Bonus Episode #19: 'Santa Jaws' | Ft. Bex and Encyclo from Redeemed Otaku | Christmas Special

The Monster Island Film Vault

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 the MIFV versions (although, this is Encyclo's first appearance on MIFV). But since Christmas kaiju media is scarce, they're bending the definition of "kaiju" to discuss a holiday sharksploitation movie: Santa Jaws. If "kaiju" literally means "strange beast," the titular creature here certainly qualifies!
