Since 2014’s American Godzilla reboot, Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros and Toho have been slowly building up their combined “Monsterverse,” set to end in a climatic rematch between Godzilla and King Kong. It would be the rematch of the century, coming 59 years after they first crossed paths in 1962’s King Kong vs Godzilla. In a world where mega-franchises and CGI spectacle is king, how could a crossover this big fail? Despite the warm critical and box office reception of Godzilla and 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters was a huge flop with critics and audiences, leaving the future of the franchise in question.

Does this epic crossover, Godzilla vs Kong, step up its game to deliver the type of crowd-pleasing spectacle audiences have been clamoring for throughout the pandemic, or have the goliaths fallen out of favor with fans due to uninteresting human characters? The Cinematropolis co-founders Jacob and Zachary Burns rejoin host Caleb Masters to get the answers by reviewing HBO Max’s latest day of theatrical release.

This episode isn’t just about giant apes fighting nuclear charged lizards, it’s also a showdown between the Calebs, Caleb Haldane vs Caleb Masters. For the first time since their Star Wars: The Last Jedi throw down, The Red Six Podcast‘s Caleb Haldane returns to The Cinematic Schematic to drop a wealth Godzilla knowledge in an attempt to unseat host Caleb Masters. Who will win? The only way to find out is by tuning in until the very end.

According to IMDB, Godzilla vs Kong can be described as:

The epic next chapter in the cinematic Monsterverse pits two of the greatest icons in motion picture history against one another – the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong – with humanity caught in the balance.
