After nearly a year of surviving inane MST3K fodder and watching the first two entries of a fantastic trilogy, Nate reaches one of <em>kaiju eiga<\/em>\u2019s zeniths with <em>Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris<\/em>. He\u2019s joined by YouTuber and (ironically) Godzilla enthusiast Kaiju Kim to discuss this masterpiece. As Nate puts it, this is one of the rare trilogies where each entry gets better\u2014in fact, everything gets cranked to 12 in this. They discuss the amazing story, incredible characters, impressive special effects, absolute badassery, and the many, <em>many<\/em> cultural elements that may go over western fans\u2019 heads as crazy fantasy. Speaking of which, choosing a Toku Topic was difficult, but Nate landed on the Four Symbols and mana, because they play the big roles in this film and the rest of the trilogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out Kim\u2019s video on <em>Gamera 3 <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JrtDx5HIe9A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to Nathan Marchand and Travis Alexander\u2019s spinoff podcast, <a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/henshin-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Henshin Men, on Redcircle.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/kaiju-weekly\/id1330448313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaiju Weekly<\/a>); Danny DiManna (author\/creator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/godzillanovelizationproject.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Godzilla Novelization Project<\/a>); Eli Harris (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kaijumediajunkie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elizilla13<\/a>); Chris Cooke (host of <a href=\"http:\/\/2099onecrossst.com\/category\/one-cross-radio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Cross Radio<\/a>); Bex from <a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedotaku.libsyn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Redeemed Otaku<\/a>; Damon Noyes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/the-cel-cast-1181606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cel Cast<\/a>, TofuFury, and Elijah Thomas!
