Special Report #4: ‘Godzilla: Minus One’ Trailer Analysis

Published September 6, 2023

In an impromptu livestream, Nate discusses the trailer for the upcoming epic G-film Godzilla: Minus One directed by Takashi Yamazaki. These 90 seconds tell us much and nothing at all, making it prime for questions, theorizing, and speculation. In other words, it’s a darn good trailer. The film releases in Japan Nov. 3 and in the U.S. Dec. 1.

Send us your theories about Minus One to read on a future episode!

Watch the original livestream video on MIFV’s YouTube channel!

This episode is approved by the Monster Island Board of Directors.

BONUS – Remembering Jason David Frank: A Charity Livestream (audio version)

Published December 1, 2022

On November 28, 2022, a multitude of podcasters and YouTubers—Nathan Marchand, Michael Hamilton, Travis Alexander, Jack “GMan” Hudgens (The Drift Space), J.R. Villers (The Drift Space), Rebecca Hudgens (The Drift Space), Kaiju Kim, Chris Cooke, and Jimmy from Zeo 2 Hero—came together to celebrate the life and work of Jason David Frank. From acting to martial arts to teaching to motivational speaking, he did it all. But he’ll always be remembered as Tommy Oliver, the most popular Power Ranger. He was the face of the brand for years and a hero to his fans. Because he took his own life, your hosts spent this long livestream raising money for To Write Love On Her Arms, “a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and invest directly into treatment and recovery.” Their goal is to raise $800, and you can still contribute at the link below.

After a full day of celebrating the King of the Monsters’ 68^th birthday, Nathan is joined by his Power Trip co-host, Michael Hamilton, in an out-of-character livestream. They discuss Fathom Events’ screening of Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, the two Gigan short films that were posted on YouTube (for five minutes), and the myriad of Godzilla-related news that broke Nov. 3, 2022. They spend most of that time speculating about the new Godzilla film directed by the acclaimed Takashi Yamazaki that was officially announced. What do they expect, and what would they like to see, as fans?

Nathan is Interviewed by Kaiju Kim!

Published June 25, 2021

This past Sunday, I was interviewed by Kaiju Kim, who makes the most wholesome kaiju content you’ll see on YouTube. It was Father’s Day, so the chat was relatively quiet, but we still had a good time discussing kaiju literature–including books and short stories I’ve written and published myself. Give it a watch!

Monster Island Gaming | Shadow of the Colossus (PS4) (Part 2…Sorta)

Published January 9, 2021

Here’s the video of my Shadow of the Colossus livestream from last night.

Nate continues from where he left off for his #EXTRALIFE playthrough of Shadow of the Colossus for Theology Gaming Twitch channel. It’d been a long time since he’d played the original PS2 version of the game (this was the PS4 remake), so he didn’t remember much of the game or how to defeat each colossus. He interacts with several listeners and past guests, including Damon Noyes and Ben Avery. Ben’s 10-year-old son rooted for Nate every step of the way.

We’d like to give a shout-out to our Patreon patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of Kaiju Weekly); Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio), and Bex from Redeemed Otaku!

Monster Island Gaming | Override: Mech City Brawl (Part 2)

Published May 5, 2020

I should’ve posted this a while ago.

After taking a month off to pump out some bonus audio episodes, Nathan returns to Override: Mech City Brawl for some more Monster Island Gaming! He picks up where he left off in his arcade playthrough on hard mode. He remembered how to do a special move for Metageckon that he didn’t do all during part 1–he had to be airborne. Apparently, blue T-Rex mechs can’t jump. After some practice, he confronts the weirdly easy final boss on the Moon. The podcast’s intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, was supposed to join him in the live chat, but technology issues prevented his comments from going through, so he settled for texting Nathan while he played. At least he wasn’t gambling on Nathan losing.

It sounds like I still need to adjust my mic settings. Sorry.

Override: Mech City Brawl is a quirky mech-themed arena fighting game from Modus Games. You take control of one of 15 or so mechs to battle kaiju called Xenotypes or against other mechs. The most interest aspect of the game is that up to four players can control one mech at once. It’s the closest you can get to piloting Voltron.

Here’s Part 1: https://youtu.be/DFG1smESKzA. Learn more about the game here: https://overridegame.com/.

Monster Island Gaming | Override: Mech City Brawl (Stream)

Published March 28, 2020

If you missed my stream from last night (or want to see it again), here’s the video. The microphone wasn’t the issue so much as the audio for the game, Override: Mech City Brawl, was a bit too high. Next time I’ll turn it down.

I was surprised that I was joined by my intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, in the live chat (as well as Golden Ticket Tourist Joe Metter). Jimmy started betting pools with Monster Island personel on my performance–and he constantly bet against me! He fleeced everyone because I foolishly decided to play the game on hard mode. ::sigh::

Anyway, here’s the video:
