b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\nWe have many happy (and not-so-happy) returns in this episode. Nathan\\u2019s friends Joe and Joy Metter are back to continue the \\u201cDaimajin Days\\u201d by discussing\\xa0Return of Daimajin. They also brought their dogs, Teddy Kong and Bitzilla, although they\\u2019re a little quieter this time around. Regardless, this is the second of the\\xa0Daimajin\\xa0trilogy from 1966, and while it\\u2019s mostly a rehash of the first film that doesn\\u2019t quite rise to its heights (until maybe the last 10-15 minutes), it does bring a few new things to the table. These include a lake parting that rivals\\xa0The Ten Commandments, a Daimajin with a less gray morality scale, and villains who believe in the supernatural and tremble.\\nUnfortunately, MIFV\\u2019s intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, continues doubt Joy\\u2019s swordfighting ability. To test her mettle, he sics certain winged gremlins from the future on her\\u2014with surprising results!\\nAll this plus the Toku Topics is Shintoism, Shinto shrines, and torii gates since all those factor into this film.\\nEpisode image created by Michael Hamilton.\\nWe\\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our Patreon patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of\\xa0Kaiju Weekly); Danny DiManna (author/creator of the\\xa0Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of\\xa0One Cross Radio), and Bex from\\xa0Redeemed Otaku!
