Episode 184 - Godzilla (1998) - Geek Commentary

We can only imagine how this movie was pitched to the studio, "...think Jurassic Park meets The Muppets Take Manhattan...."  Today we really put the Rants on Geekfest Rants.  Join us as we take a different approach to our film commentaries as Carlos and the two Mikes(specially Mike Sutton) rip apart 1998's (whatever the opposite of classic is) Godzilla.  This movie has everything you want on a film.  From more product placements than good reviews to the dramatic emotional tones of Saved By The Bell.
