can escape to Monster Island where Godzilla and all his friends live. I think the premise of this is that Godzilla is a movie and not an actual monster that he has destroyed his town. Yes, which is, see, this is, I think, where the movie for me changed from a, if I'm being honest, chore to something I actually kind of wanted to watch. because it wasn't actually a Godzilla movie or in the sense that Godzilla isn't real in this movie. It's a part of this kid's imagination. And in fact, it makes the whole, like,

it being a clip show, a collection of different monster fights from previous Godzilla movies, it makes it make more sense. Yeah, because he's remembering movies he saw. Well, this is kind of, okay, I'm going to add a little element to this. So I love Game of Thrones, right? Absolutely. The White Walkers and Game of Thrones were like a bedtime story that they told kids.

It happened so long ago that they're like not sure if it really existed or not. Like it's a legend or whatever. So part of me thinks that this was like this legend or something that either happened so long ago and they don't think it'll ever happen again or like maybe this is something they all know happened, but he chose to, instead of being afraid of this monster coming back, he's going to choose to believe that these monsters are his friend instead of being afraid. Which I absolutely loved. Yeah.

So I kind of think it can be both, and it's fun to just go along with it and not give a shit. But yeah, that's my version of it. Yeah. I like your version, too. And absolutely, this movie has a dreamlike quality to it. A little later, he'll fall into a whole, like, it's, I think it's supposed to remind you of Alice in Wonderland. The falling in the whole scene is the funniest shit I've ever seen.

Very Alice in Wonderland. Yeah, I think that's intentional. I think when this is some like Japanese storytelling stuff that I am maybe not super up on, but I do think they have a genre called Isakai, which is an Alice in Wonderland story. And I think that's what this is. That makes total sense. I mean, Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, that is. is something that it was it a dream?

Was it your imagination? Right. Yeah, yeah. That is, that's around. And, you know, kind of as we'll see later, like, some of the monsters are people in his life and stuff. So, so, yeah. This is Inception, but kids and Godzilla.

But kids and Godzilla. So, yeah, the kid, he goes to the island. We see a fight from a previous Godzilla movie where Godzilla fights a bunch of praying mantises. It looks really cool. He sets one on fire. He fights a giant condor. You can see the strings.

I'm like, hell yeah. at the fucking strings on that thing. This is great. So the kid, he's running around, he falls into a hole. It looks very Alice in Wonderland. And a rope is lowered to him by whom it's Manila, baby Godzilla. And unlike in the first movie we see him, he can talk. And it sounds like he's speaking through a drive-through speaker.

He sounds so crazy. Oh, yeah. So that's his roar that we hear in the... the first movie, but he just speaks Japanese to this kid, but it's, yeah, it sounds like it's through a walkie-talkie under a bed. It looks great. It sounds, I think it sounds

great, and I think it looks great. I enjoy, as soon as he started talking to him, I was like, oh, my God, now I enjoy Son of Godzilla. That's how I felt as well. I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more, I think

the other one we watched, Son of Godzilla, if he had been able to, like, talk. had like a cool kid friend. Yeah. Then it's just like land of the lost is like kind of what it is. Which rules? That rules too. Dude, the 90s land of the lost.

Hell yeah. Grew up on that shit. Oh, I love that show. Anyway, it was wild. So we see kind of back in the like, you know, quote unquote real world, we see the bank robbers from the news are kind of like hiding out in this old factory. Yeah, I had a hard time following this. I'll be honest. Yeah, I think this is, yeah, it's kind of unclear on like why the, or what to me anyway, like why the bank robbers want to kid. Maybe he saw them. I don't know.

He was getting their license plate or something or he stole a license from them. So can I talk a little bit about this kid, the things I like about this kid. So the kid gets, he's not just a latchkey kid. He's also kind of a kid that doesn't fit in. He's a little bit of a loner. But with good reason, like he's, like these, that bully group of kids were challenging him to distract a laborer from his job on a high point to almost give him an injury. And he went, fuck you, I'm leaving. Yeah. Ran away. Most movies about American kids, they do it and then feel bad about it later. Sure.

He just didn't do it. And I was like, I love this kid. Yeah, he didn't cave to pure. pressure. He didn't cave to peer pressure. He didn't multiple times. But then he loves knickknacks. I love that. He goes into an abandoned building and finds like old headphones and old weird knickknacks to make his fake little machine. And I'm like, dude, I love that. Because the basement in my parents, so a little weird tangent. The house I grew up in my parents house, we, when we moved in, the basement. is an unfinished basement. It's a lot of dirt. And we played in it a lot. And there were those old metal

like trucks and like cars and shit in the dirt. We found those. And it was so cool. So we like playing in dirt and sewage cream. And finding knick knacks. Yeah. And having a little imagination life.

It is very cute and it's very like this is how kids play. And so I love this kid. he just went and did things by himself. He got into situations that were scary and then used self-soothing, like, you know, techniques to have an imagination and get through it. I love this kid. I know.

So, yeah, so we kind of see this bank robber kind of plot starting. He and the toy maker have a little dinner. The toy maker makes him dinner. It's very cute. Whatever they're eating looks awesome. Looks so good. Yeah. It's like a beef soup or a beef stew or something and it looks like fucking delicious.

And it's an extended shot of him eating it at one point. And at one point I was like, it's crazy because I would, in any other movie, I think I'd be like, this shot is gone on for too long. But I'm just looking at him going like, damn, that looks fucking good. Well, yeah, the Toymaker character is really cool. And it also another like character that is an adult friend that is not your parents, will take care of your kids, which I'm trying to be for Matt Leib. And he won't let me. Yeah, someday. Oh, and I think the toy maker is the tallest person in the man.

Tallest guy. I guess if Godzilla doesn't count, then, yeah. Yeah, yeah. If we're saying human guy. He's not a person. Yeah. So yeah, we go to, the kid goes, goes back to the island where we meet the big bad of the movie. Gabara, the same name as his bully.

Yes, it's true. That's right. But Gabara is like a big lizard with a mad cat face and doesn't have a tail. and it seems like he should have a tail and every time like he doesn't have a tail I'm like, where the fuck's the tail on that thing? And the power is electricity. Electricity.

But is Gabara in any other movies that you know of? I think Gabara pops up later, but he was made for this movie. So the movie is a clip show in many ways, but Gabara is new. And I think he pops up, he'll pop up later, but this is like he was made for this movie and to be the kind of like, you know, kid villain.

That's why he's maybe like a little cuter than some of the other monsters. I was assuming that it was a scary character from other movies, but it wasn't. Okay. The kid, Chiro, he's talking to Manila. He said, you promised to tell Godzilla to put me on his back. And I'm like, no, you didn't. No one said that.

You just. I thought I just missed it in the subtitles. I was like, oh, I guess I turned my head away during that part. That's that manipulative friend who's like, you said this. You said Godzilla was going to put me on. back. Yeah. You promised actually. What? No, but I have to fight Kabara

or else Godzilla will think I am a coward. Yeah, so he, so Manila is saying that Godzilla wants him to fight his own battles. We have a really cool fight here between Godzilla and Abriha, the horror of the deep, a big shrimp crab thing.

That's awesome. We love it. They have like a little fight with the rock and they battened around like a beach ball. It's really funny. Pretty cool. A bunch of fighter jets. come and just Godzilla destroys those. Tight. Then we kind of get the scene from Son of Godzilla where Godzilla is trying to teach Manila

how to breathe fire and he breathes a little, you know, smoke ring. A little pot smoke ring. Yeah, a little. Oh, that was a repeat scene, wasn't it? It was, yeah. I knew. I was like, I've seen this before.

I don't remember that from Son of Godzilla. Yeah, no, I do. He's trying to show him how to breathe fire, but he can only do the rings. Well, it seems like he's just that vine Where a guy sees a girl Like do a pot ring and he goes, wow Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know that vine

It's a good vine, it's a good vine So yeah, then Godzilla like steps on Manila's tail And then he does the like fire breath properly Also, Manilas, as we alluded to in the intro, Manila's size just randomly changes in this He's sometimes as big as the kid But sometimes he'll like grow to be almost Godzilla's size and that's when we get a very...

Which, the weirdest scene. I took so many screenshots of this for you guys because a lot of the YouTube Free With Ads movies, you cannot screenshot. Like they don't allow for it. But this one, they were like, go for it.

Yeah, go ahead. What are you going to do with it? When he got bigger, they chose to just do a full-on close-up on its junk. Well, so it was freeze frames, which is really strange. So as he's jumping to fight,

Gabara his jump is done in a series of freeze frames of him getting closer and closer to the camera but the part that it just gets closer to is his crotch. It's Kendall Mound

but he just has a he just has a mound or A mound pubis I think the reason they did that was so you could see the little boy beneath him being like wow.

Also weird Between his legs between his legs is a little boy. I was, to me, I was like, whatever. They're just having fun. Let's just let this movie wash over me. Sure. It was like just moving in action figures junk closer and closer to you, but whatever. Well, yeah, we're almost to the thrilling conclusion of this 69 minute movie, which we'll talk about when we come back. Hey, free with ads, listeners. We'll get back to the show. Yes, hi. We'll get back to the show very soon. But first, we want to do.

do something special. Yeah, we want to read a Jumbotron message. What's the Jumbotron message you ask? Well, it's when one of our beloved listeners goes to maximum fund.org slash jumbotron. They pay a very reasonable rate and then we share a message with our millions and millions of listeners. Do not check, double check how many listeners we have. I make sure they can't. All of our numbers are private, so they won't know how many listeners we have. Maximumfund.org slash jumbotron. This person did that. Their name is Eric Roadfelt. Eric Rodfeld has a site they would love for you to visit.

It's twin cities characters.com. We're going to read their message. And by we, I mean, Emily is going to read it in one of her famous sketch comedy character voices. Emily, take it away. Famous sketch comedy. Okay. I don't remember all of the voices I've done. but because Eric Rodfeld sounds like, I don't know, it sounds kind of Dracula, Eastern European.

So here we go. I love it. I love it. Yeah. I loved you guys. Brisness. Brisness. I don't know how to speak.

Brisness is really slow here in Minneapolis right now. I wonder why. Uh-oh. Oh, Oh, be clear, that is in the message he wrote. It is not Emily editorializing. He said, I wonder why, in parentheses. Emily would never be parenthetical.

This is actually Emily saying that I should have handled this with more tact. But you said you needed ad money. So I figured what the heck. I drew you guys and I will post it. it on Instagram at Twin Cities Carricatures. I have two commission options. One is cheaper and there are no changes. Edits or reduce or refunds, but

25% goes to local pet rescue. The other option is way more expensive and you do get to make edits and changes. Support the real artist. Fuck AI! Thanks. Hey, thank you. Lovely. Thank you, Eric.

Thank you for twin. Thank you to twin citiescharacters.com. And yeah, they included this beautiful character of us. We look awesome. We look hilarious. It's really awesome. It really is gorgeous. It captures my, my posture, which, how dare you?

Jesus. And it even gets the very small gap that I have in. between my teeth. I'm like truly impressed with how long this person has looked at me. Well, also how thick your glasses lenses are. That's also correct. That's also correct.

It's even got my haircut, my fade. Yeah. You got my fade. Very lovingly done. We'll post this online as well so people can see it. Oh, for sure. It has my stings.

He wrote down all my stings. Yeah. There you go. I say the, I say the general vibe is the, Humans on the animaniacs. I think that's kind of what we look like. Yes.

I love it. Yeah. Thank you to Twin Cities characters. Visit the website. And yeah, I like this. Hey, if you're somebody who needs a little bit of art done, if you got a band, if you got a podcast, if you got a local event, don't just fucking use AI.

Give a nice person a little bit of money. Exactly. And you get yourself a good product that doesn't look like total shit. In fact, it looks cool. Okay. It looks cool as hell. If you want to support our show with a Jumbotron message maximum fun.org slash jumbotron. Okay, back to the show.

We're back. It's free with ads. We are talking about all monsters attack. Is there a better title for a movie? I don't think so. I was thinking, oops, all monsters was what? It's all monsters. Yeah.

So yeah. So we're about at the final confrontation with cat face, no tail, monster. Gabara, while also kind of in the real world, there's the parallel story of the bank robbers have kidnapped the kid. And so he is escaping from the bank robbers, very proto home alone style. I was just singing the same thing. I was like, it was very wet bandits. Yeah. Yeah. So he's like set some traps for them and he's like spraying him with fire extinguishers. So we have this fight between, and this is like kind of artistic and this is kind of expressionistic. It is like the kids' imagination, the fight with Gabara,

kind of mirroring his fight with the robbers. And yeah, he's spraying him with fire extinguishers. He's doing a bunch of stuff while he and Manila are like, they get Gabara to like stand on a log and then Manila jumps on the other end and it flips Gabara around. It's like very, it's like very slapstick. It's very funny to watch these like big monster suit guys falling around. Manila and the kid beat Gabara

and also the cops get the bank robbers who immediately, as soon as they're grabbed by the cops, both say, I'm sorry. So you just apologize immediately. They're like, ah, you got me. I love Japan. I would love to believe that every criminal as soon as they're caught going, ah, my bad. So then we kind of go back to the kid's life for a little epilogue.

His mom tells him, I'll never work nights again. And he goes outside. And Emily, you alluded to this. There is a like, there's a, you know, 20 second shot of the mom, making sure the kid leaves and then she cries. So she makes sure he's gone, make sure he can't hear her, and then she cries.

This mom has two scenes, and it's like fucking riveting. Like this, them including this part is wild. Really, like, I don't know, that affected me, and then the scene directly after made me cry. Yeah.

I have it saved what the toy maker says. Oh, yeah, sure. So there's a bunch of, so after this scene, there's a bunch of like reporters out waiting for the kid who's like a local hero now. And the kid just leaves for school. And then the toy maker is like giving them a quote. Is this the thing you're talking about, Emily? Yeah. The little boy, they just, I don't know what they were like, were you so scared being alone?

And he was like, I wasn't alone. I was with Manila. And they were like, well, what do you mean? and then he goes the monster Manila and he leaves and then they're like what the fuck

and the toy master or the toy master the toy maker goes you know how adults have gods like why can't children have their own gods

and I just start sobbing oh my gosh and then the best part of this scene is the toy maker says that line and then all the reporters go, mm-hmm.

Light it down. They all went, oh yeah. You know how God is fake? Yeah, right. Yeah. It was very cute because it made me cry. Like the idea of a child's idea of God is a baby Godzilla. Well, also, no matter what you believe in, even if it's the same God on paper, a child's

version of it is different than an adult. version of it. And it just was so profound. And I just was sobbing in the back of an Uber. Like, I love that. I like how you watch these movies in Uber's. Well, I watch half of it in a bus. And then I watch some of it.

I got to go in a bus to get a prescription for my head. And then sometimes the traffic's crazy and I just got to get an Uber. So then I cry in the Uber. I cry in buses. I cry in Uber's. You can cry in whatever. I cry in bars. Sure.

A lot of great places to cry. I cry in a CVS, baby. Hey, nice. Public. That's where I cry. So we get this, we get this profound quote about, about the nature of God and belief. And then the kid has a final confrontation with the bullies. The bullies want him to join because he's like the town hero now.

And then there's like a, there's like a freeze frame like action scene where he's kicking the bully's ass. he just beats him up. Yeah. And then this wild ending where we see, okay, let me know if I'm describing this right, a cowboy is painting a sign. It's the guy that they told him to fuck with at the beginning when they were bullying him. Oh, I didn't notice that. I thought this was the first time we're seeing this guy.

Well, I don't know if it's the same guy, but they tried to initiate him into their little friend group by going fuck with this like laborer. Right. Yeah. Do a prank on a guy and he's like, no, and he wouldn't do it. And then immediately after beating up his bully, he accidentally does the- No, I don't think he accidentally did it. He did it on purpose.

So he runs over. So the cowboy sign painter has a awesome looking motorcycle that looks like it was designed by whoever designed Peewee's bike. Absolutely. The kid honks the horn and the cowboy sign painter falls off and gets covered in paint. And the kids all scream, all right, baby. Yeah. And then he runs away to his dad.

He runs alongside his dad's train and apologizes for what he just did. And that's the end of the movie. It's insane. I believe the last line of the movie is the dad saying to the cowboy covered in pain, I will pay for your laundry. Oh, I don't remember that part. Yeah. And then it ends.

That's it. It is such a weird moment to end. angry at that ending because everything else about this was this kid who was like fuck you to peer pressure I'm myself I don't care about being a loner I'm my own thing and I love imagination and then he fucking hurts a guy it does seem a little bit like what he actually like if it had ended after after he beat up the bully if it had ended then it would have been like yeah that's a story about a loner kid who's like you know what I don't like bullies and I will never be you know pressure shirt into doing bad things.

What it actually ends up being is he beats up the bully and becomes the new alpha male of the group. Yes. Which I don't know is for me. I was like, oh, I don't like that. I don't want him to be. That's exactly correct.

And I needed it. And I also think that if you were going to beat up this guy, he went full Ralphie from Christmas story where it's like, you know, that thing, where he just loses control. Sure. And I wanted him to just get, like, attacked, and then he does one punch, and it puts the guy on his back and, like, sets him straight. I mean, I enjoyed a freeze frame fight. I thought it was beautiful. I thought it was nice to see him.

And then ending with a line, you know, I hate bullies and walking away with his head held high. I was like, that's wonderful. Fucking killer finishing line. And then he's like, let me tip over a man doing his job. I don't know what that was about, but I just... And an awesome cowboy outfit with the world's coolest motorcycle. And then he got pain all over his face and he's like, you dirty rotten kids or whatever. At that point, I just had to go like, I don't know, man, different cultures.

Who knows? Maybe that's good luck or something. All right, baby. Yeah, all right, baby. I hated it. That's all monsters attack. We're going to say what we thought about it. But first, we're going to do the hunk watch.

It's hunk watch. I'll start with maybe a hunk we didn't mention that much. Okay. The bank robber who's always drinking. Yeah. So one of the bank robbers is always taking pulls off a flask. He's got a fucking suit. He's got sunglasses.

He looks awesome. He looks great. Yeah. Any other thoughts on the hunks of the film? Oh, Toymaker. Yeah. Yeah. He does look really cool too.

He has like a cool like beard and yeah. He's got that mustache. Oh, yeah. I mean, I got to be honest, like committing to. a long mustache. Super hot. I don't know. But the other thing is, what was the name of the

monster that was named after the bully? Cabara. Gabara. Yeah, good head of hair on that thing. Good head of hair. Looks like a cat. Yeah. I'm kind of into it. Also, the six-pack on

that thing. I know. Kind of just looks like a six-pack of tittyes a little bit. Yeah, more tities a better, I say. Oh, yeah. I find it to be... Check out the tits on Gabara. I don't know.

It made it a little confusing for me sexually. Okay. All right. I love to be a little confused. Oh, yeah. Help with the gooning. Matt, any thoughts on hunks? Crying mom.

Crying mom. She's great. Yeah. That feels very personal. Love a crying mom. She loves her son, but she's trying to be strong for him. Yep. Yep.

All right. Well, now that we've talked about the hunks, we're going to talk about the film itself. Oh, but wait. We're going to do that when we come back. We're back. It's free with ads. We're going to rank all Monsters Attack on a scale of 1 to 10,

Yeah, as the Godzilla sicko, I'll go first.

Listen, if you're curious about Godzilla, I don't think this should be your first Godzilla movie. Check out Godzilla, minus one. Check out the original, a lot of great films in this series. But if you're a sicko for this stuff, like I am, this is such a fun watch. It's really, really cool. I think this would be a great movie to watch with kids. my like two-year-old nephew is kind of starting to get into dinosaurs, so I might ask my sister if we can put this on the next time I'm over there

and see if he reacts to it. So yeah, I think this does its job of being a kid's Godzilla movie. And yeah, I think it does have some really, like, beautiful sweet stuff in it. And, you know, like that first movie, like isn't just a monster movie, like it's thinking about stuff. It has, like, a, you know, central metaphor it's dealing with. I think this movie does that too. And I think it is like,

thoughtful in a different way. And yeah, I think its reputation as like the bad Godzilla movie is totally wrong. I think this is a cool, like a cool, a cool, really cool movie in the franchise. And yeah, I think if you're into the, if you're into the franchise, give this a watch. It's really cool. I'm going to give it an eight. Nice. Emily, you want to go next?

Yeah, I mean, I'm very new to the Godzilla franchise. and I'm going on the journey of Godzilla with y'all and with the audience. And I did, this is like a totally different movie because it's all taking place in the imagination of a child. And I, I just loved it. It was so charming. And there was a little bit of peanut butter solution in here with these. Yeah, yeah, maybe. Just like kids running around by themselves.

Yeah, and why knows? That he's dealing with in an abandoned building and with all these. But I just, I love anything that deals with like kids having an imagination of their own. And it just feels like such an interesting like twist on the franchise. I just hate the last three minutes of the movie. If you could have ended it at I hate bullies. it would be a tippy 10. Okay.

I'll be real with you. But because of the last few minutes of the movie, it's a fucking six. I'm so, okay. I'm so four-pire. Because the message of it was, fuck,

like, you know, being alone is not that bad. Like, your imagination, you will find people who understand you. Don't fucking give in to believe. shit peer pressure and then he just did. I'm so

mad but anyway. Just let the cowboy pay to sign. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to actually give it a seven. I feel like I was too harsh. I'm going to give it a seven because I want to watch it again because of how charming it was. So seven. Okay. Matt, what do you think?

I'm going to give it an eight. I actually really, really enjoyed it. I think it's you know, in terms of Godzilla movies that we've watched, we've watched 96. right? Godzilla. Was it 96? I thought it was 98. Yeah, whatever. We watched the 90s Godzilla with Matthew Broderick.

The American Godzilla, yeah. And we've watched Son of Godzilla and what else? Have we watched anything else? I think that's all we've done. Okay. So to be honest, this is the best Godzilla movie I've ever seen. Because I've only seen those other ones. I'm also going on to Scudzilla. journey with you guys and the audience. So so far, this is the best one. I'm giving it an eight.

I loved it. Should we score these on brain stews? Like, how many stews of brain? I'm giving us eight brain stews. I'm right there with you, Matt. Eight stews for all monsters attack. In 69 minutes, too. It's nice and breeze.

Perfect time. Oh, yeah. I love that. All right. Let's do some plugs. I've got an appropriate plug. last year, I worked on a Godzilla comic called Godzilla versus Los Angeles.

It was an anthology about Godzilla Smashing LA. I did a story with one of my favorite comics artist, Nicole Gou. And this thing, I didn't know they were doing this. It's coming out in hardback, which is very cool because, you know, it was just a floppy comic shop comic, which made a little hard to get. It did a short print run, but they're doing a hardback. That means you can get it on Amazon.

You can get it at Barnes & Noble. You can tell your local indie bookstore to order it. or here's what I want y'all to do, the listener, tell your fucking library to get it. They can get it in libraries. So yeah, Godzilla versus Los Angeles. You can get it anywhere you get your books, and you can tell your public library to get it.

I really, really love this thing. It turned out so beautiful. Lots of great, awesome. People contributed to this. Nicole's art is so beautiful. Really proud to have been a part of this thing. And now you can get it in hard back. That's so fucking cool.

It's awesome. I hope folks check it out. Godzilla versus Los Angeles. Get it where you get stuff. Okay. Tune in next week when our movie will be Underworld 2003. But in the end is right. I hope you at the time of your life.

Maximum Fun. A worker-owned network. Of artists-owned shows. Supported. Directly. By you.
