Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris return to the start of the Monsterverse to discuss Godzilla for its 10th anniversary.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, Godzilla kicked off the Monsterverse as a pair of giant kaiju called MUTOs emerge and wreak havoc across the globe. Their appearance also draws the attention of Godzilla, who hunts the MUTOs down as they challenge his role as the alpha predator of the Earth.  Aaron Taylor-Johnson is Ford Brody, a Navy EOD soldier who is trying to get home to San Fransisco but keeps getting caught in the battle between the giant monsters.  Zach and Chris talk about the lifecycle of MUTOs, the dramatically more serious tone compared to the current Monsterverse entries, the early death of Bryan Cranston, the awesome sense of size and scale, and more.  You can watch Godzilla on Max.
