In this episode, we compare two vastly different takes on the Godzilla legacy. Godzilla (1998), Hollywood’s first stab at the franchise, reimagines the monster as a giant mutated iguana wreaking havoc in New York—controversial among fans but undeniably a product of its blockbuster era. In contrast, Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003) brings the focus back to tradition, with classic kaiju action as Godzilla battles Mothra and Mechagodzilla in a direct sequel to Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. One is a radical departure; the other is a love letter to the Showa spirit. We break down how each film shaped the evolving myth of the King of the Monsters.
