Nate has been waiting for this Ameri-kaiju episode for a <em>long<\/em> time\u2014he gets to discuss one of his favorite films: <em>Pacific Rim<\/em>! He\u2019s joined by the three co-hosts of The Drift Space podcast\u2014returning guests Jack \u201cGMan\u201d Hudgens and J.R. Viller, plus Jack\u2019s sister, Rebecca\u2014to gush about how much they love it. Guillermo del Toro\u2019s masterful tribute to both tokusatsu and anime is a movie that is unabashedly itself with its archetypal but strong characters, incredible worldbuilding, and mind-blowing special effects. But beneath the beyond-cool chassis beats the heart of a grossly underestimated story of surprising depth. If you don\u2019t already love <em>Pacific Rim<\/em>, Nate and the Drifters will change your mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beforehand, Nate discovers data files for an abandoned ad campaign for an unknown kaiju named \u201cChimera.\u201d After the broadcast, as you undoubtedly heard, a mysterious kaiju attacked the Island but was killed by the Drifters in their Jaeger, Bouncing Betty. Nate\u2019s live broadcast of that battle is included here.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"318\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/download.jpg?resize=318%2C159\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/download.jpg?w=318&amp;ssl=1 318w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/download.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prologue and epilogue, \u201cChimera,\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional music:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cCradle of the Chozo\u201d by prophetic music<\/li><li>\u201cPacific Rim\u201d by Niall Stenson<\/li><li>\u201cChant My Name!\u201d by Masaaki Endo<\/li><li>\u201cFeel Sound \u2013 Cinematic Adventure\u201d | Music promoted by MAGIC SOUND\u00ae<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sound effects sourced from <a href=\"http:\/\/freesound.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freesound.org<\/a>, including those by InspectorJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out Nathan\u2019s spinoff podcasts, <a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/henshin-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Henshin Men<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/ea203a69-f683-4e85-8182-a5bb9cad8329\/episodes\/7f137514-f1ee-4212-ad21-fa10973afab3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Power Trip.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander; 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, Eric Anderson of <a href=\"http:\/\/nerdchapel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nerd Chapel<\/a>, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, and Brad \u201cBatman\u201d Eddleman!
