Episode Thirty-Eight: Mechagodzilla vs. Whatever

Pop Cultural Osmosis

So, what was the first thing you ever pirated?

This week, we talk about ABC’s new Marvel franchise Agents of Shield. We also talk about AMC, The Walking Dead, and the general state of cable television.

And as our introduction to our new film series (foreign films and their American remakes) we watch the 1954 classic Gojira and its terrible 1998 remake Godzilla.

Spoiler notes: we had seen four episodes of Agents of Shield when we recorded, though we don’t get too deep into any spoiler-y plot details.

Show Notes:

• “The State of AMC”, Grantland
• Linkin’ Park’s “My December” on YouTube
• Marvel’s Agents of Shield on Hulu
• Gojira on Hulu (Criterion Collection Edition)
