RiffTrax Summary
Decades before somebody had the revolutionary idea to do a Godzilla remake that was “good” or “cool”, Hollywood hired the director of 2012 to make one that would be neither of those things but would instead have an ad campaign co-starring the Taco Bell chihuahua.

Matthew Broderick stars as Dr. Niko Tatopoulos, because obviously when you have a character named Niko Tatopoulos, you get Matthew Broderick to play him. Co-starring is the hit Puff Daddy single “Almost Certainly the Low Point of Jimmy Page’s Career” (Sample lyrics: Uh-huh, Yeah, uuh / Uh-huh, Yeah, uuh.) And in all the commercials they showed that part where the guy gets stomped on. Somehow this is a two and a half hour long movie.

About as scary as the Tamagotchi you had back in 1998 and about as loud and obnoxious as the Prodigy CD you were listening to that summer, Godzilla was one of the biggest RiffTrax Live titles we’ve ever done. Join Mike, Kevin, Bill, and roughly 82% of the cast of The Simpsons for this studio MP3 version of Godzilla!


QuipTracks Summary 1
Godzilla was originally about a Japanese guy in a rubber monster suit wrecking cities and fighting big moths. *Record-Scratch* But it's the 90's! And the 90's require a dope new attitude, and This ain't your daddy's Godzilla, and Parents 'll never understand it, and We just do, and Special effects and rap covers of Led Zeppelin songs are fine, but what kids really want is a cohesive plot and likable characters...NOT! *High Five* Put on your clashing, unbuttoned (or incorrectly buttoned) over-shirt, swivel that cap around and pull a tuft of your greasy blond hair through the hole, strap on your RatchTech Shoes and get ready to raise the roof because this fly flick is totally money!


QuipTracks Summary 2
Size Does Matter,” declares the marketing campaign for Roland Emmerich’s Godzilla Americanization, and when faced with two and a half hours of U.S. soldiers jogging around Matthew Broderick as he gapes like a fair-faced fish at a sky blackened by deafening military helicopters fruitlessly and endlessly firing upon a varyingly oversized iguana, well, it’s reassuring that anything matters at all.

“Size Does Matter” is some x-treme, sunglasses-donning marketing, sure, but word is the tagline initially took on a more “size does SO matter” tone when pitched by a flustered promotion team tasked with emphasizing the film’s strong point(s). That defensiveness seems apt for a film so sure of its impending critical evisceration that it preemptively lets Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel know where they can stick their thumbs way up, with the pair featured via broad impersonation as the bumbling, gluttonous Mayor Ebert and his nagging assistant, Gene.
While the original film, Gojira, served as an allegory for the incomprehensible suffering inflicted upon Japan by the atomic bomb, Godzilla ‘98 aspires to highlight the just-as-valid suffering of Americans, such as the agonizing awkwardness of having an unpronounceable last name, or the struggle of wanting to find a big scoop, or the demoralizing effects of being “too nice.” Mostly, though, it’s big; it’s loud; it’s stupid; so size had BETTER matter, because “loud and stupid” doesn’t make for a lucrative ad campaign, even if we would all appreciate the honesty.
