MMPR 54: Trick or Treat Oct 21, 2014

Show notes

It's a spooooOOOOOoooOOOOOoooOOOOooky episode of the podcast this week, as we watch the (admittedly not at all) terrifying episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode TRICK OR TREAT with Jeremy! Here's some of what goes down:

A Power Rangers (or Sentai, rather) stunt actor uses his Ranger skills to break into and rob a whole bunch of homes! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
What would Michael do to turn Power Rangers into a genuinely terrifying horror show?
Want a horrible thought this Halloween? Imagine yourself slowly, unpredictably transforming into a putty. Your mouth sealing up… your skin turning grey and rubbery… *shiver*
Michael: "THAT WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!" What got Michael so enthralled?
Awesome putty fight, awesome monster… this episode has a LOT going for it, despite featuring the world's worst "game show".
The Power Rangers spend so long rap-bragging that the monster get the upper-hand. That's not a typo.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 53: Fowl Play Oct 14, 2014

Show notes

The ever enthusiastic Jeremy joins us to review the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode FOWL PLAY on the podcast this week! Here's some of what goes down:

More on the strange family history of Mr. Thomas Oliver - the Green Ranger!
A surprisingly solid episode! And perhaps the coolest OG Ranger, Zack, gets a chance to shine.
Zack teaches kids incredibly important life skills - flirting whilst juggling!
Peckster - stupid name, surprisingly fun monster. Definitely the best monster to ever be bested by balloons, at least. Uh, spoiler, I guess.
The writer of this episode also wrote for a beloved 90s animated sitcom… but which one…?
We rope Sarah in for a guest spot to dole out romance advice! This is must hear information, people*.

AND SO MUCH MORE!! *Not really.

Special: One-Year Anniversary Trivia Spectacular Oct 07, 2014

Show notes

IT'S ON!! Your normally affable hosts are pitted against each other, as Mat and Michael go head-to-head in a vicious Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season 1 trivia competition to celebrate one year of podcasting!

A trivia question for each episode of the series they've seen… how much craziness have they kept in their brains?
Almost every guest from the show's history returns to help grill Mat and Michael!
One guest reveals a question answer so well that they almost win the competition by default…
Is Tim's voice still sultry? Spoiler warning: yes. Duh.
There may be a major announcement about the future of the podcast snuck in this episode...
Who, ultimately, faces the dread punishment for losing… a fate so terrible it can scarcely be spoken?!

MMPR 52: Two Heads Are Better Than One Sep 30, 2014

Show notes

On the podcast this week, two guests are better than one as Canberrans Jamie and James join us to review the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!!

The reviews are in: "I really didn't understand what was happening", "That was an interesting mess", "It was definitely worse than the last episode", "It wasn't my favourite". Oh dear.
Rita's grasp of math tells her adding an extra head to her monster will make it smarter. It seems like Rita's just an idiot, until… Zordon agrees. That's just accepted science in the Power Rangers universe, I guess.
"Shut up, Billy."
The Rangers 'study' the weaknesses of a monster by pressing buttons on the Command Center console. That's not studying! At least read a book!
This (allegedly) super-smart monster gets distracted when the Rangers throw fruit at it. …ugh.
We guess at how many Power Rangers there have been thus far. Mat is so, so wrong.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 51: Grumble Bee Sep 23, 2014

Show notes

The podcast is recorded in Canberra this week, as new guest host Jamie helps us review the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode GRUMBLE BEE!! It gets us buzzin'.

For the first time, we have a guest who has NEVER SEEN POWER RANGERS EVER! Bewilderment and hilarity ensues.
We talk about Doctor Who's Karen Gillan, dressed in a Pink Ranger costume, getting ice-bucketed - "I approve, but I don't understand."
Power Rangers is returning to New Zealand for shooting? What are the chances we can make the short hop across the water to NZ for a set visit?
Apparently "Bees are the highest form of insect"! That's Power Rangers, your #1 source for science education.
You know how we only just got Tommy back as the Green Ranger? Well if you were hoping to see him fight again this episode, you're shit out of luck.
BASKETBALL FIGHT!!!
Are Rita's magic wands disposable? And is there a weird collector on Earth that is hoarding them? Enquiring minds want to know.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

Special: Podcar! Power Rangers: A Rock Adventure Sep 19, 2014

Show notes

It's a special POD-CAR bonus episode of Mighty Morphin' Ranger Danger, and we pass the time on the road by listening to (and reviewing) MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS: A ROCK ADVENTURE! Here's some of what goes down:

There was a dance remix of the Power Rangers theme - produced by SIMON COWELL - and we didn't get to listen to it.
Mat recommends Ron Wasserman's Power Rangers Redux album on iTunes, for exercise and general life purposes.
Is 'FIGHT!' the greatest piece of music of the 20th century? Mat's not willing to rule it out.
The podcast gets its first injection of Lord Zedd in the best way possible - with his bad-ass theme. It's awesome like the Imperial March… because it's basically the Imperial March.
How many rhymes are there for 'Rita'? We find out together!
"They don't know about your Ultrazord protection." That's a lyric. Not joking.
Find out how the profoundly moving song 'I Will Win!' is at least partially responsible for our podcast.
We get a glimpse into the future and see - THE WHITE RANGER!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 50: Return of an Old Friend, Part II Sep 16, 2014

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Green Ranger Tommy gets his powers and giant Godzilla robot back as we watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode RETURN OF AN OLD FRIEND, PART TWO! Here's some of what goes down:

We go through listener mail! There's swimming teams in Ranger dreams, creature features, ReBoot disputes and morphabulous… shit, I can't rhyme that.
The Great Batman: The Animated Series vs ReBoot Debate continues, with Michael firmly on the back foot.
Drunk Uncle Zordon's rants continue, but he has a lot to deal with you guys, cut him some slack.
Lauren and Mat were taught by a P.E teacher who was a Gladiator! Bad 90s television Gladiator, not Roman Gladiator. Sadly.
"Be aware of his nozzles," says Zordon. Good life advice.
Lauren calls the MegaDragonzord, quote "a bit excessive. It's just a mole! You've got a dragon and a dinosaur! Darwinism says that these guys are probably going to come out on top."

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 49: Return of an Old Friend, Part I Sep 09, 2014

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Green Ranger Tommy makes his triumphant return as we watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode RETURN OF AN OLD FRIEND, PART ONE! And we have an old friend of our own return, as Lauren returns to guest host alongside new guest Daniel! Here's some of what goes down:

When Daniel was a child and his friends played Power Rangers, he was a true hero - and played a Putty for them to beat-up.
We talk about the Where's Wally? (or Where's Waldo? in the US) animated series, and indulge in scandalous WallyWorld parentage rumours.
The cast of Power Rangers Dino Charge is announced, and Lauren asks the hard hitting questions, like: "Any hotties?"
Speaking of hard hitting, this episode of Power Rangers tackles the touchy subject of divorce. Unsurprisingly, that plotline gets railroaded by an armpit-gas-monster.
What's a 'reverse-Justin'? It's surprisingly G-rated.
Is Tommy an orphan? We lay out our theory, just in time for his return! GO, GREEN RANGER GO GO to parent's day at Angel Grove High... without any loved ones!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 48: Plague of the Mantis Sep 02, 2014

Show notes

If you weren't prepared for the Reign of the Jellyfish, just wait until you see the PLAGUE OF THE MANTIS with Kaley this week on Ranger Danger!. Here's what we've got in store:

Is the Legacy Dragonzord show accurate - that is, way cooler than the Legacy Megazord?
The show is vaguely coherent this week! We're so happy we could cry.
"That's probably Rita's best plan ever." "I feel like the writers stumbled across it by accident."
What is the most honourable tradition of kung fu? Is it having giant dinosaur robots?
"Do you want to see penis kung fu?"
Do you know what honour is? The show never really makes it clear.
"And it would have been great, if the episode ended there.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 47: Reign of the Jellyfish Aug 27, 2014

Show notes

It's the REIGN OF THE JELLYFISH on the podcast this week, as Kaley returns to watch Power Rangers with us! Long may she reign! This week on the show:

A wild box appears! And we open it on air! Mystery abounds!
Ah screw it, I'll tell you: we get a Legacy Megazord and Dinozord!!
We throw some more shade on Titanus. Sorry ya dorky tortoise. Ya boring.
We reveal that Michael wanted to be an actor in Power Rangers when we was a child. Mat is shocked by this. Which is shocking in itself.
There's this cool, semi-transparent, 'time-phased' special effect that is so impressive (for this show) that we can't stop raving about it.
Where does the Jellyfish fall on our Ranger Danger Creature Feature ranking? You'll have to listen to find out!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
