This episode was five years in the making for executive producer Damon Noyes\u2014so he talked for <em>five hours!<\/em> He\u2019s been clamoring for all his favorite podcasts to cover the infamous Danish kaiju movie, <em>Reptilicus <\/em>(1961\/1962), which became something of an icon in spite of itself. But good things come to those who wait, because now Vinegar Syndrome has released a new 4K blu-ray that includes both the American and Danish versions\u2014complete with the notorious \u201cTilicus\u201d song! Yes, <em>Reptilicus <\/em>was a pseudo-musical in Denmark! Nate and Damon had so much to get into, including a Toku Topic on biological regeneration, that this now holds the record for longest MIFV episode. This stop on the Monster Island World Tour was so long, your hosts almost missed the rest of a convention for Reptilicus fans in Tivoli Gardens called Repti-Con!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Jimmy&#8217;s Notes&#8221; on this episode coming soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the short film Damon was in, \u201cOff the Road\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PsI_GYOjVu8?si=Nzkr1muzrWZGeiCn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/PsI_GYOjVu8?si=Nzkr1muzrWZGeiCn<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out Nathan\u2019s spinoff podcasts,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/shows\/henshin-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Henshin Men<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/powertrippod.podbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Power Trip<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/henshinpowerv3.podbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henshin Power V3<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Danny DiManna (author\/creator of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/godzillanovelizationproject.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Godzilla Novelization Project<\/a>); Damon Noyes,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/the-cel-cast-1181606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cel Cast<\/a>, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/nerdchapel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nerd Chapel<\/a>, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, Christopher Riner, The Indiscrite One, Eli Harris, Jake Hambrick, Matt Walsh (but not that Matt Walsh), Jonathan Courtright, Leon Campbell, Michael Watson, and Sam Allred!
