Hello, Kaiju Lovers! You\u2019re not only getting a double feature in this episode of \u201cThe Ultra Journey\u201d but also the long-awaited return of one of MIFV\u2019s first guests, Nick Hayden. Nate also returns to one of MIFV\u2019s original conceits: showing a kaiju\/tokusatsu movie to someone who hasn\u2019t seen it. This time, it\u2019s the Ultraman Zearth<\/em> duology. These quirky parodies feature an Ultraman trying to conquer his own trauma and phobias more than the deliciously evil alien supervillains. No, Zearth\u2019s true archenemies are mud and a volleyball. Strap in for Nate having too much fun with his new equipment and for discussions of strangely “NSFW” scenes in kids\u2019 superhero movies. The Toku Topics are mysophobia (aka \u201cgermophobia\u201d) and hypochondria, because the former plagues poor Zearth in his first cinematic outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
