The question of when this movie takes place was brought up in the show. If Godzilla exists in it then it probably takes place some time after the end of WWII, as traditionally Godzilla was awakened and empowered by the nuclear radiation from the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. Godzillas existence in this movie also only puts it one degree of separation away from Marvel, as they published a 24 issue series in which Godzilla fought the Avengers, SHIELD, and other Marvel characters since they only had the rights to Godzilla and not the other monsters for him to fight. This leads to the biggest question, when will they put Sky Captain in the MCU?

Long time listener, first time poster. Great episode. I have two things. The first isn't related to the film itself but the trailer. I haven't found any positive confirmation on this online anywhere, but I am certain that the voiceover narrator for the trailer was Peter Cullen, aka the voice of Optimus Prime and Eeyore! Comparing the voice to this Transformers Armada promo from the same time period (https://youtu.be/9JUAJ9cj3kY) really proves it to me. Cullen has a history of doing trailer voiceovers so it's not a huge surprise, but this is the first time I've heard him on the show. Second, in the 2008 portion of the film, Cronenberg says that he wants to take Jason to their Scranton facility. This makes me with that the film had gone in a completely different direction. In this alternate take Cronenberg does take him to their facility in Scranton, PA, but Jason escapes. He makes his way to a business park in the city, that happens to be home of the Dunder-Mifflin paper company circa season 4 of The Office!
