We’re fixing to leave South Korea. I’m going to miss this country. The food is great. The people are nice. And it’s where I proposed to my wonderful fiancée! As tumultuous as its history has been since WWII, it’s really come a long way. Hopefully, its kaiju culture will be continue to be centered on its own monsters and not fake ones. Episode 92 (The Host vs. the Omni Viewer) is our last main episode in South Korea, so here are my notes on it.
- Nate secretly wants to start a toku politics show. He’s determined to prove to the Daily Wire hosts—especially the other Matt Walsh—that nerd culture is legitimate and not populated entirely by smelly weirdos with no social skills. That’s just 90 percent.
- The better question is, who is the Batman and who is the Robin between us, Nate? We all know that answer…Robbie. 😛
- It’s a good leader who knows how to delegate. Plus, I’m friends with Sir Lex. We hang out on the same steampunk enthusiast message boards.
- Not that damaged? Did you forget what that fat spider and Yongary did to Uber-Moguera?!
- At least Lex understands my delicate jerry-rigging. That’s more than I can say for the mechanics back on the Island.
- I got on that meme:
- Marchand was referring to My Stepmother is an Alien (1988). It was rated PG-13 and starred Dan Aykroyd, Kim Basinger, and Jon Lovitz. Fun fact: a South Korean Baskin-Robbins named an ice cream flavor after this movie, “Mom is an Alien.”
- I got caught by the Trope once. I don’t want to talk about it. He’s a weirdo.
- For the record, I’d never sell Nate out…or would I?
- The species of fish that eats off of sharks’ skin is the remora.
- You survive a war (in space) and see if you don’t have ‘Nam, er, Venus flashbacks!
- And I do tie half my brain behind my back to make it fair…metaphorically speaking. It’d require too much surgery too often, otherwise.
- I got a text from Jessica, and she says she’s not going anywhere near Rita’s wand! “The last thing I need is a giant Baka!” she said.
- I’m pretty sure Nate has given population of Seoul before, but it’s estimated as of 2024 to be 10,004,840.
- You can’t be a fan when you’re a producer? That’s certainly true in Hollywood.
- Let’s not talk about the Mighty Peking Man. It’s still a sore spot for Kaguya.
Up next, we have a huge panel discussion of Godzilla vs. Hedorah (aka Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster) for “Godzilla Redux” with Ben Avery, Daniel DiManna (again), and Matt and Gratton of Giant Monster BS. Who’d have thought this weirdo film would be this popular! Then we wrap up our South Korean coverage with a solo bonus episode on War of the God Monsters (aka The Flying Monster). Then, as Nate nervously mentioned, we go north to catch Pulgasari with Tomi Trembath of Giant-Sized Violence and Transcending Comics. Good thing Sir Lex put my robot back together properly.
Until next time, remember…we shall overcome!
