Episode 45, 'Godzilla: The Series' - 'New Family' & 'DeadLoch' (feat. Eli Harris)

The Monster Island Film Vault

Hello, kaiju lovers! Welcome to MIFV's first Patreon-sponsored episode and TV talk! MIFV MAX member Eli Harris visits Monster Island to discuss three episodes of the criminally underappreciated Godzilla: The Series, the vastly superior Saturday morning cartoon sequel to Godzilla (1998). Their discussion includes the show’s the two-part premiere, “New Family,” which picks up where the movie left off, and Eli’s favorite episode, "DeadLoch" (ba-dum-tssh), where Zilla Jr. meets the Loch Ness Monster. You'll hear some great facts about Nessie, too. All the while, Eli stings MIFV’s intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA, with the best zingers this side of “the Pond.” Afterward, Nate visits the office of the Monster Island Legal Action Team to meet with Gary and see what the paralegal has uncovered about the Board of Directors—after Gary goes dumpster diving.

Check out Eli’s podcast, Tokusatsu Beyond.
