On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing an episode we got to be a guest on over on the Monster Island Film Vault\xa0earlier this year!\xa0\nTo cover all bases and links, I'ma hit you with the summary from the original episode! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHello, Kaiju Lovers! \u201cAmeri-kaiju\u201d continues with a bit of an unusual entry; one that, serendipitously, Nate also covered around the same time on his other podcast,\xa0The Power Trip: the controversial\xa0Power Rangers\xa0(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\u2019d think. That was surprisingly true in today\u2019s Toku Topic, which is a discussion of representation in media. This serves as a great companion to the Power Trip episode.\nBefore today\u2019s broadcast, Nate entered his office to find sitting in his chair none other than Mr. Gold. After a thinly veiled threat of \u201ctermination,\u201d Nate divulges a secret about Jimmy to him. Afterward, the infamous \u201cNot-Goldar\u201d attacks Monster Island out of nowhere\u2014but 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.\nThe prologue and epilogue, \u201cWith Friends Like You,\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton.\nGuest Cast\nMichael Hamilton as Mr. Gold\nCeleste Mora as Karone\nAdditional music:\n\u201cEvil Rising\u201d by David Fesliyan\n\u201cPacific Rim,\u201d \u201cPower Rangers Lost Galaxy,\u201d and \u201cGo, Go, Power Rangers\u201d by Niall Stenson\n\u201cChant My Name!\u201d by Masaaki Endo\nSound effects sourced from\xa0Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.\nCheck out Nathan\u2019s spinoff podcasts,\xa0The Henshin Men\xa0and\xa0The Power Trip.\nWe\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander; Danny DiManna (author/creator of the\xa0Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of\xa0One Cross Radio); Bex from\xa0Redeemed Otaku; Damon Noyes,\xa0The Cel Cast, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of\xa0Nerd Chapel, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, Brad \u201cBatman\u201d Eddleman, Christopher Riner, and The Indiscrite One!
