Billy and Jim are joined by Johnny V, one of the driving forces behind Kaiju Matsuri—a brand new pop culture event rising from the legacy of MorePhenomenal Expo. They chat about the origin of the con, how it expanded beyond Power Rangers, and the surprises in store for this September’s big event in San Antonio, TX.

Johnny shares his journey from vendor to talent coordinator, his love for Sentai and wrestling, and the wild story of landing actual Japanese Beetleborgs and Super Sentai legends for the event. They also talk Ultraman voice actors, anime guests, toy collections, traveling across states to chase fandom, and some extremely spicy takes about Texas vs. Michigan food.

Guests, Guests, and More Guests:

• Go-Kaiger Red
• Jetman Pink
• Japanese Blue Beetle & Dairanger Yellow
• Ultraman voice actor Ryan Negrón
• Power Rangers Dino Fury’s Chance Perez
• Plus anime voices from Go! Go! Loser Ranger and more!

Whether you're here for the convention talk, spicy nostalgia, or just want to hear about what wrestler should attend your funeral—this episode has it all.
