Episode 38: Godzilla Minus One / Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire

What does a good modern blockbuster look like? Is it more like Takashi Yamazaki’s GODZILLA MINUS ONE or Zack Snyder’s REBEL MOON: PART ONE - A CHILD OF FIRE? The Brothers examine the state of modern, large-scale genre filmmaking in a roundtable discussion of GODZILLA MINUS ONE, the surprisingly successful new entry in the long-running kaiju series from Toho Studios. They discuss the film’s dramatic approach, action sequences, and homages to the work of Steven Spielberg and Studio Ghibli before they turn their attention to Snyder’s REBEL MOON: PART ONE, the divisive director’s attempt to create a space opera franchise on Netflix.
