Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: Season 2, Episode 1, "Cause and Effect"

This week, Da7e and Neil move from Westeros to the Monsterverse as Apple TV's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns for its second season. In The Calm [06:24] , they recap the story so far and piece together where the events of season one (and season two's premiere) fit on the larger timeline of Legendary's Titan-filled story world. They also discuss Kong Skull Island and how Kong and his neighborhood have evolved since the 2017 film. Then in The Storm [59:32] , they look ahead to episode two and beyond, attempting to predict what will be this season's big technological MacGuffin. They also discuss a few wild theories about where this series may ultimately end. And finally, in a very special new segment called The Godzilla Project [01:16:20] , Da7e leads Neil through Session Zero of a new "Kids on Bikes"-inspired roleplaying experience. Over the next 10 weeks, Neil will create his own Godzilla movie project and be at the mercy of Da7e's dungeon master expertise and numerous dice rolls to see if he can deliver a successful entry in the Monsterverse franchise. Next week, Monarch season two continues with episode two, "Resonance," on Friday. Which means there will be a new pod in your feeds on Saturday with more Calm, more Storm, and Session One of The Godzilla Project where Neil will make his initial movie pitch!
