Hello, kaiju lovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve reached the point where the \u201cYear of Gamera\u201d gets even goofier\u2014and where Nate begins to miss seeing the Mystery Science Theater 3000<\/em> episodes even more. He\u2019s joined by returning guest, Earth Destruction Directive host Luke Jaconetti, and newcomer\/MSTie Greg Meyer to discuss Gamera vs. Guiron<\/em>. The \u201cKennys\u201d get more precocious and useless (Tom is dead inside). The monsters get more outlandish (Guiron is Knifehead, anyone?). And the villains get \u2026 shapely jumpsuits? Listen as Nate, Luke, and Greg connect this movie to Chronicles of Narnia<\/em> and Barbarella<\/em>, among other things, and muse about their favorite riffs from the MST3K episode. Nate\u2019s descent into madness continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toku Topic is the First Traffic War in Japan. It may sound like a forgotten Transformers storyline, but it\u2019s actually a time period when car accidents increased dramatically in the Land of the Rising Sun. Hence why Akio is obsessed with making a world \u201cwithout wars or traffic accidents\u201d in this movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beforehand, Nate is visited by Jessica Shaw, his pseudo-sister clone, and she tells him she\u2019s bringing Luke and Greg with her first tour group, who will then watch their live broadcast. Then afterward, the infamous Terran spacewomen, Flobella and Barbella, come to Earth to kidnap Gamera\u2014but not if Monster Island\u2019s own magical girl superheroine, Crystal Lady (aka Jessica), has anything to say about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
