b'Hello. kaiju lovers!\\n\\n\\n\\nThe end has come\\u2026for MIFV\\u2019s first season, that is. It was supposed to be an epic episode on Godzilla vs. Kong\\u2026but instead Nathan is joined by Matt and Gratton from the \\u201cGiant Monster Ben Shapiro,\\u201d er, \\u201cBS\\u201d podcast to discuss Space Amoeba (aka Yog, Monster from Space), a weird lesser classic from the Toho tokusatsu library. Released in 1970, it marked a shift in the Showa era for Toho films. This was the year special effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya died, the studio contract system was discontinued in Japan, and Ishiro Honda left Toho, just to name a few big changes. Jet Jaguar hung out with the intrepid Jimmy From NASA in the producer booth to act as a \\u201cdump button\\u201d in case the GMBS boys went full-tilt HBO on a family show. They along with Nathan discuss the film\\u2019s quirky characters and plot, its three well-executed but almost forgotten monsters, and the wonders of the \\u201cWeedmobile\\u201d before Jimmy is called away to quell a rowdy Godzilla and Kong with his newly rebuilt Mechani-Kong. That goes about as well as you\\u2019d expect, so Nathan, Matt, and Gratton have to pilot another giant robot to save his intrepidness.\\n\\n\\n\\nMerry Christmas and Happy New Year, kaiju lovers!\\n\\n\\n\\nRead Jimmy\\u2019s Notes on this episode.\\n\\n\\n\\nListen to Matt and Gratton\\u2019s episode on Space Amoeba.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe prologue and epilogue were written by Nathan Marchand.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis episode features sound effects sourced from www.FreeSound.org, Brand Name Audio, and the Pipeworks/Atari Godzilla video games.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe music tracks heard in this episode are \\u201cGlobal Defense Force: Moguera\\u201d by Heavy Melody Music (from the Godzilla Unleashed OST) and \\u201cKing Kong 2 \\u2013 Main Theme (Metal Cover)\\u201d by Sharp Rain Music.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe episode thumbnail was created by Michael Hamilton.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe\\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our Patreon patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of Kaiju Weekly); Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio), and Bex from Redeemed Otaku!
