But he insisted that its infamy and not its quality necessitated we cover it. Besides, Damon jumped at the chance to discuss it. \u201cCrazy Bernice,\u201d as we call this kaiju, is known for her strange behavior, as you heard when Nate and Damon commentated on H.E.A.T. narrowly escaping the Beta Site with the creature chasing them down. Good thing Zilla Junior is a loyal son\u2026guard dog\u2026. Anyway, here are my follow-up thoughts (finally) on that episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I double checked. Dirty Harry said, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3ishbTwXf1g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Go ahead. Make my day<\/a>,\u201d in 1983\u2019s <em>Sudden Impact<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Actually, Nate, it\u2019s not Mitch Marrow. The actor\u2019s name is Jeff Morrow, and he played Mitch MacAfee. I know, your alliteration-loving brain conflated the two. This is why you keep me around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Really, Damon? You\u2019d die defending <em>Reptilicus<\/em>? Speaking as someone who has died once and seen that movie\u2026there are worse causes for which to give one\u2019s life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cProtoplastic\u201d? You meant, \u201cPromoplasmic\u201d!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s a book, not a movie, Damon. (Now if I could only remember what he was talking about\u2026).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giant Claws in space? Let me tell you, they\u2019re far more terrifying in their natural environment. Well, in the antimatter galaxy, anyway. You see, a few years ago, I stumbled upon a wormhole between Jupiter and Saturn. It led to the antimatter galaxy. Like the proverbial curious cat, I flew my ship into the wormhole and barely survived my exit into that dangerous part of space because, as you know, I\u2019m made of regular matter, which doesn\u2019t mix well with antimatter. As my ship\u2019s instruments screamed at me, the giant maw of, well, a Giant Claw filled my windshield. I barely dodged its bite and escaped through the wormhole. This is why I don\u2019t visit the Beta Site much.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I looked at a couple sources (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nemesis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rciusa.info\/post\/the-shrine-of-goddess-nemesis---the-history-of-romania-in-one-object\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Romanian Culture Institute<\/a>) that both discussed the origin of the word\/name Nemesis. It\u2019s meaning as a term for an enemy is more a recent development. The Greek goddess did punish mortals for hubris (i.e. arrogance before the gods), but she was also seen as a dispenser of justice; a judge who maintained order in the universe. In other words, she has a dualistic nature. So, Damon was correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s a good thing I can math. It\u2019s a requirement to work at NASA. That\u2019s another reason Nate keeps me around. He can\u2019t math his way out of a paper bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What? I like hot dogs! Antimatter hot dogs! They used to serve them at parties in NASA!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, here\u2019s the obscenely huge file with all of Nate\u2019s notes on this movie. I still can\u2019t believe they spent 2.5 hours discussing it. The antimatter segment was fantastic, though. But again, I\u2019m a NASA guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/S3E66-The-Giant-Claw-Notes.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of S3E66-The-Giant-Claw-Notes.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-972b31d0-1fbd-49ef-8ad7-b1e71bc212b6\" href=\"https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/S3E66-The-Giant-Claw-Notes.pdf\">S3E66-The-Giant-Claw-Notes<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/S3E66-The-Giant-Claw-Notes.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-972b31d0-1fbd-49ef-8ad7-b1e71bc212b6\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All right, time to get tomorrow\u2019s blog ready!
