Seeing as Jim made his triumphant return to the movie theater for the first time in well over a year, it’s only fitting that the boys spend a little time talking about the (very dumb) film ushering people out of the pandemic, Godzilla vs. Kong.
Skip ahead to 26:30 to avoid spoilers and a discussion of all things related to large beings destroying tiny cityscapes and to get to the main event, the discussion on Brian Yuzna’s directorial debut, Society. Joining to discuss the film that only gets grosser as it gets older is James’s partner in life and crime, Corinne Corrosive!
The film’s narrative logic – or lack thereof – may not hold up any better than its 1980sness, but man oh man are those practical effects from Screaming Mad George still nauseating and it’s scary how the film’s themes of the rich feeding on the poor have become all the more relevant today. Perhaps if Trump runs again in 2024, he should be honest with everyone and run on the Shunting Party card.
