Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Watson

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this solo bonus episode, which also features the return of the intrepid Jimmy From NASA to the producer booth, Nate discusses one of the lesser British kaiju movies, The Giant Behemoth (1959). This biblically-titled flick, which was directed by Eugene Lourie (The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Gorgo), while pretty average, was the last film to feature special effects by the legendary Willis O'Brien of King Kong (1933) fame. However, some studio interference changed the story from one about extraterrestrial goo to a more "traditional" monster movie. Behemoth also had a screenplay by a blacklisted writer. Yeah, none of these were on Nate's bingo card, either! Then Nate answers some long-overdue listener feedback.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! This episode marks the final “Godzilla Redux” of season four, and it's a low-key banger! Robert Kelly, who managed to escape capture by the British police after episode 103, returns to discuss his first G-film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), and share what Nate says is the most unique take he's ever heard on this film. Namely, Robert says Godzilla is his friend, because Godzilla's monstrousness is a virtue in the vein of G.K. Chesterton. No kidding! But it isn't the only take they discuss—and some are hotter than Big G's nuclear breath! They get into the so-called “alien apes as Americans allegory,” the history and culture of Okinawa as it relates to this film (which is to that island what Lord of the Rings is to New Zealand), and more! King Caesar's ghost!

Nate follows his suddenly oppressed nose to Uber-Moguera's back room and discovers he has a stowaway--Dr. Dante Dourif! The mad scientist needed a place to stay while he was at a “xeno-botany” conference in London. But before Nate can chew him out too much, Konga, who's kaiju-sized again, is taking his inferiority complex out on Big Ben (unlike in 1961), but even Jet Jaguar's heroics can't halt the big ape's raging rampage. Then Dr. Dourif says he has an idea on how to stop Konga....

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Michael Watson to explore the life of a working musician. We dive into the challenges, influences, and experiences that shape a career in music, from the struggles of touring to the evolution of legendary groups like the Drifters and the Platters.Michael shares vivid stories from his time on the road with the Platters, including unforgettable performances at iconic venues like Niagara Falls and Laughlin, Nevada. He talks about the difficulty of performing while sick, how a small local gig blossomed into a beloved community event, and the constant learning and adapting required to grow as a performer.We also reflect on the deep joy of live performance and the camaraderie that develops among musicians. Michael recounts hilarious onstage mishaps, the importance of shifting musical styles on the fly, and what it's like to play alongside iconic artists. The conversation highlights the shared bond that makes playing music live a rewarding experience.Later, we explore the nuances of vocal technique, natural ability, and the physical demands of performing. We also discuss the dynamics of working in agency bands, the pressures of constant gigging, and how musicians make decisions to protect their health as they age. This is a rich, honest look at the realities of life in music and what keeps us coming back to it.Thank you for listening!

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate and Jet move on to jolly ol' England for the penultimate stop on the Monster Island World Tour, but it's to discuss the sleaziest of the 1961 European kaiju movies: Konga. Thankfully, Nate is joined by the co-hosts of the podcast Record All Monsters (and...fugitives...?), who un-ironically like this movie. While it's a King Kong "knockoff," the studio paid RKO $25,000 for the rights. Not to mention, aside from featuring a giant gorilla (for 15 minutes) who carries humans in his hand, it has almost nothing in common with Kong. But hey, it has Michael Gough (aka Alfred Pennyworth) in it! The Toku Topic, appropriately, is the mad scientist archetype. "Jimmy's Notes" on this episode COMING SOON!

Buncey joins Michael Watson as he walks a mile through the streets of London to raise money for charity. Back in 1991, during his fight with Chris Eubank, Watson was caught by a brutal uppercut and collapsed soon after the bout. He spent 40 days in a coma. Surrounded by friends and family as he made his way up The Mall, Buncey chats to Watson himself, as well as Chris Eubank, who reflects on that fateful night and shares his concerns about his son's upcoming bout with Conor Benn. We also hear from Watson's neurosurgeon, Peter Hamlyn, his lawyer, Michael Toohig, and the many supporters who turned out to walk alongside their friend.

iFL TV's Kugan Cassius speaks to Chris Eubank Sr at Michael Watson's mile walk as he breaks down ahead Eubank Jr vs Benn as he says his son won't listen to him. Get four months EXTRA with our EXCLUSIVE offer with SurfShark by clicking HERE

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! This episode was five years in the making for executive producer Damon Noyes—so he talked for five hours! He's been clamoring for all his favorite podcasts to cover the infamous Danish kaiju movie, Reptilicus (1961/1962), which became something of an icon in spite of itself. But good things come to those who wait, because now Vinegar Syndrome has released a new 4K blu-ray that includes both the American and Danish versions—complete with the notorious “Tilicus” song! Yes, Reptilicus was a pseudo-musical in Denmark! Nate and Damon had so much to get into, including a Toku Topic on biological regeneration, that this now holds the record for longest MIFV episode. This stop on the Monster Island World Tour was so long, your hosts almost missed the rest of a convention for Reptilicus fans in Tivoli Gardens called Repti-Con!

Hello, I'm Michael Watson joined by Robert Stilson and this is the InfluenceWatch Podcast. There's an odd thing about the loud demonstrators protesting Israel in the year and a half since the Hamas attacks on the country in October 2023: They don't like America much either. And now, there's documentary proof to go along with the suppositions derived from protest literature, marchers' signs, and ideological manifestos. Our colleague Ryan Mauro, an expert on political extremism and Middle East policy, has detailed the increase in anti-American and anti-law-enforcement sloganeering by pro-Palestinian groups since the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel.How “Pro-Palestinian” Protest Groups Promote Anti-AmericanismOrganizational ExamplesPrevalence of Charities Among Radical Groups

Hello, Kaiju Lovers…and welcome, Listeners with Attitude! Nate takes advantage of his short time back on the Island to produce a Patreon-sponsored episode requested by first-time MIFV MAX member Andrew Wynja “The Ninja,” who picked the Power Rangers: Time Force VHS “Clash for Control.” So, naturally, Nate couldn't do this without his former Power Trip co-host Michael Hamilton. These episodes feature the first appearance of Wynja's favorite Zord, the amazing mecha-dinosaur Quantasaurus Rex (or Q-Rex), and Nate's Power Ranger “man crush,” Eric Myers, in an epic time travel adventure.

With Jimmy and Kaguya away on their honeymoon on a “lunar safari,” Nate makes a journal entry bemoaning how they have everything going for them and he doesn't.

That wisecracking duo is back--at least on the MIFV podcast feed. The infamous Rito Revolto (or Rito Bandora, depending on who you talk to) and his cohort, some dude named Wade, go over the latest news on Monster Island. Then they take a request for some ultra-good music from Kevin Gomora, owner of The Markalite Lounge. All the while, they drive each other to the point of insanity before letting Nate get back on the air. What else is new? NOTE: Canonically, this takes place after season four and right at the beginning of season five. That will make more sense when season five starts. Starring: Nathan Marchand as Rito and Wade Damon Noyes as Kevin Gomora Written, directed, produced, and edited by Nathan Marchand MUSIC: “Game Over” by Jacob Lizotte “Tenfold True (Instrumental)” by Breaker “Ultraman Rap” (artist unknown) Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! We're celebrating not one but two momentous occasions! First, MIFV has reached triple digits, baby! But more importantly, Jimmy and Kaguya are finally getting married after a whirlwind courtship. All of MIFV's past guest hosts were cordially invited, and you'll get to hear highlights like the couple's vows, Nate's emotional best man speech, and interviews from guests at the reception. However, before Jimmy can get to the chapel, he and his groomsmen have overcome one last hurdle during the bachelor party—a mysterious device that projects the dreams of the (in)famous Ichiro Miki onto the entire Island! The only way to shut it down is to watch the uncut Destroy All Planets (aka the original dubbed version of Gamera vs. Viras). Not only is it one of only two Showa Gamera movies not riffed on Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's the most important chapter of Jimmy's life. Well, before his wedding day, anyway.

In this first episode of a Patreon-exclusive review series for the remaining 31 episodes of Godzilla: The Series not covered on the show, Nate analyzes episodes three and four of the superior Saturday morning cartoon sequel to the infamous 1998 movie. One episode lets him talk about a prolific screenwriter and novelist, Kurt Vonnegut, and artificial intelligence. The second invites comparisons to most Ultraman series and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). That's just a taste of fascinating places Nate goes in his discussion!

Merry Christmas, Kaiju Lovers! While this bonus episode was originally meant to end the season, with the delays in production and its hard deadline, it's coming out before the season is over. In a rare of instance of breaking character, Nathan and his guests, Bex and her husband "Encyclo" from Redeemed Otaku, are all appearing as themselves and not the MIFV versions (although, this is Encyclo's first appearance on MIFV). But since Christmas kaiju media is scarce, they're bending the definition of "kaiju" to discuss a holiday sharksploitation movie: Santa Jaws. If "kaiju" literally means "strange beast," the titular creature here certainly qualifies!

You might wondering, “What's with all the bonus episodes? Where's episode 100?” Nathan addresses those questions in this “state of the podcast” discussion, laying out all the reasons for the delays. Before that, though, he shares an excerpt from a recent episode of the Patreon-exclusive podcast, MIFV MAX (see links below to join our Patreon), wherein he and Matt Walsh (But Not That Matt Walsh) discuss pitches for potential sequels to Godzilla Minus One in light of the news that Takashi Yamazaki is returning to direct (and presumably write) Toho's next Godzilla film.

Happy Godzilla Day, Kaiju Lovers! To celebrate, Nate once again participates in Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins' series “One Monstrous Moment: Year of the Dragon Edition.” In this one, Nate goes full-tilt nostalgic and analytical by selecting his favorite moment in his first G-film, Terror of Mechagodzilla. Specifically, Godzilla's epic entrance. It's more than just payoff and cool factor—it's the coalescence of two decades of his creative teams' sensibilities.

Happy Halloween, Monster Children! Your host Vinnie Kami (and his butler, Kappa Joe) return for another frightful tale of monster mayhem. They try something a bit different this time with an excerpt from a novel—or rather, a novelization. Did you know the world was introduced to the Eighth Wonder, King Kong, in a book three months before the classic film released? Mr. Kami has the Legal Action Team's founder, Raymund Martin, who claims to have received a first edition copy of the book as a gift from a lovelorn secretary (and to have tried to save the book from falling into public domain in the 1960s) read the harrowing chapter where beauty comes face-to-face with the beast. All the while, Kappa Joe demands a raise. Grab your trick-or-treat candy and cozy up to the radio, Kaiju Lovers, for a scary good time!

Seatopia's most dastardly agent, The Togavengleist, is out to destroy the surface world with one strategically-placed bomb in the Hollow Earth network in Oslo. But one man stands in his way—Rex Dart, Codename: Eskimo Spy! Can he stop this religious zealot, or will he need help from his friend, “J.J.”? (I think you know the answer to this).

Legends of Halloween takes a detour into Lovecraft Country with special guest comic book author Michael Watson. Based on the 1927 short story, H.P. Lovecraft's “The Colour Out of Space” follows the aftermath of a mysterious meteorite that crashes on a family farm in the dark woods west of Arkham, Massachusetts. Starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Richard Stanley, the film adaptation was meant to kickstart a shared Lovecraft cinematic universe, but wound up buried at the box office. And here to help with our review of Color Out of Space, we've got the creator and author of the Lovecraftian indie comic, ITHAQA, which expands the map of Lovecraft Country to include the Roaring ‘20s in Ithaca, New York. Stick around after our review to learn more about ITHAQA and find out how you can become a part of the cosmic horror!   Find out more about ITHAQA at https://www.ithaqacomic.com/ and subscribe to get free digital copies of the first two issues!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In the zaniest (and funniest) MIFV episode yet, Nate is joined by the QUEEN OF THE FABULOUS EMPIRE, Kaiju Kim, and executive producer Damon Noyes to discuss the most notorious G-film ever: Godzilla vs. Megalon. Thanks to an aggressive ad campaign by Cinema Shares, constant play on TV (including a primetime slot hosted by John Belushi), and an endless amount of pseudo-legal home media releases (one of which got the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys in trouble), this is the most seen G-film in the franchise. For many, this is their definition of Godzilla or their introduction to him—for better or worse. After Nate and company—including Jet Jaguar, who is filling in for Jimmy From NASA as Jimmy makes final prep for his wedding—finish what few “big brain topics” there are for this movie, they cut loose, cracking jokes and nerd-ing out for hours. Strap in, folks!

Jimmy puts his foot down and refuses to let Nate join him on Uber-Moguera to recapture Bill the Jotnar. Disappointed, Nate wanders around a local Norwegian church, venting months and months' worth of pent up frustrations. But even when Jimmy manages to subdue Bill in the distance, Nate can't help but make things a little harder for his intrepid producer.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The Monster Island World Tour moves into Europe with a stop in Oslo, Norway, to discuss the 2010 found footage kaiju film, Trollhunter (not to be confused with Netflix's Troll from 2022—we already covered that). Nate is joined by his college chum, the founder of Nerd Chapel, Eric Anderson, to dive into a movie that says Christians need not apply to be Norway's hunter of trolls (and we don't mean the internet variety). That's just one of the many aspects of this unique film that these two Christian nerds get into. Prepare yourself for a heaping dose of theology and folklore! For the Toku Topic, Nate delves into the “monster masts” controversy surrounding the construction of electrical lines in rural Norway, which helped inspire the film. Listen to our coverage of Netflix's Troll (2022) for more info on Norwegian troll folklore! LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mifv-max-14-troll.

Filling in for this week for Andrew, Michael Watson brings us a bonus message from the sermon series "Life Stories"

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Yes, Nate misremembered when the bonus episode on The Barbados Project was supposed to happen. But the good news is you got it sooner! Anyway, this low-budget found footage kaiju horror film is great warm-up to the next mainline episode on Trollhunter. It can be viewed (again) on Tubi, but it originally played the film festival circuit and on the obscure streaming service POV Horror. It's a rare film produced in the island nation of Barbados, let alone a kaiju film. But there are reasons it's flown under the kaiju fandom's radar and the Island houses none of the creatures in it. Why? Listen to find out! For full shownotes, including a bibliography of sources, read this episode's blog on the MIFV website: https://monsterislandfilmvault.com/index.php/2024/09/23/bonus-episode-18-the-barbados-project-monster-island-world-tour/.  Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

With the podcast's longest episode ever finally over, Nate catches up on news about the goings-on back on Monster Island by checking his e-mail. He has messages from the Legal Action Team and Ricky--and, unfortunately, Jessica. Then Jimmy calls Nate to meet him on Uber-Moguera's shoulder, and things don't go how Nate expects.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In the longest MIFV episode ever (of all time), Nate is joined by Daniel DiManna of the Godzilla Novelization Project (no surprise why it's long) to discuss the most underestimated of G-films: Godzilla vs. Gigan (aka Godzilla on Monster Island). They discuss every possible aspect of this film, from its under-funded production to its quirky yet iconic dub and everything in between—and we do mean everything. But the most surprising part of this epic episode is Nate and Danny's discussion of the historical context in which it was made—a time of market penetration by foreign corporations and the explosion of the popularity of theme parks—the fascinating unmade drafts of its script written by both Shinichi Sekizawa and Takeshi Kimura, and the brilliant meta commentary it makes on Godzilla as a pop culture icon. “There's something funny going on” in today's episode of MIFV! Here's the Sekizawa and Kimura panel Danny and I hosted at G-Fest 2019: https://youtu.be/D3fROnC-Sso?si=SJjlQ5kie_XYuDRA.
