Jimmy’s Notes on Episode 68: Nick Hayden vs. ‘Cloverfield’

Published May 8, 2023

Cloverfield is a film that is gaining more of my interested because of the theories that Clover is a space monster. Or at the very least extraterrestrial. (Contrary to popular belief, those aren’t quite the same things). As for the episode itself, Nick needs to be on the show more often; he’s a pleasant guy. All that to say, I didn’t have many notes on this episode, and none of them pertained to Nick. But correcting the guests is secondary to me keeping Nate honest. Ha! So, here are my additions to episode 68.

  • Yes, Rob Hawkins was offered a job by Monster Island in 2008. The Island was in the early stages of rebuilding and reopening at the time, and Rob was hired as its first director of public relations. Obviously, that didn’t work out. (By the way, I got this directly from the Board, so take that with a kaiju-sized grain of salt).
  • I had a MySpace page once. And don’t let Nate fool you—so did he! (Believe it or not, the site still exists!)
  • Nate, you’re worrying me with that “Yes, quite.” I remember an old…adversary of ours saying it a lot.
  • “Blue Harvest” was actually a fake working title for Return of the Jedi. And the title of a Family Guy Star Wars parody.
  • From what I can tell, the tie-in manga, Cloverfield/KISHIN, wasn’t officially translated and published outside Japan, but there is a fan translation available here (ch. 1-3) and here (ch. 4).
  • Oh, the senseless things Nate does every day. Don’t get me started on the infamous “cockroach” incident involving Elijah Thomas and Daniel DiManna. That audio will stay buried.
  • Sometimes I don’t want to be Nate’s “people.” Especially at this time with him climbing higher in the Monster Island corporate hierarchy. Just saying.

Speaking of Nate, here are his notes for the episode so you can see what he didn’t get to:

That’s all for now. I have a mecha in desperate need of a tune up. Later!

Episode 76: Alex McCumbers vs. ‘Rampage’ (2018)

Published March 20, 2023

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate is joined by a fresh face on the show: gaming journalist and podcaster Alex McCumbers. It makes sense because today’s “Ameri-kaiju” film is Rampage (2018) starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which is based on a classic arcade game. While the movie is “almost good,” as Alex puts it, it does embrace some of the wackiness of its origins with wisecracking “Agent Negan” and cartoonish villains. But it never quite replicates the campy yet dark tone of the source material (I mean, c’mon, the evil corporation in the game was called “Scumlabs”). There’s some brief talk about CRISPR, which Nate wished he’d researched as the Toku Topic, but he promised Alex it’d be on the history of kaiju video games.

Before today’s broadcast, Nate reports to Mister Gold, who tells him he is aware of Nate’s text messages with Jessica the day she freed the Ymir. Now Mister Gold says he’s not sure he can trust Nate. After that harrowing experience, Nate and his merry band of secret rebels go to the last place he ever wants to go to get info from the last person he ever wants to see: the pub Nessie’s Brasserie and its proprietor, William H. George III. It’s an all-out sass war as soon as they walk in.

Check out Alex’s website and podcast, Forever Classic Games (https://foreverclassicgames.com/).

The prologue and epilogue, “Getting the Messages,” was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand.

Guest Cast

  • Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold and William H. George III
  • Damon Noyes as Raymund Martin and Gary Steward
  • Sarah Marchand as Jessica Shaw
  • Daniel DiManna as N.I.G.E.L.
  • Introducing Olivia Reed as Bonnie Lass

Additional music:

  • “Evil Rising” by David Fesliyan
  • “Pacific Rim” by Niall Stenson
  • “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo
  • “The Campbells Are Comin’” by Nesrality
  • “Bonnie Dundee” by Nesrality

Episode 75: ‘Ebirah, Horror of the Deep’ | Ft. Brendan Morley and the Metters | Godzilla Redux

Published March 1, 2023

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The final “Godzilla Redux” episode of season three features three guests! Longtime staples Joe and Joy Metter and first-timer Brendan Morley join Nate to discuss Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (aka Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster). It’s Brendan’s favorite Godzilla film, so it was only natural he’d be here. Nate enticed Joe and Joy to return by having them watch the “banned” Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode that riffed the film. That means the entire gamut is run because Nate watched it subtitled while Brendan watched the international dub. The Metters, as the resident kaiju newbies, notice and appreciate some things hardcore fans take for granted—including what might be an Easter egg no one else has ever seen! It’s an MIFV exclusive, people! Listen to learn what it is!

Before the broadcast, Nate meets a new girl who brings him a press release that says Jimmy is in jail, requiring Jet Jaguar to fill in for him on the show. Then Jessica shows up to berate Nate about taking her job. Afterward, Jessica hears from Mimo that Mothra DNA is being stolen by a Bug Lady, so she intercedes as Crystal Lady. But this new foe proves too strong—until she’s helped by Whambat!

Check out Brendan’s YouTube channel: youtube.com/@AutisticLizardProductions.

The prologue and epilogue, “Severing Family Ties! Jessica Fights Nate and Daggermoth,” was written by Nathan Marchand.

This episode was edited by Kim Lacanilao of Nuclear Lizard Media (https://www.nuclearlizardmedia.com/) and Nathan Marchand.

Guest Cast:

  • Sarah Marchand as Jessica/Crystal Lady
  • Kyndra Chastain as Saskia Messer/Daggermoth
  • Becky “Bex” Smith as Herself/Narrator
  • Damon Noyes as Gary Steward/Whambat, Mimo, and the Nachfalter
  • Hoshiko as Luna

Episode 74: Chris Cooke vs. ‘Power Rangers’ (2017)

Published February 10, 2023

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” continues with a bit of an unusual entry; one that, serendipitously, Nate also covered around the same time on his other podcast, The Power Trip: the controversial Power Rangers (2017). While Nate has grown to appreciate this film quite a bit, he intentionally brought on Chris Cooke (co-host of One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade, and Powerbombs and Piledrivers) to discuss it because he does not. However, these two find more common ground than you’d think. That was surprisingly true in today’s Toku Topic, which is a discussion of representation in media. This serves as a great companion to the Power Trip episode.

Before today’s broadcast, Nate entered his office to find sitting in his chair none other than Mr. Gold. After a thinly veiled threat of “termination,” Nate divulges a secret about Jimmy to him. Afterward, the infamous “Not-Goldar” attacks Monster Island out of nowhere—but help arrives in the form of a newly powered-up Karone! But even Nate, Chris, and Jimmy get in on the monster-fighting action thanks to Mechani-Kong Mk. 2.

The prologue and epilogue, “With Friends Like You,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton.

Guest Cast

  • Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold
  • Celeste Mora as Karone

Additional music:

  • “Evil Rising” by David Fesliyan
  • “Pacific Rim,” “Power Rangers Lost Galaxy,” and “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Niall Stenson
  • “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo

BONUS: Kaiju Weekly 024 – Night of the Lepus (re-release)

Published January 25, 2023

To tide you over while I finish production on episode 74, I’m re-sharing this Kaiju Weekly classic! You’ll get to hear me and Travis Alexander discuss a deathly serious horror movie that features DeForrest Kelly fighting giant killer rabbits! This was originally published in spring 2020. The audio quality is a bit inconsistent because we recorded on Discord.

Original show notes: “This week Travis is joined by fantastic podcast host Nathan from the Monster Island Film Vault podcast. He traveled all the way from Monster Island to discuss giant killer rabbits… that is not a joke. Meanwhile Michael visits Monster Island for what seems to be a challenging vacation.”

We’d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander; Michael Hamilton; Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; Damon Noyes, The Cel Cast, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of Nerd Chapel, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, Brad “Batman” Eddleman, Christopher Riner, and The Indiscrite One!

Hello, Kaiju Lovers!

We then move to the work he did to get Shin Ultraman released through Fathom Events, including who was commissioned to make its surprisingly good dub. You’re getting inside info no other podcast has!
