  • Episode 103: 'Konga' vs. Record All Monsters
    Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate and Jet move on to jolly ol' England for the penultimate stop on the Monster Island World Tour, but it's to discuss the sleaziest of the 1961 European kaiju movies: Konga. Thankfully, Nate is joined by the co-hosts of the podcast Record All Monsters (and...fugitives...?), who un-ironically like this movie. While it's a King Kong "knockoff," the studio paid RKO $25,000 for the rights. Not to mention, aside from featuring a giant gorilla (for 15 minutes) who carries humans in his hand, it has almost nothing in common with Kong. But hey, it has Michael Gough (aka Alfred Pennyworth) in it! The Toku Topic, appropriately, is the mad scientist archetype. "Jimmy's Notes" on this episode COMING SOON! For full show notes, including a bibliography of sources, read this episode's blog post on the MIFV website: https://monsterislandfilmvault.com/index.php/2025/04/26/episode-103-konga-vs-record-all-monsters/.  Buy Robert’s book, Record All Monsters: The Book of the Essays from the Podcast (https://a.co/d/gFq6W2U).

  • Episode 102 Epilogue: “Flight of the Reptilicus”
    With Regina and Reggie, the Reptilicus pair, flying and/or slithering through Tivoli Gardens, Nate and Damon try and fail to concoct a plan to halt their “romantic” rampage and recapture the serpentine monsters. Then the Markalite Lounge's owner, the singer Kevin Gomora, calls Nate to say he needs to take refuge in Uber-Moguera, because Regina is chasing him. This gives Damon a crazy idea that just might the kaiju couple back to the Island. You, too, can join MIFV MAX on Patreon to get this and other perks starting at only $3 a month!

  • Episode 102: ‘Reptilicus’ vs. Damon Noyes (complete)
    Hello, Kaiju Lovers! This episode was five years in the making for executive producer Damon Noyes—so he talked for five hours! He’s been clamoring for all his favorite podcasts to cover the infamous Danish kaiju movie, Reptilicus (1961/1962), which became something of an icon in spite of itself. But good things come to those who wait, because now Vinegar Syndrome has released a new 4K blu-ray that includes both the American and Danish versions—complete with the notorious “Tilicus” song! Yes, Reptilicus was a pseudo-musical in Denmark! Nate and Damon had so much to get into, including a Toku Topic on biological regeneration, that this now holds the record for longest MIFV episode. This stop on the Monster Island World Tour was so long, your hosts almost missed the rest of a convention for Reptilicus fans in Tivoli Gardens called Repti-Con! "Jimmy's Notes" on this episode coming soon! For full show notes, including a bibliography of sources, visit this episode's page on the MIFV website: https://monsterislandfilmvault.com/index.php/2025/04/17/episode-102-reptilicus-vs-damon-noyes/.  Watch the short film Damon was in, “Off the Road” (https://youtu.be/PsI_GYOjVu8?si=Nzkr1muzrWZGeiCn).
