To briefly touch on the last film showed, Duck Soup, I absolutely loved it. The amount of creativity and unrestricted thinking it takes to come up with some of their gags is astounding. I'm only two films deep into the Marx Brothers, but I understand how the Groucho Marx look became ICONIC.
Now about today's show. I've never seen a single Godzilla movie. The closest I've come is Austin Powers ("It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws, it's not."). I honestly don't know how I've come this far without catching one, but I so ready. There were a ton of interesting trivia to choose from, I'd recommend checking them out!
