Yes, this episode is about Shin Ultraman (dir. Shinji Higuchi), but (thanks to this week's guest Beth Westbo) the podcast also touches on, of all things, Doctor Who, American pop culture . . . and it wouldn't be an episode of Monster Kid Radio if Derek didn't mention Manos: The Hands of Fate (dir. Harold P. Warren) at least once. MKR listeners got into the act as well with their called-in thoughts on Shin Ultraman. Plus Listener Feedback, Kenny's Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland, and Mark Matzke's Beta Capsule Review.
