Join us as we venture to Hallow Earth in this deep drive of Adam Wingard’s 2024 feature film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. How will this latest addition to the Monsterverse stack up to previous entries? How will this supposed Godzilla movie stack up to other recent Godzilla offerings? Is there merit in trying to recreate the feeling of an 80’s toy aisle? All these questions answered, somewhat, right here on Zero Credit(s).

In 2017, a studio had a vision of continuing a franchise they had started in 2014 with CGI monsters the size of buildings doing monster stuff while some people ran around and yelled about there being monsters. But with Godzilla set in the current day, how could they reveal that monsters exist for a second time? The answer: set it in the past and make it a secret that monsters exist while doing the whole monsters exist plot again. Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson, John Goodman, John C Reilly, Toby Kebbell, Marc Evan Jackson, and more are all here to be separated in the first few minutes of arriving on Skull Island so that we have different parties with different goals to follow and the tensions are high. Is this very much influenced by Vietnam War movies flick a treat for the senses, or is it whatever the opposite of that would be? It’s time we ended something, once and for all – the movie isn’t too quotable so this paraphrase will have to do – right now, on Zero Credit(s).
