Oh, well, hello there. I am Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters, the show that treats popular

culture as the most important kind of culture, because it could potentially be the kind that

bums you out the least. Now, in the before times, Troubled Waters would pit two teams of comedians

against each other in a pop culture battle royale. But now, teaming with another person who is

not in your quarantine pod is possibly lethal,

definitely unethical, much more frowned upon than trying to say this film was presented in

4-3 ratio to preserve Zach Snyder's original vision. No. So for now, it is one comic against

another. To win this battle, each comic will be called upon to use their smarts, their rhetorical

skills, the great comebacks they've been keeping in a moleskin notebook in isolation, to

earn the coveted Troubled Waters title, Pundit Emeritus, the PE title automatically gives

a person's opinion on, let's say, the emotional trauma of King Kong, more weight than a

civilians. You're listening to Troubled Waters. Let's meet our contestants.

Our first is the co-host of the excellent new film podcast, I of the Duck.

He's also a colleague of mine from Esquire that does not give him an unfair advantage.

I don't think, but I guess we'll find out.

It's Dom Niro.

Dave, thank you so much for having me.

I just want to start by saying Kong is king.

Kong is king, huh?

Did you see Godzilla versus, this is a foolish question because of course you did, but did you?

Yes, of course I did.

Okay, and honestly, what are your honest thoughts?
