Oh hi,

This week on FilmSack we point off into the distance and scream … “eeeeek … a giant radioactive mama monster from Nevada is headed this way with a baby sack of doom!” Oh my GOD! … ZILLA … who will save us from the irony of our own destructive nature in the pursuit of power and control while we avoid raising our kids! Oh look… it’s HBO Max Max now streaming the solution to our SciFi related Action Creature Horror Show conundrum. Oh… the answer is family… you sure it’s not bigger nuke? cause we got one of those.

Anywho, And now in this Corner…. Hailing from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, a scaley prehistoric beast with a god complex, atomic breath and loneliness in his eyes. Sporting a roar so terrifying, yet so bad ass, that it could be it’s own hook in a rap song. He’s 90 thousand tons of fun. It’s Godzooky’s Uncle

and his opponents tonight are… the MUTO’s… a couple of nice monsters trying to start a nuclear family and not a fight.

and Oh my god! It looks like the humans have just entered the ring screeching like a bunch of howler monkey’s throwing their technologically advanced feces… and down go the humans….back to the stone age.

Randy, look. Dinosaurs.
