MIFV\u2019s season three theme, Ameri-kaiju, wouldn\u2019t be complete without some Ray Harryhausen, so Nate invited both of his \u201cco-hosts in kamen\u201d (ba-dum-tsh!) to discuss <em>20 Million Miles to Earth<\/em>. (Yes, Jimmy reminds Nate that he got his chronology wrong, because this film was released in 1957 and <em>The Blob <\/em>was 1958. Oops!). Harryhausen super-fans Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton, co-hosts of the Kaiju Weekly podcast, join Nate in a chat that veers perilously close to derailing at multiple points. Jet lag will do that to you, especially when flying to the Island in the Rad Bug. Regardless, <em>20 Million Miles <\/em>was Harryhausen\u2019s first truly iconic film, paving the way for his fantasy epics that followed. The intrepid Jimmy From NASA keeps trying to tell his story about seeing a herd of Ymir on their native Venus, but nobody cares. The Toku Topic is the Soviet side of the Space Race since this film begins with a rocket ship crash and was released several months before the launch of Sputnik I. Be prepared for many (bad) Russian accents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To compete with this broadcast, Cameron Winter did a livestream where he sent one of his Cyber-Flies to track down the Ymir so he could be put on display for the film\u2019s anniversary and Harryhausen\u2019s birthday in June. Winter rambles about seemingly random things while doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special thanks to J.P. Gant for helping to edit this episode!
