THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY! | "Godzilla" (1998) Feb 02, 2024

Show notes

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!

Hey... did you know Roland Emmerich made a Godzilla movie in America in the 1990s? It was a really expensive film with more commercial tie-ins than you can probably imagine, and even though it was a pretty big hit it was declared a pretty big flop that killed a potential franchise, and is now considered one of the worst blockbusters ever!

The time has come for Bibbs and Witney to relive, and re-litigate, GODZILLA (1998)! How bad can it be!

We've Got Mail #165 | The Lost Episode Jan 26, 2024

Show notes

We recorded this episode of WE'VE GOT MAIL a couple weeks ago, just before Witney left town and Bibbs got super sick for a while, so it's a little out of date when we talk about what's going on with BARBIE and stuff, and we weren't sure when was a good time to post it. So we're doing it now!
