xr:d:DAF6_X6emRA:6,j:3083130651098129946,t:24012613

Jimmy may have secretly recaptured Yonggary (aka “Double G”) by his sheer awesomeness, but that victory is short-lived. The nefarious (and rubbery) Galaxions return and unleash an upgraded Cykor protected by an energy shield projected by their ship. Now, only the combined might of Jimmy with a jetpack and Elijah’s powers of argumentation can save Seoul and the world!

Jimmy’s Notes on Episode 90: ‘Reptilian’ vs. Elijah Thomas

I made a rare mistake in this episode. I accidentally hit the broadcast button while Nate was finalizing his prep. So, some candid moments were heard by the Kaiju Lovers. He was a little embarrassed, but I’ve heard no complaints. But then Nate messed with me back by spending way too much time in the “green room” with Elijah for way too long. At least the MIFV MAX members on Patreon will be happy. (I just wish Kaguya was happier with me…). Anyway, let’s get into my notes on episode 90 (Reptilian).

  • Uber-Moguera is my happy place…because Kaguya’s stuck with me! And I built it.
  • Be glad I even included a green room. It’s cramped in this mecha! (Which I like when it comes to my cabin…heh heh!)
  • I didn’t correct Elijah at first because I didn’t want to be gatekept.
  • 120,000, Nate. Not 120.
  • I don’t think Bud Black was a film journalist, Elijah. He was a photojournalist. Unless you’re saying he’s a journalist in a film.
  • The director of House, Obayashi’s, first name is Nobuhiko.
  • You two were on it this episode before I corrected you; especially Elijah. Game recognizes game, Littlest Gatekeeper.
  • No one likes the NSIA. They were always jealous of NASA. Don’t get me started on my counterpart, Jimmy from NSIA, though. I hate that guy! He’s even more annoying than Jimmy From NASADA. (Why are there Jimmys at every space agency?)
  • Bong Joon-ho’s first film was Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000).
  • Elijah is right: I am a god and a chad. In that order. Just ask the people of the Planet Zimbob. I’m still worshipped there to this day.
  • How’d I catch Yonggary? It’s simple, really. You see <REDACTED>

Join MIFV MAX on Patreon to see Nate’s full research notes, including what he didn’t use on the show.

Next time, we get to an equally derided film that’s been reevaluated as part of Godzilla Redux: All Monsters Attack (aka Godzilla’s Revenge). Authors Neil Riebe and John LeMay return for that one. Then we get back to The Monster Island World Tour with another returning guest: the quintessential Korean “gwoemul” film, The Host directed by Bong Joon-ho. The Omni Viewer (and Snazzy) join us for that…theoretically before their time displacement. (My head hurts).

Until next time, remember…we shall overcome!

Episode 83 Epilogue: “Kung Fools”

Nate decides to do some film curation in Hong Kong–with Hannibal Chau. Jimmy escorts him to the Bone Slums to meet the black market dealer and discovers a reel containing the 1999 cut of Reptilian. So, he does what any kaiju film curator would do: he steals it. But Chau won’t have any of that!
