What Makes a Surprise Cameo Actually Good? (submitted by Eric Johnson)
The Godzilla franchise has always been a bit of a blind spot for me, and it's one people have been asking me to cover for years. So for this I would just buy the whole Criterion Godzilla box set and go deep, covering the whole history of the series, up through Shin Godzilla and the American versions.
The cameo video I imagine being kind of like the PG-13 F-bomb video from a few years ago - breaking down a short, simple cinematic device, discussing the functions it serves and how it can be used well. And I have strict rules about what really qualifies as a cameo. Tom Cruise in Goldmember? That counts. Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder? Not a cameo! If they appear in more than one scene it's just a supporting role.
And don't forget to vote in our other match-up of the day: Cinematic Video Games vs. Legasequels
