Jimmy puts his foot down and refuses to let Nate join him on Uber-Moguera to recapture Bill the Jotnar. Disappointed, Nate wanders around a local Norwegian church, venting months and months’ worth of pent up frustrations. But even when Jimmy manages to subdue Bill in the distance, Nate can’t help but make things a little harder for his intrepid producer.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The Monster Island World Tour moves into Europe with a stop in Oslo, Norway, to discuss the 2010 found footage kaiju film, Trollhunter (not to be confused with Netflix’s Troll from 2022—we already covered that). Nate is joined by his college chum, the founder of Nerd Chapel, Eric Anderson, to dive into a movie that says Christians need not apply to be Norway’s hunter of trolls (and we don’t mean the internet variety). That’s just one of the many aspects of this unique film that these two Christian nerds get into. Prepare yourself for a heaping dose of theology and folklore! For the Toku Topic, Nate delves into the “monster masts” controversy surrounding the construction of electrical lines in rural Norway, which helped inspire the film.

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”!
