    Bibbs got his computer back from the shop, just in time for the first weekend in December, which is always one of the slowest weekends of the year!

    But! This year we've got a pretty eclectic group of films, including the much ballyhooed GODZILLA MINUS ONE, the Eddie Murphy Christmas comedy CANDY CANE LANE, John Woo's silent action thriller SILENT NIGHT, and the new thriller starring Thomasin Mackenzie and Anne Hathaway, EILEEN!

    Godzilla Minus One - 4:35
    Candy Cane Lane - 31:33
    Silent Night - 49:45
    Eileen - 107:21
    Review Round-Up - 1:15:34

    THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY! | "Godzilla 1985" (1985)

    William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!

    This week, there's only one thing Godzilla loves more than smashing stuff, and it's a delicious Dr. Pepper! Godzilla returns once again in GODZILLA 1985, the American version of GODZILLA RETURNS with more comic relief, more product placement, and more Raymond Burr!

    THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY! | "The Return of Godzilla" (1984)

    THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY! | "The Return of Godzilla" (1984)

    William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!

    Godzilla took most of a decade off and almost fought the devil, but instead he's back in a reboot that ignores every movie in the series except the original! That's right, David Gordon Green didn't invent that! Godzilla returns in THE RETURN OF GODZILLA!

    THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY! | "Half Human" (1955)

    THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY! | "Half Human" (1955)

    William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!

    And we do mean every movie, because this week we're playing catch-up with another Ishiro Honda-directed monster movie, which would cross over into the GODZILLA franchise in a single panel of a single comic book as a throwaway Easter Egg! 

    It's the killer yeti movie HALF HUMAN!

Excellent resource for film criticism and recommendations

Easily two of the most insightful film critics out there even though Witney is deeply wrong about Nimona.
