Episode 44 - Godzilla: Final Wars
Episode 6
Wednesday, 31 December, 2025

It's not a sequel to Tokyo SOS! Or, for that matter, a sequel to Godzilla vs Destoroyah, so stop saying that! It's truly the end of an era as we come upon the infamous Godzilla: Final Wars, a movie that decided that whatever it was going to be, it was going to be a lot of it. Featuring the most kaiju we've seen in a movie so far, and almost as many references to modern American blockbusters, Final Wars hits the ground running and refuses to slow down long enough to think about how it's going to pull off this next part. We're joined this week by writer and journalist Ashley Schofield. You can look for her book "VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works" when it releases in 2026.Social MediaDerek on Bluesky - @derekvandyke.bsky.socialCharlotte on Bluesky - @dollblood.garden (changed since recording)Ashley on Bluesky - @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social
