Episode 102 Epilogue: “Flight of the Reptilicus”

Published April 17, 2025

With Regina and Reggie, the Reptilicus pair, flying and/or slithering through Tivoli Gardens, Nate and Damon try and fail to concoct a plan to halt their “romantic” rampage and recapture the serpentine monsters. Then the Markalite Lounge’s owner, the singer Kevin Gomora, calls Nate to say he needs to take refuge in Uber-Moguera, because Regina is chasing him. This gives Damon a crazy idea that just might the kaiju couple back to the Island.

Episode 101 Epilogue: “Green-Eyed Monster”

Published April 4, 2025

With Jimmy and Kaguya away on their honeymoon on a “lunar safari,” Nate makes a journal entry bemoaning how they have everything going for them and he doesn’t. This leads to him steeling his resolve to prove everyone wrong—by making a rash decision.

The Snarky Boneheads with Rito and Wade #2 | April Fools’ Day Special 2025

Published April 1, 2025

That wisecracking duo is back–at least on the MIFV podcast feed. The infamous Rito Revolto (or Rito Bandora, depending on who you talk to) and his cohort, some dude named Wade, go over the latest news on Monster Island. Then they take a request for some ultra-good music from Kevin Gomora, owner of The Markalite Lounge. All the while, they drive each other to the point of insanity before letting Nate get back on the air. What else is new?

NOTE: Canonically, this takes place after season four and right at the beginning of season five. That will make more sense when season five starts.

Starring:

  • Nathan Marchand as Rito and Wade
  • Damon Noyes as Kevin Gomora

Written, directed, produced, and edited by Nathan Marchand

MUSIC:

  • “Game Over” by Jacob Lizotte
  • “Tenfold True (Instrumental)” by Breaker
  • “Ultraman Rap” (artist unknown)

Check out Nathan’s spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

Special Report #8: Let’s Review…‘Godzilla: The Series’ Episodes 3-4 (“Talkin’ Trash” & “D.O.A.”)

Published February 13, 2025

In this first episode of a Patreon-exclusive review series for the remaining 31 episodes of Godzilla: The Series not covered on the show, Nate analyzes episodes three and four of the superior Saturday morning cartoon sequel to the infamous 1998 movie. One episode lets him talk about a prolific screenwriter and novelist, Kurt Vonnegut, and artificial intelligence. The second invites comparisons to most Ultraman series and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). That’s just a taste of fascinating places Nate goes in his discussion!

Bonus Episode #19: ‘Santa Jaws’ | Ft. Bex and Encyclo from Redeemed Otaku | Christmas Special

Published December 23, 2024

Merry Christmas, Kaiju Lovers! While this bonus episode was originally meant to end the season, with the delays in production and its hard deadline, it’s coming out before the season is over. In a rare of instance of breaking character, Nathan and his guests, Bex and her husband “Encyclo” from Redeemed Otaku, are all appearing as themselves and not the MIFV versions (although, this is Encyclo’s first appearance on MIFV). But since Christmas kaiju media is scarce, they’re bending the definition of “kaiju” to discuss a holiday sharksploitation movie: Santa Jaws. If “kaiju” literally means “strange beast,” the titular creature here certainly qualifies!

MIFV MAX #33 (Abridged): Let’s Talk About…Godzilla Minus One Sequels | Ft. Matt Walsh (But Not That Matt Walsh) (Plus: State of the Podcast Nov. 2024)

Published November 27, 2024

You might wondering, “What’s with all the bonus episodes? Where’s episode 100?” Nathan addresses those questions in this “state of the podcast” discussion, laying out all the reasons for the delays. Before that, though, he shares an excerpt from a recent episode of the Patreon-exclusive podcast, MIFV MAX (see links below to join our Patreon), wherein he and Matt Walsh (But Not That Matt Walsh) discuss pitches for potential sequels to Godzilla Minus One in light of the news that Takashi Yamazaki is returning to direct (and presumably write) Toho’s next Godzilla film. What do you think of their ideas? Send us feedback!

One Monstrous Moment: 7/70 Edition – Godzilla’s “I’m Batman!” Moment (Terror of Mechagodzilla)

One Monstrous Moment: 7/70 Edition – Godzilla’s “I’m Batman!” Moment (Terror of Mechagodzilla)

Published November 3, 2024

Happy Godzilla Day, Kaiju Lovers! To celebrate, Nate once again participates in Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins’ series “One Monstrous Moment: 7/70 Edition.” In this one, Nate goes full-tilt nostalgic and analytical by selecting his favorite moment in his first G-film, Terror of Mechagodzilla. Specifically, Godzilla’s epic entrance. It’s more than just payoff and cool factor—it’s the coalescence of two decades of his creative teams’ sensibilities.
