Sofia Coppola, to be reductive, is one of the greatest nepotism babies in the history of Hollywood. The biggest thing that I appreciate about Sofia is that she has a deep understanding of her lane and what she knows best about the human experience, and she capitalizes on that and mostly only that to beautiful art. Acknowledging limitations is difficult, but Sofia makes it look easy.

Jerome and Brian take out their vengeance on all of the DC movies this decade by reviewing one of the two good ones (the other will be discussed briefly in two weeks). Is this indeed the fifth Batman worthy enough for the Pantheon? Also, why has 1995 been so influential on this character?

Can this movie overcome all odds and make it into the Pantheon? Has Jerome joined the Snyderverse?

It’s the grand finale of Creature Feature month and what better way to end than with a Godzilla movie! Jerome is not the biggest Godzilla fan and Brian could probably teach a class on it.
Many people have talked about Shin Godzilla since it came out in 2016 and is very different than the tone of the Monsterverse. The editing is fantastic and the dialogue sounds like an Aaron Sorkin movie. This is really a Godzilla movie!?

It’s time for a Creature that neither Brian or Jerome had seen. We talked about Stephen Sommers earlier in the year when discussing The Mummy, but before that he directed a lesser known monster movie that has a killer cast.
