Episode 435: ‘Tis the Season For Godzilla

Awards season is upon us and both Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy are preparing their Chicago ballots. But is there anything amongst the seven new titles this week that will fit? There are a pair of documentaries from the legendary Frederick Wiseman (Menus Plaisirs – Les Troisgros) and about a tumultuous year in the life of award-winning musician Jon Baptiste (American Symphony). Steve has some words for an apocalyptic horror film (Everyone Will Burn) and Erik wishes that title applied to the latest body-switch comedy with Jennifer Garner (Family Switch). Do family holiday comedies get any better when you add Eddie Murphy battling the 12 Days of Christmas (Candy Cane Lane) or how about when John Woo takes dialogue away from his gunplay (Silent Night)? Finally the latest in the ultimate kaiju arrives from Toho Studios (Godzilla Minus One). Where does it rank within the series?
