Episode 34: The MSTies vs. ‘Gamera vs. Barugon’ (feat. Joe and Joy Metter)

Hello, kaiju lovers!

The Year of Gamera continues. (Yay?) Nate is joined by his friends Joe and Joy Metter to discuss the outlier of the Showa Gamera series, Gamera vs. Barugon. It’s the one that was actually aimed at an adult audience—and it flopped. As usual, the Tourists get to see the MST3K episode—which has Nate’s favorite line of those episodes—while Nate has to watch the original Japanese version. Even with Joel and the Bots’ riffs, Joe and Joy say they would’ve preferred to watch it subtitled! Thanks to a combination of a “monster mic” and the ORCA, Jimmy was able to get Barugon himself to interrupt a few times, but Nate thinks the ORCA’s translations were dubious, at best. The Toku Topic is the New Guinea Campaign because several characters in the film fought during that and the film takes place partly on that island.

Beforehand, Nate, Jimmy, and Jet Jaguar are visited by William H. George III, Esquire, the special envoy to the Monster Island Board of Directors (MIBOD). It is he, and not Ms. Perkins, who brings the Board’s latest press release for Nate to read on the air. He also makes it abundantly clear the Board didn’t appreciate Nate’s “shenanigans” at the Gamera: King of the Monsters Banquet a few weeks ago.

FROM THE DESK OF WILLIAM H. GEORGE III – New Uniforms/Jumpsuits

MEMORANDUM

DATE: July 21, 2020

TO: ALL EMPLOYEES

FROM: THE MONSTER ISLAND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SUBJECT: CHANGES TO THE EMPLOYEE & VOLUNTEER DRESS CODE

In an effort to bring the best experience possible to both our guests and employees, the Monster Island Board of Directors has chosen to implement a new color-coded uniform system for all staff and volunteers working on or around the Island. 

Each department/facility will have its own, board-approved, uniform color-coding system. We believe this will be most beneficial to our guests. So that they know who to speak to when issues or general questions arise during their stay. The official uniform colors that coincide with their respected departments are listed as follows: 

  • Executive Staff – Black or Charcoal Gray (with some flexibility)
  • Maintenance Crew – Orange
  • Sekizawa Library Staff / Volunteers – Turquoise 
  • Garage Crew – Crimson
  • Monarch Outpost 83 – Neon Green
  • Monsterland Resort Staff – Gold
  • Halley’s Comics – Navy Blue
  • MI Chapel – White
  • Aviary – Desert Tan
  • Kaiju Handlers – Camo 
  • Kaiju Court Staff/Volunteers – Purple 
  • Denham Theater Staff – Silver
  • MI Screening Room Volunteers – Yellow
  • Beta Site – Hunter Green
  • Film Vault Crew/Volunteers – Olive Green
  • KIJU Radio Station – Bubblegum Pink 

More details about the specifics of these changes will be released in a separate email to all employees. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to our Employee Advocates Office, and someone will get back to you at their earliest convenience.

Thank you all for helping us keep Monster Island, one of the best places to work and thrive on planet Earth. It’s because of team members like you that help us find a better way forward. 

Sincerely,  The Monster Island Board of Directors
