In this episode, we discuss Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Rebel Moon and Godzilla Minus One. Directed by James Wan, known for horror films and the previous Aquaman instalment, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom serves as the final film in the DC Extended Universe before a new DC universe begins. Rebel Moon is Zach Snyder's attempt at creating a Star Wars-like universe with his unique aesthetic. Godzilla Minus One is one of the best Godzilla movies with an emphasis on the impact of the king of monsters on post-World War 2 Japan.
