Ho ho ho bag everyone! As promised we now present to you our commentary track for the 1998 remake Godzilla. Evidently you guys love crushing my childhood memories, so give it a listen to hear our take on the movie. Also be prepared for us to get off topic OFTEN. I’m guessing 40%of this commentary is us talking about the actual movie, while the other 60% is us talking about movies you should be watching instead of this one.

Also it wasn’t until after recording this track that I found out that this commentary might be a little tricky to sync up to the movie. We counted down from 3 and told you to hit play for the movie, but we we’re using a copy I bought off iTunes. I’m not sure if DVD copies put warnings and advertisements after you hit play from the DVD menu. Just know that after we say “one” the Tristar logo slowly fades up from black.
Also be warned that since this was not really an episode, we’re really causal in this track. That means you’ll hear us swear a bit more than in regular episodes. Not that I think any of you really care if we use profane language, but just thought I warn anyway.
I really should have announced this earlier (I had finals, I think that excuse is valid) but I did not video record ourselves giving the commentary. This was done for 2 reasons.
1) The more I was planning this the more I realized that you really can’t make footage of two people watching a movie interesting. Also the rig we had set up to do this really wasn’t cinematically stunning. It was basically us in two chairs watching the movie on my laptop.
2) Me cutting together the footage would have delayed the commentary track for about 2 months (I’m lazy. I’ll admit it.) As I was trying to figure out how to make the footage more interesting, I considered adding more camera angles, music, ect. All of this would just delay the thing you guys really wanted which was the commentary track.
Oh and the website now has over 1,000 comments! And to think only 854 of them are J.
