b"Hello, kaiju lovers!\\nThe \\u201cYear of Gamera\\u201d reaches its midpoint in an episode that\\u2019s the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Well, not really. But you will hear Nate and returning guest/multi-podcaster Ben Avery discuss 1970\\u2019s Gamera vs. Jiger. This movie, which shockingly opened the year the Japanese film industry crashed, serves as a (sorta) big budget travelogue/commercial for Expo \\u201970, the first world\\u2019s fair held in Asia. Both \\u201cCornjob\\u201d and a yellow submarine return, but outer space is replaced with \\u201cinnerspace\\u201d as the Kennys travel inside Gamera to cure him of his \\u201cimpregnation\\u201d by Jiger, an ancient female demon beast. I\\u2019m not making this up. It\\u2019s a movie that may have anticipated The Exorcist and Alien. The Toku Topic, naturally, is Expo \\u201970. I mean, what else would it be?\\nAfterward, Nate and Jimmy get a surprise visit from Monster Island\\u2019s resident mad scientist and mushroom enthusiast, Dr. Dante Dourif, who\\u2019s been sent on a mission to \\u201cstabby-stabby\\u201d Nate with a syringe filled with his mushroom-enhanced COVID-19 vaccine.
