The name's Zilla. BondZilla. A Podcast dedicated to discussing the films of the world's two longest running film franchises: James Bond and Godzilla!
How can you make another Planet of the Apes movie after you, well, blow up the planet? You send two very likable Apes back in time to 1970s Los Angeles to help explore the rise of ape society, philosophize about time travel, religion, and fate, and to help us catch up with Ricardo Montalbon. There's no time to waste! We need to "Escape from the Planet of the Apes!"
Another Christmas Eve, another adventure for John McClaine. This time, he's stuck in an airport with more bad guys, more explosions, and more ace reporters trying to get the scoop. How can the same thing happen to the same guy twice? It's time to Die Harder with a closer look at "Die Hard 2!"
The second film in the Planet of the Apes series picks up right where the original classic left off, giving us a man who looks almost exactly like Charlton Heston, an underground society of mutant psychics who worship a gigantic nuke, a well performed Gorilla general... and possibly a good movie? It's time to find out what lies "Beneath the Planet of the Apes!"
Imagine this: Die Hard in a Podcast! Well, we're not gonna go that far, but the Bondzilla Boyz head to Nakatomi Plaza to see the film world be fully introduced to Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, and a brand new action franchise in the making. Yippee-Kai-Yay, It's time to "Die Hard!"
Bondzilla returns to the world of Apes, but this time it's a world where apes truly rule over man, a world featuring some of the most memorable lines of all time, astounding make-up, and an insanely iconic ending to boot. It's a Madhouse when Bondzilla breaks down the original "Planet of the Apes."
The core Pirates of the Caribbean team trade the open sea for the American West as an iconic character is brought to new life with big franchise hopes in mind. We discuss the good, the bad, the complicated, and the unexpected legacy of "The Lone Ranger."

The most recent entry of the Pirates franchise has lots to talk about! Like Ghosts, and Horology, and the return of old faces, and... weird, unnecessary weddings... and maybe some Jack Sparrow too? Let's waste no more time. It's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" time!
The Kelvin Timeline pushes on as the Enterprise Crew must face off with the cunning Benedict Cumberbatch, who is totally not playing a very famous Star Trek villain, so quit asking about it! For real, he's just John Harrison and nobody else! Certainly not Kahn. Truly! You gotta believe me! Anyways, let's shine some light on the ever debatable "Star Trek Into Darkness."
What happens when Jack Sparrow becomes the sole protagonist of the Pirates franchise? You get a film featuring Blackbeard, The Fountain of Youth, Mermaids, Poison Frogs, and a surprising amount of sexual humor. It's time to dediscover "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

Maelstrom!

The Bondzilla ship sails into the sunset that is "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End."
The 10th film in the Star Trek Franchise brings about the end of both the Next Generation series and the original era of Star Trek Movies. The Bondzilla Boyz warp back to 2002 to meet a young-faced Tom Hardy, and to dig into the always debated "Star Trek: Nemesis."

Picard and the Next Generation crew are back once again, and this time, it's eternal youth they're dealing with. Alongside clean-shaven faces, romance, Gilbert and Sullivan, villains with stretchy skin, and firmer boobs, of course. It's time to dig into "Star Trek: Insurrection."
The Bondzilla Podcast sets their compass (which may or may not point north) on the sights of a new franchise! The original attraction, Johnny Depp's legendary performance, and a modern film classic are all discussed as we sail into "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl."
Resistance is Futile! Picard faces an old and powerful enemy in The Borg, and the Star Trek franchise returns to the old stand-by of having a member of the cast direct a movie involving Time Travel! Let's head back in time to the near future as we join the Collective of "Star Trek: First Contact."
