Published: Sept. 8, 2021, 9 p.m.

b'Hello, kaiju lovers! Though still grieving the loss of Gary, Nate soldiers on\\u2014without his intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, as mandated by the Board\\u2014because he\\u2019s finally made it to the good part of \\u201cThe Year of Gamera\\u201d! He\\u2019s joined by three of the original MIFV Tourists, Nick Hayden, Timothy Deal, and Joe Metter, to discuss Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, the first of the famed Heisei Trilogy directed by Shusuke Kaneko. While the Tourists have never seen it, they have a deep appreciation of storytelling, drama, and anime, so Nate was certain they would enjoy it. Did they? Listen to find out! The Toku Topic is the legend of Atlantis since it factors heavily into this film and the rest of the trilogy.\\nDuring the broadcast, Nate finally conducts his overdue interview with Spacewoman Kilara, who is much nicer about the whole thing than Nate expects. Unlike Miss Perkins, about whom Nate and Jimmy were messaged about by Jessica before the show with a bombshell revelation. Then after the broadcast, he visits the Board\\u2019s executive assistant at her office to confront her\\u2014with electrifying results.\\nListen to Nate and Travis\\u2019s spinoff podcast, The Henshin Men Podcast, on Redcircle.\\nThis episode\\u2019s prologue and epilogue, \\u201cRevelation of Power,\\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand. \\u201cAn Interview with Spacewoman Kilara\\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand.\\nGuest stars:\\nAmy Summers as Spacewoman Kilara\\nCeleste Mora as Miss Perkins\\nAdditional music:\\n\\u201cShrouded Reactor\\u201d by Wiesty\\n\\u201cOpening the Way\\u201d by Pablo Coma\\n\\u201cLet\\u2019s Rocket!\\u201d (Remix) by Johnnybeeog\\nSound effects sourced from Freesound.org.\\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; Damon Noyes, The Cel Cast, TofuFury, and Elijah Thomas!
