b'Hello, kaiju lovers! With this episode, we reach the end of the \\u201cYear of Gamera.\\u201d Depending on who you talk to (like Nate), it\\u2019s a bittersweet occasion because, on one hand, many bad movies were endured, but on the other hand, today\\u2019s subject is 2006\\u2019s Gamera the Brave. Becky \\u201cBex\\u201d Smith from the Redeemed Otaku podcast and YouTube channel joins Nate to discuss what is, as of now, the last Gamera film. It is sadly overshadowed by everything that came before it. It\\u2019s a shame because this is a Showa Gamera movie\\u2014except good! Think of it as a Gamera film made by Pixar. So, it\\u2019s emotionally honest and will make you cry. Even Nate had to summon all of his manly discipline to keep control. Bex, on the other hand, did not. The Toku Topic, since much of the movie takes place at a restaurant, is Japanese ramen culture.\\nBefore the broadcast, Nate was\\u2026graced with the return of his pseudo-sister, Jessica. Unfortunately, he didn\\u2019t appreciate her bone-crunching glomp and told her off. That got him a lecture from Jessica\\u2019s bestie, Bex. Afterward, Nate is all but forced to indulge Jessica and let her sing a karaoke of a popular anime theme song. You can probably guess which one.\\nCheck out the Redeemed Otaku podcast and YouTube channel.\\nThis episode\\u2019s prologue and epilogue, \\u201cJessica Returns,\\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand with Becky Smith.\\nGuest stars:\\nSarah Marchand as Jessica Shaw\\nAdditional music:\\n\\u201cA weird thing\\u201d by Chiro\\n\\u201cWaltz of the Wind God\\u201d by Laura Platt\\n\\u201cPacific Rim\\u201d by Niall Stenson\\n\\u201cSailor Moon Theme Song\\u201d (melody by Tetsuya Komoro, lyrics by Andy Heyward)\\nSound effects sourced from Freesound.org.\\nListen to Nathan Marchand and Travis Alexander\\u2019s spinoff podcast, The Henshin Men, on Redcircle.\\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!
