Episode 36: The MSTies vs. Gamera vs. Gyaos (feat. Michael Hamilton and Damon Noyes)

Published: March 10, 2021, 8 a.m.

b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\n\\n\\n\\nNate and his guests, MIFV MAX members Michael Hamilton (co-host of Kaiju Weekly and The Kaiju Groupie) and Damon Noyes, reach the peak of the Showa Gamera series\\u2014which isn\\u2019t as high as Nate wants it to be. (Or does he just want to get high?) Once again as part of the Board-mandated \\u201cYear of Gamera,\\u201d the Tourists get to watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featuring this film while Nate must view the original Japanese version to compare notes. Even so, Nate riffs his way through the episode so the Stockholm syndrome doesn\\u2019t set in. Michael sighs almost as much as he talks with all the jokes Nate and Damon drop about \\u201cgassy Gyaos nipples\\u201d and \\u201cplane murder.\\u201d You\\u2019d almost think Nate was enjoying himself. It\\u2019s a great act.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Toku Topic for this episode is the Sanrizuka Struggle, which was a movement against the construction of Narita Airport. It inspired a key plot element in this movie and helped Nate prove to Michael and Damon that there was a social commentary in the film. It\\u2019s also the last social commentary in a Gamera movie for years, so enjoy it while it lasts.\\n\\n\\n\\nBefore the broadcast, Nate tries to tell his intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, how he plans to be a small thorn in the Board\\u2019s side only to be interrupted by Raymund Martin, the head of the Monster Island Legal Action Team, who promptly tells Nate why he can\\u2019t do that.\\n\\n\\n\\nRaymund Martin was created and voiced by Damon Noyes.\\n\\n\\n\\nPrologue written by Nathan Marchand with Damon Noyes.\\n\\n\\n\\nMusic:-\\u201cPerry Mason Theme\\u201d by Buddy Morrow-\\u201cPhoenix Wright \\u2013 Pursuit Cornered | Epic Rock Cover\\u201d by Friedrich Habetler-\\u201cHere We Go\\u201d by Chris Classic\\n\\n\\n\\nSound effects sourced from Freesound.org.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe\\u2019d like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX 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); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; and Damon Noyes!
