This livestream includes a pair of fellow writers and, among other things, a discussion of the Kaiju Writers Panel from G-Fest 2026. A video of that and last year’s panel will be posted on my author YouTube channel soon. This taken from the YouTube channel for my kaiju podcast, The Monster Isdland Film Vault. It’s also available on the channel for my henshin hero podcast, Henshin Power V3.
Join us tonight for a special livestream reflecting on G-Fest 2026 in Rosemont, Illinois. Was it as great as the epic that was last year’s con? Did Nathan survive the nine hours of programming he (foolishly) took on? Did Damon choke on his first panel? Will Omni Viewer explain why Snazzy was missing? All this and more in this fun discussion!
I have a couple of videos/livestreams from my YouTube channel that are overdue for some SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION here. They’re relevant to your interests.
Nathan sits down with his longtime friend and now first-time published author, Daniel DiManna, to discuss said first book: G-Cinema: An Exploration and Celebration of Japan’s Monster King. Danny is the creator and author of the ambitious Godzilla Novelization Project, but he’s also a frequent odcast guest, actor, and full-time goober, as he says. Join us for an exciting (and very nerdy) conversation!
Check out Nathan’s spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

This week, another YouTuber published a bad faith video full of kaiju hot takes. This time it was GSTE making unfounded criticisms of the masterful Heisei Gamera trilogy. Such a hot take requires the combined powers of Nathan Marchand and Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins to rebut it.
This video proved controversial after GSTE got wind of it and bombarded it with comments. See and read for yourself.
I haven’t stopped writing–I’ve just been writing for my podcasts! One of those is The Monster Island Film Vault, a podcast seeking entertainment and enlightenment through tokusatsu. Here are the YouTube playlists for each season of the show, but you can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts and its website, www.monsterislandfilmvault.com.
I will be tabling at a small
convention, and I have applied to table at another local author event. Both
will be in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The first will be Fantasticon Fort Wayne, which is being held September 21-22, 2019. Eric Anderson, founder of Nerd Chapel and my co-author on the 42 books, will also be there, but we’re not tabling together. The con announced that they would be selling five heavily-discounted tables last week, so I jumped at the opportunity. I wasn’t sure I’d snag a table, but I got lucky (or was “blessed,” if you’re the religious type). I’ll be selling and signing my books (although Eric will be selling the 42, so get them from him) and promoting my upcoming podcast The Monster Island Film Vault, which is launching September 25.
According to the
convention’s website,
Fantasticon is a mid-size show created for true comic book and pop culture collectors and fans. The fans that come to our shows are true collectors that are looking for those rare items for their personal collections. Most leave very satisfied as we pride ourselves on having great dealers and artists at our shows. If you collect it, you will find it at a Fantasticon Show.
Fantasticon is proud to have a presence in multiple cities throughout the mid-west. Currently we are in five different cities, in three different states including Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
We also, are very proud of the fact that our admission price is the lowest of any other comparable shows. And the cost for being an exhibitor or artist at the Fantasticon is far less than any comparable comic cons out there.
While I haven’t received a
confirmation yet, I have applied to table to table at the annual Local Author
Book Fair, which will be held November
30, 2019, from 10am-4pm at the main branch of the Allen County Public Library. Find
out more info here
on ACPL’s blog.
Be there or be square!
