Godzilla – ep42 – 1998




Old Millennials Remember Movies show

Summary: Nobody who likes Godzilla likes "Godzilla," the mega-budget Hollywood monstrosity that made more money from its soundtrack than from box office returns. The guys behind "Independence Day" traded all their audience goodwill for a "fresh" new take on the famous movie titan, and by "fresh," we mean borrowing cool parts from "Jurassic Park" and making them infinitely shittier.<br> <br> More than 20 years later, Tyler and Angela revisit one of the most notorious bombs of the 1990s. What they find is a movie that's both terribly fascinating and fascinatingly terrible. Matthew Broderick is a worm scientist. Half the cast is comprised of "Simpsons" characters. Puff Daddy made an equally terrible music video! Plus the hats! All the characters wear weird hats.<br> Also discussed in this episode:<br> <br> Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)<br> Rocketman (2019)<br> <br> Our discussion on 1998 "Godzilla" begins at about the 11-minute mark.
