Hindsight is 20/20, and it shows me this broadcast for Episode 59 was beyond weird and awkward. That’s what happens when your guest is a shapeshifting Bug Lady from a scary Rolisican Mothra cult. Not even my War in Space-attuned combat skills could handle her. That was the worst part. But I don’t want to talk about that. Instead, here are my notes on that episode.
- I retract my compliment about her laying down the law, because, you know, thieving, murderous Bug Lady.
- I should’ve known something was wrong when she talked about getting to the Island. This is why I really should just shuttle every guest here. But I can’t make them all do that, even when I offer a ride on my giant robots.
- “Handsome Nelson.” Another warning sign I should’ve heeded. That guy was a crony capitalist creep!
- “Lepidoptera.” Also a sign. No one outside of an entomologist would know that name.
- The Peanuts’ given names were Hideyo and Tsukiko Ito.
- Yes, I’m triggered by a planet that I fixed…in my totally not fictional memoir.
- I know what was in the red drink…but I don’t want to talk about it.
- Note to self: remind Bex to watch Ikiru.
- (ball-busting riff CENSORED for Nate’s sake)
- I was consulted on the blueprints for Tokyo Tower after the Gyaos attack in 1960. How do you think they learned to rebuild it faster? It’s not just Japanese ingenuity and efficiency.
- “Diptera.” I should’ve known! Again, only entomologists!
- If you saw those astronaut girls, Nate, you’d understand. Seriously, hubba-hubba!
- Why didn’t I suspect something from the laughing?! “Altitude”?! BS! Such BS!
- I’ll agree with “Not-Bex” on one thing: you’re “genki,” Nate. That should be your name now. 😛
- Seriously…“Bex” knew way too much about insects—because Bug Lady! Of course she’d know a lot about her “family.”
Now, to save space on the MIFV website (no one has time to scroll anymore), I’m attaching a PDF of Nate’s leftover notes. Sadly, there are no riffs from me. I’m still trying to catch up on blogging. LINK:
As for upcoming episodes, Nate’s friend Nick Hayden is coming for Ameri-kaiju and Cloverfield. Then we have Luke and Jason Jaconetti joining us for Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster as part of “Godzilla Redux.”
Despite everything that has happened to all of us at MIFV, as I always say, “We shall overcome!”
