Our second week of GDT In The GTA brings us Guillermo del Toro in action blockbuster mode: the rock 'em sock 'em kaiju robot punchfest, PACIFIC RIM from 2013! Join us in canceling the apocalypse!
We're diving (lol) deep into how drifting works, what separates this from other mecha anime & monster movies, and what constitutes an analog robot. And we're working to answer the question: did GDT cast Charlie Day purely on the Pepe Silvia episode of Always Sunny? And where does Gamera fit into this picture?
Nick takes Erin on GDT's journey from DEVIL'S BACKBONE to PACIFIC RIM and, spoiler alert, James Cameron is way more involved than you might think. And can Erin finally best a round of Graboid Onto These Facts?
Next week we go full Oscars mode with 2017's THE SHAPE OF WATER!
