I wonder if "heat ray" is an accurate translation of the Japanese dialogue.

that's a very cool looking plane

I do wonder how easy it would be to control for a pilot new to it, though

I wasn’t aware of the Godzilla cartoon. I like Hanna Barbera’s work, especially her writings on authoritarianism and the banality of evil

We need a miracle to make it work!

Doing nothing won't cause a miracle either.

The named destroyers and minelayer have their names painted on the sides of the hull in capitalized Latin script ("YUKIKAZE", etc.) rather than the usual katakana, why?

When Godzilla Minus One debuted on Rotten Tomatoes it was at what rating?

I've reviewed at least 2 movies with 0 on RT. One was Terrorvision, the other was Mac And Me. Clearly not the best measure if you're going back 30-40 years.

I dance by the light of the TV screen

All night long

I watch the Medusa's eyes turn green

But my own reflection I've never seen

Correct! 100% , reviews from Americans were overall positive, although some criticized and complained about the lack of Godzilla screen time. When the first negative review was posted, Yamazaki simply tweeted in response, "Finally (lol)."

I know we got a bonus Axl in last night’s movie poster, but I can’t spot him in this one. Is he there and I’m just missing him, or what? Also, I got confused about the time zones again.

I haven't found him either.

I haven't been adding Axl to the matinee posters. This is just the second one. But I can in the future!

Good to know! Sometimes you’re very sneaky with hiding him, and my eyesight isn’t great, so I could have spent the afternoon looking for something that wasn’t there. 😂😂😂

I wasn't sure if it would be ok since this is on my Substack and not Wonkette.

Axl belongs to all Wonkers. 😺 I’m just his manager.
