This engaging conversation highlights the ongoing need for nonprofits to embrace continuous learning in the ever-changing digital marketing landscape.

It's a surprise YHS on Monster Island drop - and a very special presentation, at that! "Everyone's Favorite Kaiju Collector" Ryan Wilhelm joins Jay Key as they review Hideaki Anno's SHIN KAMEN RIDER! Does it deliver a compelling cinematic experience and respectfully pay homage to the source material...or is it a fan service-laden train wreck that destroys the legacy of everyone's favorite grasshopper hero? And where does this entry rank in the Shin Japan Heroes Universe? Besides the analysis of Shin Kamen Rider, special guest Ryan Wilhelm shows off his recent toy pickups, discuss what it's like to be a kaiju fan right now, and much, much more! Enjoy this bonus episode of YHS on Monster Island!
Happy Thanksgiving! What a time to be a kaiju fan? Not only do we get a show on Apple TV+ featuring A-listers like Kurt Russell and John Goodman, we also live in a world where companies like U.S. Toys, Marusan, One Up, and many more are releasing amazing sofubi and collectibles on a near weekly basis! In this installment of YHS on Monster Island, Jacob Walsh and Jay Key talk give their thoughts on the first three episodes of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and if the more grounded approach that we saw in Godzilla (2014) is effective after so many of the subsequent issues went in a different direction? Which of the timelines has been most compelling? And what about those new kaiju? However, beyond the media, fans in Japan are getting ready for Tsuburaya Con 2023 at the Tokyo Dome this weekend - and all of the heavy hitters in the world of vinyl toys and other kaiju goodies will be there. Jay showcases some of the most anticipated drops from the world of ultra kaiju! And we have pick ups- oh, do we have pick ups?!?! From vintage Popy to gigantic Spiral Studios statues to Marmit Parababy purchases, the hosts highlight some heavy hitting sofubi! Also, has Jake seen Shin Kamen Rider yet?
After a long slumber, Gamera is back in the all-new Netflix anime series, GAMERA: REBIRTH. Our beloved hosts, Jacob Walsh and Jay Key, break down the series and grade some of the major components of the show - visuals/animation, kaiju design, characters, etc. It's more art than science - but the big question is: did they like it? In addition to Rebirth, Jake and Jay both weigh in on the trailers for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and (a bit belated) Godzilla: Minus One. Also, they highlight some recent and upcoming toy drops from Anraku Ansaku, Marusan, and X-Plus. And it wouldn't be a YHS on Monster Island without some kaiju toy pick-ups - this time including a few botantical beasties, a small Spectreman surprise, and wave one from Super7. Have fun on the island!

In this episode of YHS on Monster Island, "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and Toku Toy Town's Jay Key provide insight and commentary on the kaiju happenings at San Diego Comic-Con and Wonder Festival 2023 Summer, plus provide their thoughts on the Godzilla: Minus One teaser.

It's a can't miss episode!
Toho's "A" Team. Check. Two bonafide stars of film and television. Check. Trampolines. Super check. On paper, everything looks (blood) rock solid for 1969's US-Japan co-production of LATITUDE ZERO - but, it was definitely a paper tiger (errr...gryphon?)...because it was one of the studio's biggest flops. Our YHS on Monster Island hosts, "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and "The Mayor of Toku Toy Town" Jay Key, share their thoughts on this unique entry from Toho's cinematic roster - and why it may not be remembered in the same manner as other tokusatsu films. Everything from Joseph Cotten's multiple costume changes to "The Joker" and his "Batmen" to the (in)famous gryphon kaiju that is, well, it's something - nothing is off limits for our duo of daikiaju devotees. But wait! That's not all! The tandem also discusses a ton of toy news from Mondo and Max Toy Co. (among others), their own weekly pick-ups which include some great Godzilland finds and Jay's return to X-Plus, and Jake's recent viewing of The Black Demon (2023). It's always a fun trip to YHS on Monster Island - your home for kaiju films, fandom, television, and toys!

What if the “Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu” Jacob Walsh was the head honcho at Toho Studios and was tasked with bringing back the most insane and outlandish cancelled Godzilla film concepts…what would he do? You don't have to ask “what if” because, in this episode of YHS on Monster Island, Jacob does just that! Co-host, Jay Key, forces Jake to turn five of the episodes into a feature film, anime series, comic/manga, YouTube series, and short film – in the first (and only) ever game of M.A.C.Y.S.! From ghost Godzillas to mermaid families to the greatest villain of all – diabetes, the duo go through some of the wackiest plots that almost made it to the silver screen. Buckle up, it's going to get weird! In addition, the hosts review the most recent Mondo drop, the big news from Spiral Studio, and preview the 2023 Toy Anxiety Geoffrey Awards, where they will be present kaiju toy/collectible and toy line of the year!

With the "Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh at NYCC this week, there won't be a traditional YHS on Monster Island show...however, Jay Key has continued his rankings of Ultra series episodes; this time, tackling Ultraseven! What episodes of Dan Moroboshi and the Ultra Guard will crack the Top 10? Which episodes will be left out? Can famed ultra seijin and kaiju like Eleking, King Joe, Dinosaur Tank, and Metron make the cut? Remember, this list is for starting debates...not ending them! Enjoy...and check out YHS on Monster Island!
The intrepid duo of daikaiju devotees, Jacob Walsh and Jay Key, return with another episode of YHS on Monster Island. In this release, Jay gives Jake a litany of possible antagonists for the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong 2 - and the "Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" tells us why they would or wouldn't make sense. Let's hope Legendary is listening! In addition, the tandem review the 2009 short, Geharha, the Dark and Long-haired Monster, and go over recent kaiju toy news and weekly pick-ups! Enjoy!

The conversation covers everything from the Rhedosaurus' claim as the "first kaiju", the timely usage of Ra Bradbury's "The Fog Horn", the film's importance in the kaiju genre, as well as a handful of tangents ranging from Bradbury's " A Sound of Thunder" to the charming nature of outdated dinosaur paleobiology. On top of that, Jake and Jay go through some recent news such as Disney+'s Kong series announcement, Marusan's Soft Vinyl Summer Festa exclusives, and much more! We also get some top flight weekly pick ups from Marmit, M1, SHMonsterArts, just to name a few! Check out YHS on Monster Island...and please like and subscribe! It means alot!

It's not fair that Godzilla vs. Gigan gets ALL of the 50th anniversary love! There was another little Toho project that came out in 1972 - a co-production with Tsuburaya - that deserves some respect: Daigoro vs. Goliath! Okay, maybe deserving respect might be too much for this film - but hey, it...uh...exists. And "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and his co-conspirator, Jay Key, are here to discuss this oft forgotten kaiju gem. From monster-sized toilets to excessive alcohol consumption to domestic violence, it has everything one expects in a kids' movie! However, the most compelling thing about Daigoro vs. Goliath is what it COULD have been! In addition to the film, Jake and Jay discuss Kurt Russell in the Monsterverse, weekly pick-ups, Shin Ultraman's international release news, and some new reveals by Marusan for the Godzilla Store.

Following up on their review of Frankenstein Conquers the World, your favorite kaiju hosts return to discuss its kinda, sorta, quasi-, pseudo-spiritual sequel - The War of the Gargantuas. It's a rip-roarin' rampage through this rubber-suited monster flick - a journey that leads you to maser cannons, tons of atmospheric lighting, a songstress that hasn't quite perfected her craft, Brad Pitt's origin story, and lots of Russ Tamblyn. On top of the film conversation, Jake and Jay highlight some of the biggest and best toy reveals from Super Festival Extra Volume 2 and go through Jay's army-building weekly pick-ups! The words definitely did not get stuck in our hosts' throats… Twitter: @YHSMonsterPod Instagram: Jacob Walsh - @jacobzilla / Jay Key - @tokutoytown
Frankenstein Conquers the World! But does he really? On this episode of YHS on Monster Island, “The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu” Jacob Walsh and Jay Key take a swing at the 1965 Toho release, Frankenstein Conquers the World. It has all of the makings of a golden era classic – Honda directing, Tsuburaya doing his thang, an Ifukube score, and cast chock full o' regulars like Kumi Mizuno, Yoshia Tsuchiya, Tadao Takashima, and Takashi Shimura, and even good ol' Nick Adams drops in to lead the way! On top of that, you have an alternative ending that makes absolutely no sense! But does all that, mixed with an original interpretation of the Frankenstein story lead to a top tier film?

This episode of YHS on Monster Island is brought to you by the letter "X". "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and his sidekick, Jay Key, tackle not one - but two- kaiju flicks from Shochiku: 1967's The X from Outer Space and 2008's follow-up, Monster X Strikes Back: Attack the G8 Summit. If you aren't already familiar with these films - hold on tight - because they offer a little bit of everything, from truly original kaiju design to moon dancing to famous cameos to Kim Jong-Il. Most notably, it demonstrates two very unique ways that kaiju can stop deadly missiles. So grab a cocktail, check for any Guilalanium, put on your headphones (make sure they aren't the brainwashing kind), and start chanting "Neci-Coma" - because YHS on Monster Island is taking you to GuiLALA-Land! In addition to reviewing these two movies, Jake and Jay discuss some big news items such as Apple TV+'s upcoming Monsterverse series, a new Marusan 350 BioGoji, and SH Monster Arts' Singular Point Rodan! Oh, and is there a new Guilala toy? Now that's timing. And don't forget weekly pick-ups!
On this episode of YHS on Monster Island, the boss is away…and when “The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu” Jacob Walsh is gone, Jay Key assembled a dream team of Kaiju All-Stars to discuss why they love this fascinating sub-genre of collecting – sofubi! Joining Jay is the founder of the Hedorah Fanatics Club and collecting legend, Andy Peters; owner of Monster Lou's Clothing and kaiju Instagrammer, Lou Munster; Ryan Wilhelm of Dallas Vintage Toys; and Michael Hamilton of Kaiju Weekly podcast and Kaiju Ramen Magazine. The crew talks how they got into sofubi, how they manage and display their collections, and can a sofubi addiction co-exist with the more realistic X-Plus type figures? They show off and discuss their favorite pieces, chase pieces and so much more! **Please note that Jay has to leave after the first twenty minutes so you get a really cool, non-moderated discussion with four of the best collecting minds in the sofubi space!

If you want to listen to "The Tattooed Titan of Tokasatsu" Jacob Walsh act as a truth-telling troubadour trumpeting the trial and tribulations of Tri-Star...this is your episode...and YHS on Monster Island is your podcast. Mr. Walsh and his spunky sidekick, Jay Key, tackle the most maligned Godzilla film in the series - Godzilla (1998). More so than any other movie in the franchise save Godzilla vs. Hedorah, the "what ifs" and lore surrounding the production have become bigger than the film itself. Our hosts discuss those very aspects of this bloated and misguided flick along with everything from the seemingly unlimited merchandise to the lack of emotional connection to the characters (or, at least, the emotional connection that was intended by the filmmakers) to the radical design of the King of the Marine Iguanas. An interesting question is raised - if you applaud the new and unique approaches to Godzilla such as Shin Godzilla, Godzilla Earth, and Godzilla Ultima, can you not give credit to the Tri-Star interpretation for being, quite possibly, the furthest from the original concept? All of this, plus Jay and Jake share their most recent toy purchases including the X-Plus Gigantic Godzilla 1954, a 2003 Marmit Varan, and...did Jay really buy Yamato Takeru figures?

What happens when "The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu" Jacob Walsh and co-host Jay Key recommend films to each other that the other one hasn't seen before? You get the first ever Great Kaiju Cinema Swap! Four movies. Four very different movies. Spanning nearly four decades of cinema, our beloved hosts dive deep into a quartet of kaiju and kaiju-adjacent flicks ranging from a zany 1970 "giant monsters fight on a tropical island" film that could be the final nail in the coffin of the golden era of kaiju eiga; to a 1994 epic fantasy steeped in Japanese folklore but somehow manages to weave in were-wizards with laser beam eyes, lightsabers, and a final confrontation between an eight-headed King Ghidorah and a Megazord; to a 2006 Korean critical masterpiece that tackles multiple themes brilliantly under the guise of a dark absurdist satire; to an American entry from 2008 that broke all previous molds of successful viral marketing and solidified the term "found footage" into the moviegoing lexicon. We give you: Space Amoeba, Yamato Takeru, The Host, and Cloverfield. Did they love them? Did they hate them? Are they still doing the podcast after subjecting each other to these films?

It's the dawn of the disco era and the Godzilla franchise decides to change direction and leave behind the golden era of Toho with a psychedelic avant-garde film that's equal parts environmentally-charged horror flick and Saturday morning superhero kids show. It's a story of unproduced sequels, appendectomies, and a brash director that dared to make Godzilla fly. It's 1971's Godzilla vs. Hedorah! On top of that, “The Tattooed Titan of Tokusatsu” Jacob Walsh, and his alliteration-loving sidekick, Jay Key, talk Matango, Atragon, recent kaiju collectible news, and our latest toy and sofubi pick-ups! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to Yes Have Some on YouTube - http://shorturl.at/djD09 Follow YHS on Social Media - * http://www.instagram.com/yhspodcast... * https://www.facebook.com/groups/YHSGr... * http://www.twitter.com/yhspodcast Want to Send us something?

Suggested to us by Jay Key, author of The Adventures of Duke LaGrange. Ben and Nate check out a new shared-universe short-story anthology. Beyond the Galaxy imagines a world where, in the year 2020, aliens came to Earth and harvested most of humanity to use as spaceship fuel. You know what? For all I know, that may have actually happened. I haven't left my house in 16 months. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/WABPod)

Today we examine Jay Key, Star Wheel Books, and the paths one may take to publication. Join Ben as he attempts to explain concepts such self publishing, independent publishing, and how they're not the same thing to an increasingly distracted and unfocused Nate who can't help but bring up our short story every chance he can possibly get. Don't forget to check out our twitter @WABPod and our blog http://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/ and let us know what you think of this new format.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/WABPod)
Unfunny jokes. Bickering. An unlikeable protagonist that you're supposed to love. Welcome to the flawed logic and page skimming universe of Duke LaGrange! Nate and Ben tackle an indie comedy book in today's episode. How to Pick Up Women with a Drunk Space Ninja: The Adventures of Duke LaGrange Book 1. Or HtPUWwaDSNTAoDLB1 for short. Was that a funny joke? I didn't think so either. Now imagine having to read 300+ pages of jokes at that level. Just remember that a flawed book is an opportunity for learning and prime discussion.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/WABPod)
