I love how, when speaking about Godzilla both as a character and a cultural artifact, we universally speak as if he is a real dude. Like a long snubbed actor finally getting his Oscar nom
Incredible to think that after all the praise and incredible reception, Godzilla Minus One isn't available on any streaming service yet and you have to resort to camrip footage to show scenes from that movie.
This feels like the Golden Age of being a Godzilla fan. Little kid me would have never predicted this lol. Liking Godzilla as a kid was NOT the cool thing.
My theory as to why Gojira initially zeroed in on Japan in 1954 was that he sensed the residual radiation in from the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Could be, but why head to Tokyo instead of either or those locations? Or any atomic test site in the Pacific? I think it's more likely that he claims a certain territory staring form his home island, and Japan falls within it.
I think it’s territorial. But in the first movie didn’t Godzilla follow the navy back to Tokyo? They send ships to kill him. He followed them back. Another theory is the city lights attracted him. Tokyo is the biggest city in Japan.
As a HUGE lifelong Godzilla fan, here are the answers to some of these questions: 6:50 So, when working on the original film back in 1954, the filmmakers based his design off of a T-Rex and an Iguanadon with plates like a stegosaurus. 10:10 In the original Japanese film from 1954 Godzilla was said to be 50 meters tall (or about 165 feet tall) this was because, at the time, that was bigger than any building in Japan so to the Japanese in the 1950s that was huge. But in the American version, Godzilla King Of The Monsters! from 1956 with Raymond Burr, they said that he was over 400 feet tall. This is because in America, where there are giant skyscrapers, Godzilla would’ve sounded much smaller to an American audience (comparatively). 11:28 Actually, the real reason why he attacks cities is not because he’s hungry but because he’s angry at mankind for reawakening and scaring him with their reckless use of nuclear weapons. 13:50 Yeah, but he didn’t give birth to Minilla. As we see in Son Of Godzilla (1967) the egg was already on the island and was mutated due to a weather experiment and hatched as a mini Godzilla (or Minilla). Minilla didn’t come out of Godzilla’s body. Also, he is the KING of the monsters. 21:06 He’s not a lizard he’s a dinosaur. 24:30 Also, Godzilla was originally created to reenact the firebombings and the nuclear attacks on Japan during and after WW2. But within the context of the original film, Godzilla was reawoken and scarred by mankind’s careless use of nuclear weapons and so he lashes out at mankind in anger. And keep in mind that he is just an animal that lived 2 million years ago before continents existed and so he likely wouldn’t have any concept of different races or types or groups of humans. All he would know is that mankind is responsible for reawakening and scaring him so he lashes out at mankind in general which just so happens to be Japan.
In my opinion we need a separate video focusing solely on the Monsterverse. It's only a handful of movies but with each film more questions arise and when they tried to answer them it often contradicted his own lore.
About MINUS 1: It’s subtle, but definitely implied, that this version of Gojira is malicious. He ENJOYS the destruction, even if he isn’t fully aware of its implications. Indeed, after their first encounter, he seems to pursue the protagonist outright, at least in a couple of encounters.
Also, Minya/Minilla had a lot more than a single movie appearance he was the replacement baby godzilla after Godzilla Jr became Godzilla which was the transition from Showa to Heisei eras.
Now that you've covered Godzilla, the next 10 unanswered questions, should be about King Kong, obviously. Nice job, & love the Blue Oyster Cult reference, at the beginning of the video. Wonder how many others on here, got that one?
I'm pretty well on board with most of your takes here. One thing I always liked to headcanon is that Godzooky is sort of a Varan like creature in that continuity. What led me to think that, oddly enough, was Destroy All Monsters. There's alot of conjecture about Varan's brief appearance in that movie. Apparently the prop for Varan noticeably smaller than alot of the other monsters. Depending on who you ask that is either just due to the long shots they have of him in the distance or he's actually supposed to be a much smaller creature than the previous Varan.
Wait, not all the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were female. They were *supposed* to be, but life, uh, finds a way. On the subject of Godzilla origins, I think Shin is the only one implied to have been a deliberate act. That scientist who commited suicide wanted Godzilla to happen.
I kind of was hoping you would answer the question of "how does Godzilla get up when he falls down" I mean throughout multiple films he usually gets knocked down but yet gets up, with no problem what so ever, it even happens twice in the finale of shin Godzilla. I mean is it even possible for it's T-rexes arms to help it gain motion in order to stand up?
And GMK.. that Godzilla is otherwise known as Ghost Godzilla and is literally a specter of the dead souls from the atom bombs. NOT the regular G-Man. You can tell because of the gray tones his body has, as if hes more ghostly.
I'd say he's male depending on what version you look at. Because speaking on the whole "Godzilla having a kid", he never had a kid in the Heisei era the way a female would. Nor in the Showa era. It never explains in the Showa era how Minya came about IIRC. And in the Heisei era, he just adopted a kid. Godzilla in the 1998 version can however be seen as female. But in most versions I've seen, less likely, especially because you never see him with a kid that he had confirmed to be his biological son. Plus, you should look at the Japanese version of Godzilla's Revenge, and see how Minya refers to him. If he calls Godzilla father, probably male, and adopted Minya. Like, if he uses the Japanese word for father. So... 1st Godzilla: Could more than likely be female. Maybe she had Minya/Minnila, then the second Godzilla, who was male, adopted it. 1998: Likely female The rest: Probably not when you see the way they treat him.
Why does Godzilla hate Tokyo so much? Well, if going off All Out Attack's interpretation, I'd say he's/it's protesting against Japan's war crimes they committed in WWII, and never admitted to/apologised for. If that version's the souls of all those who died in WWII, I like to believe it's all those Japan wronged coming back to haunt them. He chooses Tokyo, because it's the best place to make a scene.
The finale of the showa era is destroy all monsters. It’s set in 1999 after terror of mechagodzilla. The godzillasaurus wasn’t alone in 91. There was more than one. That’s why there’s the 54 attack and the heisei Godzilla. Also it was already mutated when the cast decides to send a nuclear submarine to mutate it. That’s why it catches them off guard and absorbs the radiation by destroying the sub. Godzilla jr. Might eat whales i think in ghidorah the three headed monster he was chasing whales in the Japanese version. But he also feeds on radiation. Godzilla jr. Was not a Godzillasaurus in 95. He started getting irradiated by 94. You forgot Godzilla filius, the “jr” of the reiwa era. Shin Godzilla is an animal in pain. Listen to the soundtrack when he fires his beam. Godzilla uses his feet, tail, swim bladder, and buoyancy to “stand” in the middle of the ocean.
These are some interesting questions and answers. Most of them I knew because I've been watching Godzilla since the 1970s. As far as how Godzilla is able to stand up in water especially if he's in the middle of the ocean I just naturally took it he was floating I mean most humans can float keyword there's mosts. The reason I say most people is there some people who cannot float do to the reason they can't relax. As far as God Suzuki or Manila or whatever you want to call him I quit trying to figure out where he came from or how he was developed a long time ago I just went with the theory okay somewhere somehow this creature was born by an egg that was laid sometime in the past.
Huh.... Who knew that Godzilla would turn out to be the badass nonbinary representation in media i've been waiting for all along?! :P - Godzilla and Angela Baker are my two trans icons, and I don't give a fuck who has a problem with this hahaha
Angela is post-op after the 1st movie, but Goji is hermaphroditic from what I can tell because there's never a boy/girl Goji. As for his pronoun? He's the Big Guy. Has nothing to do with genitalia, more like the energy of "hammer always best tool". If you disagree please elaborate
@@greenkoopa Well my comment was mostly just me joking around... Anyhow, Angela being post-op doesnt make her any less trans - If anything I always thought it was kinda cool how they only mention it breifly at the start of part 2 and 3, but the rest of the movie they use her appropriate pronouns etc. -- They're weirdly accepting of her reassignment for a couple 80s slasher movies lol. As for Godzilla, well did you watch the video? He talks at length about Godzila's gender - and says that he usually gets called he/him pronouns. And for the record, there actually are a fair number of eople who identify as non-binary but are still fine with the more traditional, gendered pronouns. Myself, included for instance - I'm at least a bit gender-fluid, but I really am indifferent what pronouns people use for me (so long as they're not obviously *trying* to be a dick)
Godzilla floats with almost entire body above water because she's holding in a giant gas bubble in the lowest region of her digestive system with so much pressure it would send her to outer space if she releases it. I'm saying "she/her" because only females are able to hold in farts to such extreme extent without letting go.
I think Godzilla does fit best with an It pronoun. But ultimately it doesn’t matter if someone refers to it as him or her or it. I doubt Godzilla has a strong stance on it himself.
Godzilla Minus One is one of my top two movies of 2023. I'm not sure if that's b because it was so good( it was really good) , or because the movie field in 2023 was so pathetic.
On Question #3: At the beginning of Destroy All Monsters (1968), we're told that Monsterland, the island humans have built to safely contain all the kaiju, is stocked with prey animals to keep the kaiju from getting hungry. I think we even see Rodan eating some fish. That doesn't prove that Godzilla eats anything, but it does fit with the suggestion in the 1954 film that he (like the other kaiju) is carnivorous.
@@movietimelines awesome although I think you got your work cut out for you it's a LONG list and will the 80s project books be available at bam or just online ordering?
14:55 In my head canon, The 1954 Godzilla was a female, while the second showa Godzilla was male Probably the 1954 being the one that laid Minilla's egg
Here's a question for a follow-up episode: given that many Godzilla films feature monsters that originated in other series (Mothra, King Kong), how many films are in the greater Godzilla movie universe (all films featuring Godzilla + all films sharing continuity with any of those films)?
Movie Timelines: *"Godzilla is gender neutral."* Twitter: *"Oh my god that means Godzilla is......"* *(Inhales)* *"WOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKE!!!!"* Me: *Finds the person that claims everything is woke and smack the white skin off of him.*
Hi, haven’t seen anyone comment this, but Godzilla 1998 maybe in the GMK continuity since in the beginning there is a military briefing in 2001 of a monster attack on New York in 1998, the Americans say it was Godzilla, but the Japanese military leaders said it was not. Also GMK has the 1954 film canon, just wanted to say it since you didn’t emphasize it
While the continuity is broken, the Millenium era is all one saga. Final Wars seems fully out of place but its staed its more of a future movie with the prologue where Godzilla is trapped in ice takes place right after the movie before Final Wars but then skips ahead as the narrator monologues about the aliens coming and sharing their dna to create the human mutant army and limited tech from the aliens otherwise the mind control might have actually been found out about way earlier and stopped before they had to fight each other.
I was afraid you'd missed a major universe - the one where Godzilla faced Charles Barkley, but that wasn't actual film, so it's okay. What is Godzilla? He's what happen when a T Rex gets drunk at a Stegosaurus bar...
You’re going to an awful lot of trouble trying to make logical sense out of a strictly fictional character. Just as you pointed out all the various origins of the character, you also can have just as many or no logical origins. It’s a fictional character designed to make money for the movie makers that use this character. That is the one guaranteed origin of Godzilla. Everything else is guesswork, silliness and nonsense.
Josh, this is the worst video you've ever made, some of your jokes should be a criminal offence lol I have a huge bruise on my forehead from the amount of slaps I've given myself 😂😂😂
So like, I CAN'T listen to you talk about Godzilla because when you made your continuity video you said "the first movie doesn't give a date" when the exact time and date of the sinking of the Eiko-Maru is LITERALLY THE FIRST LINE OF SPOKEN DIALOGUE IN THE FILM. I actually sincerely love this channel, when it comes to horror movies I trust you to know what you're talking about, and I've binged so much of your stuff, it's really great, but as the keeper of the scrolls as far as Godzilla is concerned - and please understand that I don't mean this as a putdown because I don't think it in any way is a reflection of your character - you have literally no fucking idea what the hell you're talking about when you bring up Godzilla. Like it's like watching a flat earther trying to explain gravity, it hurts my ears, brain, and heart how absolutely clueless and donkey brained you get when talking about my monster like that. Like seriously, you don't know what you're talking about, please stop. But I was actually looking for something Godzilla related to make a quick video about I could write and record fairly quickly, and this just landed in my lap exactly when I needed it to, so since I know from my previous experience trying to watch you talk about Godzilla that all of these "unanswered" questions will actually have definitive answers that you just don't know, I'm just going to answer them for you. Not here, not in this comment, I'm trying to take steps to break bad habits and that includes leaving essay length comments correcting things people get wrong about Godzilla movies. Instead I'm going to channel this into something more creative and make one of those old fashioned "video responses" like youtube used to do. Again, I actually adore this channel and I'm a big fan of your horror continuity and unanswered questions videos, I think you're a cool dude and I've gotten a lot of entertainment value out of this channel. It's that Godzilla is my whole personality, and while I was skimming through this Godzilla video to write down your questions, I kept seeing clips of the original Zilla movie... which Godzilla isn't in... and I just... like I just can't with this shit, man. Like when it comes to Friday or Nightmare I'll defer to you, but when it's Godzilla you just look like a clown, idunno what else to tell you. Anwyas I'll edit this comment later when I'm done with the video.
i’m not sure what you mean. the literal first line of dialogue is people on the boat reacting to their ship sinking, and then it’s Ogata getting a phone call. there is the scene where they talk about the boat, and they say august 13th, but no year is given, and no day of the week to reflect what year that day would be set, so it doesn’t help with the timeline. also, you may say that the Zilla film doesn’t feature Godzilla, but it does, or at least an out of continuity version of him. he may not be loved, but he’s an alternate version of the character and is distinct from the version that appears in Final Wars. they are clearly two different characters, as continuity wise, Final Wars takes place in a universe in which monsters have been around and existed for decades, whereas the ‘98 Godzilla film is in a universe where it is the only kaiju. and these are not “unanswered questions with definitive answers that i just don’t know.” as a lifelong Godzilla fan, i know quite a bit about all of this stuff. the purpose of the UQ videos is to take questions that exist online that fans have from watching the movies, and present the answers that exist outside of the films. I’m sorry that you think i look like a “clown” when i talk about Godzilla, but i take offense to that as I’ve been watching these films my whole life. i saw Godzilla ‘85 in the theater. these videos are made for the casual fans to answer their questions that they may have. I’m sorry that you didn’t get enjoyment out of this one, but that’s no reason to resort to cheap insults.
26:10 to my opinion, it shows that nuke or nuclear bomb drop on Japan in the era of ww2 was devastating and it shows that Godzilla or Nuclear Weapon is treat to us ourself human that is the original and minus one Godzilla is saying like we as human are treat to our self not other animals
I love how, when speaking about Godzilla both as a character and a cultural artifact, we universally speak as if he is a real dude. Like a long snubbed actor finally getting his Oscar nom
I could only imagine his reaction to not getting the Oscar for best actor!!!
Vrahno has some great godzilla getting award videos lmfao
Incredible to think that after all the praise and incredible reception, Godzilla Minus One isn't available on any streaming service yet and you have to resort to camrip footage to show scenes from that movie.
This feels like the Golden Age of being a Godzilla fan. Little kid me would have never predicted this lol. Liking Godzilla as a kid was NOT the cool thing.
I agree with the Monsterverse and massive sucess with Minus One.
My theory as to why Gojira initially zeroed in on Japan in 1954 was that he sensed the residual radiation in from the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Could be, but why head to Tokyo instead of either or those locations? Or any atomic test site in the Pacific?
I think it's more likely that he claims a certain territory staring form his home island, and Japan falls within it.
@@JCIce007 That's a good theory, too.
I think it’s territorial. But in the first movie didn’t Godzilla follow the navy back to Tokyo? They send ships to kill him. He followed them back.
Another theory is the city lights attracted him. Tokyo is the biggest city in Japan.
98 Zilla also had that surviving egg from the end that became the Godzilla from the animated series. Which is super-underrated.
That's a lot of fish.
Nah just a nuke to kill him
As a HUGE lifelong Godzilla fan, here are the answers to some of these questions:
6:50 So, when working on the original film back in 1954, the filmmakers based his design off of a T-Rex and an Iguanadon with plates like a stegosaurus.

Loved the channel for a while now, but then I get a Blue Oyster Cult Easter egg. Made my day 😀😀😀
In my opinion we need a separate video focusing solely on the Monsterverse. It's only a handful of movies but with each film more questions arise and when they tried to answer them it often contradicted his own lore.
Do you think the 98 Godzilla would have been better reviewed if it had been marketed as the "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" remake it actually was?
Absolutely!!
I love that film.
No, because people would have whined about it being a Godzilla knock off with his design.
1:10 the British film series Carry On had 31 films between 1958-1992. Which were all directed by Gerald Thomas and produced byPeter Rogers.
Godzilla. Because. That's all. Great show!
I'm hoping one day they decide to make another Shin Godzilla movie.
About MINUS 1: It’s subtle, but definitely implied, that this version of Gojira is malicious. He ENJOYS the destruction, even if he isn’t fully aware of its implications. Indeed, after their first encounter, he seems to pursue the protagonist outright, at least in a couple of encounters.
Cracking show as usual
I expecting the omen but godzilla is even better
I so want him to do a video on that franchise.
Also, Minya/Minilla had a lot more than a single movie appearance he was the replacement baby godzilla after Godzilla Jr became Godzilla which was the transition from Showa to Heisei eras.
I like the ambient background music, its goes well with you voice!
Now that you've covered Godzilla, the next 10 unanswered questions, should be about King Kong, obviously. Nice job, & love the Blue Oyster Cult reference, at the beginning of the video. Wonder how many others on here, got that one?
Nice Blue Oyster Cult reference!
That was fun! Thanks!

"Dagon" could be a reference to the H.P. Lovecraft story with the same title (it was also the name of a god worshipped in ancient Syria).
I have owned that movie here on yt since 2019. Unrelated.
I was thinking that myself.
I appreciate that you had to travel to the capital wasteland for this one, much respect 👍
12:02 There's a frigging Pazuzu statue in crap Atlantis!

Well there are 66 Hopalong Cassidy movies that were made from 1935 to 1948 all staring William Boyd.
And GMK.. that Godzilla is otherwise known as Ghost Godzilla and is literally a specter of the dead souls from the atom bombs. NOT the regular G-Man. You can tell because of the gray tones his body has, as if hes more ghostly.
Godzilla is connected to spongebob
Just because the two shows involve atomic bombing doesn’t mean they are connected, which their not lol.
Godzilla 1998 was mentioned in GMK so they are in the same continuity
Cartoon godzilla has very familiar star shaped spikes
What if godzilla is like a seahorse or a snail
I'd say he's male depending on what version you look at. Because speaking on the whole "Godzilla having a kid", he never had a kid in the Heisei era the way a female would. Nor in the Showa era. It never explains in the Showa era how Minya came about IIRC. And in the Heisei era, he just adopted a kid.
Godzilla in the 1998 version can however be seen as female. But in most versions I've seen, less likely, especially because you never see him with a kid that he had confirmed to be his biological son. Plus, you should look at the Japanese version of Godzilla's Revenge, and see how Minya refers to him. If he calls Godzilla father, probably male, and adopted Minya. Like, if he uses the Japanese word for father.
So...
1st Godzilla: Could more than likely be female. Maybe she had Minya/Minnila, then the second Godzilla, who was male, adopted it.
1998: Likely female
The rest: Probably not when you see the way they treat him.
Why does Godzilla hate Tokyo so much? Well, if going off All Out Attack's interpretation, I'd say he's/it's protesting against Japan's war crimes they committed in WWII, and never admitted to/apologised for. If that version's the souls of all those who died in WWII, I like to believe it's all those Japan wronged coming back to haunt them. He chooses Tokyo, because it's the best place to make a scene.
Is that why Gorgo they have her as a mother to set apart from Godzilla?
Lost world:Jurassic Park has a reference to the t-rex version of Godzilla
The finale of the showa era is destroy all monsters. It’s set in 1999 after terror of mechagodzilla.

Final Wars seems fully out of place but its staed its more of a future movie with the prologue where Godzilla is trapped in ice takes place right after the movie before Final Wars but then skips ahead as the narrator monologues about the aliens coming and sharing their dna to create the human mutant army and limited tech from the aliens otherwise the mind control might have actually been found out about way earlier and stopped before they had to fight each other.
After he was frozen just look at the tail carefully before and during him frozen just look at each scene during that
Still pissed that Minus 1 didn't get nominated for best foreign film
You don't get nominated for that category unless your country submits it, Japan's academy submitted another movie for it
@@jesusramirezromo2037 ya I know that. I think it should've had the nod instead of the one that they nominated
I was afraid you'd missed a major universe - the one where Godzilla faced Charles Barkley, but that wasn't actual film, so it's okay.
What is Godzilla? He's what happen when a T Rex gets drunk at a Stegosaurus bar...
most of these have been answered.
I gave up on the western G... Japan all the way.
You’re going to an awful lot of trouble trying to make logical sense out of a strictly fictional character. Just as you pointed out all the various origins of the character, you also can have just as many or no logical origins. It’s a fictional character designed to make money for the movie makers that use this character. That is the one guaranteed origin of Godzilla. Everything else is guesswork, silliness and nonsense.
Josh, this is the worst video you've ever made, some of your jokes should be a criminal offence lol I have a huge bruise on my forehead from the amount of slaps I've given myself 😂😂😂
So like, I CAN'T listen to you talk about Godzilla because when you made your continuity video you said "the first movie doesn't give a date" when the exact time and date of the sinking of the Eiko-Maru is LITERALLY THE FIRST LINE OF SPOKEN DIALOGUE IN THE FILM. I actually sincerely love this channel, when it comes to horror movies I trust you to know what you're talking about, and I've binged so much of your stuff, it's really great, but as the keeper of the scrolls as far as Godzilla is concerned - and please understand that I don't mean this as a putdown because I don't think it in any way is a reflection of your character - you have literally no fucking idea what the hell you're talking about when you bring up Godzilla. Like it's like watching a flat earther trying to explain gravity, it hurts my ears, brain, and heart how absolutely clueless and donkey brained you get when talking about my monster like that. Like seriously, you don't know what you're talking about, please stop.
But I was actually looking for something Godzilla related to make a quick video about I could write and record fairly quickly, and this just landed in my lap exactly when I needed it to, so since I know from my previous experience trying to watch you talk about Godzilla that all of these "unanswered" questions will actually have definitive answers that you just don't know, I'm just going to answer them for you. Not here, not in this comment, I'm trying to take steps to break bad habits and that includes leaving essay length comments correcting things people get wrong about Godzilla movies. Instead I'm going to channel this into something more creative and make one of those old fashioned "video responses" like youtube used to do.
Again, I actually adore this channel and I'm a big fan of your horror continuity and unanswered questions videos, I think you're a cool dude and I've gotten a lot of entertainment value out of this channel. It's that Godzilla is my whole personality, and while I was skimming through this Godzilla video to write down your questions, I kept seeing clips of the original Zilla movie... which Godzilla isn't in... and I just... like I just can't with this shit, man. Like when it comes to Friday or Nightmare I'll defer to you, but when it's Godzilla you just look like a clown, idunno what else to tell you.
Anwyas I'll edit this comment later when I'm done with the video.
i’m not sure what you mean. the literal first line of dialogue is people on the boat reacting to their ship sinking, and then it’s Ogata getting a phone call. there is the scene where they talk about the boat, and they say august 13th, but no year is given, and no day of the week to reflect what year that day would be set, so it doesn’t help with the timeline.
also, you may say that the Zilla film doesn’t feature Godzilla, but it does, or at least an out of continuity version of him. he may not be loved, but he’s an alternate version of the character and is distinct from the version that appears in Final Wars. they are clearly two different characters, as continuity wise, Final Wars takes place in a universe in which monsters have been around and existed for decades, whereas the ‘98 Godzilla film is in a universe where it is the only kaiju.
and these are not “unanswered questions with definitive answers that i just don’t know.” as a lifelong Godzilla fan, i know quite a bit about all of this stuff. the purpose of the UQ videos is to take questions that exist online that fans have from watching the movies, and present the answers that exist outside of the films.
I’m sorry that you think i look like a “clown” when i talk about Godzilla, but i take offense to that as I’ve been watching these films my whole life. i saw Godzilla ‘85 in the theater. these videos are made for the casual fans to answer their questions that they may have. I’m sorry that you didn’t get enjoyment out of this one, but that’s no reason to resort to cheap insults.
Why would you comment without verifying your information?
It would appear that you are keeping faulty Godzilla scrolls. Might want to look into that.
26:10 to my opinion, it shows that nuke or nuclear bomb drop on Japan in the era of ww2 was devastating and it shows that Godzilla or Nuclear Weapon is treat to us ourself human that is the original and minus one Godzilla is saying like we as human are treat to our self not other animals
Correct pronunciation to three headed devil is king ghi-do-rah just respect the Japan man
Was that only 9 questions?
Funny when he said question 10 the number nine shut up on the screen😂
@@Late30sDude I guess the roar threw me off
Is there a way to watch Minus One with English subs?
