William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!
Hey... did you know Roland Emmerich made a Godzilla movie in America in the 1990s? It was a really expensive film with more commercial tie-ins than you can probably imagine, and even though it was a pretty big hit it was declared a pretty big flop that killed a potential franchise, and is now considered one of the worst blockbusters ever!
The time has come for Bibbs and Witney to relive, and re-litigate, GODZILLA (1998)! How bad can it be!
