Episode 99: ‘Godzilla vs. Megalon’ | Ft. Kaiju Kim and Damon Noyes | Godzilla Redux

Published October 7, 2024

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In the zaniest (and funniest) MIFV episode yet, Nate is joined by the QUEEN OF THE FABULOUS EMPIRE, Kaiju Kim, and executive producer Damon Noyes to discuss the most notorious G-film ever: Godzilla vs. Megalon. Thanks to an aggressive ad campaign by Cinema Shares, constant play on TV (including a primetime slot hosted by John Belushi), and an endless amount of pseudo-legal home media releases (one of which got the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys in trouble), this is the most seen G-film in the franchise. For many, this is their definition of Godzilla or their introduction to him—for better or worse. After Nate and company—including Jet Jaguar, who is filling in for Jimmy From NASA as Jimmy makes final prep for his wedding—finish what few “big brain topics” there are for this movie, they cut loose, cracking jokes and nerd-ing out for hours. Strap in, folks!

Jimmy’s Notes on this episode COMING SOON!

MIFV Season 4 Prelude: “Jailbreak”

Published January 13, 2024

Nate survived another harrowing year on Monster Island, and now it’s time to renegotiate his contract. But he’s shocked to learn that, while he was sleeping, the Island’s security systems failed, allowing multiple kaiju to escape back to their home countries. Even with the Legal Action Team on his case, Nate and Jimmy can’t avoid having the Board mandate that they spend a year chasing down these monsters in Uber-Moguera and return them to the Island. Indignant and obsessive, Nate goes to confront the Island’s “zookeeper,” whom he suspects is on the Board’s payroll—and things don’t go how he expected.

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 No, due to some…impropriety, he has been replaced by a new host, Vinnie Kami.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:

  • “Ahh!! The Zombies Ate John Carpenter!” by HoboKa and Usa

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!)

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.
