Summary
This week, Da7e and Neil get distracted from their search for Godzilla by a flurry of confusing time travel rules as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters enters its season-closing arc.
In The Calm [07:20], they question the laws of space and time as they apply to this show's plot and wonder how the writer's room will dig itself out of an increasingly perilous corner. They also discuss the potential resolutions to the season's story and whether any of them would be satisfying without breaking the canon of the Monsterverse.
Then in The Storm [57:30], your faithful hosts anticipate next week's episode, which promises a shorter runtime but, more importantly, the long-awaited presence of Godzilla.
And finally, The Godzilla Project [01:06:16] RPG dives into the post-production process as Neil's Godzilla: Awakening gets an assembly cut, a conclusion, and a schedule for reshoots as studio interference looms.
Next week, coverage of Monarch continues with season 2, episode 8, "Separate Ways." And The Godzilla Project RPG finishes post production with the hope that Godzilla: Awakening will come in on time and under budget.
