You might wondering, “What’s with all the bonus episodes? Where’s episode 100?” Nathan addresses those questions in this “state of the podcast” discussion, laying out all the reasons for the delays. Before that, though, he shares an excerpt from a recent episode of the Patreon-exclusive podcast, MIFV MAX (see links below to join our Patreon), wherein he and Matt Walsh (But Not That Matt Walsh) discuss pitches for potential sequels to Godzilla Minus One in light of the news that Takashi Yamazaki is returning to direct (and presumably write) Toho’s next Godzilla film. What do you think of their ideas? Send us feedback!

Happy Godzilla Day, Kaiju Lovers! To celebrate, Nate once again participates in Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins’ series “One Monstrous Moment: 7/70 Edition.” In this one, Nate goes full-tilt nostalgic and analytical by selecting his favorite moment in his first G-film, Terror of Mechagodzilla. Specifically, Godzilla’s epic entrance. It’s more than just payoff and cool factor—it’s the coalescence of two decades of his creative teams’ sensibilities.

Happy Halloween, Monster Children! Your host Vinnie Kami (and his butler, Kappa Joe) return for another frightful tale of monster mayhem. They try something a bit different this time with an excerpt from a novel—or rather, a novelization. Did you know the world was introduced to the Eighth Wonder, King Kong, in a book three months before the classic film released? Mr. Kami has the Legal Action Team’s founder, Raymund Martin, who claims to have received a first edition copy of the book as a gift from a lovelorn secretary (and to have tried to save the book from falling into public domain in the 1960s) read the harrowing chapter where beauty comes face-to-face with the beast. All the while, Kappa Joe demands a raise. Grab your trick-or-treat candy and cozy up to the radio, Kaiju Lovers, for a scary good time!

Seatopia’s most dastardly agent, The Togavengleist, is out to destroy the surface world with one strategically-placed bomb in the Hollow Earth network in Oslo. But one man stands in his way—Rex Dart, Codename: Eskimo Spy! Can he stop this religious zealot, or will he need help from his friend, “J.J.”? (I think you know the answer to this).

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In the zaniest (and funniest) MIFV episode yet, Nate is joined by the QUEEN OF THE FABULOUS EMPIRE, Kaiju Kim, and executive producer Damon Noyes to discuss the most notorious G-film ever: Godzilla vs. Megalon. Thanks to an aggressive ad campaign by Cinema Shares, constant play on TV (including a primetime slot hosted by John Belushi), and an endless amount of pseudo-legal home media releases (one of which got the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys in trouble), this is the most seen G-film in the franchise. For many, this is their definition of Godzilla or their introduction to him—for better or worse. After Nate and company—including Jet Jaguar, who is filling in for Jimmy From NASA as Jimmy makes final prep for his wedding—finish what few “big brain topics” there are for this movie, they cut loose, cracking jokes and nerd-ing out for hours. Strap in, folks!

Livestreamed September 25, 2024, Nathan is joined by MIFV MAX member/“executive producer” Damon Noyes for fun and prizes to celebrate five years of podcast excellence on The Monster Island Film Vault. Festivities included MIFV trivia, MIFV fun facts, and a live reaction to episode 1. Let’s just say Nathan has come a long way as a podcaster.

Jimmy puts his foot down and refuses to let Nate join him on Uber-Moguera to recapture Bill the Jotnar. Disappointed, Nate wanders around a local Norwegian church, venting months and months’ worth of pent up frustrations. But even when Jimmy manages to subdue Bill in the distance, Nate can’t help but make things a little harder for his intrepid producer.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The Monster Island World Tour moves into Europe with a stop in Oslo, Norway, to discuss the 2010 found footage kaiju film, Trollhunter (not to be confused with Netflix’s Troll from 2022—we already covered that). Nate is joined by his college chum, the founder of Nerd Chapel, Eric Anderson, to dive into a movie that says Christians need not apply to be Norway’s hunter of trolls (and we don’t mean the internet variety). That’s just one of the many aspects of this unique film that these two Christian nerds get into. Prepare yourself for a heaping dose of theology and folklore! For the Toku Topic, Nate delves into the “monster masts” controversy surrounding the construction of electrical lines in rural Norway, which helped inspire the film.

Listen to our coverage of Netflix’s Troll (2022) for more info on Norwegian troll folklore! LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mifv-max-14-troll.
