Jonathan Greenard joins The Power Trip and talks culture and adversity after a disappointing Week 2

Sal and BT dove into the glaring conflict of interest surrounding Tom Brady's dual roles as a broadcaster for FOX and a minority owner of the Raiders. They argued that despite the NFL's claims, the optics of Brady being in the coach's box with a headset are terrible and create an unfair advantage, even if it's a small one. The hosts also criticized Brady's performance as a broadcaster, calling it uninspired and not worth the massive contract he's receiving. Ultimately, they believe the NFL and FOX are making a mistake by allowing Brady to hold both positions, prioritizing his star power over the integrity of the game.

It's Nothin' But A Good Time as Bret Michaels (really!) finally calls into the PowerTrip, and outside of causing a water-damaged chair, was an outstanding guest. And it's an old-school Initials Final.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this, the penultimate episode of the “Monster Island World Tour,” Nate is joined by MIFV staple (and Jessica's "bestie"), Becky “Bex” Smith, but this time, she brings her “husbando,” Encyclo, along! They discuss arguably the best (or at least most iconic) British kaiju film, Gorgo, the last of the 1961 European kaiju movies. Why? To pay off a joke that goes all the way back to episode 18! This is the third Eugene Lourie monster film Nate has discussed on the show, so he may have to bent the podcast's purview to include the fourth and final one. Bex is full of hot takes about the monster suit and special effects, while Nate argues this has the first ever "Kenny" in a kaiju film. That's just a taste of what they discuss! Since this film takes place partly in Ireland and there are tensions between Ireland and England, the Toku Topic is Anglo-Irish relations. “Jimmy's Notes” on this episode COMING SOON! For full show notes, including a bibliography of sources, read this episode's blog post on the MIFV website: https://monsterislandfilmvault.com/index.php/2025/08/13/episode-105-gorgo-vs-bex-vs-encyclo-the-monster-island-world-tour/.  Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

It used to be that there was heavy metal and there was hardcore punk and nary shall the twain meet. That is, until thrash metal started making waves and punk bands decided... hey, wouldn't it be tight to use some of these sounds? Enter: Crossover thrash, the cross-cultural event of punk and metal joining up to create the foundation of modern metal. How did we get here? What became of this once-influential subgenre once everyone incorporated the ideas into other sounds? And what was the deal with Fearless Iranians From Hell? We explore on this episode. Bands featured here include DRI, Cro-Mags, Send More Paramedics, Leeway, Municipal Waste, and Power Trip. Folks… it's a good one. The big streaming platforms have been giving us absolute hell lately so if you would like to hear this episode in it's full, uncensored glory, go over to the TovH Patreon and give us a couple bucks. Otherwise, the episode is free here without all that legally-objectionable copyrighted music. This program is available on Spotify. It is also available on iTunes or whatever they call it now, where you can rate, review, and subscribe. Give us money on Patreon to get exclusive bonus episodes and other cool shit.

In this hilarious episode, Tony goes full commissioner mode and drops some big changes to our fantasy league rules — without asking anyone first.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingIn this episode, Matt Fanslow reflects on the recent passings of two cultural icons—Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan—and draws parallels between their careers and the automotive aftermarket industry. Both figures revolutionized their respective fields (music and professional wrestling) through innovation, perseverance, and an unparalleled connection with their audiences. Matt explores what we can learn from their legacies, including the importance of passion, reinvention, and recognizing opportunities outside our comfort zones.Key Discussion Points1. Ozzy Osbourne: The Accidental Pioneer of Heavy MetalOzzy's final performance at the Power Trip festival, where he performed in immense pain, skipping pain meds to stay present.How Black Sabbath (with guitarist Tony Iommi) accidentally created metal by downtuning guitars after a workplace injury.The importance of appreciating contributions even if you're not a die-hard fan.The value of knowing how you've impacted others (like Ozzy hearing tributes before his passing).2. Hulk Hogan: The Man Who Made Wrestling MainstreamHogan's physical sacrifices (spinal damage from his signature leg drop) and how wrestling is a work but not fake.His ability to connect with audiences in ways no wrestler had before—comparable to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.How Hogan's heel turn (becoming a villain with the NWO) revitalized wrestling during a slump.The role of timing, charisma, and reinvention in long-term success.3. Lessons for the Automotive AftermarketPassion & Perseverance: Like Ozzy and Hogan, success in the aftermarket requires dedication and pushing through challenges.Reinvention: Hogan's shift from hero to villain kept him relevant—how can shops adapt to stay ahead?Breaking Out of Comfort Zones: Both Ozzy and Hogan expanded beyond their core careers (reality TV, movies). How can shops engage in community work, sponsorships, or other visibility-boosting activities?Continuous Improvement: Getting 1% better every day compounds into major growth over time.4. Personal Reflections & Industry ParallelsMatt's admiration for educators like Paul Danner, who revolutionized training accessibility.The importance of finding the right shop culture for growth (just as Hogan thrived under Vince McMahon's WWE expansion).Why awareness of opportunities—both inside and outside the industry—is crucial.Notable Quotes"Ozzy and Hogan didn't just succeed in their fields—they redefined them. That's the kind of impact we should strive for in the aftermarket.""Wrestling isn't fake; it's a performance with real consequences. Same goes for our work—every repair matters.""If you improve by just 0.33% every day, you'll be 100% better in a year. Small steps lead to big changes."While Ozzy and Hogan came from entirely different worlds, their stories remind us that innovation, adaptability, and connection are universal keys to success. Whether you're a technician, shop owner, or industry educator, there's always room to grow—and maybe even revolutionize your corner of the aftermarket.Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! If you're joining us just after G-Fest, welcome! In this abridged episode of our Patreon-exclusive podcast, you'll hear Nathan and executive producer/MIFV MAX “prime” member Damon Noyes discuss (or rather, riff) a “pseudo-remake” (and by that, we mean “second cousin twice removed”) of Reptilicus with the 2009 SyFy movie Reptisaurus. It claims to be based on the Charlton comic, which was a Reptilicus comic for two issues, but the $15 CGI creature looks nothing like it. And there's no alien named Bob. What about Bob?! Instead, we get a cadre of 35-year-old college students, two bumbling soldiers, and Buck Rogers in his living room, er, office. It may look like an Asylum movie and quack like an Asylum movie, but it isn't an Asylum movie, no matter what Grok may tell you. (Yes, Nathan experimented with X's AI assistant to research this and had to fact-check the robot). Strap in, Kaiju Lovers!

Nathan sits down to talk with former model/actress (and now everyone's favorite grandma) Linda Jo Miller, who famously starred alongside Akira Takarada and Rhodes Reason in King Kong Escapes (1967).

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! And Happy Birthday, Ray! Nate and Elijah once again celebrate their birthdays by celebrating Ray Harryhausen's birthday with another deep dive into the stopmotion master's filmography: The Valley of Gwangi. This 1969 dinosaur epic combined the monster movie and western at a time when both genres were past their primes. It failed at the box office, but it has since become a cult classic, and it's no wonder why. Cowboys wrangling dinosaurs, baby! While it aped (pun intended) King Kong (1933), it was Ray's loving tribute to his mentor, Willis O'Brien, who wanted to make this film two decades earlier.

Friends,Today Heather and I look at the war in Iran through the lens of Donald Trump's insatiable need to expand and display his power. How can he even consider getting America into this war without consulting Congress? Doesn't doing so also violate his promise to the American people in the 2024 election that he would avoid foreign entanglements? And who is advising him, now that half of the professionals on the National Security Council have been fired and neither Tulsi Gabbard (who's supposed to be the intelligence czar) nor Pete Hegseth (at least formally the secretary of defense) is involved in Trump's decision-making? We'll get to these and other questions.Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, take our poll, and join the discussion. This is a public episode.

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.
