The Kaiju Krypt Presents ‘The Fog Horn’ by Ray Bradbury (Read by the Old Janitor)

Published October 31, 2023

Happy Halloween, Kaiju Lovers! The Kaiju Krypt returns—but not Kenny Kappa! No, due to some…impropriety, he has been replaced by a new host, Vinnie Kami. (However, Kenny’s cousin, Kappa Joe, is Vinnie’s butler). Mr. Kami is sure to bring some much-needed dignity back to the Krypt, especially since today’s story is modern literature: “The Fog Horn” by Ray Bradbury. It only inspired The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, which inspired Godzilla (1954), which inspired the entire kaiju genre! To say it’s a milestone would be an understatement. Unfortunately, a new reader had to be found for the story at the last second—and it fell to the overworked Old Janitor! So, gather around the campfire in your new costume with your favorite candy and enjoy some literary scares.

Guest Cast

  • Kim Lacanilao as Amy
  • Damon Noyes as Vinnie Kami
  • Daniel DiManna as Kappa Joe and the Old Janitor

Host segments written by Nathan Marchand

Additional music:

Jimmy’s Notes on Episode 78: ‘Godzilla vs. Biollante’ | Godzilla Redux | Ft. Kaiju Kim and Daniel DiManna

Published August 18, 2023

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! (If Nate can do it, so can I!) The paper with my notes on this impromptu episode on Godzilla vs. Biollante are longer than my arm. Even the calculations I made on the Gohten’s engine thrust weren’t this extensive! (Maybe…). Before we get into it, Nate referenced that I had a “new mic” but switched to my “old mic.” I was feeling nostalgic that day. When season four starts, you’ll understand what he was talking about. Anyway, let’s get into my notes.

  • We really need to copyright your catchphrases, Nate. I’m hearing your friends steal them on other shows. Especially Michael and Elijah. You should talk to Raymund about suing them. 😛
  • I hate time travel. Must you joke about it? Of course you must. It’s part of our shtick. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE GEEKY WRATH OF JIMMY!
  • PTSD flashbacks are the worst. I’ve gotten better, but they still happen sometimes. I can help you, Danny Boy.
  • My theory is the snake on Mondo Island was once a stick. Let me explain. So, there was this guy named Heston from Fort Wayne who chopped down and tree on Mondo Island to demand that a certain emperor let his enslaved people go. To scare the tyrant, he used his magic or divine power or alchemy or whatever to transform it into a huge snake. (I can’t vouch for the truth of this story, for once).
  • The film musical of Little Shop of Horrors was released in 1986. Nate was correct.
  • “Little Shop of Whores” is the Rule 34 version. (Don’t ask me how I know that).
  • The Heisei era began with the ascension of Emperor Akihito January 8, 1989.
  • You complain about Skull Island and Cleopatra’s Shin Ultraman blu-ray, I decry time travel. We all have our pet peeves.
  • That guess for “space is warped” was right, and you know it! Admit it, Marchand!
  • I know how Kevin Bacon fits into this conspiracy…but I can’t tell you without divulging dangerous secrets.
  • Nate had the spelling of that Ultra Kaiju’s name right the first time: https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Leogon
  • The current exchange rate for 3 million yen is in fact $20,572.89, Danny. #wellactually
  • “Nazi-zilla,” you say?
  • I looked at your notes, Nate, and it a handkerchief, not a piece of paper, those reporters found in that first draft.
  • I got an e-mail from Nick during the broadcast. He was impressed that you found a new joke for his last name. Also, he’s going to find the rat-fish and bring it to the Island.
  • Godzilla almost ate a cow on film, Danny, in the first draft of Godzilla (1954). You should know this.
  • Deutalios don’t taste like chicken…I had some once. It was necessary for survival.
  • Now Nate understands my frustration with LeMay. #factcheck
  • I got an angry text from Jessica after you said that, Nate. She wants you to ACKNOWLEDGE HER!
  • Nate’s brain is a tangled mess of kitchen sinks. You should see his research notes. (Oh, wait. You do. 😛 ).
  • Miki and the Phoenix Force…that’s a crossover.
  • Retrograde: word of the day.
  • And…I got another angry text from Jessica about the glitter comment. She’s going to kill you in your sleep when you get back from the “world tour,” Nate.
  • #CanWeUseThat
  • The world isn’t ready for a She-Zilla. It should probably stay in fanfiction for now.
  • Godzilla in Sayonara Jupiter? Nope!
  • #TanakaSaidNo
  • #OmorisTears
  • So, you want necromancy technology? And preferably not from Dr. Dourif? I know a guy…but I don’t want to talk about it.
  • I sit there and pretend to listen to Nate all the time.
  • El Santo vs. Ultraman? I was in that unmade film. It was part of a legal loophole to get Ultraman into Mexico before the Chaiyo lawsuit was resolved. Sadly, El Santo died before it could be made.
  • A kaiju dentist? I heard the Board has already started a job search. Let’s hope Orin Scrivello doesn’t apply. 😛
  • The Markalite Lounge is starting Kaiju Karaoke next week. It was already popular at Nessie’s Brasserie. Jessica is the reigning champ. But everyone knows that because she sang on the air once.
  • I’m always the only hope. Ask Nate. I’ve saved his hide how many times now?
  • It was over ten years ago the blu-ray was released, Danny! 2012!
  • I say, “Amen,” every time we finish a broadcast. And I’m not even religious!
  • I’ll use “kiss you guys” as a new catchphrase. But does it have a comma? That’s the age-old question.
  • Canceled by Kaiju Kim. My life is now complete.
  • Gene Simmons Godzilla?! Yipes!
  • The Super X2 is my favorite character in this film. For obvious reasons.
  • I always win the debate with “I don’t want to talk about it.”
  • MY MOTHER IS DEAD, YOU GUYS!
  • Again, this is why I hate time travel.
  • I was never in a parallel dimension! How dare you question my wild story of survival from the infamous War in Space! Even though I’ll never tell!

But it wasn’t just my notes that were extensive—look at Nate’s! This might be his personal record! To quote him, “Good Godzilla!”

Godzilla-vs.-BiollanteDownload

It’s time I wrap this up. Nate and I will feverishly complete postproduction on the remainder of season three (“Ameri-kaiju”), which will be Jurassic Park (featuring Bex from Redeemed Otaku) and The Asylum’s Monster Island, which featured none other than the Island’s resident legal eagle, Raymunf Martin! Stay tuned!

Episode 78: ‘Godzilla vs. Biollante’ | Godzilla Redux | Ft. Kaiju Kim and Daniel DiManna

Published August 11, 2023

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this impromptu but timely “Godzilla Redux” episode that’s technically from the future of the MIFV timeline, Nate sits down and discusses the first true Heisei G-film, Godzilla vs. Biollante, with YouTuber Kaiju Kim and GNP creator/author Daniel DiManna. Why did he move it up and feature them as guests? So they could promote the Kickstarter for their animated tie-in fanfilm! Enjoy this spirited conversation and the best SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION you ever heard on MIFV! In the meantime, you’ll hear about what some fans call the “most poetic” film in the Godzilla franchise; how it was written by a dentist who recycled a script he wrote for Return of Ultraman; how it was the first G-film for writer-director Kazuki Omori and special effects director Koichi Kawakita; how it was affected by both King Kong Lives and Little Shop of Horrors; and how it was the subject of a lawsuit between Toho and Miramax. But all of that is nothing compared to the many crazy unmade scripts to which producer Tomoyuki Tanaka said, “No” (Miki was a cloned sister?! Nate knows that struggle!)

MIFV MAX #22: G-Fest XXVIII (2023) | Ft. Daniel DiManna

Published July 26, 2023

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this epic livestream audio (and rare public MIFV MAX episode), Nathan is joined by his friend, MIFV MAX member Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project) to discuss G-Fest 28. This was the convention’s second year at the Hyatt in Rosemont, Illinois—and it’s most attended ever with estimates as high as five-thousand! Nathan was on four panels and Daniel six; they met several guests, including Don Frye, Linda Jo Miller, T.J. Storm, and Yumiko Shaku; and they got into all kinds of other shenanigans (“My nipples will be avenged!”). So, whether you missed the con or were present, sit down, relax, and enjoy hearing two friends talk about a magical weekend with fellow kaiju fans.

Bonus Episode #14: I was in ‘ZillaFoot’! | Ft. Daniel DiManna and Elijah Thomas

Published July 13, 2023

It’s not often Nate has actors from kaiju films on the show, let alone two of his buddies! Yes, believe it or not, his friends Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project) and Elijah Thomas (Kaiju Conversation) both “starred” and “co-directed” the independent schlock-fest ZillaFoot from SRS Cinema. In this episode, which is more of an interview than a review/discussion, Daniel and Elijah talk about how they got involved with this movie and what they did in it. They also try to explain its convoluted history and divulge some juicy insider info! It’s the definitive podcast episode on ZillaFoot! (Worst bragging rights ever…?)

This episode was edited by Kim Lacanilao (https://www.nuclearlizardmedia.com/) with Nathan Marchand.

You can buy ZillaFoot on the SRS Cinema Store (https://srscinemastore.com/products/zillafoot-bluray) and Amazon (DVD: https://tinyurl.com/36fmnrsy).

Episode 77: ‘Dinosaucers’ (Ft. Michael Hamilton and Daniel DiManna)

Published July 13, 2023

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! MIFV MAX members Michael “The Man of Many Nicknames” Hamilton and Daniel “Godzilla Novelization Project” DiManna sponsored this Patreon episode on the semi-obscure ‘80s cartoon Dinosaucers, a comedy-action series about anthropomorphic alien dinosaurs battling each other. Sadly, Nate doesn’t find it as cool as that description sounds, much to his guests’ chagrin. The nostalgic Michael and ever-positive Danny make valiant defenses of the show—even when it gets culturally insensitive and a bit cringey. But then it has flashes of brilliance like when the characters travel to Japan and get in a pseudo-Godzilla movie and play a workout video from Chuck No-Wrist. You read that right! Episodes covered: “Dinosaur Valley,” “Sleeping Booty,” “The Truth about Dragons,” “Age of Aquariums,” and “Karatesaurus Wrecks.”

Beforehand, Nate tries—and fails—to sneak past a Space Beastman to acquire the rare scotch for WHG3 and enlists H.E.A.T.’s super-spy, Monique Dupre, for help. Afterward, he and Jet Jaguar take the scotch to Nessie’s Brasserie, where they meet an overeager Bonnie and H.E.A.T.’s techie, Randy Hernandez, and acquire a micro-SD card with evidence against Winter—that requires a password to avoid deleting the data!

This episode was edited by Christopher Riner and Nathan Marchand.

The prologue and epilogue, “Hijinks,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton.

Guest Cast

  • Dani Cruz as Monique Dupre
  • Olivia Reed as Bonnie Lass
  • Daniel DiManna as N.I.G.E.L./Jet Jaguar
  • Michael Hamilton as William H. George III
  • Introducing Nelson Abrego as Randy Hernandez (Twitter: @NelsonAbregoVA)

Episode 73 – ‘Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie’ | Ft. The Cel Cast

Published December 13, 2022

(This episode was largely recorded and written before the tragic news of Jason David Frank’s death).

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In what you could call the perfect crossover between their podcasts, MIFV MAX members Drew and Jacob of The Cel Cast sponsor a discussion of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie. It has animated kaiju in it—they’re just bad CGI robots. But the real star of this film, like other pop culture blockbusters in 1995, was the villain Ivan Ooze (played by Paul Freeman), who steals every scene and eats all the scenery. If you’ve heard Nate discuss this on one of his other podcasts, The Power Trip, this will be an expansion on what he said there, particularly on the subject of the hero’s journey. Too bad for Nate and his co-hosts, their discussion is interrupted by a certain snarky bonehead.

The night before the broadcast, Nate journals about getting voicemails from Karone—an actual Power Ranger—and Raymund—who keeps claiming he was a Ranger. After the broadcast, Nate goes to a special “thank you for your service” meet-and-greet being held in honor of the recently retired Tommy Oliver. But an old foe of Tommy’s crashes the party.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Jason David Frank.

The prologue and epilogue, “Return of the Green Rangers,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. “Rito Calls” written by Nathan Marchand.

Guest Cast

  • Celeste Mora as Karone
  • Damon Noyes as Raymund Martin and Gary Steward
  • Joey Sourlis as Tommy Oliver
  • Shane Cochran as Ivan Ooze
  • Daniel DiManna as Ninjor

Additional music:

  • “Go Go Power Rangers” by The Power Rangers Orchestra
  • “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo
  • “Ivan Ooze” by Graeme Revell
  • “Go Green Ranger Go (Instrumental Redux)” by Ron Wasserman
  • “Susume! Gorenger (Opening Theme) Cover 秘密戦隊ゴレンジャー”by It Takes 2 to Toku

MIFV MAX #14: Netflix’s ‘Troll’ (2022) | Ft. Michael Hamilton and Daniel DiManna (abridged)

Published December 10, 2022

As a warm-up to MIFV season 4—“The Monster Island World Tour”—Nathan and his friends Michael Hamilton and Daniel DiManna discuss Netflix’s new Norwegian kaiju movie, Troll. Is this a secret MonsterVerse film? Is it pulling from the same lore as 2010’s Trollhunter? What do Norwegian fairytales say about trolls? All these questions and more are discussed and answered by Nathan and two trolls he calls “friends”!

To hear the uncut version, where Nathan interviews Michael and Danny about their voice acting work on MIFV, join MIFV MAX on Patreon using the link below.

Additional music:

  • “Legends of Warcraft” by PSK

Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.
