Jimmy Notes on Episode 64: Kaiju Weekly vs. ’20 Million Miles to Earth’

Published January 11, 2023

To say the episode 64 broadcast on 20 Million Miles to Earth was chaotic would be an understatement. I still get angry e-mails from listeners about how crazy it was. Let’s just say there are reasons we edit stuff out for the podcast editions—and two of them are named Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton! Listening back on this reminds me why Michael and I used to butt heads: he’s a bit like Commander Hell and thinks he owns any place he walks into. Travis, on the other hand, is an agent of chaos (and I don’t mean the Get Smart kind).

This episode was just a month before the Kaiju Weekly podcast went on an extended hiatus. Despite my issues with Michael, I was sad to see it go. Kaiju Weekly was the first kaiju podcast Nate and I guested on, and we’ve been tight with Travis and Michael ever since. I’ve lived a storied life, but sometimes I feel “nostalgic” for things that happened three years ago. Does that count as “nostalgia”? Michael would know: he’s addicted to it. (Just listen to The Power Trip podcast: he says he “mainlines” it). 😛

Anyway, on to my notes:

  • Michael always wanted to be a Power Ranger, so I figured the hazmat suit would be a good start to a costume. It’s what he gets for denying my existence. 😛
  • Host privileges, Nate? Perhaps you should check some of them at the door.
  • I can vouch for…Travis’s assertion…whatever it was.
  • I met Billy Cranston once. I’d found my way to Aquitar after narrowly escaping a Natarl cruiser. We were the Double Dragons of intellect.
  • I did learn Latin, Marchand. I went to the best schools in New York and Japan!
  • Yes, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was Harryhausen’s next film after this.
  • He can’t cut me off here: Nate’s weird. Beyond weird, even. You should see what his apartment looks like. I think his decorator is a nerdy teenage boy. (Oh, wait…).
  • Kinko and Sexypus: the latest kaiju porn. And I’m sure Michael watches it daily.
  • I think Michael is jealous I saw Ymirs in their native habitat. And then I fixed their native habitat. You’re welcome, Venusians!
  • Jimmys are from Venus. This one is, anyway…well, sorta.
  • I like space candy. My favorite is Astro-taffy, which is flavored with literal stardust. We call it “Star-Stuff.” We’re all made of it, you know.

Now for Nate’s rather extensive notes. He almost never gets through all of them.

Jimmy’s Notes on ‘Episode 63: King Kong vs. Godzilla | Godzilla Redux | Ft. AlyssaGojiGeek’

Published January 11, 2023

Now I’m only ten episodes or so behind! Ha!

I wondered if having Alyssa Charpentier on episode 63 was a good idea, but Nate insisted he had to have her on. I wasn’t going to argue with having a Navy woman on the show (I worked extensively with naval aviators while in the Air Force back in the day), which Nate took as filtration. Given that she’s also a writer and a nerd, I told him I could say the same about him. But we behaved ourselves, and despite Goji-kun and Bro Kong mucking around with the equipment during that broadcast, the episode turned out well. I only took a few notes.

  • I can handle Alyssa…although, she is a short girl. You have to watch out for those.
  • Oh, man. The beeps. So. Many! Freakin’ mascot gremlins!
  • I prefer Nick Adams as my spirit animal. This is a well-established fact on the show.
  • Noh theater does not use puppets; it uses dance and minimal props. Bunraku uses puppets.
  • It wasn’t the satellite from Battle in Outer Space but the Mysterian Space Station that was passed off as the U.N. satellite in the U.S. version. It’s an easy mistake to make, Nate, because the former is a pseudo-sequel to the latter.
  • Alyssa is a “fangirl,” Nate! Get the terminology right! She may be a tomboy, but she’s still a woman!
  • Episode 13 was The Three Treasures, Nate.
  • I’m not wounded by her not seeing 20 Million Miles to Earth. Ego? Bah! Even if I had one, it wouldn’t compare to Michael Hamilton’s! 😛

Here are Nate’s notes…which is recycled from his past podcast life. No judgment here, though.

Let’s see if I can crank out a few more this week if not today!

Jimmy’s Notes on Episode 61: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, ‘Green with Evil’ | Ft. Michael Hamilton

Published January 4, 2023

The Jimmy train keeps a-rollin’! Episode 61 (Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers – “Green with Evil”) was an interesting broadcast because, like Raymund Martin, I moonlighted as a substitute Ranger back in the ‘80s. It was for the Bio-Man team. I was blue. Here’s a picture of me in uniform:

All that to say, I have a bit of a frame of reference for the perks and perils of being a Ranger.

This episode was also interesting because we got a drunk call from Big Willy Three. He’s still reeling from the Kirk-fu chop I gave him last December. I’d say, “Poor guy,” but that would imply I cared.

Anyway, are my notes from that episode:

  • For once, Nate is clashing with Michael. Normally it’s me. But I’m not surprised given what I’ve heard on The Power Trip. 😛
  • I must agree with Michael about Nate’s “girly” hands. I’ve been trying to toughen them up with some Kirk-fu training, but I can only do so much. I may have to pass him off to Ozaki.
  • Michael, you’re resourceful. I knew you’d get to the Island. Plus, Uber-Moguera needed a tune-up. It is a mecha cobbled together using reverse-engineered future tech and alien tech. When it breaks down, it really beaks down.
  • Michael, I could put a good word in for you with Elon Musk if you want to patent the Rad Bug for Billy Cranston. I’m still a fan of Mr. Musk and have been trying to get in contact with him in case he wants an experienced NASA engineer as a consultant for SpaceX.
  • I keep a tally of how many times I say, “Damnit, Marchand!” in a day. My personal record is 97.
  • Don’t get me started on the coffee creamer! There was a band of office girls who trapped me in the breakroom until I refilled it. Hell hath no fury like a woman deprived of morning coffee. Sheesh! Just visit the Craterite Café like everyone else. I don’t care if the animatronic Putty Pandemonium band can’t carry a tune!
  • I can’t find any information on JDF’s parents, Ray and Janice, aside from seeing that Janice was an actress. Both have kept low profiles. All that to say, I can’t confirm or disprove that JDF was an army brat.
  • I’d rather have a loudmouthed space pirate queen than have my crush nearly murder me, Marchand!
  • “Little Nate.” As funny as that is, I’m not confirming it.
  • Michael needed to stop it because 1) family show, and 2) my dagger is bigger. Ha!
  • First, “Rutabaga” was the name of the planet, not the king. That cabbage-head’s name was Rooten-Toomen. Regardless, I met him once. Whatever you do, don’t eat his salads.
  • I couldn’t find a specific term for what Michael said about getting his best ideas while showering except for “Eureka moments.” It has to do with the brain having restricted sensory input, which allows it to process other things. You can read more about it on Insider.
  • I agree. Shutting up WHG3 was the best thing I’ve done on MIFV…except maybe when I outwitted the Board by calling in my friends at NASA so they could rescue us with the Gohten after Nate was shot into space.

As usual, here are Nate’s uncut notes:

Jimmy’s Notes on Episode 62: Eric Anderson vs. ‘The Blob’ (1958)

Published January 4, 2023

Here we go! Time to share my notes on one of the most Americana monster movies ever made: The Blob (1958). Something I forgot to mention during the episode 62 broadcast was that I’ve been a huge fan of Steve McQueen since I was a kid. Him and James Dean and, of course, Nick Adams (my “spirit animal”). Those should come as no surprise to anyone. Hell, I once took a martial arts lesson as a youth in the 1970s from Mr. McQueen, who was trained by Bruce Lee. So, you could say I vicariously learned from the best.

Anyway, let’s get into my notes:

  • “Kaiju doo-doo”? Let’s not insult the Blob like that! Besides, I’ve talked with Ricky the kaiju zookeeper, and he says kaiju crap is different from monster to monster.
  • I let Nate have it every day. It’s part of my job description as his “intrepid producer” and his friend.
  • I checked the filming locations for the film, which, according to Wikipedia, were “around Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, principal photography took place at Valley Forge Studios. Several scenes were filmed in the towns of Chester Springs, Downingtown, Phoenixville, and Royersford, including the basement of a local restaurant which is today named Downingtown Diner.”
  • I hereby challenge Nate to Unmatched! Now I just need to decide who is my main….
  • Blobfest was held this year.
  • The game you were thinking of, Nate, was De Blob.
  • It’s “One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People Eater,” Eric. You got the order wrong.
  • I taught Eric everything he knows about fact-checking radio hosts. He’s a good padawan.
  • My ego has recovered from the fact-checking. My storied life has made me resilient in mind and body.
  • The timeline for the sequels and remakes is 1972 and 1988.
  • I found Blobermouth on YouTube. We should have Eric on for a follow-up.
  • Whatever, Blobermouth (aka Nate—if that is your real name! Are you an alien? That’d explain some things).
  • The Blob will scare the hell out of you—at least according to the church-folk who made it. I confirmed this with Rev. Mifune.
  • “Frog and Toad” thing, huh? Haha!
  • SpaceGodzilla scat? That’s a theory, all right. I doubt there are any scientists who would agree with it…except maybe Dr. Dourif.
  • If I was Cobra Commander, I’d be ruling the world by now. I’ve read the “Evil Overlord List.” Be glad I have refrained from universal conquest.
  • “Presetellar,” Nate? You meant, “prestellar.” As in, “before stars.” This NASA man knows this! Typos are your kryptonite, it seems, writer-boy. 😛

Here are Nate’s uncut notes:

Jimmy’s Notes on Episode 60: John LeMay vs. ‘THEM!’

Published January 3, 2023

Nate’s not the only one who’s way behind on his podcast duties. I have metric ton of notes from past episodes—or so it feels. But contractual obligations must be fulfilled! My New Year’s resolution is to get my blogs caught up. To save time, I’ll be sharing the notes I jotted down during the broadcast and including a PDF of Nate’s uncut notes. I won’t be editing out the portions he discussed on each episode; not until I get caught up.

But given that I was in jail for a while, I had nothing better to do than compile these.

So, bear with me, starting with episode 60 (THEM!), which featured by my former flame war nemesis, John LeMay:

  • Matango boosters are important, guys—unless you’re Dr. Dourif. That weirdo is an example of immersion therapy gone horribly wrong. I’m amazed he isn’t a supervillain yet.
  • It’s “Meganulon” or “Meganuron,” John. But I can understand. It’s the “L” vs. “R” pronunciation confusion with Japanese. But I still expected better from you!
  • I hate Matango brain fog! It’s the worst! Trust me, I know. I had to tend to those psychedelic mutants once on Halloween a few years ago. All I got out of it was a vision of Kumi Mizuno…at least, I thought it was her. Or was it a premonition of Kaguya?
  • Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Gorgo did, in fact, have the same director: Eugène Lourié.
  • I once had to battle a Kamacuras with an American flamethrower. That was mostly because the Russian flamethrower I was given first didn’t work. And because Monster Island zookeeper, Ricky, didn’t know what he was doing. Who hires these people? He’s gotten better, but I’d rather not wrangle monsters with dangerous equipment.
  • “Japanese” not “kaiju,” Nate. Professional radio host there.
  • Apparently, ants do go to war. They fight over territory and to defend their queen.
  • Nate is Russian spy confirmed. That accent is too good. Have some fun in the sun in a Siberian gulag! Got a Solzhenitsyn book you can read?
  • I did some digging, but I didn’t see anything about the ant puppets from THEM! still existing today. I could be wrong, though. We have the real things on the Island, but I’d rather deal with a prop. Speaking of which…
  • I killed a giant fire ant once. I don’t want to talk about it.
  • Michael does have an explosive temper. If you heard what I recorded of him off the air…more people than Kaiju Kim would cancel him!
  • I meant to fact check John’s Trinity nuclear test story involving his grandparents…but I forgot what I was fact-checking, and I don’t have time to re-listen to the episode. Here’s an article on the event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_(nuclear_test).
  • Marchand deprived me of work looking up Beast of Yucca Flats! I don’t get paid enough for this!

Here’s a link to Nate’s uncut notes:

Episode 73 – ‘Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie’ | Ft. The Cel Cast

Published December 13, 2022

(This episode was largely recorded and written before the tragic news of Jason David Frank’s death).

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In what you could call the perfect crossover between their podcasts, MIFV MAX members Drew and Jacob of The Cel Cast sponsor a discussion of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie. It has animated kaiju in it—they’re just bad CGI robots. But the real star of this film, like other pop culture blockbusters in 1995, was the villain Ivan Ooze (played by Paul Freeman), who steals every scene and eats all the scenery. If you’ve heard Nate discuss this on one of his other podcasts, The Power Trip, this will be an expansion on what he said there, particularly on the subject of the hero’s journey. Too bad for Nate and his co-hosts, their discussion is interrupted by a certain snarky bonehead.

The night before the broadcast, Nate journals about getting voicemails from Karone—an actual Power Ranger—and Raymund—who keeps claiming he was a Ranger. After the broadcast, Nate goes to a special “thank you for your service” meet-and-greet being held in honor of the recently retired Tommy Oliver. But an old foe of Tommy’s crashes the party.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Jason David Frank.

The prologue and epilogue, “Return of the Green Rangers,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. “Rito Calls” written by Nathan Marchand.

Guest Cast

  • Celeste Mora as Karone
  • Damon Noyes as Raymund Martin and Gary Steward
  • Joey Sourlis as Tommy Oliver
  • Shane Cochran as Ivan Ooze
  • Daniel DiManna as Ninjor

Additional music:

  • “Go Go Power Rangers” by The Power Rangers Orchestra
  • “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo
  • “Ivan Ooze” by Graeme Revell
  • “Go Green Ranger Go (Instrumental Redux)” by Ron Wasserman
  • “Susume! Gorenger (Opening Theme) Cover 秘密戦隊ゴレンジャー”by It Takes 2 to Toku

Episode 72: Record All Monsters vs. ‘Colossal’

Published November 17, 2022

Hello, kaiju lovers! Today on “Ameri-kaiju,” we get artsy with the indie film Colossal, starring Anne Hathaway. Robert and Courtney from the Record All Monsters podcast stop by to have a thoughtful discussion on this unique kaiju film where the monsters are psychic projections of the main characters. While it’s a comedy, it touches on some heavy subjects, like alcoholism and narcissism. All three hosts share personal stories connected to those subjects. While some commentators have said that the film is about domestic abuse, Nate disagrees. So instead, today’s Toku Topic is on the psychology of inner demons because every character in Colossal is wrestling with one.

Beforehand, Cameron Winter pays Nate a visit in Nate’s prestigious media master office. Winter asks Nate if he knows anything about Jessica helping to free the Ymir—and to maintain his cover, Nate reluctantly says she conspired to do so. Afterward, Nate and Jet Jaguar go to the Heat Seeker and meet H.E.A.T.’s techie, Randy, who sends the robot N.I.G.E.L. to spy on Winter’s operations on the Beta Site. There they make a surprise discovery that’s more than they bargained for, and now Jet must save them.

The prologue and epilogue, “Trespassing,” was written by Nathan Marchand.

Guest cast:

  • Jack Hudgens as Cameron Winter
  • Andres Perez as Randy Hernandez
  • Daniel DiManna as N.I.G.E.L.

Additional music:

  • “Pacific Rim” by Niall Stenson
  • “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo

Bonus Episode 13 – I Hate ‘Pacific Rim: Uprising,’ Change My Mind | Ft. Jack ‘GMan’ Hudgens

Published October 26, 2022

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In a fun little “sequel” to MIFV’s glorious Pacific Rim episode, Nate is joined by the co-host of The Drift Space podcast, Jack “GMan” Hudgens, to discuss a sequel Nate has hated since seeing it in a theater: Pacific Rim: Uprising. Nate didn’t want to have an episode on this film, but when he saw an opportunity for a Fifth Wednesday Bonus Episode, he decided to bring Jack, a stalwart defender of the film, to convince him it has merit. And he makes a valiant effort, going so far as to compare it to Jun Fukuda’s Godzilla films! Does Jack succeed at changing Nate’s mind? Listen to find out!

Listen to The Drift Space’s episode on Pacific Rim.
