Kulture Meltdown: Godzilla Minus Zero (2026)

Two years after Godzilla Minus One, Japan's war still isn't over. Takashi Yamazaki's sequel returns to 1949, where Ryunosuke Kamiki's Koichi Shikishima and Minami Hamabe's Noriko are raising a daughter in a country still clearing its rubble, until King Ghidorah tears through Matsumoto City. With the Cold War powers circling the Pacific and an American military pursuing its own ends, the only answer to a three-headed dragon may be the monster that nearly destroyed Tokyo. Yamazaki again writes, directs and supervises the effects, and the result is the biggest, bloodiest swing of his Godzilla run.

Movie Meltdown's Bryan Renfro and The Projection Booth's Mike White join Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Takashi Yamazaki, King Ghidorah, the MonsterVerse, and so much more.
