I get people complaining about Godzilla having limited screentime in Minus Zero but that's also a tradition with Ghidorah-centric films.
Ghidrah: 8 mins
Monster Zero: 6 mins
DAM: 8.5 mins
King Ghidorah: 15 mins
KOTM 2019: 12 mins
Minus One only had Godzilla on screen 12 mins.

I would probably argue that I shouldn't need to watch a podcast where the head of the DCU needs to tell me which parts of an over 5 year old movie are deemed cannon or not.

Kahn continues to be mad about his own ever-increasing irrelevance as he drifts deeper into his weird brand of grievance-fueled conservatism. So nice that HR willingly gives him space to hang himself with his own ink.
C'mon now. Keanu is great, but let's not act like he is the only action star with a bunch of good movies to his name. Especially when he has duds as well.
Let's not pretend that Connery, Eastwood, Lee, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis, Russell, Chan, Li, and Cruise don't exist.
Is Keanu Reeves Cinema’s greatest action star? I’m genuinely asking because if it’s not Reeves, then who? Between Speed, The Matrix & John Wick, I’m not sure any action star has had a better run than Reeves. Now, it’s cost Reeves his knees & his back, don’t think that all of this didn’t come with a price. But I can’t think of anyone who’s had a run like Reeves, which is why he’s an icon.
Yes, the Matrix & Wick films and Speed are great. Point Break, Man of Tai Chi, Constantine, and Johnny Mnemonic are good too.
But I also don't see much of anyone carrying torches for stuff like Chain Reaction, 47 Ronin, or Street Kings. He is not unimpeachable as an action star.

Obsession is a movie you could tell a lot of people who went and saw it never seen horror films, because they’re applying real life logic and social circumstances to a movie where someone makes a wish based on a magic stick that a girl loves him and applying it to real life.

There's truth to what he's saying but I'd argue the bigger problem is the number of films that rely on tropes in the most tired, unentertaining manner possible. You don't have to reinvent the wheel but at least try rotating the tires.
Christopher Nolan says one problem with modern amateur criticism for films is people recognizing a narrative trope & seeing that as a negative.

“The new EVIL DEAD movie is too mean”.
I’m sorry I think Spirit Halloween and using Horror aesthetics for “cozy” and comfort vibes may have rotted all of your brains.
Look, Quentin, I think Spielberg's West Side Story is great, but come on now.
Are you trying to tell me that Wolf of Wall Street, The Departed, Silence, and Killers of the Flower Moon aren't also excellent?
Quentin Tarantino picks #WestSideStory as the 20th best movie of the 21st century, saying it “revitalized” Spielberg as a filmmaker.
“I don’t think Scorsese has made a film this exciting [this century].”

Not a Universal film, therefore not a remake. This is just simply a new original horror movie about mummy.
