We Call It Godzilla returns with a look at the Toho kaiju films' first foray into an alien invaders story, complete with a giant robot that will later turn up in the nineties Godzilla films! There's no way they could muck up the politics here, right? cpbwrites.blogspot.com/2025/03/huma...

One of my best and most personal essays yet, in which I pay tribute to one of my favorite kaiju and call for the recovery of a piece of lost media! cpbwrites.blogspot.com/2025/03/coun...

I watched the obscure Godzilla-adjacent film *Half Human* so you don't have to! Also, $5 patrons have early access to my essay on Rodan (1956) - it's a doozy! cpbwrites.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-... cpbwrites.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Transgender issues aren’t “a distraction.” They are the main event for the GOP. They hate us enough to hurt everyone.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

Check out my coverage of the recently translated novellas of the first two Godzilla films by their original story writer. Uncover a vital missing piece of Godzilla history! And as always, Patreon subscribers get early access to upcoming essays. 🙂 cpbwrites.blogspot.com/2025/01/othe...

My Patreon is live, and with it early access to my essay on Godzilla Raids Again! Any support is greatly appreciated. :) www.patreon.com/c/Christophe...

Yes, resist. Organize. Take collective and community action. All of these things. But first and foremost, survive. And begrudge no vulnerable person the actions they need to take to accomplish the same. There is no moral shame in the selfishness of surviving.

Maybe we were too hard on JJ Abrams for "Somehow Palpatine returned."

My mammoth essay on the original Godzilla film is up now. Happy 70th, Big G. cpbwrites.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-...

My essay on the original Godzilla film will be up tomorrow in time for its 70th anniversary.

Pleased to announce the soft launch of We Call It Godzilla, a blog charting the history of the King of the Monsters and how the film evolved to become a pop culture mainstay. Before Godzilla, an essay sequence looking at early giant monster movies, is up now. cpbwrites.blogspot.com
