GODZILLA VS KONG MOVIE REVIEW
The battle of the major-domo monsters is finally here, as Legendary Entertainment’s Monsterverse comes to a head with Godzilla, previously in their “Godzilla” and “Godzilla: King of the Monsters”, battling it out with a now-bigger and older King Kong, previously seen in their “Kong: Skull Island”. Who will win? Will we care about any of the humans running around, some from previous films but mainly not so much? I’ll say this for now: thank goodness they brought some wackadoodle super-science into this. Chris, Mark, and Marco review this and they bring in our resident all-things-giant-monster expert Matt Frank to round out the team (check out his podcast series on One of Us, Giganticast) and the results…well, they may surprise you.
**This is also available in a considerably longer, uncut, spoiler video review version for TIME LORD subscribers and above right here**

YOUR REVIEWERS
Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)
Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

Marco Noyola (Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Audio Editor)
By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
“You don’t need to follow me. You don’t need to follow anybody!”
Mark Prince (Screener Squad)
Mark Prince is a lifelong nerd so old he remembers the first edition of Dungeons and Dragons, the original Star Wars in the theater, and comics that cost a quarter and could be found on racks in the local apothecary. By day, a mere human services worker, by night he emerges to combat boredom, master the vagaries of the B grade television serial, the C grade cinematic release, and to ever assist his fellow man, as well as to master, once and for all, the Shoryuken Dragon Punch with ever stiffening thumbs.
