The South Korea leg of the Monster Island World Tour begins with arguably the first true Korean kaiju film: <em>Yongary, Monster from the Deep<\/em>. Author Neil Riebe, who might very well be this film&#8217;s biggest fan, pays yet another visit to MIFV&#8217;s mobile studio in Uber-Moguera to enlighten us with his copious research on the movie. Released in the \u201cYear of the Kaiju,\u201d 1967, it borrows some from Showa Godzilla films but <em>way more<\/em> from Showa Gamera\u2014complete with a Korean Kenny! Ironically, only the dubbed version of the movie survives. It was once the most expensive film ever made in South Korea (until that record was broken by its remake) and is considered one of the country&#8217;s most important films, but does it have the artistic merit to warrant such acclaim, or is it truly just MST3K fodder? Since the film had Japanese technicians from Toei and X Productions working on it, our Toku Topic is Japan-Korea relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/index.php\/2024\/03\/22\/jimmys-notes-on-episode-87-yongary-monster-from-the-deep-vs-neil-riebe\/\"><strong>Read Jimmy\u2019s Notes on this episode on the MIFV website<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Music:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cKuwanga Banga\u201d by PirateCrab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cHere We Go\u201d by Chris Classic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out Nathan\u2019s spinoff podcasts, <a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/henshin-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Henshin Men<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/powertrippod.podbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Power Trip.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Danny DiManna (author\/creator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/godzillanovelizationproject.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Godzilla Novelization Project<\/a>); Damon Noyes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/the-cel-cast-1181606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cel Cast<\/a>, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of <a href=\"http:\/\/nerdchapel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nerd Chapel<\/a>, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, Brad \u201cBatman\u201d Eddleman, Christopher Riner, The Indiscrite One, Eli Harris, Jake Hambrick, Edwin Gonzalez, Matt Walsh (but not that Matt Walsh), Jonathan Courtright, Robert Kidd, Leon Campbell, and Michael Watson!
