On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it's time for reflection. Specifically, we want to look back at the impact of TV character deaths and why they hit us so hard. We spend so much time with these characters, so when writers take them away from us, it can truly throw a curveball into our lives. But which ones made the harshest impact?

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire burning up movie theaters worldwide, we decided to take a look at monster mashups, why we love them, and then go about plotting our own take on films or TV monsters or villains that could make for an exciting versus or team-up movie all on their own. Thanos versus The Emperor? Shelob vs. Blue? How about E.T versus Cooper from Super 8?
