It is I, William Horatio George III, your new and vastly superior host for the new and vastly superior podcast, The Monster Island Gatekeepers, which will be replacing the previous show to which you were listening. In this inaugural episode, I am joined by my Board-mandated\u2026co-host, Dr. Dante Dourif, Monster Island\u2019s resident Matango expert and, apparently, the head of special projects. (Although, I don\u2019t know what that entails because he rarely comes out of his smelly basement). We discuss subjects of the greatest importance, such as what one must do to be a true kaiju fan. Yes, and this includes loving <em>Shin Godzilla<\/em> and the Godzilla Anime Trilogy as well as purchasing a six-inch vinyl figurine of a certain popular beetle god here on the Island for $300. This plus the latest news from our prestigious benefactors, the Monster Island Board of Directors, and Dr. Dourif\u2019s supposed\u2026I supposed you could call it his origin story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May you find a better way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This episode is approved by the Monster Island Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow the Monster Island Board of Directors on Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MonsterIslaBOD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MonsterIslaBOD<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\\Users\\user%201\\Documents\\Nate's%20Stuffs\\Monster%20Island%20Film%20Vault%20(podcast)\\MIFV%20Blogs\\www.MonsterIslandFilmVault.com\">www.MonsterIslandFilmVault.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a9 2021 Moonlighting Ninjas Media<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_6898\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1205-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/mcdn.podbean.com\/mf\/web\/8vxyma\/S2B9_Monster_Island_Gatekeepers77nqc.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/mcdn.podbean.com\/mf\/web\/8vxyma\/S2B9_Monster_Island_Gatekeepers77nqc.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/mcdn.podbean.com\/mf\/web\/8vxyma\/S2B9_Monster_Island_Gatekeepers77nqc.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/mcdn.podbean.com\/mf\/web\/8vxyma\/S2B9_Monster_Island_Gatekeepers77nqc.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw(&#039;https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/?powerpress_pinw=1205-podcast&#039;);\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/mcdn.podbean.com\/mf\/web\/8vxyma\/S2B9_Monster_Island_Gatekeepers77nqc.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" download=\"S2B9_Monster_Island_Gatekeepers77nqc.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/index.php\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings and salutations, audio listeners!
