Recovered
Welcome to Recovered, where Dan and Keith dig into all films remade, rebooted, and redone. They say there are no new stories under the sun, and Hollywood's been taking that as an excuse to tell the same stories over and over since the silent era, so we dig into which movies warranted a remake, which remakes improved on the original, and how very often neither of those things are true.

Episode 70: Godzillas Vs Kongs
The Kaiju Saga reaches its conclusion in the cinematic smackdowns of Godzilla Vs. Kong, the Scaly Boi vs. the Big Monke. But it's not cinema made it to the Monsterverse before someone thought "Maybe these two could fight," so we start back in the Showa Era with King Kong Vs Godzilla from 1962 (or '63 depending on country), in which Big Pharma orchestrates a fight between monsters for reasons that almost make sense. That done, back to the 2020s as Hollywood emerges from Plague Times with Godzilla Vs. Kong, then has the lizard and the monkey team up for the mismatched buddy cop throwdown Godzilla X Kong: New Empire. Who had the best human subplots? Or the most human subplots? Where were the best fights? Dan and Keith break it all down. Join us!
