Nate and his friend Elijah \u201cThe Littlest Gatekeeper\u201d Thomas start a new annual tradition for their podcasts, The Monster Island Film Vault and Kaiju Conversation, respectively, by discussing a Ray Harryhausen film every year. Why? Because they both share a birthday with the special effects legend. Also, since these two are weird, they\u2019re going in reverse filmography order, starting with the original <em>Clash of the Titans<\/em>. This epic adventure was a relic when it came out, but given Harryhausen\u2019s romantic love of the past and love of the classics, it\u2019s not surprising. Your hosts dive deep into this film\u2019s production\u2014Arnold Schwarzenegger was nearly the lead?!\u2014and discuss the many incredible mythological creatures that appear in it. As Harryhausen\u2019s best friend, the author Ray Bradbury, said, Medusa in this film is Harryhausen\u2019s \u201ccrowning glory.\u201d Just forgive Elijah for being a bit snobby about it. Happy birthday, Ray!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(This episode is also being released on the Kaiju Conversation feed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out Kaiju Conversation: <a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/kaiju-conversation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/kaiju-conversation<\/a>.
