2010 was the Year of Godzilla at Cinemantics, a fact you may have forgotten as we covered only one movie featuring the giant rampaging lizard the entire year. In this episode, originally scheduled to air at the end of 2010, co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I attempt to rectify the problem with a discussion of Roland Emmerich's Godzilla (1998). Despite its many flaws, we rather like this big budget B movie - and Jeff lays out the rather intriguing theory that it's actually a satire. Plus, we resurrect a certain movie game!

Independence Day
In what has become a holiday tradition, Cinemantics teams up with the Original Unoriginal Podcast to bring you a discussion of Roland Emmerich's Independence Day (1996). O.U.P. host Jeffery Heatherly and I discuss the incredible box office success of the film, defend its special effects, examine the casting, mock an alternate ending, praise composer David Arnold and espouse our love of the film in general. I also manage to shock Jeff with a surprise sign-off line. Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
