The episode features a discussion about the 1979 film 'Prophecy' with guest Matt Walsh, exploring its reputation and notable moments.
Hello Kaiju Lovers! Because Matt Walsh (no, not that Matt Walsh) is a crazy man who just happened to be on the Island to play Super Mario at a kids party, he jumped to the joke tier on our Patreon called “Jimmy’s Intern” (again). This time, it’s to discuss a 1979 movie directed by John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, 1962) that has a pseudo-kaiju bear voiced by Megatron and played by the Predator and stars Rocky Balboa’s girlfriend. (For SEO purposes, that’s Frank Welker, Kevin Peter Hall, and Talia Shire). Jimmy has the day off for this one, which may or may not have been a good idea. Matt argues the movie is better than its reputation. Meanwhile, Nate adds three moments—including a cult status-worthy scene of “peak cinema”—to his “not on my bingo card” list. Also, John was drunk.
