    Godzilla x Kong, A Gentleman in Moscow, and the best films of 1999.

    What even is the name of the new Godzilla film? Is it Godzilla x Kong? Shouldn’t it be ‘v’? Otherwise, it is kind of like Joannie Loves Chachi, which might actually be better?

Neil B Johnson ,

Positive!!!

The accents are a bit hard to understand for a US / UK listener (they talk fast) BUT the show is positive and it doesn’t talk down to the listener. Very balanced and positive. One of My new regular Podcasts.
