Welcome to This Meets That, the podcast where movies combine with other movies to make other movies. It's a convoluted premise for a podcast, so I helpfully explain it over and over again until you're sick of it.

This week, I watch Big Man Japan, an indie deconstruction of Japanese Kaijiu films that is easily the weirdest movie I've seen for the podcast so far, so much so that it almost defies reviewing altogether and prompts a bit of an existential crisis. Then I watch Hancock, the mid-2000s superhero dark comedy starring Will Smith, which tries so hard to be weird but just ends up so disappointingly middle of the road that I question the state of the podcast again, for entirely different reasons.
