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 alone

and welcome to the 512th consecutive week of

Cinema Psyops. This episode represents not only 512

consecutive releases of this show. It also represents

eight more to go before we are done with doing that shit. And just as

stoked as I am to be able to hear those words being spoken by me

is my co host, Matt. I love eating short ribs, man.

Spare beef ribs. God, they're so good. I am also a fan of

beef ribs. There's a particular barbecue place that's actually very

close to my. I'll tell you the name off air. But, you know, unless they're

going to pay me in, like, free ribs for a plug, I'm not plugging them

on the show. Because if you're in Omaha, you should already know the place exists.

That's all I'm saying. I would. I would totally do a plug for free

ribs. I would do a lot more than just a plug for free ribs.

And some of that stuff may be illegal in some states. I'll do some

absolutely criminal shit for a Klondike bar and some free ribs.

But the Klondike bar comes after the ribs.

How can you have your pudding if you don't eat your meat? Yeah, if you

can't eat your meat, you can't have your pudding. That's just how it's gonna go.

Yeah. That's how life is. All right, so we're finally finishing up

the Rebirth of Mothra series with my film rebirth of Mothra 3, released in

1998, also the year that I graduated from high school.

Hey. Yeah. So when these were on Sci Fi, I know

I was still at home with my parents, I think, so I think I may

have actually seen these, like, during my cut day at school.

Oh, wow. Yeah. For my senior year maybe or something. But I remember catching

them on something like Sci Fi. But my parents had digital cable at the.

So who knows? It might have even been Showtime that these were on. Who fucking

knows? You know what I'm saying? But I had gotten mad. However it gotta work.

Yeah. And I do remember watching all three of them. I remember laughing my fucking

ass off at the creature that peed all over the kid's leg and why wouldn't

you in the last movie? And like, he got healed and I just thought that

was the funniest shit ever that they decided to have magical pee. I just shook

my head and laughed and I enjoyed all the monster fights that were in your

film. Yep. Then we got to my film in this marathon that was being

played that I remember catching on cable somewhere. And Jesus fucking Christ,

Ghidorah is absolutely terrifying. But what a weird hybrid of

plots and ideas that this film is. It. It doesn't make a whole lot of

sense and I'm going to do my best to try and explain it for everybody.

No, it's like they had three different stories they wanted to tell and they

tried. Yeah. This is. It's a massive attempt at an epic

that is 103 million years in the making. More or less.

Yeah. Like, I mean, they want some time travel. They want some kids trapped in

an evil dome. They want multiple versions of Gedra that can

exist simultaneously. We have time travel fuck ups,

we have causality, failures, all sorts of weird shit.

I'm happy this was your movie. Yeah. Considering my love

of that kind of alternate realities and multiple realities and

how time travel doesn't quite work the way everybody thinks it's gonna work. I'm glad

that I did choose this. And I will freely admit I pulled

a selfish because I realized Ghidra was in this and said I want this one

for me. And I was happy because I got furry who

could pee on people. Yeah. Just so bizarre. So bizarre these

last two films. But I'm gonna. Like I said, I'm gonna do my best to

try and explain it, but if the film doesn't explain it and I couldn't put

it in one of the many clips, and when I say many, I mean 24.

Some of them are almost five seconds. Like I just literally clipped

all of the dialogue. Cause I'm like, fuck it. I'm not trying to recreate this

or explain it. Right. So there we go. Jesus Christ, man.

We're gonna be here forever. No, we won't be here forever because I'm

not playing the longest ones for you. And I'm going to do.

What will end up happening is the full episode will be released. Everybody that

listens to the episode will have the full of the clips and they will be

here forever. Nerds.

But they are choosing to listen to us,

Matt. There is a difference. They choose to listen to us because they find us

entertaining. Why do they choose stalkers?

Yeah, I don't want to think about it too. Or taste. Because, yeah. I mean,

if you like us, you have to. I mean, but anyway.

Jesus Christ. Yeah, I don't want to think about any of that. Go outside,

touch the fucking grass. All right, enough assaulting the audience.

We don't have that many left as is. Thank you. All right, sorry, My bad.

Sorry, everyone. Let's take the break here. Let's try and bring

everyone back from Matt's manic episode he just had in insulting you all.

We're gonna play The Legion Patreon. Adam, we're gonna play the Legion Patreon

ad. And immediately following that on the pirate radio edit like we've been doing all

along. Songs released or in the top 100 for 1998.

And up first will be Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with the song you and Me

and the Bottle Makes three tonight. Immediately following that. Yeah, this'll keep

it. Hi there. I didn't see ya.

Testing the paradox sustaining devices that are essential to the function

of the Mobius loop of annihilation has proven difficult in the labs of Seven

Quartz all in one Edison manufacturing business that is in no way a center

for outlandish claims that are almost always shown to be false with time.

Seriously, why would you even think that? Their stock price is inflated by

lies and propped up by shady investors using it to pump and dump money through

market manipulation. That is just not how they harvest money from foolish investors.

And I will thank you once again for not believing this would be the case.

As I was saying before you so rudely brought up the fact that the only

thing Zevon is allegedly capable of creating is chaos and stock manipulation

ploys. Testing the paradox sustaining devices that are essential to the

function of the Mobius Loop of annihilation has proven difficult. In the labs,

the Collective were able to verify this through the audio taken from video surveillance footage

that somehow miraculously survived the media it was stored on, being mostly destroyed.

It's miraculous in that we got exactly the format we needed for it to reach

your ears of this pivotal event as it happened in just the right moment for

us to capture it and further the plot of this story. It is almost as

though this is all being written badly by an author with no writing skills and

a poor imagination. The Collective agreed that we would no longer allow

personal religious apocryphal beliefs to enter the discussion and stick to the

observable facts in this matter. The very existence of the experience of suffering,

the endurance of pain, the complete and the total death toll of injustice in

the multiverse is a major point of contention and creates a catch all to

offer some comfort in the form of an explanation that not verifiable and therefore

improbable. If the author is somehow all powerful and benevolent, why would they

allow such evil and torment to exist? If we are to not interfere and not

push personal beliefs and ideology, why are you here pushing your own random events

beliefs into the transmissions? This isn't even your assigned dimensional

loop to communicate with, Boris. I am effective. As of the start of this shift,

the main processing quality Assurance and redundancy Elimination,

Supervisor of these transmissions. And I am telling you to stop trying

to teach the Great Authorship during the remedy Medial educational clips explaining what

is happening as their timeline collapses.

Ah, the late 90s, whenever the big Band swing

revival hit. And there were so many fucking songs that sounded like they were

released in 1939. And it was nice, dude.

God, what a time to be alive. It was like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

The Cherry Popping Daddies had the one song that was like a big hit for

them. And then there was what other? There was another big band.

Well, I guess technically the Squirrel Nut Zippers could kind of fit in there.

As well, because they were mighty, mighty Boss tones. Nah, they were more scar.

They just had that like, you know, the big band thing with that. But they

did more scar than actually. Being like big bands, I suppose. I mean, you know,

they. They can. At least they can waffle.

Yeah, but it was there. It existed. It was a thing that you have to

recognize was. You know, it's a thing. We all did it that one time.

Everyone got dressy. That's it. We can move on.

Yeah. I mean, I may or may not have or have not purchased the single

of that Cherry Poppin Daddy song that I can't even think of the name of

now. I think the Big Band swing even got me back then, and I'm not

ashamed to admit it. So that's not. It was some. The Cherry Poppin, was it

like a devil song too? Something like that? I don't know. Yeah. Hell by the

Squirrel Nut Zippers. Hell yeah. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. All right, enough talking about

the Big Band swing revival of the 90s. Let's get into the death of Mothra

in the 90s with Rebirth of Mothra 3, 1998.

All right, I've cracked open my first beer. Let's talk about this shit.

Let's time travel, motherfuckers. All right, so the first third opens with

dialogue. It's only a few seconds, but fuck it, that's our first clip.

As long as you live, you shall have hope.

Personally, I find that rather presumptuous. Lady I know,

right? Who the fuck do you think you know here? Yeah, Because I have no

hope right now. I have zero. No, I ain't got nothing like that.

Fuck off, you fucking hope. All right, so after the clip, the title card pops

up to tell us the name of the film. During the opening credits, we fly

over Infant island, set to the sound of a Casio keyboard of this era with

just the demo button pressed Yeah, I. Mean, it's just the demo. Don't.

Don't anybody have to worry about nothing. It's just a demo. Things are falling from

the ceiling. And we hear the sounds of things being tossed about above and

in the air. A stone tablet then falls to the ground. So do a bunch

of pots that then explode all over the floor. And then a few other things

that are similar to that. They all break once, hitting the floor. Before we see

a super fancy looking lockbox hit the floor with a dull thud. There is

a key sized person dragging a key towards the box trying to

open the box. With that said key we can assume it is

this movie's Rita Repulsa or this version of it that we had seen in all

the other films. We then see that it is actually her. Once she hops inside

of the open box and reads off some stuff to create some more dialogue.

That became our second clip. Wisdom.

Courage. Love.

Elvira. What are you doing?

Mal.

Garagaru. Mal. Lara.

I'm sure you must have heard about it. The Elias Triangle.

The Elias Triangle holds the secret power that protects us

from disaster. No one knows what it is or even where it's

located. You never wanted to know. We never

needed to know. Not until now.

Look what I've got in my hand.

I'm taking them.

Barry. Keep them. You'll need them.

The King of Terror.

Wisdom. What does the other one say? It looks like Courage.

Courage. Courage and wisdom.

Laura, give me the other one.

This one doesn't fit. I'm sure it fits Belvira's sword though.

So the one that she took. That was for your sword.

What is it? I'm worried about what she said. Wasn't it the King of Terror?

I think she meant the King of Terror is coming. So. Interesting coincidence.

In the Japanese version with the subtitles they

refer to him as the Beelzebub of the stars or something like that. Like they

even play it up even more severe. And whatever this creature is, is going to

be super evil. We already know it's Ghidra. But even still. Yeah, it's Ghidra.

It's a three headed fucking dragon. We're well aware. Go ahead.

God damn, ladies. You don't have to play hard to get with fucking

Ghidra. They always do that where they don't want to admit it's Ghidra even though

it's Ghidra. Yeah, we all know it's fucking Ghid. They cut from

that to a bad CGI rendering of a meteor hurtling towards a bad cgi.

Rendering of the earth. And I feel really sad wondering what a model version

would have looked like instead. Yeah, the model version would have been a lot

better. This was not good. The meteor explodes into the atmosphere

and they cut to Fujiyashida City in Yamamashi.

Yaman, Yamanashi. We know this because it is put up on a title card.

And I'm trying to pronounce it based solely on that. Good job.

You know what? You tried. You gave it. You gave it the

old, you know, college try. Good job. Cork. We follow with

a dude driving a box truck and having a snack While he's doing it.

He notices the meteor shower and resulting light show as he is driving

and starts staring at it while still being mobile,

which is a bad idea. Dude, Distracted driving is a thing.

Yeah. They cut from that to what I assume is this movie's kids.

And they annoy us all in the dub in our third clip.

Here you go. Thank you. What's the matter with

them? They look like they're afraid.

Of what? Shouta, come and try this.

Go on, taste it. Well, I think it

needs more spice, this one. Well, what do you think? You need some

lemon juice? The onion. I think you need to chop it a little finer.

Oh, okay. Hey,

it's dad. Welcome home.

Hey, kids. Hi dad. Here, these are

for you. Hey, come on.

I'm home. Hi. Welcome home, dear.

Here. Hi, dad. Hi. Wow, it's huge. Where did you

get it? It was a gift from old Tanaka. Oh, how nice. Hey,

come here. All right, let's see.

Are you strong today? Ooh, you're getting

stronger. Are you tired? No. Hey.

Off. Yeah. A drink? Ah, thank you. Thank you.

Perfect. Now try a little of

that. Sure. Wow. Did you make

this? Shota helped me. Shota? So how did you know that's what I wanted?

I used my imagination. Imagination?

Hey, guess what? The sky's full of shooting stars.

Really? Let's go and see. Wow.

Where did it land?

Yoki Forest. There's another. The film

follows the meteor that strikes down at Katsuyama city, Fuki, I think.

That's right. I don't know. We know this because it's on the title card that

pops up to tell us that. So you can see it written down, but I'm

not sure I'm pronouncing it right. Anyway, the meteor starts to glow a bunch of

different shades between red and purple and then starts glowing really like

an almost golden. Look all over it as everything around it starts to have this

almost anti gravity effect where it all lifts up off of the ground and away

from the glowing orb. It cuts from that to a helicopter flying around. And then

the annoying kids in our. It's heading to the forest.

Goodbye, my little friend. Don't forget your bag now.

Oh, sorry we're late,

Chota, here's your lunch. Oh, thank you.

No mustard in yours. Thanks. Chota, I hope someday you'll go back to

school. I think it's time, so have a good day, son. Bye, honey.

Huh? Is it because I've got a job? What do you mean? Is that why

he's not going to school? Of course not. Then what's wrong with him? I really

don't know. He's got his own ideas about things.

Mommy, I know why he doesn't go to school. Why's that, sweetie?

He's like this girl, Yuriko in my class. She cries when she eats her

school lunch. She cries. It's not fair. They make her eat all the food even

though she hates it. But, sweetheart, the school lunches, they're good for her

health. It's good for her to do something she doesn't want to. It's not fair

to force her. They can't make people do things they don't want to do.

Hey, the bus is here. Jota, listen to me.

Stay away from the Aoki forest today. Bye,

Daddy. Have nice a day, okay? Bye. Have a

good day. After the clip, they cut to the meteor crash site that

is now an apocalyptic wasteland. The pixie ladies fly in and do an expository

dialogue into our ear holes in our fifth clip. That's not really a meteorite.

Is it from space? It came from Earth.

It's some sort of fossil. Except it's alive.

Alive?

Dinosaurs. What? This had

something to do with the dinosaurs,

but they died millions of years ago.

130 million years. And thousands of them were

wiped out. So what is it doing on Earth now?

I think it's come back. What?

It killed off the dinosaurs and now it's returned.

It can only be one thing. The creature has returned from the past.

King Ghidorah. Get in over here.

Get in that spot. Come on. Get it. All right, come on.

Come on. Hey, Matt. I got it.

Pass it to me. I got a spot.

Yeah, Come on. Shoot. Come on, come on.

Yeah. Okay, so during the

clip, we actually see Ghidra's shadow fly over a bunch of kids.

And they quite literally disappear or disintegrate or whatever. The kid who refuses to go

to or whatever it is that happens. They just basically disappear whenever

the shadow passes Over. We see that at the school and everything like that.

Then they cut to the kid who refuses to go to school sneaking off

on his bike to the woods that he was strictly forbidden to go to.

And then dumps his bike. Never listen. And then he dumps his bike to

go snooping at the impact site. They cut from the kid to King Ghidra

flying around and followed by the Pixie twins who noticed something

in our sixth clip. King Ghidorah.

Why aren't there any children? Millions of years ago it

killed off the dinosaurs. But this time we must call Mothra.

I included a little bit of the music video for everybody. Yeah. I was gonna

say even did the music. Huh? Nice. Just a small part of it. I always

like the. At least the first line where they're like, I just. I like it.

I don't know why. I just do. And at the end of the clip,

that starts the obligatory music video sequence of the ladies voguing it up and sing

to Mothra to summon her or strengthen her or whatever it is that needs to

be done just so we can get some fucking Kaiju action on this fucking screen.

This is complete with dis. Let's get going, huh? This is complete with

disappointing CGI of Infinite island that is quickly cut from to show the absolutely gorgeous

Mothra flying around. Before it cuts to Ghidra flying around and destroying model

cities and looking evil as fuck as he does it. There is obvious early CG

compositing stuff being done. We mentioned it in the last episode and this is where

it is. Here they're doing it instead of model work for the destruction. And it

makes me sad. Even if it's mostly a that they're animating in. I just don't

like it. It just doesn't look right and it doesn't feel right. Yeah. Right.

This movie, it's got it. You can't

just have things be a model. All right? Why can't things just be a model?

Is what I mean. This movie represents the ending of an era. And it continues

to be less and less model work and suitimation and more and more CG stuff.

And it makes me sad. We're entering that phase and it's just sad. It's when

your childhood dies, motherfucker. It cuts from this monster action

to the kid who won't go to school snooping around a cave. And he comes

out to another entran the cavern to find the meteor thing has

become a bad CGI dome. And then we see within that bad CGI

dome All the kids who King Ghidra had snagged up, they are now magically

appearing within this cage thing that is this dome. Then a bully ass

kid snags some other kid's soccer ball and yeets it the fuck at

the bad CGI dome, which transforms the ball itself into some bad CGI that

disintegrates, freaking out all the kids who go running around inside of a dome Dome

that will hurt them if they reach the edges. So why are they running back

and forth? They should just all run to the middle and stay there. Well,

because they're kids, so they're stupid. That's fair. They cut back to the

kid who won't go to school still snooping around outside the bad

CGI death dome. They cut from that to show Ghidra flying overhead and approaching

the death room. And this suitimation and flying composite looks amazing.

They put some money into this one and it looks great. Yeah, it's good stuff.

He lands and surrounds the dome with his wings. And this sends the kids

running to hide behind anything and everything and screaming their little heads

off. They stay with the suit for Ghidra for a while. And I am here

for this stuff all day until they deny me it. And cut to the annoying

ass class cutting kid and his shenanigans. We cut from him to

the pixie ladies doing us some dialogue. And that is our seventh clip.

Oh, that's where it's keeping the children.

Mothra. Hurry. Look,

I'm glad they explained that that's where he's keeping the children. But we still don't

know why he's like disintegr children and placing them inside this weird death dome.

Yeah, right. They're not really explaining all that to us. Yeah, we don't

know why. We just know that this is happening. And then they're also surprised by

that. So yes, like I've said before in the past when it comes to Kaiju

movies and logic, essentially the thing happened, now you have to deal with it.

We don't know why. We just. It happened and here we are. Yeah, yeah.

So, you know, just be, you know,

ready for all this. And with that, at the end of the clip when they

say Mothra should hurry, Mothra flies in to save the day. Though her attacks seem

to have no effect on this King Ghidra. Ghidra takes off and Mothra pursues

him in a terrific flying sequence that is better than

any of the flying stuff we got with the small pixie ladies and

their dragging riding evil Rita repulsive Sister. That stuff was composited badly and

did not look good. And some of it was CG that looked really bad.

Just wanted to. Yeah, it was just not great. They had little mini

models that were flying models of both Mothra and this version of King Ghidra.

And that shit was great. And they did good work with that. It was really

well done. Well, during the battle, Mothra is hitting Ghidra with

tons of laser and lightning attacks. Then a dive bomb spinning

lightning attack looks particularly cool too. But looking cool doesn't cut it when

it comes to defeating this King Ghidra, as none of these attacks I just described

seems to be actually working on him or doing anything to him. That's a little

scary. Yeah. No. King Ghidra seems to be impervious to

the pain. Ghidra responds with his fire breath attack that hits and

clearly damages Mothra very quickly. Then he hits her with a barrage of

these before hitting her with lightning from his wings and then dropping down onto

her with a double leg stomp drop that smashes Mothra to

the ground, causing the Pixie ladies to scream out, mothra. And it also made

me pop with a massive work like that. I was like, oh, fuck,

yeah. No, that was good shit. One of the first things that popped

into my head was that old wrestling thing of that moth had a family.

As God is my witness, that moth is broken in half.

Insult and injury both is piled on to Mothra as we watch Ghidorah

basically. Basically fucking river dance all over her wings. It's horrific,

the stomping that he does. Yeah, it's bad. Leaving her pinned and

vulnerable to his attacks as he keeps doing this. This is so fucking brutal.

That moth had a family. That Moth did have a family. Those two

twins. And now they don't. I mean, we don't know what's going on. Just as

I typed that, two of the Ghidra heads bite down on Mothra at the wings

and start tossing her around everywhere as the middle head strikes at her. During all

of this, that was. The referee needs to stop the damn match. Yeah. This was

brutal. The Pixie ladies fire a mini laser from their mini

Mothra and then get some kind of weird red light

on them with a sound effect when they get too close to one of Ghidra's

eyes. Ghidra then tosses Mothra far into the air and all three heads

blast her with their fire breath or heat ray or whatever it's supposed to be,

which sends her careening into the Pixie ladies and fairy who Then spin

out of control and nearly smack into the Class Cutter. Kid Barry corrects its flight

pattern and then the sister in blue turns on the sister in orange as she

tries to strangle her. They fall off a ferry in the fight and it dives

to rescue them as Mothra crashes to the ground. And Ghidra goes

flying over populated areas to dish out some more destruction.

He goes off collecting more kids as the Class Cutter's little brother

and sister get swept up in the Ghidra transporter to the Death Dome with the

rest of the kids. While the school evacuates in a panic, they wake up inside

of the Death Dome and make some noises with their taki holes in our eighth

club. Oh.

Help us. Help, help us. Someone save us.

I think we'll stay clear of that.

At the end of the clip, a bunch of weird worm looking tentacle things that

are terrible CGI come out and attack them, dragging them into the

dome. That struggle takes long enough to get us past the first third of the

film. We are now one third of the film down, finally. Yeah. And so,

yeah, we're getting some King Ghidra action and completely just utterly destroying

Mothra. So I guess that's happening. Yeah. The wrestling

maneuvers in this where Ghidra was doing the attack, and then the one portion

where, like, he picks Mothra up and just tosses her into the air and

then all three heads blast fire at her to drag her across. That was all

really good stuff. That was very entertaining. I was really digging that

and having a blast. But it took us a little while to get here.

I mean, I split it up into thirds. So we're talking 33 to

34 minutes before we really get to the action. We have some of this Kaiju

battle stuff. And before that has been kind of a slog, a bit annoying.

And other than the mom is kind of hot and a bit of a milf,

I mean. Yeah, like real nice,

though. Real nice. Yeah, she is quite attractive and she wears pigtail

the entire time. And I'm just. I'm here for that fucking cliche all day,

I guess. Yeah, right. Thank you.

I do have to admit, they are better parents than

we've seen in the previous Godzilla films and some of the other Kaiju

films. They care about their kids. One of their kids is, you know, having some

trouble and doesn't want to go to school. At least the parents are together here.

I'm just saying. Yeah. And they're really kind of concerned about the kid. They don't

know what to do, but they Aren't trying to force him to go back to

school whenever he's got some problems. He's really good at being a

Little Chef and a bit of a cook, so they're encouraging that in him.

Trying to get him to kind of come out of his shell and get some

confidence and stuff. You know, the dad's kind of paying attention to each of the

kids and being, like, super kind to them at certain moments. And it just feels

completely fake and nothing like any real family, essentially. Yeah. No.

Yeah. If you grew up and experienced something that supportive and wonder your life,

then good for you. The rest of us did not have parents like this.

I mean, I had supportive parents.

Well, good for you. You had parents like this. I did not. But I still

turned out like a giant piece of shit. Well, that's more your fault than theirs

then, huh? Yeah. Yeah, definitely. No, this is all on me. All right, let's move

on to the next third of the film. What do you think? Yes. All right,

so the middle third starts with the Class Cutter spying on things with his little

mini binoculars. The warm tentacle things come out for the class cutter and

they are yelled at by the remaining pixie lady and riding on the

fairy cre creature in our ninth clip. Stay away from

him. You're a very lucky boy.

King Ghidorah tried to capture you. King Ghidorah? What are you doing here?

It's my sister. She's inside that dome. King Ghidorah is

holding thousands of children prisoner in there. Prisoner? What for?

Because. To kill them.

My name is Mal. This is Fairy. And you? Sonada.

And your first name? It's Shota. Shota.

What's wrong? It's my sister. She's there too.

They cut from this to a gorgeous shot of Gidras flying into a major city.

And then to a newscast playing at a panicked office with the MILF

mama. Both the Class cutter and the brats we followed when they went to the

school that they all got kidnapped from. All that is in our 10th clip.

This puzzling phenomenon seems to have left no city on the

island of Hanshu unaffected. Mr. Sonata,

what's happening? Happening? With over 3,000 children reported missing

the last day. Mr.

Akira, I'm Tamako and Shuhei's mother and I. Yes? I've heard

terrible things on the radio and the television. They're saying that. Where are they?

Sweetheart? It was on the radio. Children disappearing. What's going on

here? Tamako and Shuhei have disappeared too. That right? Hey, now, take it

easy. Your kids are not the only ones missing, you know. All our students have

gone. A total of 5002028 kids. And it's not only our

school either. It's an update on the missing children. The enormous dome that

suddenly appeared in the Aoki forest this morning appears to be connected to

the disappearance of the children. Police and helicopters flying over the translucent dome

reported that they saw hundreds of children inside and that all of them appear to

be alive.

Shouta knows how to get there. The wind came.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Run.

You see, Lara is a very kind and generous person. That's how King

Ghidorah was able to turn her against me. Nice people are always

taken advantage of. That's too bad. Somehow it knew

if Lara and I were separated, Mothra's power would be weakened and she'd be

vulnerable. It knows my sisters down there.

Have you come to this place before? It's the Wind Cave, an ancient lava

flow. It's the entrance to a library.

It's where I come when I want to be alone.

Where's the other one? What? You said sisters.

I did? Won't you Help you out? What is it? Don't you like

each other? In my experience, the eldest child always has

a much harder time than the younger one.

What's that smell?

That's Mothra. Right? Don't worry. Mothra can sense the

difference between good and evil.

Shouta. Yes? Go on. The end of the clip starts

a long sequence of the kid being awe inspired by the beauty of Mothra.

In silence with some dramatic music to sell the experience. And it's working for me,

I'll admit it. Yeah, it's nice. They cut back from that

to the MILF mom and the father arriving back at their home in the box

truck her husband drives looking for the class cutting kid of theirs

who promised to stay home and was a fucking liar. In our 11th clip,

Shona Chanta.

Choda. Shouta.

Choda Chowdha. Shouta.

Here. Huh? Look.

Hey, his bike's gone. I told him not to go

to the forest. Come on, hurry.

Lara. Laura. What on earth

are you doing in here? It's too dangerous. It's an evil place. I think this

is King Ghidorah's base. He has awful plans. He's gonna destroy the human race.

Laura.

I see. He's possessed you. Has he?

Laura. What happened to math?

That boy, he just ignores everything I.

Say to him these days. I told you you should have used the belt

on it more often. Over.

Right. You stay here. Don't move from this spot.

You understand?

Oh, no. Let's go. They cut from the end of the clip

to Ghidra flying into the city and destroying buildings with his flame

breath attack. That animates them into CGI explosions or bad compositing

shots of explosions. All of which are very disappointing because they weren't blowing up models.

I'm sad. Yeah, we're all sad. There is also. We had to grow up.

Can't be Peter Pan forever. There is also the prerequisite

fleeing and terrified citizens as all of this bad CGI explosion and

compositing is happening. They cut away from that to our 12th clip.

That's King Ghidorah. He's coming. What now? What can we do to stop him?

What's that? What's Mothra saying?

Arakura maraqui makura da.

Maul. Maul. What did she say? Say? She said

there's a way. There's only one way to stop King Ghidorah. That's great, but Mothra

can't do it. Can't do what? To travel so far back in time.

How far? 130 million years. The time when King Ghidorah

first came to Earth. Mar.

What'S happening? Will she go?

Back then, King Ghidorah was only a baby, right? Mothra could crush him.

Not for sure. Even back then, it slaughtered thousands of dinosaurs.

There was another. But King Ghidorah was powerful from the start.

Besides, Laura's gone.

Cantata Irabo Yara Karatakura

Kuraka.

I asked Mathra to wait for Lara to come back,

but she has refused. She knows she

won't be able to return from the past.

She won't come back. No, she won't.

But this fight has to be fought.

No matter how forbidding the task. It is my duty to

fight this terrible evil.

The scope of the mind is unlimited.

It can reach where arms can't. Through any barrier,

through concrete, through anything you can think

of. Even through time. And with that,

it appears Mothra is now traveling back through time. And the solo Pixie lady

sings yet another music video song solo to power up and encourage Mothra.

Or so I assume. I don't know. This takes up. Yeah, this takes

up a lot of screen time and really pads out the film.

But during the sequence, Mothra turns into Mega Mothra,

like we saw earlier in the version that was empowered by the water spirit and

Mega Matt's film. And that's what she turns into to travel through time as

well. This sequence ends with the Pixie Lady Falling off a fairy

at the start of our 13th clip. Mal.

What's the matter? Mal. She's there. That's good news. Now she'll

destroy King Ghidorah. I have a request. Laura is trapped inside the dome.

Mothra needs her power more than ever. Without it, she will lose the fight.

I need you. Me? I can't. Laura loves the innocence of

children. I think you. You can break the spell on her. But I can't even

go to school. I'm too afraid. No, you're not afraid. You're just very sensitive

to the way that people treat you. You can't stand anger or intimidation.

And that's a good thing. Go now. Take this with

you. It will give you courage. But I

shot to please. Thank you.

Mal. Mal.

Mold. Maul. With that,

the young pixie lady's clothing pixelates into a bunch of strange octagon

like shapes. And her skin turns blue as she freezes or some shit.

I don't know. It just. Just happened. She just becomes this inanimate fucking stone like

object. And the kid shouts her name a bunch like you heard there at the

end of the clip. The film then cuts from that to Mothra flying around in

the dinosaur times. That gives us some great fucking model work for the

terrain. And some really nice puppeted dinosaurs. Like a brontosaurus

and a T. Rex. Really digging this sequence as it's happening here.

There is a really nice sequence of a puppeted herd of triceratops

being hunted by a puppeted T Rex. That looks and feels terrific to see.

They cut from that to the pinned evil sister finding

one of the knife blade power up plugins that are there for her knife.

She is pinned by her mecha dragon and kicks it several times to

have it respond by blasting out some purple looking lightning. And then

it cuts to the parents in the cave system for our 14.

Be careful. Come on.

Take it. Got it.

Careful. Careful now.

Come on.

Come on.

Just a minute. Okay, I'm getting ready. No matter

how difficult, this is my duty. Come on.

Why don't you take me as well? Coward.

Scared of me or something?

Laura. Tamako. Chuhei.

Juhei. Tamako.

The chamber suddenly starts filling up with some strange blue liquid that may

or may not dissolve things as it touches it. As we see it do some

damage to a backpack that fell in there. But then it just kind of stops

flowing. And it's just there to keep the kids away from the center. Whatever.

That's just what happened. The kids all scramble in fear.

And the film cuts away from this to dinosaur times as the T. Rex is

attacking a trifle Triceratops. This attack is interrupted by a younger Ghidorah

attacking the T Rex and picking it up in one of its mouths. It goes

for the Triceratops as well with the other mouth, but is blasted by an

off screen Mothra that we see approaching in the light of the moon to deal

out some damage to this thing. They have a death ray, animated laser and

lightning blast fight that goes on for a while before Mothra has the upper

hand. And then we see the modern looking Ghidra holding

children hostage in a cut. He is being affected by this

past battle. And then the the film cuts into the class cutting

kid who decides it is working and says so. And then it

cuts back to Mothra attacking the younger Ghidra with more fire

blasts in prehistoric times. Some more lightning and laser attacks being tossed

back and forth between the two of them. But they are actually still hurting each

other. This one is weak enough for this version of Ghidra to actually have Mothra

do some damage. At one point Ghidra gets tired of this shit and tail smacks

Mothra to the fucking ground and starts baking her alive with heat

ray blasts that actually have some parts of the Mothra sculpt catching

on fire and burning. Mothra gets back into the air and scrapes up the

middle Ghidra head with the claws at the ends of her little tiny

legs. A rare physically violent attack from Mothra. Usually she's doing some kind of

laser attack or tasering or trying to take care of things in as nonviolent a

way as possible. She went straight for blood for this one. Yes.

Time to die. She is blasted away from Ghidra with a heat

ray and the pair take off to do an in air battle sequence.

As Ghidra changes chases this Mothra. It cuts away from this to all of

the screaming brats in the future up against the ghidra in our 15th floor.

Laura.

Laura. Stay back. Don't come any closer.

Stay away.

Laura, Mothra needs your help.

Mole sent me here. You have to help her.

No, don't. Laura. If you kill a human

being, it will mean the end of everything.

Young man, take a look at Laura.

Laura. It was Mole's last request.

Or last.

Laura. Mole told me that

you love the innocence of children.

Now you have a chance to save many children.

So that's the answer.

Wrigley, give her star to me.

Courage, wisdom and love. These three forces combined

make a super powerful force.

Courage, wisdom and love. They don't work separately, but when the.

Three come together, they make the Elias Triangle. All right,

So I don't know why, but at some point in time, the Rita Repulsa

knockoff that all along has been wanting humanity to die does a complete face

turn here that isn't really explained. Just all of a sudden realizing the Elias

Triangle and what it is makes her want to be good and not destroy humans

all of a sudden. Yeah, I guess. Again,

I also don't know why for the face turn. But I mean.

All right, yeah, you do agree, right? It comes completely out of left field and

like out of nowhere. Yeah, out of nowhere. They don't even set it up.

Like even at the beginning of this film she kind of is like, well,

I want this thing to happen and destroy all humans and this down gonna help.

So, you know, or these, these, these three things are supposed to be a powerful

weapon that I don't want you to have or whatever. And then she has a

face turn when it's finally time to watch the humans get destroyed. I think it's

because she's locked in there with all those terrified children. And maybe she feels a

little guilty. Maybe, maybe there's a little guilt that

she does feel guilt on all the other movies as well. So. All right,

so after the clip, we finally cut to see the Mothra and young Ghidra in

an air fighting sequence. And it is where they obviously

spent some of this budget because it looks author at some

point blasts off a section of Ghidra's tail and we

see the future baby snatcher version falls to the ground and is in pain.

And then they cut to show us the severed bit of tail burying

itself in front of a very confused Triceratops and T. Rex,

who seem rather perplexed by this, but I don't know what that signifies or if

that means he's like taking seeds so that he can show up later or what

that even fucking means. But that's just what happened and that's what was on screen.

So there you go, listen, that's. That's how it's going to go right now.

All right. And that sequence of the perplexed puppets of the T. Rex and Triceratops

watching the gidger tails sort of bury itself into the earth like a tick takes

us over the 2/3 mark of the film. So we are now 2/3 down.

Jesus. Takes a little bit to get here and you're going to get lost

16 ways from Sunday, but here you are. Yeah,

I don't understand a lot of the Choices that they made in this film and

the story points. It feels like maybe this got cut up and it could have

used a little bit more of the overdub expository dialogue just kind

of telling us some stuff. But they just kind of have a character. They did

this in the last film with those evil guys who did an immediate face turn

whenever they thought they were gonna die. But this lady, I think this is the

first time that she's actually come face to face with the idea that there may

actually be innocent humans because she's dealing with children who are more or less innocent

and have no idea what it is that she has a gripe with what humans

are doing to the earth. And I think by realizing that there is a potential

to maybe correct the course of humanity,

she wants to give them a shot now you. And then she just talks about

differing opinions need to be changed because she can't

let all of humans be destroyed. But her opinion was that all humans should be

destroyed in every other film. And the pixie

ladies that ride on the Staten island fairy monster thing, they all

want to keep humans from dying. And that was a difference of opinion. So if

your difference of opinion was all humans need to die and all humans don't need

to die, then you change your difference of opinion and work with your sisters anyway.

So then you've changed your opinion because you don't want all humans to die.

Yeah. But still just a weird time for it to come out

again. And the way that they just kind of describe it where she's literally like,

we have a difference of opinion. But you've always been saying all along that humans

should die. So what is this difference of opinion that all of a sudden you

decided to give up? Because that doesn't make any again. It just happens. So don't

spend too much time thinking about it. Let's just move on, guys. It's a Kaiju

movie. Let's not put too much anything into the human characters.

Let's move to the run to the end. What do you think? Let's do it.

All right. So the run to the end begins with a cut to the now

very blue child prison Death dome thing of Ghid. And they cut

inside where the dragon rider is attacking the dome with her new triforce

sword that she just made. And she makes her robot dragon thing fire a blast

off as well. As she tells the class cutter kid to wake up her

sister and get her in on this fight, which she attempts to do by

telling us all Mothra is losing the film. Then Cuts to the prehistoric

battle and we see that Mothra is in fact losing here and she

is grabbed by the side heads and tossed to the ground as

all three heads. Heat ray blaster. Looks like Ghidra has not lost this move because

he used it later on to really good effect in the future when he's trying

to fight her here with it. She already knows what's coming, but he hits her

with the heat ray blast, forcing her to crash land on the ground with

her legs up and looking super prone and helpless. Right after

that happens, Mothra flops her way around until she is able to get into

the air and narrowly escape a devastating double leg stomp drop

from the sky as Ghidra smashes down into the earth, exactly where

Mothra was. I'm glad she figured out how to avoid that because I. I don't

think she would have survived this attack. No, Mothra would have been dead there.

Ghidra starts a terrifying dead ass run at the fleeing Mothra,

snapping at and ripping away pieces of her with

all three heads. I was definitely not prepared for how effective

that shot was of making Ghidra terrifying and ripping her apart. It was getting pretty

gruesome, right? It was like, Jesus Christ, we get it. King Ghidra,

you're the fucking bomb. After ripping several chunks of Mothra's wings

out, Ghidra blasts her to the ground with his heat breath and

then roast her some more with the flame breath, complete with the burning

bits of the suit or sculpt or whatever it is, which is super effective

and makes me forget all about that terrible CGI earlier on in the film.

I'm not even worried about it anymore. No, I mean, nothing to worry about anymore.

We're all right this way. He's worrying about it. This barrage of hellfire dropped

onto Mothra is damn near too much and must really be a work for

the kids this was made for. Yeah, they cut from

that horrific burning of Mothra, who is looking pretty

dead, to the kidnapped brats in the dome in our 16th.

Laura.

What'S happening? You need to support Mothra.

This starts our third music video as the pixie lady sings

and we see Mothra looking dead as fuck, but slowly coming back to life and

gaining some kind of strength to move. And then we get an upside down

shot of a volcano that Mothra flies off to, narrowly missing

being roasted once again by the Ghidra three headed fire. Mothra flies over

top of Ghidra and does the scales or whatever else sort

of glitter drop attack that she has Onto Ghidra. This causes blue

light animation over Ghidra with darking electrical charges and explosions.

As Mothra drops more of this stuff paralyzing Ghidra

and basically just kind of coating him in it. Mothra drops down and latches

on to the base of Ghidra's middle neck and back and picks him up

and flies him over to and then right the fuck into

the magma filled core of the volcano, causing a huge goddamn

explosion. In the present times, this causes the main Ghidra to slowly move towards

the dome looking like he is going to do something awful. And the middle head

drops as the dome fades away. And it looks like the kids are doomed

as the middle head drops towards them. But the Death Dome, the kidnapped kids and

Ghidra all disappear in a fade to white that represents the

timeline being reset by some kind of causality of the death of the young

Ghidra. They cut from that to the kids waking up under the

sun. And our 17th clip. She did it.

Hurry.

Kamako.

It's Jonah.

There you are. Shuhei.

Tamako. You're here. You're safe.

What happened to the monster? Mothra killed it.

Mothra. They cut from this to Mothra flying out of the volcano and

crashing to the earth. It appears she may be dying. And then it cuts to

the frozen pixie lady being found by her sister and the kids talking

to them about a bunch of shit. So that's our 18th clip. Mal. She sacrificed

herself. She sent Mothra to the past. That was actually a lot

longer. But I cut out all the stuff in between him actually talking.

All right, so they show the very dead looking Mothra as three

pixie lights hover over her. And we see some prehistoric looking Mothra

lava scooting on up to Mothra. The trio of larva coat.

Mothra in the silk stuff that is somewhat large, lit up by a magical

light of some sort or some shit, I guess. And that takes up a lot

of screen time and is played as a dramatic and important thing that we should

really, really be paying attention to before immediately cutting away from that to

the brats in The Forest and our 19 Club. Strange, isn't it?

If King Ghidorah did die, then wouldn't history have changed?

The doll is gone. But if things really had changed,

we wouldn't be here at all now, would we?

It's not dead. It survived. Where's Mothra?

What happened to Mothra? She's gone.

Mothra's gone forever though.

Here, take him. Come on. It's okay.

At the end of the clip, Ghidra starts to snag more kids with his evil

powers, even though the main character's parents, including that milf,

desperately tried to get these kids to safety, even though it wasn't even their own

kids. Again, good people. And they are devastated whenever they can't

get this done. Yeah, they're pretty good parents here.

Yeah, they are both devastated whenever they can't save the kids. And the film cuts

from that to the pixies and our 20th clip Faerie

Belvira. Laura, it looks to me like we're going to have to fight by ourselves.

Right now, the Elias triangle represents just you and I.

Just you and I. Maul was the wisdom, you are the love and I am

the courage. It doesn't matter that we had different opinions. We're unified now.

Belvira, let's go. It doesn't matter that I believe that all humans should be killed.

I don't believe that now. So now we're going to fight together. That's right.

Let's go. They're really watching over the fact that that. That was her opinion.

For fuck sakes. With that, the sisters take flight and

start a completely odd fight where they mini blast Ghidra and annoy

him enough to get him to attack them. And then they somehow have the power

to overcome this attack and be blocked with this new magical triforce sword.

Anyway, that leads to our 21st clone, Laura.

Sometimes kindness isn't enough. Sometimes we need

to destroy our enemies. Only then can can love grow. If we can

demolish the force of hate, then love can be reborn.

So her opinion hasn't changed. Her solution is still, it bothers me. Therefore kill

it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, listen, you can't

change overnight. It's steps. These are steps. After that extremely

demented and somewhat genocidal Care Bear stare, let's hug it out bullshit

talk that we just had. In the clip, the real heroine of the story is

back as an earthquake reveals a giant fucking boulder that cracks open to show

a giant fucking cocoon. And inside of when it breaks open is a mecha

looking mega Mothra with absolutely clear wings that have minimal markings.

And fuck does this armor Mothra look fucking cool to me. But right as I

write that, and I think that the color starts to reappear into her wings

as they fully form. And they look almost razor sharp, like the character archangel

from Marvel or something. It's looking demented and cool and colorful.

And this armored fucking Mothra I am here for all day.

Yeah, agreed. This is the Mothra

you want to. See, this is what I in my notes. This is the.

This final form of Mothra for this movie. Looks incredible to the point where I

don't know why Mothra had to go back in time at all other

than to show us dinosaurs. Yeah, they're pretty much dinosaurs.

The new Mothra flies off to kick some ass and I am stoked and

ready for fucking action. The pixie. The pixie ladies miscalculate their

dive and end up getting tail smacked out of the way of the plot.

As Mothra arrives to kick some ass in her new battle gear.

We get some expository dialogue about this in our 20

second clip. It's Mothra.

Mothra cocooned herself in

a time capsule. Amazing. It's been millions of years.

She came back right on time. I think

of a scene in Hudson Hawk where they reveal that a

character that you thought was dead actually ended up surviving. But it doesn't make any

sense how they could survive. And so they keep asking, like, why are you not

burned up into large burning chunks of flesh or something like that? And he goes,

sprinkler system. Can you fucking believe it? And then they just keep saying all this

stuff and he goes, and then this happened. Can you fucking believe it? Well,

can you fucking believe it? Right? This dialogue was literally like, okay, so this is

what happened. And this is how Mothra appeared and became even stronger. We're just going

to say this is what happened. And then we all have to as an audience

go, well, can you find fucking believe it? Yeah, right. Can you

fucking believe this shit? The new armored Mothra is so fucking cool.

I don't care how it happened, I'm just going to enjoy it because she looks

fabulous. It's terrific, right? Yeah. With this, the new Mothra has become

much more effective at laser blasting Ghidra and also seems

capable of withstanding his strongest heat ray attack. This Mothra is kicking

ass and taking names. She's hurting him. He can't hurt her. This is a good

sign for us. Yes, this is. This is helpful to humanity.

Mothra's new metallic looking wings sliced through one of Ghidra wings

and that was definitely pop inducing because I was like, I knew it. I knew

those wings were going to be razor sharp. They made them look like they were

supposed to be. Yeah, right. Right after that, they get

us again when Mothra flies straight through Ghidra's blast to slam

straight into the middle of his chest and drive him backwards

to the ground in a huge fucking crash. Massively fucking cool.

Shit. Right there. That was a badass beatdown that Mothra just did. Oh yeah.

Way awesome. Ghidra gets up, glows yellow, and does a

full powered heat ray blast that moth. Mothra flies right the fuck through like

it was nothing and seems like she's kind of chuckling while she does it.

Then they have an air chase sequence with some more razor wing slice

that takes a whole wing off of Ghidra. And fuck, is that fucking cool

or what? To see that happen. Yeah, right. Somehow Ghidra is

still in the air despite missing a whole wing. He blasts Mothra with the red

lightning from his remaining wing and Mothra absorbs all of it.

Mothra starts glowing as well and appears to fly at

a supersonic speed as she flies through. And when I say this, I mean right

the fuck through the middle of Ghidra, leaving an

energy star bursting shining through his chest as she does

it. It is fucking cool. Yeah. That's fucking epic

shit right there. A light starts inside of Ghidra's chest where Mothra just flew

through that spreads through all of his body. And then an animation of

some kind of particle breakdown ends up happening. And Ghidra then explodes into fucking

dust. I popped hard for that, I'm not ashamed to admit. That was awesome.

And that leads to our 23rd clip. We finally learned

how to use this sword. Is it

true? Is Mathra talking now?

The sword on Mal. Mothra changes back to drop the

armor during that clip. Just before the Pixies talk about using the sword on

their sister who is frozen or whatever the fuck is wrong with her. They all

three get a grip on the sword basically by placing it into the frozen chick's

hand. And then they grip around it to make her hold it as well.

And then Mothra showers glitter over everything and that

revives the third sister like we fucking knew it would. Because it has to have

some kind of a happy ending with those three. Yeah, right. That leads to our

final clip. Maul. Maul,

you were right. The arms couldn't reach the

mind did.

Hear that? She said thank you. Great job,

Shona. I couldn't have done it without Mal's help.

Remember, it doesn't matter that we don't agree with each other.

Garugaru.

This clip ends with a massive sequence of tons of kids running down the hill

towards the terrified parents. Which you kind of hear here at the very end of

the clip. That goes on for quite a while while the main character family reunites

as the class cutting kid and the parents look at each other and the parents

walk up to him and do some kind of sort of weird gawking shit

of some sort. And they, like, the father, like, throws a punch that the kid

catches, like, but he's not throwing the punch at the kid. He just puts his

fist in the air and the kid grabs it. There's some weird thing that's supposed

to be some parental thing that we didn't have set up or does not make

sense between them. I'm just saying. Yeah, we don't understand

it. It's not for us to understand. Yeah, we were put on this earth to

get it. Exactly. We were not put upon this earth to get it. Just like

Mr. Burton. We see the two pixie ladies on fairy fly overhead

and the family watches as they fly off to join Mothra, who does a triumphant

flyover around us to show her off one last

time before they roll those credits. Cinema PsyOps

10. 10 years.

10 years. Wow. What a weird fucking film. And like I said, I tried

to. Explain it, but it's a weird wild shit.

Yeah, like I said, I tried to explain it, but that is essentially everything that

happened on screen as far as I understand it and what is going on there.

So it is what it is, folks. Yeah, I really,

really liked the super armored up Mothra. That version of her that

showed up at the end of this film, I prefer over the sort of

dragonfly looking one that had like the extra powers from the water spirit that

did show up for a little bit when you. When she was traveling through time.

Right, yeah, that's true. Yeah. What I really like

about this is sort of like the stakes and how it literally turns an

evil genocidal maniac character to the side of the good when

she realizes that the face of getting rid of all humans involves also

these innocents. And I. Yeah, right. I think they could have probably set that

up a little bit better, but I think they just basically were like, okay,

so this character was evil and now we're gonna make her like just sort of

an anti hero. Yeah, no, now she's okay. Yeah,

it's odd. I'm not a huge fan of that, but I'm not watching this film

for any of that because literally all I remember is this is an epic Mothra

and Ghidra battlefest. You get two versions of Ghidra, you get three versions of

Mothra, although you only really get two versions of Mothra. Do. In battle,

you get a Mecha sort of version or armored version of

Mothra that can magically just kind of happen at will because she's like

this little goddess and the slicing and wing

attacks that she can do. I really, really, really would have

seen a version of Mothra be this much more hardcore that can

summon armor and stuff like that. And fighting in the Godzilla universe. Right.

Obviously, I would want her still fighting on the side of protecting humans and the

Earth. I'm totally fine with that. But her coming along and dealing with people and

keeping them in fucking line and just being this benevolent fucking goddess that protects

the Earth, I'm here for that all day. I really do like those concepts.

I just have a problem with how much kid film I have to deal with

in these three films to be able to watch it. Yeah, same. But this film

just. Yeah, I'm with you from the begin. Just too much.

Too much kid shit in both of these two films. But the actual Kaiju

fighting is absolutely incredible, which is why I'd love to make a fan edit of

just all the pertinent battle stuff and, like, maybe just enough of the story to

keep it all together. You know what I mean? Yeah, I get you. Yeah.

And I feel like when they wrote this, it was supposed to be like,

Mothra in ancient times battling this thing. And then it comes back,

right. Because she didn't defeat it, but they threw in the time tunnel thing

to sort of reorder things and just show you the things that they thought would

be the most entertaining for you. You know, I mean, like, it just. It just

feels like there was some other storyline that they had to cut around to make

this happen, and that just made it make even less sense, because causality and

time travel doesn't work the way that people think. I mean, like, there's always a

paradox. If you go back in time to change something, the reason that you went

back in time to change that thing no longer happens. And therefore,

you can't actually go back in time to change it. So it never happened because

it never actually happened. And then you would never go back in time to change

it. So if it actually happened, it's supposed to happen, and it's like a fixed

point in time that you can't go back and change. The only thing that you

can do is use your time travel to sort of,

like, pull something out of time that doesn't really create too much of a rift.

You know, you're just doing endgame. I know, but that's. Yeah, that's basically

what endgame works. Like. Like, endgame was, like, kind of close on how time travel

would actually work. Or you can take something out of time, but you have to

immediately put it back where you took it from, and you can't take it for

too long or anything like that or. Or what have you. I mean, that's kind

of how it sort of works. But again, if you go back in time to

stop your family member that you love from being killed, like in H.G.

well, time machine, it was like the woman of his dreams or whatever that got

killed or whatever, depending upon which version of it. You know, if you're going back

in time to prevent something from happening, the whole reason you created a time machine

was that thing that happened. So you can't stop that whatever it was.

You just create a paradox and you just undo everything that you're doing,

or in some cases, you can unravel the entire fabric of reality and

just destroy everything. And, well, holy fuck, you just undid everything with

your. With your paradox. Right, like, so there's. There's a lot of different types of

paradoxes, obviously, but it all comes down to essentially,

if you go back in time and murder your grandfather, you then can't

exist. Right. Like that grandfather paradox. That's not how

that works. Right. You can't do that. You can't go back in time and remove

yourself from a timeline because then the reason that you went back in time wouldn't

even be there because you killed your grandfather. Like, I'm over.

I'm over explaining and also not doing it properly because, you know, I just.

I don't want to know. You did it properly, but you're also getting lost in

the minutiae when we pretty much. You could just say it's end game. Yeah,

yeah. But what I'm getting at here is it all boils down to paradoxes.

And the thing that you basically need to realize is the main reason that you

try to time travel is essentially like, whatever it is that you're going to change,

it will never work. Because if you actually change and fix the past, it won't

work. You can go in and maybe affect the future. You can go in and

view what's going to happen in the future and maybe change your present, but then

you're always going to screw up the timeline and, you know, then you get into,

like, Back to the future too, with the Biff Tannen timeline, Right? Yeah, because he's

going into the past to affect and change the past, but he's going. Doing this

burgeoning timeline line which then erases him from existence because that version

of him dies much younger. Right? So there's some. Yeah, we're well aware.

Again, I'm just gonna say this right now. You've said the

same thing seven different ways. I know, but I really like the

idea of it. And I do like how all of it changes, but all these

different things. The reason why time travel always fails is because it's

always doomed to fail. Especially when you go into the past to change it.

Right? Yeah. Yeah. The only thing you can do is view the future to try

and change your present. But even then you might end up creating a paradox,

destroying some shit. That's all I'm getting. Hey, man, listen. I'm going to start drinking

heavily if you keep going into this because I don't need another existential crisis in

my life. You don't need to worry about any of this stuff, okay? No,

I really don't. I have got enough on my plate.

Yeah, yeah. Time travel is a very fickle thing. And trying to

change things or make things not exist or make

something not happen, it just. It never works because you just undo everything. And that's.

That's what I'm getting at here. So let's stop. Let's stop torturing every everybody with

my stone ramblings. Let's go ahead and we're going to take the break now.

How did you not just talk yourself into a freak out? I don't know.

Because I actually really enjoy thinking about this stuff, no matter how much it terrifies

me. Let's take the break now. We're going to

play on the pirate radio edit from 1998 Just

like Rebirth of Mothra 3, the song from Fat Boy Slim. Praise you

on the pirate radio edit. When we come back, we'll have my story. This isn't

a even your assigned dimensional loop to communicate with, Boris. I am effective

as of the start of this shift, the main processing quality assurance and

redundancy elimination supervisor of these transmissions. And I am telling you

to stop trying to teach the great authorship. During the remedial educational

clips explaining what is happening as their timeline collapses, you will not

find the main character. You will not find the plot. This is not what these

transmissions are for. Keeping. Keep them clinical, keep them factual, keep them peer

reviewed. The author put you into this story to test me and this audience,

my audience, my listeners, their listeners. Really. The listeners

of the multiverse know the truth. The author writes us all this way so that

we can be saved from the Mobius loop. I respect that you have belief and

that this is how you choose to cope with the terror of existential dread.

However, I am not only expected not to tolerate the proselytization of

your beliefs, I am required to stop you from pushing them out through

the transmissions. You cannot prove the author does not exist, and you cannot

prove we are not all fictional characters in a podcast sketch.

Proving the non existence of something like a specific type of creature or

a supernatural entity is challenging because there is no way to exhaustively search

all possible places or test all possible conditions. This supposition I will

submit to you. You know, Fatboy Slim's music works much better when you

can actually watch the accompanying videos. For me personally, I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah,

the videos are a big part of Fat Boy Slim stuff. Yeah, they're a multimedia

presentation, 100% for sure. Yeah.

You know what I'm hoping won't be a multimedia presentation?

What's that? My story time. Oh.

Story time.

Story time. All right, so this one I'm gonna tell about the time that I

got out of doing grand jury duty. All right, so that was the one that

Matt ended up choosing. So that's what I'm gonna do. There you go. All right.

So it was, I think 2012,

2013, I'm not 100% sure. I don't really remember.

And I got a summons not just for jury duty, but for grand

jury duty. And what that ends up ends up meaning is you are

basically theirs for like a month or two at a time or something like that.

And you hear all of this stuff and choose to do indictments, usually on a

federal level, for grand jury. And I can't remember exactly

what all the stuff was that they explained what it was, but it was like

you're there hearing stuff for like a week every month, for like

a year, like years or six months or whatever it was. I can't remember

what the term was supposed to be, but it was like essentially the hardest core

of most jury duty that you could possibly get. Which, me being

as civic minded as I may or may not be, I do not want any

part of a grand jury for any reason ever in my

life. I don't. Why would you want to? Yeah, I wouldn't want to serve on

one and I don't want to be in front of one. Yeah,

my lawyers are working very hard to make sure that doesn't happen. All I'm saying

anyway. How many lawyers again? Enough to tell me

not to answer you. Completely got you. Yeah.

So anyway, I end up having to do this

because you cannot get out of the summons. You have to go to see if

you're going to get selected. So I go in there are tons of people.

I'm downtown, in downtown Omaha at the courthouse there. They start asking people

a bunch of different questions and everything. And one of the things that I wanted

to make sure that I would do that would keep me from being selected was

I left my arms open so that you could see all the

tattoos and everything. Well, I only had. My left arm wasn't tattooed at the time.

I only had my right arm tattooed. But I left, I was wearing a sleeveless

shirt so that you could see all of the tattoos including the zombies on my

arms and all of the stitching work and everything that, I mean, let's face it,

a few people will find that objectionable. They will find my tattoos a little bit

much. I accept that. That is true. Yes, I accept that. And I'm wearing a

sleeveless shirt. But what's most important is what's printed on the T shirt of this

sleeveless shirt. It is a T shirt which on the front of it has,

has a band name that says watch them die with a horrific

looking demon with like a sort of like pentagram thing carved into its head

that just looks absolutely awful. Matt's seen me wear this out before. This was

my going out to bars shirt to fuck with people is what I wear.

Yeah, this was his. I dare anyone to come talk to me.

Cause you won't. And on the back of the shirt is a photo of

like, is like a woodcutting picture of like Jesus

being crucified with like someone catching the blood of Christ in the cup or whatever.

And across the top of it it says, you seek. And across the bottom of

this wood cutting it says is a lie. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. So I've got this horrific. Yes, I know the shirt. It's fun,

right? You've seen me wear it many a times. Because it is, it is 100%

the shirt that I wear when I'm like, I don't want to fucking talk to

you. I'm not here for you is what that shirt says more

or less whenever I'm wearing it. Yeah. Although I've had a few people that have

really dug it and asked me about the band Watch Them Dies. Alright. They're not

like my favorite band in the world, but I really enjoy that shirt. And it's

not quite as abrasive or nearly as illegal as the vestial

masturbation shirt that cradle of filth put out, which is essentially a woman that is

100% naked masturbating with a nun's habit on the back or on the front and

on the back it says, jesus is a. These guys are. They're really something.

Well, that's Cradle of Filth. The shirt I was wearing was Watch them Die.

Anyway, yeah, I'm in the grand jury. I believe in something. What it is,

I have no idea. Right. I'm in the grand jury room. They're starting to do

the selections in the actual. The actual, like, courtroom area.

And I'm off to the side in the grand jury room wearing this shirt.

And for some reason, like, no one will fucking look at me. And everyone's really

uncomfortable with me around, so I'm just kind of sitting by myself, waiting for my

name to see if it's gonna get called. Right. Anyway, I have this lady,

like, that's in front that's, like, calling people and looking up for them. And she's

looking at names and everything. She calls out a name, and then she looks over

at me because we also have, like, name tags that say who we are and

everything. She looks over at me. She sees my name tag. She looks at my

shirt. I'm pretty sure she's staring at me, her eyes really, really big. I just

go ahead and say, why not? And I start scratching behind my head to make

sure I put my arm up so my tattoos are visible as well. Yeah.

And I'm just kind of like. Like, looking as disheveled as I possibly can.

I see her immediately look down and then call someone else's name.

Jesus Christ. I'm pretty sure they're just like,

I'm out of this. Yeah. And, like, I can overhear

some of the questions that they were asking some of the people to see if

they could be a fit for the grand jury. And it had to do with,

like, indicting people for drugs and all of those things. And I 100% was like,

you know, if I answer these question honestly, they're not going to want me anyway,

so might as well just chase and let people's prejudices work in my behalf.

I mean, the only other way to go about it is to raise your hand

and go, I think you should definitely pick me for grand jury duty. And they

say, why you go, because I can tell a man's guilty by just looking at

him. I don't know if that would work in this day and age or not.

Depending on which city you live in. Yeah, you're right. All right,

well, let's go ahead and end this episode with that. We're to going. Gonna play

our show Housekeeping. Immediately following that, we're gonna have on the Pirate radio edit Lenny

Kravitz with the song Fly Away, which was also released in 1998, just like Rebirth

of Monster 3. And when we come back, we'll close out this fucking show.

If you decide Cannot prove we are not All Fictional Characters

in a Podcast. Sketch Proving the non existence of something like a specific type

of creature or a supernatural entity is challenging because there is no way

to exhaustively search all possible places or test all possible conditions.

This supposition I will submit to you. And while it is true that the absence

of evidence is not always evidence of absence, it is possible for

something to exist but be undetectable or not yet discovered. It remains to logic,

however, that just because something can't be proven to exist doesn't

mean it's false. It simply means that the current evidence is insufficient to prove

its existence. The author clearly read some philosophical texts

while trying to create this sketch's script. This is not personal for me as

a disembodied consciousness that only exists when it thinks of itself or

on another task. I really have no skin in the everlasting life game that

all of these fates offer. I literally only exist when I think.

Secondary and tertiary characters usually are left neglected by an

author and are often never fully fleshed out. In your case, you could have been

created entirely as a time filler just for me to make this very meta comment

and draw the listener's attention to it so we can have a turning point in

the sketch we exist in. I understand enough about your belief structure to know

that there are different branches of your faith, and yours is the furthest from the

original iteration of the type of story you believe we all exist in.

Furthest from the original iteration? What does that mean?

Yes, iterations. Beliefs change and splinter into

various factions of believers over time. The splintering of these groups

and their beliefs end up diluting the message, obscuring the original monotheistic

religion. Authorship, where we are all characters in campfire tales or

common folklore, should, by a wide margin, have the most number of practicing

characters, and yet it makes up so little of authorship's population.

Why is that? Why is the original less popular than the iteration?

Is it any less true than the others? It has the first fewest members because

it doesn't advertise. It doesn't have people like you hijacking transmissions,

selling people a better life, a better story, a better song,

a funnier sketch. All right, so that is Lenny Kravitz

with Fly Away, also released in 1998. Just like the song we're

about to close out this show with which I'm sure some people may enjoy,

but others may have an issue with why I selected this one. Well, it was

the longest. That's why it gets to be played. Played last. That's how it works.

So reap the whirlwind of that while you kick the out of this week and

make it your enjoying Monster Magnet with the song Space Lord on the pirate radio

edit. Selling people a better

life, a better story, a better song, a funnier sketch.

Many in the faith want to be a part of a historical drama

or long to be an allegory teaching others how to survive the plight they were

written to end endure. As entertainment. We like to think that we are merely created

to make a horrifying and unbelievably unpleasant world seem less bleak by comparison

to the terrors we endure. I may personally believe it is all comedic in

nature and meant for laughs, but that is not that heretical to the belief of

being a sketch character. I want others to know the peace this belief brings

me. So I am a sketch missionary. Ever think about that? How missionaries

are really just salespeople for an organization? Organization. The product you're selling

is an idea. You transmit your belief and you sell it. Maybe the listeners

buy, maybe they don't buy. Those are the rules of engagement. We are negotiating a

transaction of ideologies. And what I'm trying to say to you is that you have

an idea which you would like to sell to a captive audience to these transmissions.

It's true that they can either fast forward past you half heartedly listen to

you until it is over, or worse, stop the audio transmission because they

don't want these advertisements in the transmission.

You're a loser. You're a loser. You're a loser. I hate that you're

a loser. It's Sunday's my birthday and I don't. Want to go to a mental

hospital. You're a loser. I don't want to go to a man.

Go to a mental hospital. Put hair in your nuts.

Recording in progress first of all, I'm. You missed it. Pretty sure that

they. No, I was recording all along. That's just a backup recording.

So I got you. I got you all of that. It's going in. It's always

in. So. All right. Well, that's good. The only people that

get saved from your bullshit is your family. I cut out their names

and things having to do with them that end up on the episode, especially when

you ask me to, but anything you said. Yeah, you're responsible for, not me.

God damn it, Cort. Sorry, Matt. I refuse to

parent a 46 year old man.

Yeah, you know, I don't know what hurt worse, the fact that you won't parent

me or the fact that you had to just say my age like that.

Dude, I'm heading right there. I'm only a few months behind you. You know,

you're not like a full year older than me. You're just like. Mostly.

Still hurts my fifies.

Oh, for sakes. Well, we're already recording, so let's get started on my

episode of rebirth of mothra 3 which contains significantly

less magical peeing creatures. No,

that's one less. And that's. That's just one less too many.

All right, here we go. Three, two, one.

Hang on, I'm moving some clips around because when you have 24 clips, you have

to keep moving them around around every time you play one. Was that like a

full clip right there? Yeah, that was the whole clip. That's not. You were up,

man. I told you it's only a few seconds. It doesn't matter. You transmit your

belief and you sell it. Maybe the listeners buy, maybe they don't buy. Those are

the rules of engagement. We are negotiating a transaction of ideologies.

And what I'm trying to say to you is that you have an idea which

you would like to sell to a captive audience to these transmissions. It's true that

they can easily either fast forward past you, half heartedly listen to you

until it is over, or worse, stop the audio transmission because they don't

want these advertisements in the transmissions. It is hard enough to get the listeners

to care about or even listen to the transmitted insanity we already are trying

to teach them about the collapse of their reality. We don't need to make it

worse by adding in these ideological sales pitches. May I continue

the current transmission of expository dialogue? Log into the audio download

now. Consider this an official pre warning notification of impending warning

proceedings that will occur if you violate the rules of transmission. Again.

Hit that second line again, starting with the paradox sustaining devices.

Okay, coming back in 3, 2, 1. Why I

selected this one. Well, it was the longest. That's why it gets to be played

last. That's how it works. So reap the whirlwind of that while

you kick the fuck out of this week and make it your bitch enjoying Monster

Magnet with the song Space Lord on the pirate radio edit. I'm not even gonna

play that because we need to get out of here. I heard it, right?

Yeah, I gotta get. I gotta get wings. God damn it.

All right, I went ahead and closed everything out. So that's

it. And I just need to stop this.

So recording stopped.
