In the (overdue) season 3 finale, Nate is forced to deal with Cameron Winter&#8217;s \u201cChristmas gift\u201d: the Asylum&#8217;s infamous <em>Monster Island<\/em>. It\u2019s supposedly a \u201cmockbuster\u201d of 2019\u2019s <em>Godzilla: King of the <\/em>Monsters, but even by the Asylum\u2019s standards, that\u2019s a stretch. To unravel the legal loopholes and shenanigans that went into making this&#8230;movie, Nate brings on the Island\u2019s star lawyer, Raymund Martin, and the man\u2019s paralegal, Gary Steward. Not only do they riff this half-competent (and therefore, boring) \u201ckaiyu\u201d flick into the ground, they give you a crash course in the history of the Asylum and mockbusters. Nate\u2019s contractual obligations are now complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beforehand, Nate delivers his final report as the nonexistent \u201cmedia master\u201d to Mr. Gold, who reveals a few tantalizing details about what&#8217;s been happening on the Island lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Guest Cast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Damon Noyes as Raymund Martin and Gary Steward<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This episode\u2019s prologue, \u201cHeart of Gold,\u201d was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional music:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cThis Cowboy\u2019s Hat\u201d (instrumental) by Chris LeDoux<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cPacific Rim\u201d by Niall Stenson<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Circus Music&#8221; (public domain)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Kaiju Rap&#8221; by Jonah Ray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cChant My Name!\u201d by Masaaki Endo<\/li>\n<\/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 Brad Wesson.<\/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, Brad \u201cBatman\u201d Eddleman, Christopher Riner, The Indiscrite One, Jake Hambrick, Edwin Gonzalez, Matt Walsh (but not that Matt Walsh), and Jonathan Courtright!
