Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) with Lauren Goodnight

It's the wildly divisive 50th anniversary movie and Millennium era finale no one expected! Lauren Goodnight returns for a postmodern monster mash and the baby of cult action horror director Ryuhei Kitamura, where a cavalcade of sleek Showa kaiju get taken out by MMA fighter Godzilla while superpowered mutants battle black leather duster-clad aliens in Matrix-inspired fights. Oh, and Don Frye has a sword and gets really sweaty, veteran Toho actors in their 70s are in gunfights, and a British prog rock keyboardist does the score. We talk about the return of the Xiliens, practicality in the suit design, quadrupedal Ghidorah, and how something so stupid can still be hella fun.
