Godzilla Minus One
Manage episode 454747081 series 3438372
It's time for our last theme cycle of the year! Usually our themes are pretty broad and open to interpretation, allowing us to pick from the vast back-catalogue of movie history. For this round, we are restricting our picks to films released in the last year so we can all get a taste of modern cinema
Rising from the depths and bursting onto our screen this week is the 2023 film (it's a rolling 12 months...) Godzilla Minus One. Drawing heavily from the original 1954 film Gojira but not quite a remake or prequel, what we have here is a modern take on the monster movie that stays true to the earlier days with more focus on the human aspect and post-war Japan.
We also dive somewhat heavily into a discussion on modern cinema, a perceived decline in the industry, the horror renaissance, the diminishing power of the professional critic and our specific issues with modern film. There's also a top 10 fun facts about Godzilla so make sure to check that out.
