In Memory of Yukiko Takayama, the Only Woman to Write a Godzilla Film
In memory of Godzilla’s—for all intents and purposes—first and (so far) only female screenwriter. Her film was my first. I owe my fandom in part to her. #inmemoriam #yukikotakayama #godzilla #gojira #terrorofmechagodzilla #kaiju

While contemplating if raiding the Boardroom is a good idea, Nate stumbles across the second episode of the Monster Island Gatekeepers podcast, which was broadcast April 1, 2022. It features a half-drunk William H. George III attempting to discuss how, contrary to popular belief, loving the MonsterVerse makes one a true kaiju fan—with the Old Janitor. Hilarity ensues.

Episode 76: Alex McCumbers vs. ‘Rampage’ (2018)
Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate is joined by a fresh face on the show: gaming journalist and podcaster Alex McCumbers. It makes sense because today’s “Ameri-kaiju” film is Rampage (2018) starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which is based on a classic arcade game. While the movie is “almost good,” as Alex puts it, it does embrace some of the wackiness of its origins with wisecracking “Agent Negan” and cartoonish villains. But it never quite replicates the campy yet dark tone of the source material (I mean, c’mon, the evil corporation in the game was called “Scumlabs”). There’s some brief talk about CRISPR, which Nate wished he’d researched as the Toku Topic, but he promised Alex it’d be on the history of kaiju video games.
Before today’s broadcast, Nate reports to Mister Gold, who tells him he is aware of Nate’s text messages with Jessica the day she freed the Ymir. Now Mister Gold says he’s not sure he can trust Nate. After that harrowing experience, Nate and his merry band of secret rebels go to the last place he ever wants to go to get info from the last person he ever wants to see: the pub Nessie’s Brasserie and its proprietor, William H. George III. It’s an all-out sass war as soon as they walk in.
Check out Alex’s website and podcast, Forever Classic Games (https://foreverclassicgames.com/).

Episode 75: ‘Ebirah, Horror of the Deep’ | Ft. Brendan Morley and the Metters | Godzilla Redux
Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The final “Godzilla Redux” episode of season three features three guests! Longtime staples Joe and Joy Metter and first-timer Brendan Morley join Nate to discuss Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (aka Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster). It’s Brendan’s favorite Godzilla film, so it was only natural he’d be here. Nate enticed Joe and Joy to return by having them watch the “banned” Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode that riffed the film. That means the entire gamut is run because Nate watched it subtitled while Brendan watched the international dub. The Metters, as the resident kaiju newbies, notice and appreciate some things hardcore fans take for granted—including what might be an Easter egg no one else has ever seen! It’s an MIFV exclusive, people! Listen to learn what it is!
Before the broadcast, Nate meets a new girl who brings him a press release that says Jimmy is in jail, requiring Jet Jaguar to fill in for him on the show. Then Jessica shows up to berate Nate about taking her job. Afterward, Jessica hears from Mimo that Mothra DNA is being stolen by a Bug Lady, so she intercedes as Crystal Lady. But this new foe proves too strong—until she’s helped by Whambat!
Check out Brendan’s YouTube channel: youtube.com/@AutisticLizardProductions.

Episode 74: Chris Cooke vs. ‘Power Rangers’ (2017)
Source:
https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-uf643-1388751
Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” continues with a bit of an unusual entry; one that, serendipitously, Nate also covered around the same time on his other podcast, The Power Trip: the controversial Power Rangers (2017). While Nate has grown to appreciate this film quite a bit, he intentionally brought on Chris Cooke (co-host of One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade, and Powerbombs and Piledrivers) to discuss it because he does not. However, these two find more common ground than you’d think. That was surprisingly true in today’s Toku Topic, which is a discussion of representation in media. This serves as a great companion to the Power Trip episode.
Before today’s broadcast, Nate entered his office to find sitting in his chair none other than Mr. Gold. After a thinly veiled threat of “termination,” Nate divulges a secret about Jimmy to him. Afterward, the infamous “Not-Goldar” attacks Monster Island out of nowhere—but help arrives in the form of a newly powered-up Karone! But even Nate, Chris, and Jimmy get in on the monster-fighting action thanks to Mechani-Kong Mk. 2.
The prologue and epilogue, “With Friends Like You,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton.
Guest Cast
Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold
Celeste Mora as Karone

BONUS: Kaiju Weekly 024 - Night of the Lepus (dual release)
To tide you over while I finish production on episode 74, I’m re-sharing this Kaiju Weekly classic! You’ll get to hear me and Travis Alexander discuss a deathly serious horror movie that features DeForrest Kelly fighting giant killer rabbits! This was originally published in spring 2020. The audio quality is a bit inconsistent because we recorded on Discord.
Original show notes: “This week Travis is joined by fantastic podcast host Nathan from the Monster Island Film Vault podcast. He traveled all the way from Monster Island to discuss giant killer rabbits... that is not a joke. Meanwhile Michael visits Monster Island for what seems to be a challenging vacation.”

To tide you over while I finish production on episode 74, I’m re-sharing this Kaiju Weekly classic! You’ll get to hear me and Travis Alexander discuss a deathly serious horror movie that features DeForrest Kelly fighting giant killer rabbits! This was originally published in spring 2020. The audio quality is a bit inconsistent because we recorded on Discord.
Original show notes: “This week Travis is joined by fantastic podcast host Nathan from the Monster Island Film Vault podcast. He traveled all the way from Monster Island to discuss giant killer rabbits... that is not a joke. Meanwhile Michael visits Monster Island for what seems to be a challenging vacation.”
We’d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander; Michael Hamilton; Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; Damon Noyes, The Cel Cast, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of Nerd Chapel, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, Brad “Batman” Eddleman, Christopher Riner, and The Indiscrite One! Thanks for your support!
