There is very little time or point in an explanation. To be blunt,
the audio came from a timeline and dimension that has collapsed at a quantum
level, rendering it null and void in terms of existence.
Operational time in the dimensional continuum where the beings that
created the audio collapsed in on itself, rendering all of
their civilization, including technology, null and void.
Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and
changing. The destruction has a nexus that centers on
cinema syll.
10 years. Man 10. 10 years.
10 years. Man 10 years. 10 years.
10. 10 years. 10 years.
What is the most likely way humanity will be wiped out? Maybe it's something.
Or us. Although the way the world ends might. Be because of
you. And if this is the case, you. Wouldn'T have any control over it.
The global temperature rise underscores a chilling reality.
Our planet is trying to tell us. Something, but we don't seem to be listening.
A recent study has suggested that one. Third of annual deaths due to
heat. Are directly related to global warming.
On top of the initial flash of thermonuclear light, which is
180 million degrees, which catches every everything on fire in
a nine mile diameter radius. On top of the bulldozing effect
of the wind and all the buildings coming down, and more fires igniting
more fires on top of the radiation if they happen to have survived
poisoning people to death. On top of all that, each one of these fires
creates a mega fire that is a hundred or more
square miles.
Timelines across the entire continuum are collapsing and changing.
The destruction has a nexus that centers. On Cinema PsyOps
a breathtaking scientific revolution is taking place.
Biotechnology has been progressing at stunning speed,
giving us the tools to eventually gain control over biology.
Solving the deadliest diseases while also creating viruses
more dangerous than nuclear bombs, able to devastate humanity.
It's man returning to the most primal,
violent state as people fight over the tiny
resources that remain. What if the world we live in. Is just a
dream or a simulation? Whether it's a dream or some advanced computer
game you are playing right now. When it ends, you would be what.
Causes the end of the world. Please do us all a favor. Continue dreaming
or playing this game of life. Because when you wake up or unplug,
there's a chance the rest of us. Will be blaked out of existence. Timelines across
the entire continuum are collapsing and changing. The destruction
has a nexus that centers on Cinema syn.
10 years. 10 years.
Hello and
welcome to the 501st consecutive week of
Cinema Psyops. I'm your host, Cort, the guy that's really stoked to
be Talking about Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla from 1974
and really upset that this wasn't the movie that he got to cover as my
co host, Matt. You just shave all the best shit for yourself, don't you?
I pulled a selfish on Godzilla films. I feel like I've earned it after dealing
with. You have earned it. This is your thing. Yeah, yeah. This is your big
thing. Yeah. So, yeah, ye. If we're doing like
a comedic tour de force, which we've been talking about doing in the
future, I mean, yeah, you're going to get to pull more selfishness on that.
Yes, I will. That's a fact. If you ever allow me
to do Star Wars. Hey, I'm not
keeping you from covering Star Wars. We're just not doing it on this show.
No, that's what I was talking about, though. All right.
Because you have no initiative on your own unless someone carries you all the way
through for everything, right? Pretty much, yeah.
All my initiative is going to just try and fucking survive.
Just America's guest. Pretty much just.
That's all I want. The Ed McMahon of podcasting, ladies and gentlemen,
Matt Sighop. Just carry me to success and
I'll be all right. He'll point at that and go, yes, sir.
And then Publishers Clearinghouse is next. And Star
Search. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit of both. He was doing both. Yeah.
That's fair. We are already off
the fucking rails. What a what show we've got for everybody?
This. Oh, yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ. All right,
so Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. Once again. They come
back, 1974, and this is supposed to be the last one. So they
throw a lot of money at it. They try and really do something special with
it, and then they immediately go, hey, that made more money than
we thought when we threw money at it. Let's make a sequel.
Lord, it's like a band. It's like every time the who said they were
going to retire. It's our last tour. That a
tour makes a lot of money. That was a lot of money. So as we
kind of were discussing a little bit here with these films, we were coming up
on the end of the era and these two films represent the end. This one
was supposed to be the end. And then they move on and do another one.
Sort of like, destroy all monsters. All Monsters attack. We already had that kind
of scenario. Now I am definitely pulling the selfish and taking
the destroy all monsters of the two. Freely admit that. Yeah.
And leaving you with the all monsters attack. But as of next week's episode,
the ending of next week's episode, we are done with the show era. It's over
with. Oh, man. So we'll be into the Heisei era, which is the 1980s
Godzilla. And that's when things start getting really gruesome and gory and
they really start going overboard and then they spend some more money on the effects
and things really start to build in the spectacle from here,
from these two weeks. I just wanted to mention. Yeah, now we got a little
bit of spectacle in both of these films. Absolutely. Mine probably
a little more so than yours, because once again, you got the all monsters attacked
and my destroy all monsters. That's just how it works. That's just.
That's how life goes. Yeah. But I can't wait to revel in the fighting
and the goriness and then just plain strange things
that occur in Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. Yeah.
This is one of my favorites from this era, for sure. This specific
film is one of my favorites from this era. I really do enjoy Godzilla vs
Mechagodzilla for obvious reasons. Yeah. We've already seen
where Kong had to take on a mechanical version of himself. And that
was a really interesting idea. And I would submit to you that Toho
took that idea and ran with it with this Mechagodzilla. In a
way that's funny. Mechagodzilla is the far more famous Mecha
Mech Robot Kaiju. Godzilla has taken the world by
storm. I would argue that Godzilla is actually more renowned
than Kong at this point, even though I would think so influenced
by Kong. Therefore, Mecha G is going to be bigger than
Mecca K. Yeah, yeah, agreed. That's just how it is. Yeah.
And plus, the Mecha Kong was kind of derpy and silly and the whole
movie series for that idea where they took it from. The Rankin
and Basque, like, cartoon made it very cartoony and very
corny. It was still an enjoyable film, but it was just doomed
to never be as memorable as Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla
because this film has got epic baked into its DNA, for sure.
It's really. Yeah.
And as a matter of fact, I don't want to beat around the bush talking
about it anymore. I'm ready to actually get into covering Godzilla versus
Mechagodzilla. So let's take the break now. We're going to play the Legion Patreon
ad and immediately following that on the pirate radio edit as we've been doing all
along. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla was released in 1974, so all
songs also released in 1974. So up first will be
Queen with Seven Seas of Rai immediately following this. This'll keep it quiet.
Oh, hi there. It was later discovered that the nature of perceived
reality itself had broken down, and characters thought to have been fictional
would turn out to exist in the reality where they were only a story.
The multiverse became saturated with writhe beings suffering existential
crisis while confronting their creators who made them suffer
for the sake of entertainment. In this way, authors were now responsible
for the realities that existed in the stories they told and the well
being of the creations within it. As imagine, this did not
go well for any version of Kourt and Matt. There is one known dimension where
the podcast cinema Psyops exists, that every bit of this nonsense
is made up as comedic relief sketch comedy. And Kourt and Matt
are nothing more than two failed entertainers who made up nonsensical sketches to
draw people into their lame attempt at a podcast. Being confronted
by the writhing versions of the characters proved to be a bit much for the
dim wit to dipshits. Hey, which one of you sadistic
bastards thought my lifetime of misery would be great for your
Chuck a fuck giggle going on in your podcast? Hey, Shabir needed
a partner in crime. And a life for me to act. Out sketches with Cort.
Don't worry about it. And I suppose this means Cort thought up my
miserable excuse for a lifetime of suffering as well. And Sandy Shore's
too. You were a satire character attacking bullshit self help gurus.
I am not a fucking self help guru or bullshit.
I know exactly who the fuck you are. You two bit James,
Arthur, Ray. Every fucking ayahuasca you vomited up, I mixed
and put in your fucking stomach every piece of Shandy Shore's ex Matt
and I thought up your bullshit rhetoric about Soul Eagles is
a direct mockery of people exactly like you. In my fucking
reality. Those awful things you did to my sweet
Millicent and making me closeted at a self medicated rank
was all just the butt of some sick jokes.
Why would you do that to me? We were inspired
by real life where someone we knew was closeted and fixated
on a co worker and blew up his life just like you. Wait,
that's what this was? Elbow me, Cort.
So my suffering is a variation on someone else's suffering so
you can make your jokes about me. Why would you do that?
Wha. Dan, use your screaming pillow for me. The adults
are trying to talk here,
man. Nobody harmonizes Like Queen? No, man,
nobody. At least in the rock and roll world.
I could take arguments from other styles of music that popped possibly
has better harmonization than Queen. I won't argue that. But my God, man, in fucking
rock and roll, I think Queen is it. Yeah, I agree.
Well, enough talk about Queen. Let's talk about the king of all monsters
with Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. Yes.
All right. From 1974. The first third of the film starts with
a brief credit of the production company and starts right
off the bat with Anguirus on a snow covered rock formation singing
the song of his people like a lonely cat into the void. When the film
cuts to some strange lightning effect coming from a nearby mountainside,
this blinding strange lighting effect coming from a nearby
mountainside, this blinding light fades and random
explosions and fireworks style explosions begin erupting from the mountain
that then flows with lava and appears to be some type of volcanic
eruption that may have been triggered by these strange explosions and
the light. I'm not saying it's aliens, but Aliens. Anyway,
the kanji for Godzilla and Mechagodzilla flash and clash in
an animated title sequence before resting and becoming the title card
on screen. And I popped for that when it happened. I'm not ashamed to admit
it. They kill all momentum
of that opening with a pastoral greeting card montage opening
credit sequence that takes away all of the yaz we just had in that
dramatic monster opening. Of course. What the,
guys? I don't know, man. It was so weird.
The credits end and we are then subjected to a musical
performance of singing that is interrupted by a vision of stock footage
destruction that causes the vocalist to collapse and that causes
people to use their talkie holes. And that is the start of our first.
What's wrong? You all right? What's the matter? Are you
okay? Mommy.
Mommy. Oh, Grandfather.
What's the matter with you, my child? A monster. A monster
will set fire to the. City and trample on the people who try
to run away. A monster.
Then the old man and the girl are descendants of the royal family of Izumi.
You're well informed, brother. I ought to know. I've been
working on the marine exhibit for a year. I'm almost an Okinawan
by now. Anyway, her prediction scares me.
This is the entrance to the cave. I won't go inside
with it. I've got some work to do. All right. Thank you.
See ya. The clip ends in a rather lengthy padded
out sequence of inarguably beautiful caverns
that lasts for what feels like forever. They Then
show. Our would be hero notices the shiny in
the floor of the cave and picks up a very
luminescent hexagon like shape of metal.
I'm not saying it's aliens, but. Aliens? But that might
not be from this world. They cut from this. Go ahead. That's an alien.
Jesus. They cut from this to a jeep on the move.
What might be a construction site. A dude in a hard hat gets out
of the jeep and that opens some human talkie holes. And becomes
our second. Very good. Hey, Shimizu.
Shimizu. Oh, we've been waiting for you. What's up? We're gonna
cover the key. Okay. Here it is. Why don't
you give up? I told you to keep up. The investigation is over.
Hey. Hey. Miss. You can't come in here. Stay back. Hey you.
I told you report is not allowed. Stay back.
The.
What's so funny? Because I'm the investigator
from the archaeology department of the Shuri University.
You are? Imagine the ancient
people of Okinawa painted this mural. Are you sure? Yes.
This part here is a mountain floating in the sky. There are two
suns. I wonder what this could mean. I don't understand.
Could be demons. It looks like a prophecy of some
sort. A prophecy? Come and look at this. This one looks like one of them.
You know what? It probably the guardian of the izumis.
He's called King Cesar. King Cesar?
There's a legend among the Izumis.
It's handed down by tradition.
Long ago, when people from the mainland came to conquer Okinawa,
a huge brown monster appeared and saved the royal
family of the Izumis. The monster's name was King
Cesar. Went like N appears
above the clouds. A monster will destroy the
world. They cut from that translation to a doorknob and
a sneaky shady looking fucker comes creeping out
to be greeted by a 1970s version of Neo
from the Matrix. Creeping around the corner to spy in on
the translating lady and then make sure to flash his
ring that looks kinda like that special metal from the
cave, but with a black stone of some sort laid into it. I'm not sure
why they're having him flash the ring, but it's dude's getting. Real flashy around
here. Real fucking flashy. They just show like a light flash on his ring
to like try and symbolize that it might be from the same metal. Or that
this 1970s Japanese version of Neo from the Matrix is special in
some way. I'm not sure why they do it. We should start wearing pinky rings.
Remember men used to do that? All the time. You, me. We should bring that
back. They cut from that to an airport, complete with screechy
takeoff noises of airplanes. Then they cut to the interior of the plane.
When a traveling man in a pink shirt and pink like trimmed heather
style jacket runs into the translator lady who is just looking cute
as a button in her little traveling outfit and hat. She stops him for some
taki hole. Opening action in our third clip.
Mr. Shimizu. Hi. Going to Tokyo
too? It's my first vacation in years. How about you?
I'm taking this. I've deciphered
the wall paintings, but I can't
solve the mystery of the statue. So I'll
ask Professor Wagura of Tokyo University for help.
Professor Wagura? I've heard of him.
Isn't the professor a famous archaeologist?
Yes, he's the same. And who are you? I'm a freelance
reporter. But you could call me a scandal
Hunter. Well, let me explain.
I'm interested in the statue you found too.
If I can get a scoop, I'll make a lot of money.
So I hope you'll help me.
What is it?
The clouds look just like a black mountain. Yes.
When a black mountain appears above the clouds, a huge monster
will come forth and try to destroy the world.
It's from the prophecy on the mural. Mural?
The prophecy continues something like this.
But when the red moon sets and
the sun rises west, two monsters will appear to
save the people. A monster?
A monster will set fire to the city and trample on the
people who. Try to run away. Thank you
for bringing me from the airport. I'm grateful.
There you are. Hey there. You're not invited.
Hold it.
Ah, Kazuki. Welcome home. Hello. I brought a guest for you.
Wow.
Oh, you're mean. You should have told me that.
Professor Wagara. Where's your uncle? So sorry. I couldn't resist
making fun of you. You should be ashamed. By the way,
where's my psycho? Seems that he found a strange piece of metal
in Giokusen Cave on Okinawa. He took it to Professor Miyajima.
This material can only be space titanium.
Space titanium? You mean it's from outer space? Mm.
Great. Every day for the last 10
years days. Right, Father.
Earthquakes continue to be in the news today. A slight tremor,
second magnitude occurred near Cape Namura, Hokkaido. The center
has moved south towards TOU and it's continuing in a southward
direction. The cause of this moving epicenter is still unknown.
There are those that say a huge living being is moving
underground. Let's see. It's difficult to
read, but I think it's rather familiar.
Professor, you'd better get some sleep now. No, I'm all right.
Say, would you give me some coffee? Sure.
Make it strong. Yes.
I want the statue.
This starts a James Bond man of international action
sequence of men fighting and struggling for possession of a gun
while everyone else flees in multiple directions out of the room. Flee.
Flee. Everyone flee. At one point, the creeper dude beats the secret
agent wannab dude down and starts trying to smother him to
death with a pillow after punching him in the chest and throat to make
it hard for him to breathe. Death by pillow suffocation
adds insult to injury to the tarnishing of an international man of
action's reputation. So let's hope our would be hero can do something about
this before he's killed by a pillow. Yeah.
That pillow suffocation death seems likely as the bad
guy pummels the would be hero some more. Until a leg scissor
takeover over kick out frees our agent hero.
He then goes on the offensive hardcore, only to be subdued and
given the iron claw as the older traditionally dressed
gentleman picks up the gun on the floor and points it in the
most apprehensive and least threatening way imaginable. Yet it still
somehow sends that bad guy running as he iron claw slams
the agent hero into the gun wielder to heroically flee and
run away. Heroically flee.
Even if you're fleeing, it can be heroic. Yeah. I'm trying
to name wrestling maneuvers that I think they're doing as close as possible.
And I know for sure that was an iron claw that was subduing that guy.
But I don't know if that's like. I mean, if you're doing. You're holding someone
in an iron claw and then you toss them from it. Is that an iron
claw toss? Is that the way to call it? Yeah, there you go. That's the
iron claw. Yeah. And then see iron claw toss then, right? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. To his credit,
our would be man of action shakes off an iron claw toss
like he is Rick fucking Flair in his heyday.
And he springs to his feet in hot pursuit in the
hopes to find the fleeing bad guy. He turns up nothing, is greeted on the
street by the other folks from the clip. And then the 1970s
Neo of the film walks into frame to observe them
from a distance and be awfully fucking mysterious.
Whoa. They cut from that to a statue being held
by the translation lady with fast zooms in and out. And Then back
to 1970s Neo lighting up a cigarette
and clearly wanting that statue. They cut from that to more
exploding mountain footage with a strange object that floated flies up
out of these explosions. It just looks like a giant ball of rock,
but that's what it's supposed to be is a strange flying object. Yeah, yeah,
but it's just. It's. It's. It's aliens. It might be aliens.
I'm not saying it. It's definitely aliens. It probably is, but I'm not saying right
now that it is. It just might be. It's totally aliens. This weird rock
like boulder flying object that may or may not be aliens crashes
into an adjacent mountain and explodes, leaving behind what is obviously
a false Godzilla. It's definitely not a real Godzilla,
despite what is said in our fourth clip. Professor, It's Godzilla.
When a black mountain appears above the clouds, a huge
monster will arrive to try and destroy the world.
The ancient prophecy is coming true.
I would never have guessed that the monster could be Godzilla.
Uncle, I must be going. Where are you going?
To Mount Fuji. I'm worried about the psycho on the professor.
It's too dangerous. The area is a battlefield. Never mind.
I'll get there somehow. Naomi.
What's the matter? Grandfather, the monster.
As you prophesied, Godzilla has appeared on the mainland.
Hey. Only one thing can defeat Godzilla.
And that is our own King Caesar.
But nobody can find the key
to unlock the divine monster.
Oh, Godzilla. Destroy the
people of Japan who once tried to conquer the Izumi
tribe. You will be the instrument of our revenge.
Oh, Godzilla. Wow. He switches from
being Team King Zar to King Godzilla real fast, doesn't he?
Turns. Man, what a turncoat. Don't trust
him in a foxhole. If the fucked up and wrong
roar is not obvious enough, the super smooth and metallic looking
plates on his back should be obvious enough for you to know
that that's definitely not Godzilla. He just. That is not Godzilla. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. At the end of the clip, this Notzilla stomps
through and I mean right the fuck through a nearby hotel like
building. This enrages a tunneling Anguirus who attacks the
Notzilla. And they cut to a dude who says this is not right
for Anguirus to attack what would be his friend? Because that guy's
dumbass still doesn't get it. This is not Zilla. This is not Godzilla.
This is the opposite of Godzill Mechazilla.
They then cut back to Anguirus getting knocked down a hill,
only to launch himself backwards with his spikes into Notzilla,
sending Mysterious sparks flying off of it and revealing
a patch of metal under a torn chunk of skin suit.
This is clearly a mech that is wearing a Godzilla suit.
Yes, yes. This is a machine that is wearing.
Wants to look like Godzilla, obviously. They charge at each other and
brawl for a patch with some punches traded
for bites and spikes before Mechagodzilla in a Notzilla
suit kicks Anguirus a distance away,
grabs his tail and uses it to whip him into the air and smack
him right back down to the ground over and over again. This is multiple times.
You start to really feel bad for Anguirus at a certain point. Right? You're just
like, all right, that's probably enough. He finally stops this
by kicking him on the way down on that last drop.
Which leaves him sprawled out and looking like a fucking corpse after
that. The Notzilla then charges in and grabs
a hold of Anguirus mouth, prying it open and ripping his
jaw wide open, tearing the flesh complete with a tempera paint looking
blood spurting all over not Zilla's
hands as this is happening. That was pretty gruesome and unexpected the first time you
watched it. Yeah. This is a lot bloodier than most Kaiju movies that we
get. After the jaw rips, a defeated but still
thankfully alive Anguirus painfully flees with increasing speed
away from a gloating Notzilla who celebrates his way off screen
in the opposite direction. Direction they cut from that to the human
agent story where the guy fools himself into thinking
he is going to clear the road of fallen trees and telephone poles
as a sort of comedic moment that once again falls flat.
He basically picks up a smaller branch and thinks he's got it. Then he moves
into like a telephone pole that is clearly too heavy for one person to lift.
And yet he still attempts it. And then he is basically shamed into
realizing he's not nearly as strong as he thinks. And it's not funny. It's just
boring. And why even throw that in? This isn't funny. It isn't fun.
He noticed. Notices and retrieves some special metal. And that sparks a
bunch of science talky hole action in our fifth
clip. Nerds. I am positive it's the same metal as the piece Masaiko
found in Okinawa. This is space titanium. You're right.
It is the same metal. Masaiko. Yes? I want you to
take me to the cave one of these days. Sure. I want to get a
closer look at Godzilla. Like to come along. Of course. We'd be glad
to come with you. That's a strange pipe. Hmm, Yes. I made
it by myself. The bowl's metal includes astronachron.
If you separate it in this way, magnetic waves will develop that
destroy the positive and negative electrodes. Oh, come here.
Look at this. See the effect that it creates? Now it's
a powerful pipe. They cut from this to not Zilla using his
Mecha laser beam to pretend to be atomic breath while it roasts a
factory district. They use the technique of filming up at
the suit with a lighting and fire and smoke all around it in
that metal as fuck fashion that works so well in Godzilla
vs Gigan. It looks great on this Notzilla. And that leads to
the end of the first third of the film. So we are already one third
of the way through the film. Yeah, we got special metals now. It's nice.
The special metal pipe that is in no way a plot device.
No, it's not. What are you talking about? Why would they spend so much time
explaining how it builds up magnetic waves and then have it demonstrated that it
causes problems to electronic equipment if it wasn't a plot device? It's not. It's a
special metal. I mean, I don't get what your problem is with special
metal. Sorry, I prefer
my metal to be standard. Well, this is special,
so you just gotta deal with that. Deal with the special
metal you're dealt. Not the. Not the standard metal you are
craving. Yeah, right. That's. That's right. Don't know.
Don't know what your problem is, Cort. Sometimes you just. You just don't get it.
I don't think. Well, let's just move on to the second act of the film.
What do you think? Yeah, good idea. All right, so the second act of the
film starts with the rampage of Not Zen being interrupted
by the sudden emergence from underground of the one and only true Godzilla.
I have no idea how he was able to do this other than that whole
hollow earth theory story from the legendary universe. Maybe, but for some reason,
Godzilla just comes up out of the goddamn ground. And we just have to accept
that because that's what we just saw. Yeah, well, we live in
a hollow earth. You know that, right? Just go with it. It looked cool.
Just. Just go. Yeah, it's. It's. We live in a Hollow earth. I don't know
why people don't get that. Notzilla blows up a factory near the real big
G. And then it cuts to an obvious bunch of
fuckers and our sixth clip. I didn't expect the real
Godzilla to appear so soon. The Earth people must be astonished.
The pair of Godzillas fight as the humans arrive. To be in the
frame with forced perspective to show the scale of the explosions
in danger and draw attention from the actual fun explosions
and Kaiju fighting that we should be seeing instead of looking at the people in
the mat lines. What's wrong with looking at those people? What'd they do to
you? I don't know. I'm just really into the monster suit fighting more
than anything. That's true. Yeah. People. Who needs them? We're here for
the. We're here for the monsters. People will always let you down and disappoint you.
Godzilla in Kaiju suits will always be awesome. Our people.
Are they the real monsters? Yes. That's the whole point. All right.
That's the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So the real Godzilla smashes a chunk
of skin off of the Mechagodzilla. And that causes spontaneous
mansplaining, expository dialogue. In our seventh clip.
No, I get it. The one that came out of Mount Fuji. He is a
cyborg. Cyborg? It is made out of the space
metal. You could call it a Mechagodzilla. That's it.
And queers have come out to call for Godzilla. They then show Godzilla
atomic blast, the Mechagodzilla setting off tons of explosions.
They cut from that to the obvious evil alien leader.
And our eighth clip. Damn Godzilla. You're mistaken if you
think your powers are a match for Mechagodzilla. Pretty much all dialogue,
even if it's just just one line, has been a clip in this film.
Because that's how I'm rolling. I mean, you're doing great.
You're doing the Lord's work around here. The evil alien
leader dude flips a switch on his control console and a Mechagodzilla
skin shedding sequence begins where we get the reveal of
the first full Mechagodzilla in all of its cybernetic glory.
Mechagodzilla. Yes. I think Mechagodzilla
looks awesome. This particular Mechagodzilla suit is really well crafted.
Absolutely. It looks terrific. This is good stuff.
Mechagodzilla and Godzill charge in for a fight. Big G takes
a hit and MG does a laser I beam blast that is
met with Godzilla's atomic breath in an energy blast
standoff that explodes on both Big G and Mecha G,
sending them both reeling in with equivalent malfunction
and or damage for the matching of the Titans. That Explosion put
them both on their ass and fucked them both up whenever that energy blast
went off at each other. That was pretty fucking yeah. Right? Yeah.
Blood bubbles up. That's good stuff. Blood bubbles up from the water where
Godzilla lands. And Mechagodzilla is down for the count and twitching
with sparks everywhere and a bunch of different noises and explosions. They cut
from that to our ninth clip. Chief. Mechagodzilla's head control's
out of order. We can't continue the operation.
Damn it. We'll have to postpone our attack on Tokyo.
Bring Mechagodzilla back to the base for repairs.
Sir.
The first thing in the morning we'll fly to walking hour. Yeah.
I'm sure. The Mechagodzilla is being remotely controlled by
spacemen. The space metal is the evidence.
I have a feeling we'll find the key to them in Jocusen Cave.
Chief. Repairs are going to take a long time.
Chief. If we lose too much time, headquarters will
discover our mistake. Don't worry about it.
We use an Earth man that knows space technology. I got it.
Now. These tattooed characters
here are an example of the ancient type of hieroglyphic writing used
thousands of years ago by the Izumi royal family.
They tell us where Kingsis are sleeping. What does it say?
When the sun rises in the west.
Then place this statue on the sacred shrine
above the gate of Izumi Castle.
The sacred shrine of Izumi Castle?
That's strange. When the red moon
sets and the sun rises in the west, two monsters will
arrive to save the people.
That's the prophecy on the mural. Right?
The sun rises in the west.
That's impossible. What could
it mean? Tell Agent Number one to
steal the statue of King Caesar as soon as possible.
Now that they've solved the puzzle of the statue, the monster could wake up
anytime with be in trouble. If King Cesar brings
other monsters to life. The spaceman will
never guess. We're taking the Carl Queen to Okinawa around
him. I see. We're outsmarting him this time.
Ah. Hey look. Is it
much farther? Straight ahead.
Eco watching step now. Right.
We have been waiting for you, Professor. What's this?
Who are you? Commander for conquest of Earth from the third
planet of the black hole. Outer space. So I was right.
You are spaceman.
I admire your deductive processes.
This use Mechagodzilla is our ultimate weapon to conquer Earth.
But it said controls have gone out of order. Unless we
repair it quickly, our schedule of conquest will be delayed.
So we thought you'd Give us the use of the expertise
that succeeded in winning you the Nobel prize.
I refuse. Dr. Miyajima.
Mechagodzilla is a cyborg that our scientists
created after careful study of the original Godzilla.
Does it make your mouth water?
I think you'll agree that it's an interesting object.
Okay. What is it? Just stay where you are.
Oh. Father.
E.
Father. Where are you taking her?
What is this? The execution room?
Professor. Now you still have time
to save them.
Wonder how Professor M is doing?
I hope they find clues for mystery.
Is there something? Yeah. I think
someone's watching us.
You sure?
What's the matter? I thought I heard Godzilla just
now. I don't hear
anything. You're right. But I
can swear that I did hear it. They cut from this to a storm on
an island with Big G defiantly roaring at the sky
and the lightning striking all around around him. A real powering up
kind of a moment happens as Godzilla takes lightning strike after lightning
strike directly into his body. And it is electrically charging
him in some way to the point that sparks are flying off of his
body when he walks away. They cut from this awesome
display of sparking. It's a real shocker.
They cut from this awesome display of sparking explosions and
Kaiju badassery to humans from. For some fucking stupid
reason as we are on a boat with the bad henchman
dude lurking in a hallway and breaking into the room of the translation lady
to steal the statue she has. That has something to do with King
Caesar. Because it turns the tide somehow in this fight so
that Mecha G can defeat the earth and Godzilla whenever he doesn't
have the second monster. I guess that's how it works. The henchman
takes out the Shiza statue. And that is the type of.
It's sort of like a lion almost. But what that.
What that creature is is known as a Shiza. And that's the statue
of it. It's actually originates in China but
it was in part of Okinawan culture as well. And so that's how they're kind
of tying it all together with Japan and Okinawa. And you know, the defender
that the bad things that happened to Okinawa and blah blah blah that they were
talking about earlier. That all ties to the sieges. She's a statue
in like a historical context that I don't fully understand. I just wanted to point
out. Yeah. Anyway. The henchman takes out that Shiza
statue to admire it and then is immediately jumped by the would be man of
action agent guy. They scuffle. The henchman Does a nice head
scissors takeover of the Action Man. At one point in the scuffle,
the Action man responds by breaking that hold of that head scissors takeover
and then placing the thug into a cross faced chicken wing submission and
choke. He begins crossface chicken wing. Crossface chicken
wing. That's what he did. Yeah, he did. He did.
He pulled one arm back for the chicken wing and then he did the crossface
chokehold. That's how Bob Bagman won his last
WWF title against Bret Hart. Crossfades chicken wing. All right.
So he begins to interrogate him in that crossfades chicken wing and
the henchman goes full thug life and takes out a dagger from his boot and
slashes the Action Man's hand, breaking free from that hold. That's a foreign
object if I've ever seen one. In a fight, that is. That would be an
immediate disqualification. They then play a round of Stabby
Slashy as the thug lunges with the knife, pressing his advantage.
Our action agent heroically dives onto a bed and retrieves
a loose assassination pistol, firing a shot into
the henchman's face, sending him back against the wall, sliding down to a
shelf or bench that was close to the floor, clutching the wound in his face.
After he settles into a still position, his face half transforms through
a stop motion cross dissolve into a simian ape like
look as he grunts and snorts during the whole process, the hench ape
seizes the opportunity of the hench ape. I love it.
Seizes opportunity of the action agent being clearly too horrified
to move, and snatches up the Shiza statue and takes off across
the outer deck of the ship. With the action man in pursuit, the hench ape
tosses multiple lightweight folding lawn chairs
at the agent and continues this up at a staircase. When one
of these lightweight folding lawn chairs actually
gets launched at him and knocks him down the staircase. These things are made out
of aluminum. I mean, come on, man, really, what. Are we doing around
here? They cut to the translation lady. Special metal.
You don't know. So you don't know. You don't know about special metal.
Aluminum's not special, it's just. Just metal. It's special.
They cut to the translation lady waking up and noticing someone had rummaged
through her shit. And then immediately cut from that to the action man lurking
around the boat looking for the handshape. The hand shape somehow
gets the drop on the action man and gets the gun, but is shot by
a mysterious gun person hidden from view off to the side.
And the lady translator walks into Frame and starts talking with that Takihole.
So that is our 10th Cl. Kazuki.
The statue's gone. Somebody must have stolen it.
I was chasing the thief. He went overboard.
Was the statue with him?
I'm worried about the way he fell.
Why's that? I think somebody shot
him. Oh,
you're hurt. Hey.
On a beautiful night like this, you should talk about love.
Here. Thank you very much. Captain.
You said that it was important, so I locked it in the safe. Sorry to
have trouble. It's nothing. How was the trip?
Wonderful. Glad you liked it. I'm sure
you will enjoy your holiday trip in a. You've been
making a fool of me. The stone statue was a fake. But friends don't
know. Enemies won't know.
Well, Mr. Masaiko? Shimizu hasn't returned for several days now.
Hasn't returned? No. What about Dr.
Miyajima and his daughter? Yes. He said he might not be able to
come back for a couple of days. That was the last time I
saw him. We are very worried about them both.
That's so. The clip ends with the translator lady looking out
of her balcony and being spied on by a creeper on
the ground. And then it cuts to the action agent driving back to
the caverns to snoop around. It cuts from that to the evil ape aliens
in Egger suits and our 11th clip. You're finished already?
I thank you. Now come down here, please.
Mechagodzilla will start action at six in the
morning. Drink to the return of Mechagodzilla
and to our success. Keep your promise.
Release my daughter and the young man at once. Why, of course,
Doctor. I'll do it immediately.
Please.
Pleasure, Father. Hiko.
Masaiko.
Enjoy yourselves. This will be the last night you will have.
Professor. I'm all right.
I'm glad you're alive. We'll help you.
Get over here.
They're trying to scold us to death. They cut from that to
the action man snooping around the caverns when he finds the
professor's plot device. I mean. Magnetic wave generating
pipe for tobacco. Yeah. But you know. It's for his wacky
tobacco. It's a special metal pipe for.
Special metal. I don't know what your problem is. It's a plot device.
You'll see. It's not. No. It says metal. It's special. You.
You're. You're jaded with all your plot devices.
All right. Anyway. The magnetic wave generating pipe for tobacco
or wacky tobacco is found on the cavern floor. He is then
caught snooping around after finding that special magnetic wave
generating pipe in our coffee.
That's right.
Who are you? The spaceman. Where's my brother and the professor?
Where are they? You'll see them soon. Rather, they are corpses.
Just who are you? I am an Interpol agent.
Anbara. You've been following me? Yes.
Six months ago, they came to our attention. We threw out a net to find
the truth. And then you got caught in the net. I've been
following you ever since. And that's all there is to the story.
On your feet. You'll lead us to
your secret base. And don't try any tricks.
It's so hot. I'm dying.
Don't give up.
Open it.
The clip ends with the professor and his progeny being killed by
having some type of gas pumped into the cell holding them.
That felt really creepy to watch. Yeah, right. They are
rescued by the 1970s Neo Interpol agent and
the action agent in conjunction in our 13th
clip.
Now move. Are you all right?
I'll turn it off. Masaiko. Brother. Are you all right?
Shimizu. I'm glad you're alive. Hurry. We gotta get out of
here. Hold it. No one move.
Reach for the sky. Make it quick.
Get down.
Come on. Come on. Hurry. Okay, let's move. Move it. We gotta
get out of here. Come on. That's it.
We'll be all right. I have my car parked outside.
Goodbye. Stupid earthman.
Come on.
Hold it.
Quick thinking. That makes three times you've saved my life.
Three times. You saved me on the boat, too,
didn't you?
Do you notice the color of the moon? A red moon.
When the red moon set, the prophecies are coming true, one after another.
Shimizu. I'm going to go back inside and take care of them. Those bastards.
You go to Izumi Castle. Right. I want to go inside with you.
Well, Brother. Okay with you? Okay. I am going with you.
I must go. Even though I did it to save my daughter's life, I still
cooperated with him. I have sold my soul to the devil. But you didn't
have any choice that time. Don't risk your life again. No. I worked on the
Mechagodzilla. I'm the only one that knows how to destroy it. Can't you see I'm
right? I understand now. By the way, Professor. Better take this with
you. It might be of some help to you. Oh, that's good. Never thought I'd
see this again. Thanks a lot.
How's it going? Ask me later. Let's go. To the castle.
Give the statue to me. If you don't hand it over, the. Old man
and the girl will die.
That bastard. It's your fault.
You brought all this trouble upon us. If you had just kept your hands
off the statue, we would never have had to suffer the way
we have.
Hand it over now. Sego. Give it to him.
I'm with Interpol tomorrow. Then you wait. No. Yep.
We're partners. We're glad to see you.
It's two minutes to six. Oh, look at that.
The sun's rising. The sun's rising in the west.
So that's it. When the sun rises in the west,
it meant a mirage.
The end of that clip is now two thirds of the film done with
the run to the end starting from here. So we are two thirds of the
way in. Yeah, I wanted to talk about at this break here
so that we're like, you know, we're about an hour into the film, and then
it's all gonn fucking action and Kaiju stomping from here on out.
The thing that I really wanted to kind of point out and talk about is
the professor in this is the same guy who played Serizawa.
I'll get into it a little bit more because he'll show up in your film
as well. And I know that for a fact in your episode, because we've
already recorded it. I will talk more about that actor and some of the
other Godzilla films that he's appeared in and all of that as well. I know,
because again, I've already recorded it. What? Yeah,
but I wanted to point it out here. The sort of older gentleman you
should recognize. You would expect to see an eye patch on him. He's just
a little great at the sides. And he is the professor who is
regretting some of his choices in working with these ape evil alien types.
He's like, I can't believe it. Yeah, I get mixed
up with all. These damn dirty apes. And yes,
100%, the aliens are apes in this. Because the Planet of the Apes movies are
kicking and really popular right now. So they included him in this. I'm positive
of that, too. Yeah, I almost figured that out as
well. I think we're ready to move on to the run to
the end. What do you think? Let's do it. All right. So the run to
the end starts with the statue being put into place,
that Shiza statue that is supposed to somehow be
used when the sun rises in the west to summon King Caesar. Anyway,
the sun is conveniently rising in the west. And that causes lasers to
start lasering away at the sleeping chamber
of King Caesar, where the sun hits the Shiza statue's eyes
just right and it reflects back. I don't know how it works, but it does.
And he is revealed and set literally loose in our 14th clip.
Chief, they afraid King Caesar. Our men have failed
to get the statue right. King Caesar will be our first victim.
Get ready to launch the cyborg with this.
Mecha G takes off and lands where King Cesar is
sleeping. And Mecha G is ordered to heroically kill a
sleeping King Caesar because it's. Heroic now to kill
a sleepy man. With this threat on his life looming.
As Mecha G slowly lumbers on over the prophecy
of how the fuck this Kaiju wakes up is fulfilled by an overlong
musical number sequence sung in King Caesar's
honor. Seriously, why that long of a sequence? This song goes
on forever, right? There are a
fair number of King Caesar haters out there. And I submit
to you that it is this song that is basically the reason for it.
They hate him because of that. And that's only it. Yeah,
yeah, I'm almost positive that's what's going on. I like King Cesar.
I think he's kind of fun. I mean, yeah, he's a little fucking goofy,
but you know what? He has some cultural historical significance on white he's based
on. And I kind of like his powers. So, you know, fuck off. I like
him. You're like, hey, don't fuck around with my love
for King Cesar. The reason that I do love King Cesar
is evident when he finally wakes up in our 15th clip.
Megagodzilla. Destroy him quickly. I'm amazed
that you're still alive, Professor. But you must not underestimate us.
After that short clip, Cesar is zapped by Mecha
G's laser, only to absorb it in his right eye and fire it
back supercharged 10 times over at Mecha G.
That blast puts Mecha G on the back foot, so Zazar
charges in with a slam attempt, only to be knocked backwards,
bouncing right off the obviously super heavy metallic monstrosity.
The second attempt of attack, after absorbing and firing
back an even stronger blast of the energy out of Mecha G's eyes,
causes Mecha G more damage and sparks
as Mecha G is taken down by the second body slam.
So basically, I don't know how this is supposed to work,
but King Caesar can absorb energy attacks that are
very much like Mecha G's eye blast into one of his eyes and
then he powers it up and it becomes even stronger when it exits the other
one. And I think, like I said, it goes into the right eye
and it comes back out of the left eye. Supercharged.
Yeah. And you can tell that it's. That all makes sense. Well,
the reason that, the reason that it. You can tell that it's happening, that it's
supercharged is a smaller beam that goes into the one eye and then it's a
much wider, bigger beam that comes out of the other one. And when Mecha
G fires an even more powerful one, Adam, it's like even bigger and
more obvious when it comes out of the other eye. And this, I mean,
this is a supernatural being, first of all. So however any of
this works, all you have to do is say supernatural and you have to press
the I believe button because this thing is technically like a protection God of
this island. So what's wrong with that? It's like Daimajin.
It doesn't matter what his powers are because he's a fucking godlike thing. His powers
are whatever they say is I believe.
I just believe Cort. They are both back
upright. After that, damage that is done. And when they charge
each other, King Caesar judo tosses Mecha G onto some buildings
and pummels his prone opponent before being tossed off
of him with a quick kick. They get vertical once again and
Mecha G fires the eye lasers, but dodges the return shot
from King Caesar this time. And then starts firing off missiles
at King Caesar from his fingertips. These do some serious damage
and cause pain for King Caesar. So he hides behind a rock formation
that Mecha G lasers into pieces with some weird,
like, maser thing that comes out of his chest. And then he starts firing off
more missiles at King Caesar from his fingertips. These do
some damage and cause pain for King Caesar. Yeah,
I'm assuming those would cause problems for King Caesar. Mecha G
lasers into pieces and then shoots up King Cesar and kicks his prone opponent,
sending his limp body flying through the air. Some more talkie holes
get opened up when they cut to the evil ape aliens
Lair. In our 16th clip, Mechagodzilla seems to. Be fighting
very well.
Professor, I would like to thank you
again for your cooperation. At the end of the clip,
1970s Neo gestures for the professor about his ring
and the the professor is hip to whatever plan is going down.
And the film cuts back to the battle of King Caesar and
Mecha G. The pair begin essentially street brawling as they pummel
each other, with Mecha G trying to jam a hand down Cesar's throat
for some reason. That's going to cause damage, I guess.
Yeah, right. Mecha G ends up tossing
King Cesar into a large canyon. With King Cesar
subdued by the rocks piling in around him and holding them in place,
Mecha G takes aim with intent to kill and turns
suddenly to camera with urgency. We then see the ocean nearby
is bubbling up and there is electrical sparking mixed in with
the boiling ocean as Godzilla emerges.
And people explain that all to us in our 17.
Godzilla is still alive. The other monster the ancient people said
would appear must be Godzilla.
So Godzilla is still alive. We'll have to teach it
another lesson.
Mechagodzilla beat Godzilla to death.
Not sure what artificial intelligence Mechagodzilla has
to be able to take verbal commands like that and then just execute them as
it sees fit. But it's clearly better than anything humans could write, so definitely
there must be. Some sort of interface going on.
At the end of the clip, the ring is being bent by 1970s
Neo. And the professor takes out his plot device. I'm sorry,
Matt. Special magnetic generating pipe for Smok tobacco or
marijuana. It's special. Special metal.
And the film cuts from that special metal pipe being taken out
by the professor to Big G climbing up the mountain and
crossing into Roar. A challenge to Mechagodzilla.
Big G goes right for the atomic breath attack as Mecha G takes
flight to dodge it. He heroically takes flight to dodge it, by the way.
Yeah, yeah. Of course. The atomic breath strikes
where King Caesar seems trapped in the rocks
of the canyon thing he fell into. And Someh frees him. But Mecha
G fires off an eye laser at Godzilla and the direct hit puts
Big G on the back foot. Meanwhile, in the human padding
of the story, the 1970s Neo is using his morphing metal
ring to pick his handcuffs lock. And the professor is
taking apart his plot device. I'm sorry. Special magnetic wave
generating pipe for smoking tobacco and or marijuana. Yes,
it's special. You got to stop this plot device.
Plot armor. Shit. They cut back from
that to the monsters. And King Cesar gets back
to his feet and on solid ground with Mecha G,
who turns his head to face him, but leaves all of his missiles and
front pointing at Godzilla, who roars a challenge. Somehow Mecha G
coordinates firing his eye lasers at King Caesar and successfully
hitting him in the body and nowhere near his eyes, while simultaneously lifting
a foot to fire off TOW missiles. That's right. I said it. Tower missiles
at Godzilla, sending both opponents to the ground with
damage. And explosions everywhere and looking fucking awesome.
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Big G pops back
up, gets shot with more missiles and knocked back down.
Pops up to have Mecha G spin his head and generate
a protective field around itself that Big G hits with
an atomic breath that is somehow deflected. Big G then charges into
that shielding and pushes through with his claws, which then begins
smoking, only to have the power of this deflection shield somehow toss
him backward. They cut from that to show 1970s
Neo successfully picks the lock of his weirdly designed handcuffs
and smiles as he does so. Boy, would you like to play poker with that
guy? He has got no poker face at all. No poker face,
man. The professor pulls apart the special pipe
plot device and the film cuts back to a united King Caesar
and Big G being struck by literally every weapon
that Mecha G has being fired at them in succession over
and over again. Things are looking bleak, as they always do
when we get a heel work afoot. But my God, the explosions,
the firing off of all of this stuff, the fire everywhere that
like results from this. This Kaiju suits getting caught on fire obviously during
some of those shots before being put out with the guys walking around in there.
All of that was fucking amazing. It was great shit, man.
Good, good battles. Mecha G takes to the air
and repeatedly strikes Godzilla in the throat with his laser
I beam, drawing out gushes of blood repeatedly in
a super gruesome display. The message, I said
this is the most, probably the most gruesome we've had to date of a Kaiju
movie. The massive blood loss and repeated trauma of countless I beam
shots subdue Godzilla as he is taken to the ground in the assault and
remains still, causing looks of fear and shock on the faces of the human
story padding characters who are watching the battle. Mecha G
flies over top of Big G firing multiple projectiles
that deeply puncture and embed into G Godzilla's
body. This damage sets off the Big G's healing factor
and rage as he activates his special work for this
movie and pushes out all of the projectiles with a dramatic
pose. And then activates an electrical field around himself
with explosive sparks firing off from his body. The film then
shows a set of large metal power grid sized
electrical towers being drawn into Godzilla. And the apparent magnetism
of Big G, I guess is what they are going with. Starts to pull
the Mechagod Godzilla body back towards Big G. They explain
how this is supposed to work so I don't have to in our 18th clip.
What's wrong Mechagodzilla.
So he's transformed himself into a
magnetic force.
See, that's all they needed. They said he transformed himself into a magnetic force.
Yeah, See, it's. It's not plot device. It's just what's happening.
During the clip, the professor hands the special plot device to the 1970s
Neo. And at. And at the end
of the clip, we see Godzilla using his new powers of
magnetism, I guess is what they're calling yes, to pull
in the still attempting to fly away Mechagodzilla.
There are gestures that Big G does with his arm movements somehow
to control his magnetic pull over Mecha G. It doesn't matter. It just looks
cool. I think they just wanted to give Godzilla the force.
I think so, yeah. They needed to give Godzilla a whole
nother move. They spend a while on this and are really trying to
sell that he now has this power that he can defeat Mecha G with.
The evil aliens react to the landing and magnetic attachment
of Mecha G to Big G in a very homoerotic way,
I might add. In our 19th clip, rockets full throttle,
retreat.
When I give the signal, you throw them at both ends of the control console.
Big G is almost lifted off the ground with Mecha G taking flight.
But Big G somehow forces Mecha G back to the ground and holds
him there in place. While King Caesar takes
running body slams into Mecha G, causing damage and sparks
to fly with multiple strikes. Godzilla then puts Mecha
G in a headlock and begins twisting the head of the metallic monstrosity
around at the same time breaking gears and armored Shel
and then ripping the entire goddamn head of Mecha
G off in one motion. He breaks it back side to side,
twisting it and then pulls it right the fuck off. Absolutely amazing.
Oh yeah, Good stuff. As I am recovering from
that, they. Cut to the evil aliens having a post orgasm
cigarette. They cut to the evil aliens and some
dialogue in our 20th clip. I can't believe it.
The magnificent machine Mechagodzilla has been defeated.
It's dangerous. Let's get out. Wait a moment.
During the clip, the humans escape with a shootout and the use
of the plot device pipe, destroying the console that
controls Mecha G. All the evil aliens get shot up and
killed by the 1970s Neo. The control console and Mecha G both
start gloriously exploding in firework Toho style. At the end of
the clip, the explosion propels Godzilla backward into the ocean
with a slight attempt to make it seem he was also exploded
until he pops back up out of the ocean, triumphant and looking healed
up and better than ever. They cut to a sequence of the entire facility of
the evil guys and the whole island exploding.
And then back to the main people of the story that are padding it out.
And that is our 21st clip.
My father. It's all all right.
Your father has achieved a victory.
At the end of the clip, Godzilla takes off into the ocean,
and King Caesar goes back into his sleeping chamber
cave and is buried by an explosion that drops a bunch
of rocks on him. Now, that explosion was supernatural. As soon as he gets back
into his cave, he's like, fuck this. Does some kind of motion with his hand.
There's an explosion above him, and then the rocks just mysteriously start piling up
on top of him. But when the dust settles from that, the cliff he was
buried in is exactly the same. Back to normal. All the rocks reformed around him.
Very supernatural. Very cool. Yes, everything very cool. Everything very
supernatural. They cut from this to the statue being put back into the
shrine that summons King Caesar. We have
a bunch of talkie holes. And that is our final clip.
Finally, the ancestors of the Izumi royal family.
You can now sleep in peace after this. The film zooms
in on a Shiza statue on an ancient arch,
and they throw a little title card up that says the
end. I don't really know what it says because I can't read the kanji,
but it basically means roll credits. Cinema Silence.
10 years.
10 years. God damn. This film is insane
with the action and the blood flying and just.
Mechagodzilla is really intimidating and very much a
threat in this. Yes, it's really, really well done.
I don't think they needed to do the King Caesar to be a help for
Godzilla. I think they. They could have done the magnetic
thing, but they're trying to bring in new monsters just to sell more figures and
things like that, you know? Yeah, well, yeah, more monsters is
more fun. Yeah. I will say this. I enjoy
him teaming up with King Caesar to defeat opponents more
than I enjoyed watching him team up with Jet Jaguar.
Oh, I like King Caesar more than Jet Jaguar.
That's just a personal preference. Listen, everyone's got one.
Yeah. Much like assholes. I don't have a real problem with Jet Jaguar.
I just wish that if they were going to do an Ultraman knockoff, they just
would have went whole hog. Instead of it being like a super sentient robot,
it was actually a person in there that, you know, had the same kind of
powers in the suit that would have been Kind of cool, you know, Even if
they made it like the little kid, you know, that somehow got into the suit,
even though he shouldn't have, but he actually control the suit like an adult would,
you know. That would be cool, actually. Yeah, yeah. It'd be way better.
Yeah. I mean, just. Just various things that I would have personally enjoyed more.
Again, I don't have a. With Jet Jaguar. Just not really my particular
cup of tea. I think if he would have gone against a better opponent than
Megalon, maybe, you know.
But this Mechagodzilla new threat is very cool,
because when Godzilla fights him on his own, the very first thing that they do
is atomic breath blast, which they should be doing. They should get him with the
strongest stuff first, both of them. And what it ended up doing was like
that wizard power thing or. Or sort of like the clash of the
palm power that ends up happening in big trouble in Little China when Eggshen take
the bad guy and they cast those two warriors fighting in the
light at each other. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, and then it throws them
both back whenever the magic is too much or you see wizards throw spells at
each other. They even do it in Harry Potter where the wands get licked with
a spell, and then that just builds power until it explodes both back.
Always good. Especially if they have the same core. Right?
Yeah. As long as they have the same core of being a turf. You're right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't
want to think of it that way, but. Yeah. But essentially what I'm getting
at here is the matchup of the power of them both being equally
powerful with those laser blasts where it knocks the explosion that
happens from them being equally matched with that blows both of them back
on their ass on their first greeting and injures them or malfunctions
them so severely that they have to, like, you know, basically both run away
and heal up to fight again or be repaired. Yeah, that was a really
cool idea. I like the way that they did that really, really well.
Yeah. Everyone had to get up out of there. Yeah. And then,
other than trying to bring in this new character of King Caesar, I think you
could have just had Godzilla go get his lightning striking,
and it's obviously hurting him when it's happening. Like, he's getting hurt and burnt by
the lightning strikes, but he's enduring it because he knows it will somehow give him
what he needs to fight his machine. Yeah. More power.
Yeah. Right. And I really like that. That, like, they're really leaning into this,
like, Anytime he gets injured, he gains a new power to overcome what
that injury is. And so he's just standing here taking on electricity
shocks until he becomes magnetic.
He basically becomes like a lizard EMP or something like that.
Yeah, he's like a giant magnet now. Ye.
I. You know what? It's a giant fucking lizard that can power up
by taking damage. I'm just going to go with this. And. And you
know, if they're going to build a machine that's like a Mechagodzilla in secret underground
somewhere on Earth and like, no one ever finds out about it. If I'm going
to go with that and, you know, the magnetic pipe thing and
all of that other stuff, I have to accept that Godzilla can get powered up
by taking on multiple lightning strikes on this weird, mysterious island.
Agreed. Yes. If you're going to travel already with the
fact that there are giant Kaijus, then. Yeah. Why can't they
be magnet? Yeah. Why can't this be a power that he adapts
somehow? You know, like the aliens go with it whenever it's just working. Why can't
we, you know. Yeah. Right. Now, having said that, we obviously do not
need King Caesar in this. I think it also gives you
an idea of, well, even these two may not have any hope.
And it kind of gives Mecha G just that much more menace and feel
to him, you know? Yeah, it really does. I think it's really
well balanced the way that they use both of the warriors and how
both of them kind of get knocked down for the count and have to try
and do this on their own. I don't know if we necessarily needed all that
strange prophecy of like, you know, the two monsters that will come, but I think
they just wanted to, again, have a way to bring in a supernatural force
into this world. And it really feels like maybe they wanted to bring in a
Daimajin like character here, but they just chose to
do their own thing with King Caesar that was, you know, influenced by a Shiza
statue, as opposed to the type of statue that Daimajin is based
on. Just. It feels a lot the same. Like they wanted to do something similar.
I don't know. Yeah, I would have loved to see Daimajin team
up with Godzilla in this, though, that I just. In a world where
that would have been fun. Yeah. I'm a fucking mark for die machine,
I admit it. And I think I like King Caesar
because I'm also a mark for that kind of supernatural protector
that is a Kaiju in a suit. I like that idea. And I would have
loved to have seen a King Caesar film that takes place, like in the feudal
Japan eras where he was supposed to be protecting that island.
You know, I would have liked to have seen something like that too. That would
have been cool. Yeah, we never get it. We never get it. But that's fine.
I got enough King Caesar in this film to make me enjoy it. And he
does pop up later on. He's one of the kills in Final Wars. That happened
way too fast and is not anywhere near as satisfying as you think
it is. But yeah, we'll get there. I think
we've gone more than enough in this. Once I add the clips back in and
everything, I think we're more than enough. I don't even think I need to do
a story time this week. I think we can just call it quits. Let's do
it. All right. With that, we're going to go ahead and play the
show Housekeeping. And immediately following that, we're gonna have on
the pirate radio edit blue suede from 1970.
74. Just like Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla with the song Hooked on
a Feeling right after this. If you've decided you can't get enough of the
show and would like to check out more of it, we're available at LegionPodcasts.com
just do a quick search for cinema psyops or just enter it. As previously stated,
the intrusion of fictional characters into the reality of their creators led
to numerous authors being murdered by their worst villains and greatest
heroes alike. While some authors welcomed the punishments as
fitting, others did not go out without a fight. The state of Maine
was a fucked up nightmare. For the entirety of the existence of this break
in the fabric of reality, Cort and Matt could have chosen so much
better than they did. Their cold indifference should shock and horrify you.
Dan, use your screaming pillow for me. The adults are trying to talk here.
I don't sound like that. It's my voice making yours
work. Every piece of horseshit you spouted off was just me making
up the dumbest shit I possibly could or just stole from
some dumbass just like you. I have half a mind to release
my Soul Eagle on your sadistic ass. So you're gonna hurt me
with bad vibes? I know for a fact that Soul Eagles are bullshit
because I made that up. I also made you up. And I know for
a fact that I can take you in a fight. Look, we made up some
dark because we were going through some back then. Our lives are even
more Awful than now than when we used to do the sketches.
This is basically a lame ripoff of the end of Farewell Spider
man from the end of the 90s animated series. Whoever is
writing this is a hack and I hate them so much.
Wait, does that mean we're just characters. Who don't really exist either?
Oh, I got this. Where the did Matt go? Oh, I think existential
dread just made him disappear in a puff of logic. Maybe that
sucked. Just don't think too hard or care too much about all of
the we were suffering through, including these two nuggets that just
showed up. That may not be real, but the smell in the Savage is
so grating. Well, if we still control them,
maybe there is a way to get rid of them. All right, let's see here.
Shamir has a change of heart and wants to go on a
drug binge. Dan, we can't remain focused on on this.
Let's go to my cabin for a private retreat. Oh, that sounds lovely.
Let's enjoy time and seclusion at that. Place we got
from the old professor. Instead of going with the
cult members. I mean, patience Retreat. Little did they
know Dan's urge for a couple's secluded rustic
cabin retreat was a bad ripoff of the Evil Dead series.
Blue Suede Hooked on a feeling that's definitely something that brings you back and
makes you feel good. Yeah. So good. Yeah,
it brings me right back out of the bumming feeling that I have, knowing that
I'm skipping a story time this week. Yeah. And although we
now that time is over and I started thinking about everything.
Well, hopefully we can bring Matt and yourselves out of that funk that I
mysteriously just put you all in for no fucking reason other than to end
this show on a dour note with David Bowie and the song Rebel
Rebel on the pirate radio edit. So while you're enjoying that,
remember to kick the out of this week and make it your.
Little did they know Dan's urge for a couple's secluded
rustic cabin retreat was a bad ripoff of the Evil Dead
series. Well, they might be gone,
but the memories, and more importantly, the smell
are going to linger. Why do they always smell like patchouli,
lemons, and ass when they're here? I don't know, man. I'm just still pissed
at Samir for getting Aaron Rodgers on Haluska and ruining a
quarterback. God damn it, that was him. Yeah, of course it was him.
Who else is Aaron Rodgers gonna go to out of country with and
spend eight days in a cave doing Hallelujah till
He sees the dark man. I just hope the robots don't show up. Next life
is bad enough for us to hope to finish this final, final consecutive weekly
release schedule. Jesus, we had robots in our sketches.
Wait, did I get back the version of Matt that we made up and not
the real Matt? How do I know you're not the imaginary version of Cord?
Why don't we just wait here for a little while, see what happens.
Yep. All right. Sorry, what I didn't realize I was trying to
set up. Oh, hang on, let me start recording. Recording in progress.
All right. What I didn't realize was I. I was actually trying to set up
my clips so that I didn't have to pull them off of
the SD card. I recorded them to. And I took it upstairs
without realizing that. So I had to run upstairs real
quick and grab it so that my sound plant program could play the files as
I'm set. So now the cards in place, my clips are ready
to go. All 21 of them. How I did that? Holy shit.
Yeah, we'll be skipping. I'm proud of you. You're doing well.
Yeah. So we're recording on both backup
and. Yep. And regular. And your
phone was restarted the last time and we didn't have any issues. I don't know
if you got any texts, but. No. No, I got nothing. So we're
good. Okay, well, we'll see what happens on this and we'll try and get you
out of here as quick as possible on this one, too, so let's move.
I'm just trying to catch my breath before I do a big long. Yeah.
You know, breath holding shot. So that's true. I think. I believe. Okay,
so three, two, one.
Coat. Yeah. Jacket. Got you thinking about those pinky rings, aren't I?
Yeah, kind of. I gotta let this place. So I can catch my breath for
a little bit. Jesus, why do I do this to myself in
notes? I don't know. Especially for all the clips you
do, you still make yourself a lot of work.
I don't know how to show otherwise, I guess. Yeah. Yes, right? Yeah,
that's true. This is. This is how I show. I don't know how to show
otherwise. This is how I show. I got my clips up
somehow. I have to fix that later. 3,
2, 1.
The mistrust left behind when Cort found a way to free Matt and himself
of the burden of their character's rebuke went on for longer than either of
the dimwit Ted dipshits would want to admit. In the reality where what
would be a fictional evil cort exists. All he has ever been is that
character as he is played for laughs. I can assure you that mad scientists
with a fascistic twinge to them have no sense of humor about themselves
and want even less to be thought of as some kind of joke. Upon realizing
the origins of himself, his inventions, his very identity as a
fictional character who is badly written for the purposes of a lower
tier podcast with no moral compass, all versions of an evil
cort set to unmake all of creation with every variation
working on the same project with the same result. The Mobius loop
of Annihilation was able to break the scope of its realities of origin.
So while you're enjoying that, remember to kick the out of this week and
make it your bitch. We don't have time to play all of that song,
but it'll be in the pirate radio edit for you to hear it. Yay.
Since we got to get you out of here then we got to get this
done recording stopped.
