The tech billionaire is actually called Mechagodzilla. It's a common misconception that the monster is called Mechagodzilla, but it's in fact the name of its creator.

It's explained in the movie, albeit poorly, that Ghidora's three heads had a psychic connection with one another. They tekked the tek and put it in the skull to make a remote connection to the brain and then put a VR connection in the skull. Ghidora being alive (technically) is why Godzilla is losing his shit and attacking everything. It's explained terribly, but it's all there.

I really like how they made the story and monsters more mythic and fantastical. It definitely felt like an ancient myth, with the "titans," the underworld full of monsters, and King Kong's throne and magical axe. I think that's the best way to do this kind of movie, rather than trying to make it seem scientific or realistic, when it never really can be.

Mike trying to recreate "the Firestein event" is honestly the funniest thing I've seen - including any comedy movies/shows - in the last few years. I can imagine him on set as the director, trying to explain to an actor how to do it and just failing over and over, with Jay as the DP cracking up in the background.

Kong popping his shoulder back: When I saw it, I instantly thought that’s like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 2. Then in the credits, under “featuring properties licensed from...” Among the previous Godzilla and Kong films, there was Lethal Weapon 2. So I wondered if the shoulder pop was so iconic, lawyers said they have to license it. Random shot, I messaged the director on Instagram, and surprisingly, he replied. Turns out, it is a homage but the license is for other, more direct references to LW2 in the film that were cut.

IT did illustrate exactly what Mike and Jay was talking about when they said the monster movie had a lot of extra bass in the sound design. I was genuinely impressed with it when they cut the CK and monster movie together, as otherwise I'd probably never even notice the sound design in this youtube vid. As such, I don't doubt that because of the sound thing, Mike and Jay are right that this was probably better in a theater. Also, like someone said in a comment waaaay above us, they should have inserted Zaat smashing up the pharmacy as well.

Incredibly nerdy comment which I am sure Mika and Jay will never read: Apparently, after doing a little digging, it turns out Godzilla did not kill the other titans after the end of Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Rather, in a comic called Godzilla: Dominion he apparently commands them all to go back into hibernation, because he sensed Ghidorah's presence and was worried that they would fall back under Ghidorah's control. (Presumably this presence was actually Mechagodzilla.) He did kill one of them who tried to challenge him (the big octopus one, I think? Syclla?) presumably because they still needed a giant monster fight in their comic. But the rest are still alive, just hibernating, so they can still have Rodan in another film if they want. (Godzilla wants to fight Kong in this film because Kong, unlike the other Titans, won't submit to him. Rodan is listed as "defeated" in the movie because he submitted to Godzilla.) Here ends the the nerdy pedantry. Thanks for all your hard work, really enjoy the show.
