Published: Nov. 25, 2021, 2:45 a.m.

b'Hello, kaiju lovers! Nate gets back to his new subseries, \\u201cGodzilla Redux,\\u201d with the first of the many sequels to Godzilla (1954), Godzilla Raids Again. Strangely, it was the first G-film his guest, Kaiju Weekly co-host Michael \\u201cThe Kaiju Groupie\\u201d Hamilton, ever saw. This somewhat forgotten 1955 cash-grab sequel, which was produced and released within six months, isn\\u2019t much to write home about\\u2014except it features the first appearance of fan-favorite kaiju Anguirus and the first ever kaiju fight in a Godzilla film. Nate and Michael discuss these as well as the hilarious dubbed version, \\u201cGigantis, the Fire Monster,\\u201d and the JSDF (Japanese Self-Defense Forces)\\u2014all while dodging Jimmy\\u2019s badgering of his \\u201cformer\\u201d nemesis.\\nBefore the broadcast, Nate and Jimmy get an unexpected visit from a \\u201cnot-quite-dead-yet\\u201d man\\u2014Gary! After months of hiding since his near-fatal encounter with an escaped Gyaos, he\\u2019s decided to reveal himself to Nate and share his harrowing story of survival. After the broadcast, Raymund Martin arrives with legal papers for a class action lawsuit against the Board for Nate and Jimmy to sign and has a happy reunion with his long-thought-consumed paralegal.\\nListen to Nathan Marchand and Travis Alexander\\u2019s spinoff podcast, The Henshin Men, on Redcircle.\\nThis episode\\u2019s prologue and epilogue, \\u201cThe Exaggerated Reports of My Death,\\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand.\\nGuest stars:\\nDamon Noyes as Raymund Martin & Gary\\nAdditional music:\\n\\u201cTrue Evening\\u201d by WillRock\\n\\u201cA weird thing\\u201d by Chiro\\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, Elijah Thomas, and Eric Anderson!
