This week on End Credits we hail the king! Godzilla is back in the theatres and so are we with the latest entry in the franchise now on screens everywhere! We’re reviewing Godzilla Minus Zero on this edition of the show, and we’re also going to go deep into the Godzilla back catalogue to talk about some of the greatest hits from the King of the Monsters.
This Wednesday, November 11, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
Godzilla’s Greatest. Godzilla first appeared on movie screens in 1954. Created by Japan’s Toho Co., the creature was emblematic of the country’s post-war anxieties, and being the victims of the world’s first two nuclear bombings, but in the decades since he’s also become a national icon and the main ambassador for the Japanese film industry. Before getting into the 39th Godzilla movie, we’ll talk about some of our favourites from the series.
REVIEW: Godzilla Minus Zero (2026). In 2023, Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus One rejuvenated the 70-year-old franchise with new depth and gravitas by focusing on the thing Godzilla movies have always struggled the hardest with: the humans. In his direct sequel, Godzilla Minus Zero, Yamazaki doubles down as the human survivors from Minus One are faced with a new kaiju threat (a familiar face from the Godzilla rogue’s gallery) and the growing political tension as Godzilla himself returns. But can Minus Zero live up to the hype?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
