The Terror of ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ and Sean’s Favorite Godzilla Movies. Plus: The Joy of ‘Club Kid,’ With Jordan Firstman!

Sean and Amanda open today’s show by reacting to the stunning news that James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as heads of DC Studios and hypothesizing about who could take over. Then, they cover ‘Godzilla Minus Zero,’ speculate what its significant box office performance suggests about American audiences, and celebrate its phenomenal visual effects and set pieces before Sean shares his top five Godzilla movies of all time. Next, they discuss three recent releases: a movie they loved in ‘Club Kid,’ a movie they found pretty average in ‘The Cat and the Hat,’ and a movie they found incredibly complicated in ‘Misty Green.’ Finally, Sean is joined by Jordan Firstman to emphasize the importance of telling this deeply personal queer story, explain why he wanted ‘Club Kid’ to feel like anything but a debut feature film, and discuss why it was never an option to not shoot the movie on film.
