Nate is joined by returning guest (and Jimmy From NASA nemesis) Jack \u201cGMan\u201d Hudgens and Jack\u2019s friend J.R. Villers from The Drift Space podcast to discuss this outlandish but imaginative kaiju flick. It\u2019s near and dear (haha!) to Jimmy\u2019s heart because, believe it or not, it dramatizes an exciting chapter of his childhood. Yes, MIFV\u2019s intrepid producer is one of the precocious \u201cKennys\u201d! In order to survive, Nate makes many <em>Star Trek<\/em> references\/comparisons and several puns. The discussion also includes talk about hentai (don\u2019t ask) and how the Rocky films stole the Gamera series\u2019 formula\u2014and it includes Sly Stallone impersonations. The Toku Topic is the Scout Association of Japan since the Gamera kids in this\u2014again, including Jimmy\u2014are both Boy Scouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sound effects sourced from <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Freesound.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Drift Space on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/the-drift-space-1102400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podchaser<\/a>.<br>The \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/markalite.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deferential Wrath of a Rusting Markalite Cannon<\/a>\u201d Substack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/kaiju-weekly\/id1330448313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaiju Weekly<\/a>); Danny DiManna (author\/creator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/godzillanovelizationproject.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Godzilla Novelization Project<\/a>); Eli Harris (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kaijumediajunkie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elizilla13<\/a>); Chris Cooke (host of <a href=\"http:\/\/2099onecrossst.com\/category\/one-cross-radio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Cross Radio<\/a>); Bex from <a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedotaku.libsyn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Redeemed Otaku<\/a>; and Damon Noyes!
