Godzilla: King of the Monsters could have easily been just another summer blockbuster tentpole film with giant monsters destroying cities. But in reality, there is a lot more nuance to it that. It’s got some grounded depth to it thanks in no small part to the human cast who play a critical role in the highly anticipated sequel.

Geeks of Doom had a chance to join their fellow journalists at the press conference for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, where Millie Bobby Brown, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Thomas Middleditch, Kyle Chandler, Bradley Whitford, and Ken Watanabe talked about what it was like to be a part of a film whose title character has such a longstanding legacy, shooting with something that wasn’t there, and more. Check out what they had to say below.

No matter how many times Godzilla is rebooted, the Kaiju is revered as one of the most iconic cinematic characters in history. And despite his lack of presence in the 2014 westernized telling, his fame remained as powerful as ever. Mostly because Godzilla is much more than a giant reptile destroying cities with his giant footsteps and atomic flames, but he serves as a reminder of the dangers of what could happen should human arrogance transcend nature. It’s a theme that continues to echo in each new telling, no matter the generation.

Now those themes come into the picture once more in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, in which man’s arrogance and inability to comprehend what they are unleashing is a reflection of the times that we live in today. And yet, even with those dark and very human themes, the sequel still remembers that it is a giant monster movie that sees Godzilla clash with rivals and nemeses like Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. Check out my full review below.

If you’ve been keeping up with the marketing for Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, then you know how hilariously meta it has been. With a little bit of help from Ryan Reynolds using some of his infectious personality and sharp sense of humor, the upcoming film looks like it will live up to expectations and hopefully break the cycle of video game film adaptations being bad.

But the actor has found a leak of the full film that was posted on YouTube late last night. While he made sure to bring it to Warner Brothers’ attention, it looks like the studio has taken no action whatsoever. Of course, there may be a clever reason for that. Check out the video below.

Ryan Reynolds, who voices Pikachu in the upcoming Pokémon movie Detective Pikachu, has shared a new trailer of sorts he’s dubbed “What a Pikachu World.”

The new trailer shares some peeks at the movie, sometimes a getting a bit emotional, set to Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” In addition to the trailer, a new behind the scenes featurette has also found its way online.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the final trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters ahead of its release next month.
