MMPR 62: The Mutiny, Part II Dec 16, 2014

Show notes

Mat threatens to mutiny himself as we kick on with part two of the Season 2 opener this week. Spoiler alert: nothing happens! Oh, we finally get to see the Thunderzords, I guess? They don't, you know, do anything. It's a bummer this week, folks.

Special: New Pilot? Dec 14, 2014

Show notes

In a special, bonus mini-episode of the Ranger Danger Podcast, we discuss a hot-off-the-press rumour. Listen in to find out what Katee Sackhoff, James Van Der Beek, Saban, Disney, Power Rangers and the words 'dark and gritty' might have in common!

MMPR 61: The Mutiny, Part I Dec 09, 2014

Show notes

Our weekly recaps launch into season 2 of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers this week – but before that, we interview OG Red Ranger Austin St. John (Jason) and OG Black Ranger Walter Jones (Zack)!! What have Austin and Walter been up to since leaving the show? Are they prepared to suit up as Rangers again? And – in our recaps – how will we deal with the last hurrah of the original Megazord? Find out in this week’s episode of the Mighty Morphin’ Ranger Danger podcast!

MMPR 60: An Oyster Stew Dec 02, 2014

Show notes

This is it! 60 episodes have been leading to this! This week on the podcast, we recap the very last episode of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Season 1, entitled OYSTER STEW!! Here’s some of what goes down:

How might a Power Rangers/Super Sentai crossover go down? We take a stab!
Comics nerds: did you know a Power Rangers/Youngblood crossover almost happened? And Liefeld was going to draw it? I KNOW, RIGHT?!
We watch a trailer for Green Ranger Jason David Frank’s new YouTube. It’s insaaaaane. In the best/worst way.
So, uh, we know this is the final episode of the season, but this doesn’t feel like a season finale at all. Angela’s back, though? So I guess you get that?
Once again, Power Rangers provides us with a teachable moment: don’t buy jewellery from out of creepy serial killer looking dudes’ jackets. I’d go as far as to call that one a Pro Tip.
HOOOOOO DAMN SON UNDERWATER MEGAZORD BATTLE!!! Drop your cocks and grab your socks and get in on this shiiiiiiiiiiiit.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 59: Mighty Morphin’ Mutants Nov 25, 2014

Show notes

This week on the podcast we watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode MIGHTY MORPHIN' MUTANTS! But, sadly, there's no X-men involved. Or Ninja Turtles. Or any of those weirdos from Mutant X. Here's some of what goes down:

The future of Power Rangers revealed! Dramatic drum roll… MORE NINJAS! Yay?
The Green Ranger is fighting Ryu on Super Power Beat Down. If you don't vote for the Green Ranger, you're expelled from our listener base.
Amy Jo Johnson put the Pink Ranger suit back on! Way to go, Amy Jo! Since that rhymes, we'll overlook the fact that she made us wait 20 years.
Want to know more about the American School System? I sure hope so.
How do you know someone is evil? Their costume is poorly designed.
The Sword of Darkness is back!! It's so dark!!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 58: Football Season Nov 18, 2014

Show notes

It's FOOTBALL SEASON on the podcast this week, as we watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode of that name, with Tim! The key to winning this episode will be yardage. Yardage, yardage, yardage. Here's some of what goes down:

Zordon wrote a book! Kind of! And it's noiiiiiir!
We discuss the Power Ranges Super Megaforce finale. It's THE most disappointing thing that has ever happened. To anyone. Ever.
We offer some pointers on how it could be improved. Not that we're saying that we can and want to write Power Rangers. Except that's exactly what we're saying.
Mat explains American Football using chess as a reference. Just in case you were still wondering whether or not we're giant nerds.
Putties wearing extra costumes! Our favourite thing! Yes!
We pitch the 'The Office' version of Power Rangers. Anyone have a contact at Saban?

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 57: Enter… The Lizzinator Nov 11, 2014

Show notes

Tim's back for another round as we prepare for the entry of... the Lizzinator on the podcast this week! Here's what you've got to look forward to:

"It's not called Ellipsis the Lizzinator. I just want to make that clear."
We pick our Power Rangers dream teams! Well, I say "teams"...
"Trumpets are musical bacon. I've said it before and I stand by it." Are you #protrumpet or #antitrumpet?
Squatt and Baboo learn to cheer. It's... it's definitely something.
Mat discusses his Theory of Putty Reincarnation. It's surprisingly touching.

AND MUCH MORE!

MMPR 56: On Fins and Needles Nov 04, 2014

Show notes

We're walking ON FINS AND NEEDLES on the podcast this week, as we watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode of that name with Paisley! Here's some of what goes down:

Want a buttload of talk about comics? We sure hope so because that's watcha gonna get!
But really though, we uncover something that (if you're familiar with comic history) will probably blow your god damned socks right off. Seriously.
It's the first time (and hopefully the last) will namecheck Ayn Rand on the show.
We get a bit into the Austin St John v Jason David Frank rivalry. Fairly and objectively. Having said that, ASJ4LIFE.
The Rangers assemble the Power Blaster, form up, charge the cannon, fire, and… miss?? Well, that was unexpected. And a little pitiable.
We make a formal request for a new season - Power Rangers: Pirate Knights. Time to start an online petition, maybe?

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!

MMPR 55: Second Chance Oct 28, 2014

Show notes

It's Paisley's first time as a solo guest on the podcast this week, as we watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode 'Second Chance'! Here's some of what goes down:

Is there a mole operating from within Rita's Moon Palace? If so - who is it?
Power Rangers teaches a very strange moral lesson to kids this week.
SOCCER THEMED FIGHT! No, for real. And it's actually pretty cool.
"Zordon out!" He's just trying out the catchphrase. We wish it had stuck.
We know Rita is evil, but she's so down right mean to a kid this episode that it still shocks us.
Want a little bit of discussion about comics censorship? You've come to the right podcast! …oddly enough.
FISH AREN'T FISH! OR SOMETHING! Biology revelations!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

Special: Podcar! Power Rangers: Hexagon Oct 24, 2014

Show notes

It's another special POD-CAR bonus episode of Mighty Morphin' Ranger Danger, as we use our roadtrip back from Canberra to discuss the mythical lost season of Power Rangers - HEXAGON!!! Here's some of what MIGHT HAVE BEEN:

Tommy and Jason leading rival Power Ranger factions? God yes please.
An anti-authority theme running through a season of Power Rangers? God yes please.
Tying up loose ends, like the fate of Scorpina and the fate of Terra Venture? God yes please.
Finding out the identity of the Phantom Ranger? God yes please.
Was it have been gratuitous fan service? Yes. Was it way too ambitious? Yes. Was it bogged down in obsessive continuity? Yes. But do we desperately wish we could've seen it? God yes.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
