The 13th and newest season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 was wise to hire a rising comedic talent who's resume included: Sesame Street workshop training, trumpet playing, being a MadCap Puppet Troupe member, being part of the Atlanta film scene and finally landing a role on the show after reading thru job listings on the Playbill casting calls! Emily K. Marsh has many other hilarious stories and experiences that will also inspire listeners on how any kind of entertainment lifestyle is possible with the right motivation, determination and ability to take any outrageous scenario with a grain of salt (and a ton of amusing grins and fearlessness!).

Hello, kaiju lovers! After calling in a favor at the last second to get a replacement guest, Nate sits down with Kaiju Weekly's Travis Alexander and kaiju author Neil Riebe to discuss one of Gamera's lowest points: Gamera vs. Zigra. Yes, before Jaws, the Friend to All Children battled a giant alien shark who couldn't decide if he wanted to enslave humanity or eat them. Ziggy also has a bad habit of recruiting beautiful ladies as hench-people (your new PC term of the day), but they forget everything they knew before being mind-controlled—like that parading around in nothing but a bikini might not be the most inconspicuous disguise unless you're in an exploitation film for kids. Let's just say, Nate almost loses his mind in this episode. The Toku Topic is Kamogawa Sea World, because this movie is a terrible, overgrown commercial for the resort. Afterward, Nate has to pull some Board-mandated overtime and is contacted in secret by Gary, Raymund Martin's paralegal. Nate thinks he's found a new friend in Gary in his quest to out the Board. Listen to Nate and Travis's spinoff podcast, The Henshin Men Podcast, on Redcircle. Check out Neil's books, I Shall Not Mate and Vistakill. This episode's epilogue, "A Secret Ally," was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton.

Hello, kaiju lovers! We've reached the point where the “Year of Gamera” gets even goofier—and where Nate begins to miss seeing the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes even more. He's joined by returning guest, Earth Destruction Directive host Luke Jaconetti, and newcomer/MSTie Greg Meyer to discuss Gamera vs. Guiron. The “Kennys” get more precocious and useless (Tom is dead inside). The monsters get more outlandish (Guiron is Knifehead, anyone?). And the villains get … shapely jumpsuits? Listen as Nate, Luke, and Greg connect this movie to Chronicles of Narnia and Barbarella, among other things, and muse about their favorite riffs from the MST3K episode. Nate's descent into madness continues. The Toku Topic is the First Traffic War in Japan. It may sound like a forgotten Transformers storyline, but it's actually a time period when car accidents increased dramatically in the Land of the Rising Sun. Hence why Akio is obsessed with making a world “without wars or traffic accidents” in this movie. Beforehand, Nate is visited by Jessica Shaw, his pseudo-sister clone, and she tells him she's bringing Luke and Greg with her first tour group, who will then watch their live broadcast. Then afterward, the infamous Terran spacewomen, Flobella and Barbella, come to Earth to kidnap Gamera—but not if Monster Island's own magical girl superheroine, Crystal Lady (aka Jessica), has anything to say about it!

Hello, kaiju lovers! Nate and his guests, MIFV MAX members Michael Hamilton (co-host of Kaiju Weekly and The Kaiju Groupie) and Damon Noyes, reach the peak of the Showa Gamera series—which isn't as high as Nate wants it to be. (Or does he just want to get high?) Once again as part of the Board-mandated “Year of Gamera,” the Tourists get to watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featuring this film while Nate must view the original Japanese version to compare notes. Even so, Nate riffs his way through the episode so the Stockholm syndrome doesn't set in. Michael sighs almost as much as he talks with all the jokes Nate and Damon drop about “gassy Gyaos nipples” and “plane murder.” You'd almost think Nate was enjoying himself. It's a great act. The Toku Topic for this episode is the Sanrizuka Struggle, which was a movement against the construction of Narita Airport. It inspired a key plot element in this movie and helped Nate prove to Michael and Damon that there was a social commentary in the film. It's also the last social commentary in a Gamera movie for years, so enjoy it while it lasts. Before the broadcast, Nate tries to tell his intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, how he plans to be a small thorn in the Board's side only to be interrupted by Raymund Martin, the head of the Monster Island Legal Action Team, who promptly tells Nate why he can't do that. Raymund Martin was created and voiced by Damon Noyes. Prologue written by Nathan Marchand with Damon Noyes.

With me to suffer through the abyss of heck that is the Hellraiser franchise. Robb and Daniel remark about how many ideas are disappointingly executed (no pun) while new member Tiffany Harding decides to use this material discussed or her stand-up act tomorrow! We dissect (the puns again!) what appeals and what doesn't with this chaotic franchise. Which ones can be enjoyed despite Clive Barker's disowning? Which ones would've worked better as Twilight Zone/X-Files episodes?? And which ones are just flat-out wretched films as a whole??? #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #Hellraiser #CliveBarker #HellboundHeart #DougBradley #Candyman #Nightbreed #SouthernGothic #Horror #Fantasy #SciFi #Franchise #Review #Funny #UnintentionallyAmusing #Awesome #Gore
Hello, kaiju lovers! The Year of Gamera continues. (Yay?) Nate is joined by his friends Joe and Joy Metter to discuss the outlier of the Showa Gamera series, Gamera vs. Barugon. It's the one that was actually aimed at an adult audience—and it flopped. As usual, the Tourists get to see the MST3K episode—which has Nate's favorite line of those episodes—while Nate has to watch the original Japanese version. Even with Joel and the Bots' riffs, Joe and Joy say they would've preferred to watch it subtitled! Thanks to a combination of a “monster mic” and the ORCA, Jimmy was able to get Barugon himself to interrupt a few times, but Nate thinks the ORCA's translations were dubious, at best. The Toku Topic is the New Guinea Campaign because several characters in the film fought during that and the film takes place partly on that island. Beforehand, Nate, Jimmy, and Jet Jaguar are visited by William H. George III, Esquire, the special envoy to the Monster Island Board of Directors (MIBOD). It is he, and not Ms. Perkins, who brings the Board's latest press release for Nate to read on the air. He also makes it abundantly clear the Board didn't appreciate Nate's “shenanigans” at the Gamera: King of the Monsters Banquet a few weeks ago. Read Jimmy's Notes on this episode.

Hello, kaiju lovers! And welcome to MIFV season two! Much to Nate's chagrin, the Board-mandated “Year of Gamera” begins with the “freakishly mediocre” 1965 movie Gamera the Giant Monsters (or Daikaiju Gamera). So saddened by this is Nate that he visits the Monster Island Chapel and speaks with Rev. Mifune, the Island's chaplain. The reverend suggests watching the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes that featured Gamera films so Nate could at least get a good laugh watching them. But when Nate meets up with his friends, first season two Tourists Nick Hayden and Timothy Deal of the Derailed Trains of Thought podcast, they receive a voicemail from the Board's executive assistant, Ms. Perkins, saying the Tourists can watch the MST3K episodes but Nate must watch the original Japanese cuts so they can compare notes. Talk about a buzzkill! The first Toku Topic of 2021 is energy consumption in Japan because Nate read an essay that argues Gamera represents that in this movie. Read Jimmy's Notes on this episode. Featuring the voices of: -Nate Chen as Rev. Mifune –Celeste Mora as Ms. Perkins Prologue and voicemail scripts by Nathan Marchand.

On this episode of the Revival League Podcast, Greg's off doing work for charity, which means Ryan and Robb are in charge. This turns out to be a bad idea. Robb and Ryan spend way too much time dissecting "Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom", somehow even finding a way to connect it to complaints about "Kong: Skull Island." They also chat about Felicia Day's upcoming fundraiser for immigrant families and how MSTies can help.

The podcast gang also discusses the end of the MST3K Watch Out For Snakes Tour and the latest Rifftrax Live/FATHOM event, “The Five Doctors.” Kate ponders that male howler monkeys with deeper, louder yells develop smaller testicles. Ryan feels nothing but seething rage faces for Greg dragging him to see “The Emoji Movie”, quite possibly the worst flick the gang has ever seen, even though Greg heart eyes/winky face/poop/ghost/fried shrimp/eggplants the feature. In the Mini Soda Review, Kate, Ryan and Greg all marvel at the unusual heat and full flavor of MacFuddy’s, “The Distinctively Strong Pepper Elixir.” In A Very Adamant Stance, the gang hops on the TARDIS and travels to Raxacoricofallapatorius to turn a Sonic Screwdriver on Whovians, one of the oldest TV fandoms in the world.

It’s the Pride Special!
