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 c…

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 V…

With Jimmy and Kaguya away on their honeymoon on a “lunar safari,” Nate makes a journal entry bemoaning how they have everything going for them and he doesn't. This leads to him steeling his resolve to prove everyone wrong—by making a rash decision. Check out Nathan’s spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3! We’d …

Hello, Kaiju Lovers…and welcome, Listeners with Attitude! Nate takes advantage of his short time back on the Island to produce a Patreon-sponsored episode requested by first-time MIFV MAX member Andrew Wynja “The Ninja,” who picked the Power Rangers: Time Force VHS “Clash for Control.” So, naturally, Nate couldn’t do this without his former Power T…

That wisecracking duo is back--at least on the MIFV podcast feed. The infamous Rito Revolto (or Rito Bandora, depending on who you talk to) and his cohort, some dude named Wade, go over the latest news on Monster Island. Then they take a request for some ultra-good music from Kevin Gomora, owner of The Markalite Lounge. All the while, they drive ea…

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this little epilogue to episode 100, Michael Hamilton, a frequent guest host on MIFV and former co-host of Nate’s on The Power Trip, takes a break from the reception for Jimmy and Kaguya’s wedding by going to Nessie’s Brasserie—and meets a depressed William H. George III! The two of them have a strange heart-to-heart until N…

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! We’re celebrating not one but two momentous occasions! First, MIFV has reached triple digits, baby! But more importantly, Jimmy and Kaguya are finally getting married after a whirlwind courtship. All of MIFV’s past guest hosts were cordially invited, and you’ll get to hear highlights like the couple’s vows, Nate’s emotional bes…

I sit down with the multitalented Alyssa Charpentier, who wears enough proverbial hats to fill a warehouse. She's a writer, a musician, a Navy sailor, a former Godzilla YouTuber, and hardcore nerd girl, among other things. We discuss her past and current creative projects, her best advice for aspiring writers, and more, including her serialized God…

In this first episode of a Patreon-exclusive review series for the remaining 31 episodes of Godzilla: The Series not covered on the show, Nate analyzes episodes three and four of the superior Saturday morning cartoon sequel to the infamous 1998 movie. One episode lets him talk about a prolific screenwriter and novelist, Kurt Vonnegut, and artificia…

Nate (“The TsuBro”) and Chris (“Sentai Guy”) are hanging out trying to find Jake (“The Metal Don”) to get started on recording Kamen Rider Faiz. Suddenly, Jake comes running up to them with briefcases in hand he says he was given by an employee of Smart Brain before she died…. Podcast Socials: Twitter/X: @HenshinPowerV3 The Markalite Lounge (offici…

Hello, Henshin Heroes! Since there are five Wednesdays in January, and we want to give you something to tide you over while Chris edits the next few episodes, here’s the audio from our Christmas livestream that aired December 21, 2024, on the HPV3 YouTube channel. Enjoy! ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Join Nate (The TsuBro), Chris (Sentai Guy), and Jake (Th…

All right, Henshin Heroes! For your bingeing pleasure (or disdain for us eating up your cellular data and device storage), here’s “Ultracut #2” with all 12 hours(!) of us discussing Ultraman (1966)! I guess Nathan (The TsuBro) keeping all that exuberance for this franchise bottled up for four years of podcasting just spilled all over the show and b…

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) weren’t prepared for a double-whammy of Akio Jissouji in their last batch of Ultraman (1966) episodes—and Nathan’s seen them before! It doesn’t help that they recorded way past the witching hour. Rockets up the anus?! On episode 34?! All of this broke the show’s format worse th…

The tables have turned—Nathan is interviewed on his own podcast! Why? Because he “Mel Gibson’d” (wrote, directed, edited, produced, and starred in) a one-shot origin episode for Scyther Podcasts’ Power Rangers: The Audiodrama titled “Origins: Rito Bandora.” Nathan explains how he got the role of Rito Bandora (or Rito Revolto, depending on who you t…

Merry Christmas, Kaiju Lovers! While this bonus episode was originally meant to end the season, with the delays in production and its hard deadline, it's coming out before the season is over. In a rare of instance of breaking character, Nathan and his guests, Bex and her husband "Encyclo" from Redeemed Otaku, are all appearing as themselves and not…

Nate (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) get into some controversial topics that will definitely get them letters! Their coverage of Ultraman (1966) brings them to a point where the show has found its stride…for the most part. Episodes 20-29 feature “My Home is Earth,” which may be the best episode of the show, and the …

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), where…

A lot happens in this batch of episodes. As the title implies, we get a crossover between Godzilla and Ultraman…sorta…not really. Several iconic and incredibly weird Ultra Kaiju appear, including Pestar (who’s literally two suit actors holding hands), Gavadon (who’s a pillow waiting to happen), the return of the Baltans (so the genocide debate is m…

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 j…

In this updated version of Nate’s crash course in henshin heroes, which was recorded at RamenCon 2024 in South Bend, Indiana, you’ll once again learn the basics of what makes a transforming superhero. Only this time Nate actually discusses the current series airing in Japan at the moment. He also fields some new questions from the audience. Enjoy! …

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 classi…

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). Listen t…

“Here he comes from the sky!” Much to Nate’s (“The TsuBro’s”) delight, HPV3’s starts its coverage of Ultraman (1966)! And Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) have no complaints—except about Arashi being an idiot! This truly classic henshin kyodai hero series premiered as a live stage show that was lost media for a years. In this first b…

Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) were hoping to get started on recording for Ultraman (1966), but Nathan (“The TsuBro”) was nowhere to be found, but never fear—the Ultrabro is here?! (What the henshin?!) Our Ultraman (1966) coverage begins October 16, 2024! Podcast Socials: Twitter/X: @HenshinPowerV3 The Markalite Lounge (official Fa…

To quote Batman, “You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts!” Here’s an ultracut of all six of our episodes covering all 52 episodes of Kamen Rider V3! I don’t know why you’d want to spend that much time with Nathan The TsuBro, Chris The Sentai Guy, and Jake The Metal Don, but here you go. It’s almost as long a binge as those Discotek blu-rays of the seri…

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Jake (“The Metal Don”), and Chris (“Sentai Guy”) finish the first chapter of their new tokusatsu journey with the final episodes of Kamen Rider V3! Such a seminal time requires a visit from a certain skull-faced supervillain—but not the one you’re thinking. (Was it Rito all along?) After he gives the boys some often awkward f…
