Story[]
During a nuclear test, the French government inadvertently mutates a lizard nest; years later, a giant lizard makes its way to New York City. Dr. Niko Tatopoulos, an expert on the effects of radiation on animals, is sent by the U.S. government to study the beast. When the creature, dubbed "Godzilla" by news outlets, emerges, a massive battle with the military begins. To make matters worse, Niko discovers that Godzilla has laid a nest of 200 eggs, which are ready to hatch.

Quotes[]
- “I don't know about you dudes, but I love a big-ass, fat Godzilla. Like, I want one that looks like he just pounds the food all the time.”
—Stuart @35:20 - “You know what they say—the bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin' over buildings.”
—Elliott @35:35 - “Sometimes humans are the worst monsters, Dan.”
—Stuart @50:55
Elliott: Whereas most reptiles do not have a family connection with their offspring, just leave them to get eaten. Stuart: Pops out your cloaca, hatches, who cares? Maybe I'll eat it myself. Dan: Hey, look: a snack! Elliott: It's mine now! I made it, I get to eat it. Back in my belly, where you came from! Dan: I'm a professional eatin' machine!
