GAM Bonus 035: Godzilla (1998)

Hitting you crazy late with last month's bonus episode. We let our moms pick their least favorite movies of all time for Mother's Day; and you guys selected Noah's mom's pick. And made us look at two hours and twenty minutes of Matthew Broderick fighting a giant cricket with a rash.

When this came out on VHS we got it as an xmas present and immediately watched it three times in a row.

So fun fact, this was the only Godzilla movie I saw until I was a teen. I was aware that the Japanese movies existed somewhere but I never saw them, this was the only one that was on TV in my country (because it turns out our TV stations are some greedy shits, and we were poor), for years I thought that this was the best one and that this is how Godzilla was supposed to look, I wasn't even aware he was supposed to have nuclear breath. So I used to love this movie, when I saw that the guys reviewed it I went full Heath with the 80's movies. 😅

I want to watch Final Wars just for the scene where the OG Godzilla kills Zilla in under 30 seconds.

As bad as this movie was, and it is many degrees of awful, Jean Reno IS the best thing about it. He's the only reason it's even remotely watchable.

The best thing about this movie was The Wallflowers cover of Bowie's Heroes.

No Moore Alabama

I’m a bit late but FYI those weren’t Godzilla’s teeth coming through the walls of the fishing boat it was his claws

The Skeptical Junkyard

I love this movie, this is your second strike for unsubscribing

Dustin Nelson

How about Waterworld for the June bonus?

El Oso Café

The set up and delivery on the giant road runner joke was delightful. You guys are the best!

Rachael Craig

Wait, people think Independence Day is a bad movie?!

Michelle C

I love Godzilla '98. We are enemies now. PREPARE YOURSELF!

Bob Brady

I remember nearly dying from laughter at the first scene in the fishing ship... Not because the guy is "loo loo loo, doing Japan stuff" but the TV screen has a gigantic logo that says "相撲", sumo. I went "Yeah. Duh. Thanks for the info, Hollywood."

Aya Sakurai

That cartoon was the best thing to come out of this movie.

Danial Gibson

My 5 year old son's favorite movie is godzilla vs destroya

Hey if y’all wanna cleanse your pallets with actual good Godzilla there are actually a couple that aren’t just good bad. There’s the original of course, but then there’s also the 2016 remake Shin Godzilla, which is a remake of the original that actually steeped the Japanese academy awards for that year. My other recommendation is Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack, which is the best movie to have the worst possible title but trust me, I am a Godzilla expert.

Crazy billionaire money: Godzilla vs. Gingerdead Man!

Patrick Carr

“...born pregnant.” Like Tribbles?

Mark Siefert

Saw this movie when I was 10 years old and a huge Godzilla fan. It was probably my first-ever realization that movies could be disappointing.

Tyler Pascal Kampstra

I was 13 when this came out. It was the first time I realized a movie can be bad even if you hyped the shit out of it.

El Oso Café

I saw this at the cinema while really stoned. It was the loooooooongest crime against film ever shown. Just unbearable

Ulukai insert something persnickety here

I'm pretty sure Matthew Broderick and Hank Azaria don't have any fight scenes...

Heath is more than just puns dammit

Yay! I'm looking forward to June's episode in August! (Totally kidding, guys. You're awesome! Thanks!!)

Sandra McWaffle

Nah this is a classic.

PlatinumRMX

All right! The stompiest bonus episode to date.

Taru Tikkanen
