With only a week to go before The Monster Island Film Vault premieres next week (Sept. 25), the podcast’s mascots, Goji-kun and Bro Kong, are welcoming some visitors—until this happens!
“Bro Kong, what does the chopper say about his power level?”“IT’S OVER 9,000! GRAH!”“What, 9,000?! There’s no way that can be right!” “I came here for the podcast premiere, not to pick a fight!”
It’s me, Jimmy From NASA, the intrepid producer of The Monster Island Film Vault.
Hello, folks!
The podcast’s intrepid
producer, Jimmy From NASA, here. With The Monster Island Film Vault launching
next month and recordings underway, it dawned on me that Nate couldn’t share
everything he researched about the films. I also learned in our first big
recording session with the Tourists (i.e. Nate’s friends) that I couldn’t catch
every incorrect fact they brought up. I’m a stickler for details. Like white on
rice in a blizzard.
It turns out there’s a clause in the contract we signed that states I get to have a blog on the podcast website. So, after talking this over with Nate (for about 30 seconds), I decided that on the podcast’s off-weeks between episodes (they release the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month), I’ll write and post a blog with everything Nate and the Tourists left out and any corrections on what they said. And trust me, I’ve already got a long list on Nate. There’s a lot more snark coming his way. 😛
Plus, it gives me
something to do when I’m not busy here on the Island. All work and no play
makes Jimmy a dull boy. And I avoid having flashbacks to the War in Space—
A podcast seeking entertainment and enlightenment through tokusatsu.
Join host/curator Nathan Marchand and his intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA (who miraculously survived the infamous War in Space), as they and a rotating roster of Monster Island’s best and brightest Tourists dive deep into the films starring the Island’s most famous kaiju residents!
This is a film appreciation podcast that chronologically and critically examines films from the kaiju and tokusatsu genres. Episodes rotate between round table discussions that feature the film’s production info and an explanation of its historical and cultural contexts; and “mini-sodes” that will include interviews, comedy sketches, and audio essays, among other things. Episodes will drop the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, starting in September 2019. Listeners have a fun and fascinating journey ahead of them.
