Hello, kaiju lovers! This is the audio from a special livestream Nate held to celebrate three years of podcasting on Monster Island. So, of course, his guest co-host had to be his intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA. And also, of course, their topic had to be 1977’s The War in Space (aka “The Jimmy From NASA Story”). Unfortunately, while Jimmy’s mic worked (he doesn’t sound like a droid!), his camera didn’t. Oh, well. Amidst an info dump on Toho’s attempt at Star Wars, Nate and Jimmy play an MIFV trivia game to give away fabulous prizes to fans in the chat—including one where they give their best “how did Jimmy survive the War in Space?” theories. Also, Jimmy faces his PTSD demons. It was…emotional, to say the least.

Watch the full video on the MIFV YouTube channel.
