Episode 51 - "Hell yeah, man! Go, Godzilla!" [King of the Monsters, Dark Phoenix]

Is the box office in a bit of a slump? In this episode, we look at some recent underperformers: the latest in the GODZILLA franchise, the new X-MEN film DARK PHOENIX, and the coming-of-age indie from Olivia Wilde, BOOKSMART. Then we shift over to the small screen for an overview of the Amazon Prime release GOOD OMENS, and the highly-rated HBO miniseries CHERNOBYL.
