b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\nMaking his third trip to Monster Island\\u2014but his first appearance on MIFV\\u2014is none other than the Kaiju Groupie himself, Michael Hamilton. He paid Nathan and Jimmy a visit to discuss\\xa0Dogora, the Space Monster, which was one of three kaiju films released in 1964 by Toho. The titular space squid is a nightmare straight out of an H.P. Lovecraft story\\u2014minus the sorta lame weakness. (To quote Batman, \\u201cBees. My god.\\u201d) Nathan and Michael also discuss Japan\\u2019s infamous mafia, the Yakuza, since there are elements of it in this film. Enjoy!\\nCheck out Michael\\u2019s titular podcast and social media\\xa0here.\\nEpisode image created by, well, Michael Hamilton.\\nRead\\xa0Jimmy\\u2019s Notes\\xa0on this episode.\\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!
