In the zaniest (and funniest) MIFV episode yet, Nate is joined by the QUEEN OF THE FABULOUS EMPIRE, Kaiju Kim, and executive producer Damon Noyes to discuss the most notorious G-film ever: <em>Godzilla vs. Megalon<\/em>. Thanks to an aggressive ad campaign by Cinema Shares, constant play on TV (including a primetime slot hosted by John Belushi), and an endless amount of pseudo-legal home media releases (one of which got the <em>Mystery Science Theater 3000<\/em>&nbsp;guys in trouble), this is the most seen G-film in the franchise. For many, this is their definition of Godzilla or their introduction to him\u2014for better or worse. After Nate and company\u2014including Jet Jaguar, who is filling in for Jimmy From NASA as Jimmy makes final prep for his wedding\u2014finish what few \u201cbig brain topics\u201d there are for this movie, they cut loose, cracking jokes and nerd-ing out for hours. Strap in, folks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jimmy\u2019s Notes on this episode COMING SOON!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/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>\u201cJet Jaguar\u2019s Theme (SYNTH COVER)\u201d by Alyssa Charpentier (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kG71Y1FnJk0?si=Mg6Fa70XlP7uXupv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/kG71Y1FnJk0?si=Mg6Fa70XlP7uXupv<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out Nathan\u2019s spinoff podcasts,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/henshin-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Henshin Men<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/powertrippod.podbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Power Trip<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/henshinpowerv3.podbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henshin Power V3<\/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&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/godzillanovelizationproject.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Godzilla Novelization Project<\/a>); Damon Noyes,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/the-cel-cast-1181606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cel Cast<\/a>, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/nerdchapel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nerd Chapel<\/a>, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, Christopher Riner, The Indiscrite One, Eli Harris, Jake Hambrick, Matt Walsh (but not that Matt Walsh), Jonathan Courtright, Leon Campbell, Michael Watson, and Sam Allred!
