Decoy Deloy is back with a hot dose of Music News, brought to you by Hello Merch. Whether you're looking to source, print, sell, or buy merch, HELLO has you covered. And this week at Hello it's all about HEAVY METAL. That's Heavy Metal, the debut solo album from Cameron Winter, frontman of Geese. Full of groovers, folkie ballads, and strange story songs, Cameron's label Partisan records says the album, “draws on both the chaos of the road and Winter's greater sense of existential dread.” Chaos and existential dread? Why does that sound so familiar? In other news, Portland's Project Pabst goes down July 26 and 27 at Waterfront Park. Who's playing? Decoy fills you in. And to close, on Tuesday, February 25th, Tim Heidecker and The Very Good Band came to Phoenix, Arizona to play The Crescent Ballroom with special guest Fred Armisen. Decoy shares his thoughts about the gig and explains why Heidecker's music is so surprising. Shop Cameron Winter at Hello MerchShop Portlandia at Hello MerchShop for Heidecker and Wood's Starting From Nowhere at Hello Merch Call us anytime at 1-877-WASTOIDS.

I was startled when I walked into my living room today to find Andrew Klavan (no relation) sitting in my chair! But while he's in town I thought we might as well talk about his new book, A Woman Underground, the latest in the Cameron Winter series. It's a detective story that's at once gripping and intellectually fascinating, so we explored some of the influences and themes that make this book an essential read for our times. As it turns out, we've taken two very different approaches to one idea: materialism is in decline. So what comes next?

"It's a really good point because I think that the modern sensibility and certainly the post-modern sensibility tells us that everything is self-referential. That if we have a certain feeling, it's because of our chemistry, it's because of our sexuality or urges that come within ourselves. But the older way of thinking is that we're in a relationship with a world that actually is reflected in our mind. And I think that that older sensibility is probably closer to the truth. It explains a lot more. It makes a lot more sense of things.So every writer knows this, that he's not actually drawing so much from himself as some kind of literal inspiration, some kind of breathing into him that connects him, his own experiences, his childhood experiences, life experiences, his mental experiences with something that is very real outside him. And what he's trying to do in art, I think, is communicate that experience to other people in the only way possible. You can't describe it, you can't put adjectives into it. You have to dramatize it or paint a picture of it or write a song about it. That's the way human beings communicate the experience of being human."What makes a good drama?

"I found faith very late in life. And while it has been an incredible joy for me, a joyful journey. It remains a journey. You still are traveling. You don't suddenly think like, now I've got it all figured out! So you still are aware of your own struggles. And the fact that it took me so long to come to a place where I could believe...I was 49 when I was baptized. And I had gone down every stupid, wrong, obviously dishonest road it was possible to go down. I was not somebody who converted at 19 and never changed my mind. I changed my mind a million times. And so I was aware of where all the dead ends were. Now I can at least say I know that this road ends here, and this road ends there, logically, morally, and emotionally. And that's been helpful to me."What makes a good drama? What advantages do human storytellers have over their AI counterparts? Where do ideas come from?

"It's a really good point because I think that the modern sensibility and certainly the post-modern sensibility tells us that everything is self-referential. That if we have a certain feeling, it's because of our chemistry, it's because of our sexuality or urges that come within ourselves. But the older way of thinking is that we're in a relationship with a world that actually is reflected in our mind. And I think that that older sensibility is probably closer to the truth. It explains a lot more. It makes a lot more sense of things.So every writer knows this, that he's not actually drawing so much from himself as some kind of literal inspiration, some kind of breathing into him that connects him, his own experiences, his childhood experiences, life experiences, his mental experiences with something that is very real outside him. And what he's trying to do in art, I think, is communicate that experience to other people in the only way possible. You can't describe it, you can't put adjectives into it. You have to dramatize it or paint a picture of it or write a song about it. That's the way human beings communicate the experience of being human."What makes a good drama?

“Ameri-kaiju” concludes not with a chronological finale but a popular finale: the modern cinematic classic Jurassic Park. Bex from Redeemed Otaku (yes, the real Bex—she was tested!) joins Nate to not talk about Mothra or something girly for once—but it does involve kids! Besides Jesus and Sailor Moon, JP is her favorite thing in the world. What more can be said about the film that hasn't already been said? It's an iconic and revolutionary masterpiece directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the popular Michael Crichton novel. While it's debatable if the dinosaurs in it are “kaiju” (see the infamous Kaiju Weekly episode for more on that), it had a profound impact on world cinema, including the kaiju genre. Obviously, the Toku Topic is the science in the film, which Nate says has been studied extensively by Monster Island scientists. Afterward, with evidence collected, Nate and H.E.A.T. march into the Boardroom and confront Cameron Winter on all his shady dealings on the Island—but first they must get past the Space Beastman…and Winter's contingency plans!     Guest Cast Dani Cruz as Monique Dupre J. “Jack” Hudgens as Cameron Winter Rebecca Hudgens as Elsie Chapman Damon Noyes as Mendel Craven Andres Perez as Randy Hernandez R.

In this epic livestream audio (and rare public MIFV MAX episode), Nathan is joined by his friend, MIFV MAX member Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project) to discuss G-Fest 28. This was the convention's second year at the Hyatt in Rosemont, Illinois—and it's most attended ever with estimates as high as five-thousand! Nathan was on four panels and Daniel six; they met several guests, including Don Frye, Linda Jo Miller, T.J. Storm, and Yumiko Shaku; and they got into all kinds of other shenanigans (“My nipples will be avenged!”).

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! We interrupt our regular episode schedule for a “special report” on the Skull Island “anime” from Netflix and Powerhouse Animation. (Yes, the first “special report” was an experiment and the other a gag, but work with us). Obviously, Nate calls on his animation experts, Drew and Jacob of The Cel Cast, to discuss this, well, train wreck. SPOILER WARNING: It's the worst thing in the MonsterVerse (although, its place in that shared universe is dubious). It has maybe 1.5 good episodes out of eight.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! MIFV MAX members Michael “The Man of Many Nicknames” Hamilton and Daniel “Godzilla Novelization Project” DiManna sponsored this Patreon episode on the semi-obscure ‘80s cartoon Dinosaucers, a comedy-action series about anthropomorphic alien dinosaurs battling each other. Sadly, Nate doesn't find it as cool as that description sounds, much to his guests' chagrin. The nostalgic Michael and ever-positive Danny make valiant defenses of the show—even when it gets culturally insensitive and a bit cringey. But then it has flashes of brilliance like when the characters travel to Japan and get in a pseudo-Godzilla movie and play a workout video from Chuck No-Wrist. You read that right! Episodes covered: “Dinosaur Valley,” “Sleeping Booty,” “The Truth about Dragons,” “Age of Aquariums,” and “Karatesaurus Wrecks.” Beforehand, Nate tries—and fails—to sneak past a Space Beastman to acquire the rare scotch for WHG3 and enlists H.E.A.T.'s super-spy, Monique Dupre, for help. Afterward, he and Jet Jaguar take the scotch to Nessie's Brasserie, where they meet an overeager Bonnie and H.E.A.T.'s techie, Randy Hernandez, and acquire a micro-SD card with evidence against Winter—that requires a password to avoid deleting the data! This episode was edited by Christopher Riner and Nathan Marchand. The prologue and epilogue, “Hijinks,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. Guest Cast Dani Cruz as Monique Dupre Olivia Reed as Bonnie Lass Daniel DiManna as N.I.G.E.L./Jet Jaguar Michael Hamilton as William H. George III Introducing Nelson Abrego as Randy Hernandez (Twitter: @NelsonAbregoVA) Additional music: “Controlled Jazz” by Mustin, Scott Peeples “Dinosaucers Theme” by Haim Saban and Shuki Levi “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo “Bonnie Dundee” by Nesrality “Bonnie Mary Hay” by Newrality “Oh, Charlie Is My Darling” by Nesrality “Contravirt” by Jake Kaufman Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! To celebrate Ray Harryhausen's birthday (and their birthdays), Nate is joined by the “Littlest Gatekeeper,” Elijah Thomas of Kaiju Conversation, to continue their yearly series discussing the filmography of the stop-motion master. Today, it's 1977's Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. (Classic rock and Rocky III references, anyone?) It's the third in the unconnected Sinbad trilogy from Columbia Pictures and stars John Wayne's son, Dr. Quinn, and the Second Doctor (Who). This was Nate and Elijah's first time watching the film. Elijah managed not to fall asleep this time—but that doesn't mean he liked it! We're prepared for angry letters. :P Check Elijah's Linktree for ET13 Productions (https://linktr.ee/ET13_PRODUCTIONS) and the Linktree for Kaiju Conversation (https://linktr.ee/Kaiju_Convers).

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate is joined by a fresh face on the show: gaming journalist and podcaster Alex McCumbers. It makes sense because today's “Ameri-kaiju” film is Rampage (2018) starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which is based on a classic arcade game. While the movie is “almost good,” as Alex puts it, it does embrace some of the wackiness of its origins with wisecracking “Agent Negan” and cartoonish villains. But it never quite replicates the campy yet dark tone of the source material (I mean, c'mon, the evil corporation in the game was called “Scumlabs”). There's some brief talk about CRISPR, which Nate wished he'd researched as the Toku Topic, but he promised Alex it'd be on the history of kaiju video games. Before today's broadcast, Nate reports to Mister Gold, who tells him he is aware of Nate's text messages with Jessica the day she freed the Ymir. Now Mister Gold says he's not sure he can trust Nate. After that harrowing experience, Nate and his merry band of secret rebels go to the last place he ever wants to go to get info from the last person he ever wants to see: the pub Nessie's Brasserie and its proprietor, William H. George III. It's an all-out sass war as soon as they walk in. Check out Alex's website and podcast, Forever Classic Games (https://foreverclassicgames.com/). The prologue and epilogue, “Getting the Messages,” was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand. Guest Cast Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold and William H.

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing an episode we got to be a guest on over on the Monster Island Film Vault earlier this year!  To cover all bases and links, I'ma hit you with the summary from the original episode! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” continues with a bit of an unusual entry; one that, serendipitously, Nate also covered around the same time on his other podcast, The Power Trip: the controversial Power Rangers (2017). While Nate has grown to appreciate this film quite a bit, he intentionally brought on Chris Cooke (co-host of One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade, and Powerbombs and Piledrivers) to discuss it because he does not. However, these two find more common ground than you'd think. That was surprisingly true in today's Toku Topic, which is a discussion of representation in media. This serves as a great companion to the Power Trip episode. Before today's broadcast, Nate entered his office to find sitting in his chair none other than Mr. Gold. After a thinly veiled threat of “termination,” Nate divulges a secret about Jimmy to him. Afterward, the infamous “Not-Goldar” attacks Monster Island out of nowhere—but help arrives in the form of a newly powered-up Karone! But even Nate, Chris, and Jimmy get in on the monster-fighting action thanks to Mechani-Kong Mk. 2. The prologue and epilogue, “With Friends Like You,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. Guest Cast Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold Celeste Mora as Karone Additional music: “Evil Rising” by David Fesliyan “Pacific Rim,” “Power Rangers Lost Galaxy,” and “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Niall Stenson “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The final “Godzilla Redux” episode of season three features three guests! Longtime staples Joe and Joy Metter and first-timer Brendan Morley join Nate to discuss Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (aka Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster). It's Brendan's favorite Godzilla film, so it was only natural he'd be here. Nate enticed Joe and Joy to return by having them watch the “banned” Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode that riffed the film. That means the entire gamut is run because Nate watched it subtitled while Brendan watched the international dub. The Metters, as the resident kaiju newbies, notice and appreciate some things hardcore fans take for granted—including what might be an Easter egg no one else has ever seen! It's an MIFV exclusive, people! Listen to learn what it is! Before the broadcast, Nate meets a new girl who brings him a press release that says Jimmy is in jail, requiring Jet Jaguar to fill in for him on the show. Then Jessica shows up to berate Nate about taking her job. Afterward, Jessica hears from Mimo that Mothra DNA is being stolen by a Bug Lady, so she intercedes as Crystal Lady. But this new foe proves too strong—until she's helped by Whambat! Check out Brendan's YouTube channel: youtube.com/@AutisticLizardProductions. The prologue and epilogue, “Severing Family Ties!

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” continues with a bit of an unusual entry; one that, serendipitously, Nate also covered around the same time on his other podcast, The Power Trip: the controversial Power Rangers (2017). While Nate has grown to appreciate this film quite a bit, he intentionally brought on Chris Cooke (co-host of One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade, and Powerbombs and Piledrivers) to discuss it because he does not. However, these two find more common ground than you'd think. That was surprisingly true in today's Toku Topic, which is a discussion of representation in media. This serves as a great companion to the Power Trip episode. Before today's broadcast, Nate entered his office to find sitting in his chair none other than Mr. Gold. After a thinly veiled threat of “termination,” Nate divulges a secret about Jimmy to him. Afterward, the infamous “Not-Goldar” attacks Monster Island out of nowhere—but help arrives in the form of a newly powered-up Karone! But even Nate, Chris, and Jimmy get in on the monster-fighting action thanks to Mechani-Kong Mk. 2. The prologue and epilogue, “With Friends Like You,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. Guest Cast Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold Celeste Mora as Karone Additional music: “Evil Rising” by David Fesliyan “Pacific Rim,” “Power Rangers Lost Galaxy,” and “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Niall Stenson “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.

Merry Christmas, Kaiju Lovers! And yes, you read that right! Nathan is covering a holiday “monster movie”—because his real sister said so! Yes, Sarah Marchand joins him as a guest host to discuss one of the movies that they've, ironically, bonded over: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey. While it stretches the purview of the podcast thinly, Nathan does justify it with some weak connections (like Rick Baker making the Grinch costume and makeup). While Sarah is quite nostalgic for this movie, having seen it when she was about the same age as Cindy Lou Who, it's a guilty pleasure for Nathan because he has issues with it as an adaptation of a classic Dr. Seuss book and the original 1966 animated TV special. Expect to hear almost the entire film—or at least Jim Carrey's lines—quoted throughout! But Nathan and Sarah do agree that, despite this movie's faults, it's better than the stupid new horror parody, The Mean One.   To hear the uncut version, where Nathan interviews Sarah about playing Jessica Shaw (aka Crystal Lady) on MIFV, join MIFV MAX on Patreon using the link below.

(This episode was largely recorded and written before the tragic news of Jason David Frank's death). Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In what you could call the perfect crossover between their podcasts, MIFV MAX members Drew and Jacob of The Cel Cast sponsor a discussion of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie. It has animated kaiju in it—they're just bad CGI robots. But the real star of this film, like other pop culture blockbusters in 1995, was the villain Ivan Ooze (played by Paul Freeman), who steals every scene and eats all the scenery. If you've heard Nate discuss this on one of his other podcasts, The Power Trip, this will be an expansion on what he said there, particularly on the subject of the hero's journey. Too bad for Nate and his co-hosts, their discussion is interrupted by a certain snarky bonehead. The night before the broadcast, Nate journals about getting voicemails from Karone—an actual Power Ranger—and Raymund—who keeps claiming he was a Ranger. After the broadcast, Nate goes to a special “thank you for your service” meet-and-greet being held in honor of the recently retired Tommy Oliver. But an old foe of Tommy's crashes the party. This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Jason David Frank. The prologue and epilogue, “Return of the Green Rangers,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. “Rito Calls” written by Nathan Marchand. Guest Cast Celeste Mora as Karone Damon Noyes as Raymund Martin and Gary Steward Joey Sourlis as Tommy Oliver Shane Cochran as Ivan Ooze Daniel DiManna as Ninjor Additional music: “Go Go Power Rangers” by The Power Rangers Orchestra “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo “Ivan Ooze” by Graeme Revell “Go Green Ranger Go (Instrumental Redux)” by Ron Wasserman “Susume!

On November 28, 2022, a multitude of podcasters and YouTubers—Nathan Marchand, Michael Hamilton, Travis Alexander, Jack “GMan” Hudgens (The Drift Space), J.R. Villers (The Drift Space), Rebecca Hudgens (The Drift Space), Kaiju Kim, Chris Cooke, and Jimmy from Zeo 2 Hero—came together to celebrate the life and work of Jason David Frank. From acting to martial arts to teaching to motivational speaking, he did it all. But he'll always be remembered as Tommy Oliver, the most popular Power Ranger. He was the face of the brand for years and a hero to his fans. Because he took his own life, your hosts spent this long livestream raising money for To Write Love On Her Arms, “a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Today on “Ameri-kaiju,” we get artsy with the indie film Colossal, starring Anne Hathaway. Robert and Courtney from the Record All Monsters podcast stop by to have a thoughtful discussion on this unique kaiju film where the monsters are psychic projections of the main characters. While it's a comedy, it touches on some heavy subjects, like alcoholism and narcissism. All three hosts share personal stories connected to those subjects. While some commentators have said that the film is about domestic abuse, Nate disagrees. So instead, today's Toku Topic is on the psychology of inner demons because every character in Colossal is wrestling with one. Beforehand, Cameron Winter pays Nate a visit in Nate's prestigious media master office. Winter asks Nate if he knows anything about Jessica helping to free the Ymir—and to maintain his cover, Nate reluctantly says she conspired to do so. Afterward, Nate and Jet Jaguar go to the Heat Seeker and meet H.E.A.T.'s techie, Randy, who sends the robot N.I.G.E.L. to spy on Winter's operations on the Beta Site. There they make a surprise discovery that's more than they bargained for, and now Jet must save them. The prologue and epilogue, “Trespassing,” was written by Nathan Marchand. Guest cast: Jack Hudgens as Cameron Winter Andres Perez as Randy Hernandez Daniel DiManna as N.I.G.E.L.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Godzilla Redux is in full gear with one of Big G's most quintessential films—and Jimmy From NASA's personal favorite, because reasons—Invasion of Astro-Monster (aka Monster Zero and Godzilla vs. Monster Zero). For this occasion, Nate is joined the Dapper Man himself, Kevin Joshua Burnham, who is a YouTuber, the co-host of The Bottom Shelf podcast, and a longtime fan of MIFV. Everyone's favorite angry Irishman dives deep into this film with Nate, discussing its making, its cast, and how it showcases the Japanese's very different sensibilities when it comes to alien invasion stories. Spoiler warning: the Xiliens aren't anti-American symbols. Before the broadcast, Jimmy tells Nate he has something he needs to show in his garage after the show. Afterward, Jimmy shows him the “museum piece” Cameron Winter bribed gifted him with: a Xilien saucer. But the big secret is what—or rather, who—is inside.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Nate has been waiting for this Ameri-kaiju episode for a long time—he gets to discuss one of his favorite films: Pacific Rim! He's joined by the three co-hosts of The Drift Space podcast—returning guests Jack “GMan” Hudgens and J.R. Viller, plus Jack's sister, Rebecca—to gush about how much they love it. Guillermo del Toro's masterful tribute to both tokusatsu and anime is a movie that is unabashedly itself with its archetypal but strong characters, incredible worldbuilding, and mind-blowing special effects. But beneath the beyond-cool chassis beats the heart of a grossly underestimated story of surprising depth. If you don't already love Pacific Rim, Nate and the Drifters will change your mind! Beforehand, Nate discovers data files for an abandoned ad campaign for an unknown kaiju named “Chimera.” After the broadcast, as you undoubtedly heard, a mysterious kaiju attacked the Island but was killed by the Drifters in their Jaeger, Bouncing Betty. Nate's live broadcast of that battle is included here. The prologue and epilogue, “Chimera,” was written by Nathan Marchand.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Today them Jaconetti boys, Luke and Jason, join Nate for the latest entry in “Godzilla Redux”: Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. This was Toho's third kaiju film in the momentous year of 1964 and their second Godzilla film that year. As Luke puts it, it's The Avengers (2012) of Toho kaiju, where several monsters who debuted in solo films come together to face a common alien enemy. It's a momentous turning point for the franchise: Godzilla and Rodan have their “face turns,” and it's the first appearance of Godzilla's archnemesis, the three-headed golden space dragon himself, King Ghidorah. Get ready for a lively, nostalgic discussion riddled with pro-wrestling references! Before the broadcast, Nate is met by Jessica at his new mega-office. During their argument (what'd you expect?), Gary comes in along with a beautiful mystery woman, whom Jessica immediately hates. Later, Nate returns to his office where he argues with Jessica again, only for Gary to come begging for help—just as the mystery woman reveals herself to be a Bug Lady from the Church of Mothrianity! Check out all of Luke and Jason's podcast at Two True Freaks: https://twotruefreaks.com/podcast/. The prologue and epilogue, “Jessica has a Romantic Rival! The Vampiric Strike of Kalyptra!” was written by Nathan Marchand.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” jumps ahead 50 years, but as you'll hear, the (in)famous Cloverfield has a lot in common with the classic 1950s films we've been covering. Nate's longtime friend Nick Hayden drops by to discuss this movie because he's loved it ever since he first experienced it in a theater—and it is an experience. Too much of one for some people, in fact! While it's popular to hate on Cloverfield in the kaiju fandom, it popularized the “found footage” genre and launched J.J. Abrams' studio, Bad Robot Productions. To the shock of some of Nate's friends, he says this is the closest the United States has come to producing a Godzilla (1954). How and why? The Toku Topic helps explain that: the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Before this, Nate meets with Dr. Nick Tatopoulos on the Heat Seeker to discuss recent events. Nate learns Cameron Winter is covering his tracks, so Nate tells Nick he's thinking of taking Mr. Gold's promotion so he can spy on Winter. Afterward, Nate goes to Mr. Gold's office to discuss the offer—only to be interrogated about Jessica's shenanigans with the Ymir's escape on Harryhausen's birthday. Check out Nick's website (http://worksofnick.com/) and his podcast, Derailed Trains of Thought (http://derailedtrainsofthought.com/). The prologue and epilogue, “Claws and Cash,” was written by Nathan Marchand. Guest stars: R. Villers as Nick Tatopoulos Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold Lemonjolly as Ms. Kawaii Additional music: “The Edge Calls Me” by MkVaff “Pacific Rim” by Niall Stenson “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo “This Cowboy's Hat” (instrumental) by Chris LeDoux “When Your Mom Mistakes Captain Falcon for Captain America Again” by Vijay van der Weijden Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.

Hello, kaiju lovers! In this bonus “Ameri-kaiju” episode, Travis Alexander of Kaiju Weekly and Henshin Men finally gets to see the goo—and he's not happy! That's mostly because he's an animal lover and the Blob eats a kitten in the almost-forgotten and incredibly weird 1972 sequel, Beware! The Blob (aka Son of Blob). It's the most bipolar movie Nate has ever seen for the show, and Travis, a lover of movies both weird and bad, found it borderline incomprehensible. Half of it is disjointed improvisational comedy, and the other half is a scary but inferior rehashing of the original 1958 classic. Strap for a discussion of more 30-year-old “teens,” a “hair sculptor,” and a Naked Turk! Additional music: “Pacific Rim” by Niall Stenson “Beware!

Release the crossover! Nate and his friend Elijah “The Littlest Gatekeeper” Thomas start a new annual tradition for their podcasts, The Monster Island Film Vault and Kaiju Conversation, respectively, by discussing a Ray Harryhausen film every year. Why? Because they both share a birthday with the special effects legend. Also, since these two are weird, they're going in reverse filmography order, starting with the original Clash of the Titans. This epic adventure was a relic when it came out, but given Harryhausen's romantic love of the past and love of the classics, it's not surprising. Your hosts dive deep into this film's production—Arnold Schwarzenegger was nearly the lead?!—and discuss the many incredible mythological creatures that appear in it. As Harryhausen's best friend, the author Ray Bradbury, said, Medusa in this film is Harryhausen's “crowning glory.” Just forgive Elijah for being a bit snobby about it. Happy birthday, Ray!

Hello, kaiju lovers! Thanks to Damon Noyes's generous MIFV MAX pledge on Patreon, MIFV is covering its first musical: Little Shop of Horrors (1986)! Nate wanted to cover this as part of Amer-kaiju, but to his disappointment, it didn't make the cut. That's when Damon, who's performed in not one but two stage productions of this, swooped in and got it on the roster. It has a puppet, after all. This story has a complicated history: from several short stories to a low-budget Roger Corman movie in 1960 to a 1982 off-off-Broadway musical to this film, Nate and Damon dive into all of it. You'll hear discussion of Faustian bargains, debates over its two endings, some singing, and even a candid moment where Damon gets emotional about a song in the film. Before the broadcast, Nate was checking his e-mail in the KIJU breakroom when Mr. Gold arrives and says Cameron Winter wants to promote him to “media master.” Nate is reluctant, but he wonders if he can use this to discover what the new boss is hiding. Also, Dr. Douif calls as the Island's kaiju horticulturalist to offer his thoughts on Audrey II. Check out the movies Damon was in! Maxie, directed by Jarrett Bryant, is on the streaming site Vimeo.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Today's episode is AS BIG AS A BATTLESHIP! Damon Noyes visits the Island (after yet another harrowing experience) for “Ameri-kaiju” to discuss 1957's The Giant Claw. This infamous movie stars the ugliest antimatter-powered space bird you've ever seen! “Crazy Bernice,” as she's known on the Island, looks more like Beaky Buzzard than Rodan, despite her movie being similar to the latter's. Nate and Damon spend a surprising amount of time on this wacky movie, poking fun at the Claw marionette, theorizing over the bird's origins, discussing borderline creepy 1950s flirting, and the movie's unofficial sequel novels!

Hello, kaiju lovers! Today's episode is a momentous one. Nate discusses the all-time classic Mothra vs. Godzilla with Daniel DiManna of the Godzilla Novelization Project. Now Nate has come full circle because this was the first film whose episode he recorded first in his previous podcast life. But this episode is better! How could it not be with the living kaiju encyclopedia as a guest? Nate and Danny discuss everything: the Godzilla suit, the Mothra puppet, the script, the characters, and of course, the late great Akira Takarada. This G-film doesn't do anything new, but what it does, it does to near-perfection. No wonder it's considered one of the best of the franchise! Afterward, Nate and Danny are joined by Nate's pseudo-sister, Jessica, to livestream the sendoff of Mothra's newly-laid egg back to Infant Island. Unfortunately, the Church of Mothrianity strikes again! The web-splitting Silkworm attacks, and even Jessica's magical girl persona, Crystal Lady, can't stop her—until she gets help from a new companion. The epilogue, “The Coming of Mimo! Crystal Lady vs. Silkworm!” was written by Nathan Marchand. Special thanks to J.P. Gant for helping to edit this episode! Follow him on Twitter: @Homebrewed_SD (https://tinyurl.com/2jpc36r5).

Hello, kaiju lovers! MIFV's season three theme, Ameri-kaiju, wouldn't be complete without some Ray Harryhausen, so Nate invited both of his “co-hosts in kamen” (ba-dum-tsh!) to discuss 20 Million Miles to Earth. (Yes, Jimmy reminds Nate that he got his chronology wrong, because this film was released in 1957 and The Blob was 1958. Oops!). Harryhausen super-fans Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton, co-hosts of the Kaiju Weekly podcast, join Nate in a chat that veers perilously close to derailing at multiple points. Jet lag will do that to you, especially when flying to the Island in the Rad Bug. Regardless, 20 Million Miles was Harryhausen's first truly iconic film, paving the way for his fantasy epics that followed. The intrepid Jimmy From NASA keeps trying to tell his story about seeing a herd of Ymir on their native Venus, but nobody cares. The Toku Topic is the Soviet side of the Space Race since this film begins with a rocket ship crash and was released several months before the launch of Sputnik I. Be prepared for many (bad) Russian accents! To compete with this broadcast, Cameron Winter did a livestream where he sent one of his Cyber-Flies to track down the Ymir so he could be put on display for the film's anniversary and Harryhausen's birthday in June. Winter rambles about seemingly random things while doing so. Special thanks to J.P. Gant for helping to edit this episode! Follow him on Twitter: @Homebrewed_SD (https://tinyurl.com/2jpc36r5).

Hello, kaiju lovers! Godzilla Redux continues! Nate is joined by YouTuber/author/musician/Navy sailor Alyssa Charpentier (aka AlyssaGojiGeek) for a film from his previous podcast life: King Kong vs. Godzilla. While, yes, Nate discussed a pair of related unmade films with John LeMay, today he and Alyssa compare and contrast the original Japanese version and the re-edited U.S. cut. The latter softens the satirical tone of the original and adds pointless scenes with two boring white guys who use a children's dinosaur book to prove Godzilla is a dumb brute and Kong “is a thinking animal.” This leads to some talk about the subpar Criterion Collection box set—the only way to legally watch the Japanese cut in America—and how the Japanese economic miracle influenced the film. Even Alyssa never learned this stuff in school! Before the broadcast, Nate meets with Mr. Gold and his assistant, Ms. Kawaii. They try to sweet talk him with the gift of hot chocolate and promises of advancement. Nate feigns gratitude and endures accusations of brown-nosing from Jimmy. Afterward, Nate researches late into the night at the Sekizawa Library, where he tries—and fails—to accost the AWOL EDF Mutant Ozaki. Ozaki tells Nate about the shady operations he's been investigating the last few weeks. The prologue, “Secret Business, Part 1” was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Our season three theme, Ameri-kaiju, “creeps and leaps and slides and glides” along when MIFV MAX member Eric Anderson joins Nate to discuss 1958's The Blob. This was Steve McQueen's debut as a 30-year-old teenager dating the future TV wife of Andy Griffith. This classic of 1950s sci-fi cinema was an independent film produced by a studio known for making religious and educational films, which makes it doubly appropriate that the founder of Nerd Chapel (who's also a substitute teacher) is on today's episode. Being an influential indie film is also probably why, believe it or not. it's in the Criterion Collection. The Toku Topic is a phenomenon related to the true story that inspired this kooky film: star jelly. Check out all things Nerd Chapel here: http://nerdchapel.com/.

Hello, kaiju lovers! In our first Patreon-sponsored episode of season three, Nate is joined by his co-host from The Power Trip podcast and frequent guest, Michael Hamilton, for some TV talk. (Although, first they have to resolve longstanding issues from the…“Yeti incident”). In this case, the epic five-part miniseries from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, “Green with Evil.” This introduced toku-loving kids to Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank), the femme fatale Scorpina, and the iconic Dragonzord. But in true MIFV fashion, Nate and Michael have a deeper-than-you-would-expect thematic discussion about this miniseries and how it shows the corruptive nature of evil—and it includes quotations from J.R.R. Tolkien and St. Augustine! Yes, that's the kind of podcast we are. Strap in, folks! It's morphin' time! Beforehand, Nate receives some voicemails from both Karone and Raymund, with the former giving an update on how she's coping with life after freeing herself from the Board's influence, and the latter making excuses for not finding his Gorenger costume. Also, a drunk WHG3 calls into the show to speak with Michael. This episode's prologue, “Letters from Rangers,” was written by Nathan Marchand.

Episode 60: John LeMay vs. ‘THEM!'

Hello, kaiju lovers! We enter the 1950s era of “Ameri-kaiju” to discuss a film that released the same year as the original Godzilla and inspired a subgenre and countless imitators: THEM! (yes, it's in all caps and has an exclamation point). Who better to join Nate on this than the kaiji film scholar from the state in which the film takes place, John LeMay. Thankfully, John and MIFV's intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, have settled their differences so he could be there. While THEM! has the trappings of a B-movie, as Nate and John explain, it has far too good a production values (it was nominated for the best special effects Oscar!) and acting to be reduced to that. The film is genuinely horrifying at points, but what may surprise many modern viewers is it is strangely progressive with its female lead, who is a competent and professional scientist and not a “scream queen.” While Nate considered researching McCarthyism since this is very much a Cold War film, he instead discusses American nuclear tests in the 1940s and 1950s. Before the broadcast, Nate gets an e-mail from Dr. Elsie Chapman, a member of H.E.A.T., after receiving an announcement that the Island's beaches are closed. She says she has something to show Nate. After the broadcast, he meets her, Dr. Mendel Craven, and Monique Dupre on the shoreline and learns the shocking reason why the beaches were closed. Check out John's books and magazines on Amazon!

Hello, kaiju lovers! Our subseries “Godzilla Redux” continues with what some call Toho screenwriter Shinichi Sekizawa's masterpiece: Mothra (1961). Becky “Bex” Smith of the Redeemed Otaku podcast joins Nate to discuss this film—because apparently Nate can't talk about a Mothra film without her. While Bex seems weirdly obsesses over the genus names of insects, Nate regales her with kaiju-sized info bombs related to the making of the film, the historical backdrop against which it was made (controversial treaty renewals with the U.S.), and the often crazy interpretations academics and critics have of the film (blackface, anyone?). That's just some of what you'll learn about this kaiju classic! Beforehand, Nate meets with his pseudo-sister, the semi-secret magical girl Jessica, who's just been promoted to director of tourism on the Island. They discuss her new job and awkwardly talk about her seeming crush on Legal Action Team paralegal, Gary. After the broadcast, though, Nate and company discover “Bex” isn't who she appears to be—and Crystal Lady has to get involved. This episode's prologue and epilogue, “Bexy a Traitor?! The Church of Mothrianity Attacks!”, was written by Nathan Marchand with Becky Smith and Daniel DiManna.

Hello, kaiju lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” continues with three of the original MIFV Tourists—Nick Hayden, Joe Metter, and Joy Metter—returning to the Island to the “spiritual sequel” to King Kong (1933): Mighty Joe Young (1949). This classic features the special effects masters of the generations: Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen. As usual, Nate did way too much research, but its almost overshadowed by the BURNING OPRHANS(!). Nate's guests were blindsided by this film's climax; so much so, they start the discussion with that and move backwards through the movie, Memento-style. The Toku Topic is gorillas in captivity since Mighty Joe himself was a captive gorilla. Before the broadcast, Nate speaks with Jessica about her new job as director of tourism on his way to meet with the Island's new PR director, Darius R. Gold, a big game hunter from Texas. Amidst a metric ton of bravado, Mr. Gold tells Nate to contact Teri Young, the current caretaker for Mighty Joe Young. After the broadcast, Nate finally gets a reply from her—and a suspicious revelation about Cameron Winter. This episode's prologue, “Gold and Gorillas,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton and Daniel DiManna. Guest stars: Sarah Marchand as Jessica Shaw Michael Hamilton as Darius R.

Hello, kaiju lovers! YouTuber and aspiring filmmaker Kaiju Kim returns to Monster Island to discuss a nostalgic monster movie for her: Toho's first kaiju movie in color, Rodan (1956). It may not have Big G in it, but Rodan debuted in this film and later became a staple of Toho's flagship franchise. Amidst funny accents, cancelations (sorry not sorry, Jimmy), and talk of Meganula breakfast cereal, Kim and Nate discuss the film's Japanese communist screenwriter, Takeshi Kimura, the infamous Mantell UFO incident that inspired the film, and the symbolism of the monsters. If ever there was an episode that exemplified our mantra, “Entertainment and enlightenment through tokusatsu,” it's this one. Before the broadcast, Nate visits the Monster Island Legal Action Team office to collect his new contract, and after getting an update from Gary, Raymund Martin bursts in and claims he was a Goranger back in the day. Let's just say there isn't enough salt in the ocean for Nate to take with Raymund's story. This episode's prologue, “Go, Go, Goranger!” was written by Nathan Marchand with Damon Noyes.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! And welcome to season three of The Monster Island Film Vault! We begin 2022 with a brand new series focusing on giant monster films from the U.S.A., “Ameri-kaiju.” To launch this special occasion, Nate is joined by returning guest/YouTuber/author Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins (and his kaiju-muppet-thing sidekick, Snazzy, who butts heads with Nate's sidekick, the intrepid producer Jimmy From NASA) to discuss the prototypical kaiju film, The Lost World (1925).
