Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of IHeart Radio.

Hey, welcome to Weird House Cinema.

This is Rob Lamb.

And this is Joe McCormick. And we're back with our fourth Godzilla movie here on Weird House Cinema. And, man, it's an entry that introduces one of the King of Monsters greatest rivals, Mecca Godzilla, who also happens to be one of the most iconic mecks of all time. I think it's pretty safe to say.

Yes, we're talking about 1974's Godzilla versus Mecca Godzilla.

What technically constitutes a mech? What makes a mech different than a robot? Just size?

If it's a big enough robot, is it a mech?

Well, we're probably going to summon some pedantic corrections here, which we invite from from mech fans.

My understanding, which might be flawed, is that a robot is entirely like off on its own doing its own thing,

O-Bang, its programming. Whereas a mech, I think more typically has someone inside it controlling it,

or you might apply some sort of like a remote control scenario.

I realize that with Mechagodzilla, the lines are maybe a little blurred here.

And by some people's definition, Mech of Godzilla might not be a pure mech.

But I also don't think Mecha Godzilla is a pure robot.

By this distinction,

Robot Jocks is actually, despite the title, about mex.

I think so.

Yeah, I think Robot Jocks is definitely Mex.

Mex.

And maybe Tex-Mex, right?
