Robert DiLauro and Di Marie are back in the eighth installment of Pop Jedi!

This week, they discuss the recent Star Wars: The Bad Batch trailer, casting for Batman: The Long Halloween, The Suicide Squad movie and its recent trailer and characters, the love and hate that Justice League director Zack Snyder gets, and more. They also share their thoughts on Godzilla vs Kong.

About Pop Jedi: Robert DiLauro, a horror genre veteran who's been battling it out online and in print for more than a decade, is branching out to share his love of all things outside of that specific genre and he's doing so through "Pop Jedi". The team discusses all things pop-culture including comics, film, horror, sci-fi, fantasy... you get the idea. A lot of the same topics that have brought you here to CBM, and can be found exclusively on CBM's official YouTube channel (YouTube.com/ComicBookMovie).

@dracula - I would rather us get Space Godzilla next and have them use Gigan as the villain for Kong 2 and set it in the Hollow Earth. Then have Destoroyah be the final film and have Godzilla, Kong, Gigan and whichever titan is left battle Destoroyah for the fate of the Earth.

@SonOfAGif - For Kong movies, id say monsters like Anguirus and Megalon would be better fits. Kong was getting his ass kicked for most of Kong VS Godzilla

@dracula - He definitely was but that's because he faced The King of Monsters. Gigan isn't such a threat for him I don't think. Plus Megalon's hands are practically drill bits. I think Kong would fair better against bone hooks lol.

@SonOfAGif - i guess although for kong, id say its best to go earth based monsters not alien, plus megalon does come from beneath the ground.

Characters like Anguirus, Varan and Baragon would be great picks for Kong to fight

@dracula - I would love for Destroyah to be the big bad! Have him be an overwhelming force taking on multiple Titans with kong and Zilla at the lead. Also I want him to sound something like this
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 4/6/2021, 6:02 PM
@dracula - Well if we go with Earth based titans we could definitely see Anguiras. I wouldn't mind Ebirah either.
dracula
dracula - 4/6/2021, 6:07 PM
@SonOfAGif - Could rewrite history with Ebirah, originally that movie was suppose ot be a King Kong movie but Toho lost the rights before production could start and replaced him with godzilla
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 4/6/2021, 7:52 PM
@dracula - They could definitely work Ebirah into the Hallow Earth.

I still haven't gotten around to watching GVK but plan to some weekend.

Off topic: Sounds a little closer to the spirit of the original games, but we'll see. https://movieweb.com/resident-evil-welcome-to-raccoon-city-synopsis/

@Feralwookiee - That sounds nothing like the original games if we are being honest. If we are looking at the Spirit of the original games then the Paul W.S Anderson films as trash as they were sounded more like the games than that synopsis.

I’ve seen gvk in theaters twice and just got hbo max...I may have a problem...

However one thing that I really really wish they would’ve done instead of having

SPOILERS****

mechagodzilla be made by humans I wish he would've been created by “someone or something” within the the hollow earth to defeat the Titans when awakened. Could’ve led to aliens or Titans from other worlds. Very minor complaint but could’ve explained mechagodzilla in our world better than an evil corporation.
