On Today's Lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, @RaymondGeeksOut joins me as we go over Superman/Aliens II: God War! @Dixonverse brings the Xenomorph's to the world of the New Gods! How does it hold up? Does it stick the landing? Tune in to find out!
Superman faces the eternal ferocity of Aliens again in this explosive four-part series! Darkseid is bad enough, with his forces of Parademons and loyal henchmen on Apokolips, but, when a ship carrying the Alien brood crashes into his domain, will he finally find the key to creating a relentless, indestructible army? On a visit to New Genesis, Superman is welcomed by the New Gods, including Orion and Highfather. A warning predicts that a horror will soon visit New Genesis. Will even the might of the Man of Steel, combined with scores of super-powered beings, be enough to stop Darkseid's new hordes?

Coming up next on the Showa retrospective...Godzilla vs the Sea Monster?
But wait, this movie doesn't feel right...because it wasn't supposed to be a Godzilla movie! This was supposed to star Kong, but for whatever reason the Big G ended up being slotted in instead, and it's a square peg in a round hole! The fight is unimpressive, the monster not really memorable, and the human plot is almost incomprehensible! This one starts off the beginning of the Truly Low Tier movies for us; while it isn't the absolute bottom, this one is definitely pretty bad!

Talk about a cursed review! FIRST Ingrid & I recorded it once and my phone glitched out, loosing it. THEN my hard drive glitched and deleted my videos and ONLY this was was NOT recoverable!
And the most ironic thing is...this movie...WAS ONE OF THE BEST KAIJU MOVIES INGRID & I HAVE SEEN! This is RIGHT up there with the upper Echelon of the Godzilla and Gamera movies we've seen! We went from one of the WORST to one of the BEST!
In this movie KING GHIDORAH appears and this is hands down our second most favorite Ghidorah! Second only to the Monsterverse version...which ironically enough we both think they took a LOT from this one! This Ghidorah is one of the few that acts independently, no mind control! He is INSIDIOUS! His plan is to abduct all the children then EAT them! He can regenerate at an incredible rate! Etc etc!
But Mothra Leo is no slouch either! He arrives far earlier than usual, puts up a great fight, is willing to make a sacrifice to do a one way trip back in time to destroy Ghidorah when he's young, but nearly died doing it. Then he gets some help from past Mothra's then he is restored in the present day as Eternal Mothra and takes down Ghidorah once and for all!
OH and these were some of the best kids in a Kaiju movie! Not just the main kids but ALL of them! The main kids had purpose, were not annoying and handled well, and the secondary kids all came off not only believable but SMART! When they were captured, one kid threw their ball at the wall of their cell and it melted! Who knows how many people that saved!
PLUS the COSMOS get their best outing as we find out the three sisters actually have reasons behind their actions and attitudes. The two "Heroic" sisters represent Courage and Love! Two very definitively good traits! Belvera represents Wisdom (We mistakenly stated she had courage...we were going off of memory here guys!) which can apply both ways. Plus Ghidorah is so dangerous Belvera needs to team up with her sisters!
Overall this is an INCREDIBLE way to end out the trilogy and is a high note for Mothra!

Closing out the Heisei era in our Godzilla retrospective is the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the capstone of the era and the best way it could end! Tying up the threads and making some powerful callbacks to the original King of the Monsters (as well as making US cry), we have Godzilla vs Destroyah!
As it turns out, using Dr. Shirazawa's Oxygen Destroyer in order to kill the OG Godzilla wasn't without consequences later down the line. It caused the area around the site to mutate some lifeforms like those of the ancient world that didn't need it to survive, and threatens to revert the world to a place hostile to the lifeforms of the current era, and they're mutating out of control. The key to stopping it? On the human side, resuming the research he wanted halted, and in particular persuading his widow Emiko to help out. Meanwhile, our girl Miki's psychic powers are fading, and Godzilla is strained to his very limit, threatening to melt down as Destroyah mutates, spreads and combines...and even seems to kill Junior! It's a delicate balancing act as Godzilla takes down the monster while the humans try to mitigate the damage from his meltdown...in the end, the big G dies in a scene that makes us tear up, and the resultant energy revives Junior, opening a new era for cooperation between humans and monsters, and letting our gal Miki finally retire in peace!
WOW...just WOW! There was no better way to end this particular era, and it's the best ending of any of the eras we've seen. It's hard to find any fault with this. Everyone was here on all cylinders, and the writing and action were all top notch. If you watch just one era of Godzilla, the Heisei is undoubtedly our pick!

It's that time of year where Alex & I meet up to hang out. And this year we've got a few At the Movie reviews in the can! Starting with the Last Starfighter!
This movie was one of the earliest to use CGI on such a grand scale and...it surprisingly holds up 90% of the time (The effects popping not withstanding) and is highly recommended to watch for some good dumb fun! The script is weak but the actors carry it and make up for it!
After finally achieving the high score on Starfighter, his favorite arcade game, everyday teenager Alex Rogan meets the game's designer, Centauri -- who reveals that he created Starfighter as a training ground for developing and recruiting actual pilots to help fight a war in space. Whisked away from the banality of his trailer park life to a distant alien planet, Alex struggles to use his video game-playing skills to pilot a real ship, with real lives at stake.

On Today's Lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, @nerdygirlcreates655 joins me as we go over the next two Venom Mini series! See Venom meet the Punisher in Funeral Pyre, & see Venom vs the Juggernaut (Bitch) in The Madness! Both are...interesting tales
In Funeral Pyre, A journalist has embedded himself with a gang. To keep his cover, he's forced to stay with them while they hunt down and kill a man chosen at random. But the reporter sends the guy's nephew to get word to the police. Instead, the kid goes to Venom, meanwhile The Punisher is in town and gets in Venom's way! Can Venom save the Journalist?
In The Madness, We all know Venom is a bit insane but in this story, he is LITERALLY going insane…with his personality split in two! A trippy tale told by Daredevil master scribe Ann Nocenti! Throw in the Juggernaut in for good measure!
