Monster and Villain Mashups in TV and Movies, Matrix Turns 25, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire burning up movie theaters worldwide, we decided to take a look at monster mashups, why we love them, and then go about plotting our own take on films or TV monsters or villains that could make for an exciting versus or team-up movie all on their own. Thanos versus The Emperor? Shelob vs. Blue? How about E.T versus Cooper from Super 8?

That’s not all though! We also have a debate on when a franchise like Ghostbusters or Terminator should finally end, The Matrix turns 25, our review of Godzilla x Kong, and a whole lot more!
