We break down the plot, the performances, the surprisingly weird humour, the monster designs, and why Matthew Lillard might genuinely be the perfect Shaggy. Plus, in our “One Thing” segment, Ben answers the most important question ever asked on this podcast: Would you rather fight 100 human-sized Godzillas… or one normal-sized Godzilla? Expect chaos, nostalgia, bad takes, and way too much discussion about Scooby Snacks.
