Episode 32: The MSTies vs. Gamera the Giant Monster (feat. Nick Hayden and Timothy Deal)

Published: Jan. 13, 2021, 8 a.m.

b'Hello, kaiju lovers! And welcome to MIFV season two!\\n\\n\\n\\nMuch to Nate\\u2019s chagrin, the Board-mandated \\u201cYear of Gamera\\u201d begins with the \\u201cfreakishly mediocre\\u201d 1965 movie Gamera the Giant Monsters (or Daikaiju Gamera). So saddened by this is Nate that he visits the Monster Island Chapel and speaks with Rev. Mifune, the Island\\u2019s chaplain. The reverend suggests watching the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes that featured Gamera films so Nate could at least get a good laugh watching them. But when Nate meets up with his friends, first season two Tourists Nick Hayden and Timothy Deal of the Derailed Trains of Thought podcast, they receive a voicemail from the Board\\u2019s executive assistant, Ms. Perkins, saying the Tourists can watch the MST3K episodes but Nate must watch the original Japanese cuts so they can compare notes. Talk about a buzzkill! The first Toku Topic of 2021 is energy consumption in Japan because Nate read an essay that argues Gamera represents that in this movie.\\n\\n\\n\\nRead Jimmy\\u2019s Notes on this episode.\\n\\n\\n\\nFeaturing the voices of:-Nate Chen as Rev.
