MMPR 46: To Flea or Not To Flee Aug 19, 2014

Show notes

TO FLEA, OR NOT TO FLEE… this is the question, and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode title, on the podcast this week! Amanda joins us again to bring cynicism to the events and question Jason's hotness. Here's some of what goes down:

Want a great game where you manage a team of Sentai heroes? Well Saban sure doesn't want you to have it!
We fawn over the Legacy Power Rangers toys previewed at San Diego Comic-Con.
We meet The Fighting Flea! After a few weeks of creative monsters, this is just… a big flea. WIth a funny voice. Hm.
There's a discussion about Mat's use of the word 'nips'.
Things are looking bleak for Ernie. He even has slings a few gallows-humour-esque comments at a dog.
We don't know what chilli is! Hijinks ensue.
Why is Rita's arsenal of spells so limited? Theories are put forward!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 45: Crystal of Nightmares Aug 12, 2014

Show notes

This week on the podcast, we ingest the CRYSTAL OF NIGHTMARES - or at least the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode of that name - with returning people's champion Amanda! Here's some of what goes down on the show:

We discuss the newly announced writers of the upcoming Power Rangers movie, and Michael proves to be literally the only person in the world who wants to see Ivan Ooze back.
We read listener mail! And we learn that, in Zyuranger, King Sphinx is basically the Riddler from Batman, except if you fail his riddles, he turns you into a tree. THAT'S SUBLIME!
Ever fantasised about Bulk in a maid outfit? Well, too god damned bad because here it is!!
We educate Amanda vis-á-vis what happens at teenage boy sleepover parties.
What do Two-Face, the Penguin, Helen Mirren, and geriatric romance have in common? You'll find out, and still be confused!
THE RANGER DANGER CIVIL WAR IS ON!! Mat VS Michael! Batman: The Animated Series VS ReBoot! Who's side are you on?!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 44: Lions and Blizzards Aug 05, 2014

Show notes

This week on the podcast - Jen's back, and we watch the Mighty Morpin' Power Rangers episode LIONS AND BLIZZARDS… oh my! Here's some of what goes down:

Why don't American soldiers fly to the moon to fight Rita? Um, because she's a crazy moon witch with a flying golden lion man as a lackey.
Are Rita's evil schemes part of a grand tax dodge scheme, or is it a tourism stunt for Angel Grove?
There's an original song in this episode! It is called 'Fight!' It contains the lyric 'Fight!' It plays when the Rangers are 'Fight!'-ing. Poetry.
GOATAN THE STORM BRINGER!! GOATAN THE GOAT LION!! What IS this show?!
Every Goatan goes, he always takes the weather, the weather with hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim.
The show makes an /incredibly/ dirty joke and we can't even fathom how it made it past the censors.
Our Popcorn Alarms are going off!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!!

MMPR 43: Something Fishy Jul 29, 2014

Show notes

On the podcast this week, brand new guest Jen joins us for SOMETHING FISHY! Um, that makes it sound sketchy. That's the title of the Mighty Morpin' Power Rangers episode that we watch, I swear. Here's some of what goes down.

Still no Green Ranger. He "lost his powers in a terrible candle accident."
We all collectively nostalgia freak out when The Secret World of Alex Mack is mentioned.
We discuss how Tommy was probably responsible for inspiring a lot of bad, long 90s hair.
Guest Jen is trying to start a publication to help young creatives. Help her out or you're evil like Rita and a coward like Goldar.
The Putties have a weakness! Getting eskies on their heads, apparently!
"You've got to shimmy to shoot your goo."
We learn what 'sport' Ernie plays. No surprises there >.>

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!

MMPR 42: A Pig Surprise Jul 22, 2014

Show notes

A beautiful thing happens this week on the podcast, as we watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode A PIG SURPRISE!!! And it is a pig surprise! Also, Lauren's back. Here's some of what goes down:

We're told that, in the Japanese version of the show, the Megazord is basically God. If we have to learn about Jesus, then let it be with him as a giant robot.
We throw down the gauntlet! A fight to FIRST PAIN!
Mat: "I'd be a hot villain, like Astronema."
Bulk forms a bond with an animal and we're genuinely moved. I think we can chalk this one up to the Stockholm Syndrome.
One of favourite villains returns, and we almost weep with joy. It doesn't disappoint.
Speaking of favourite villains, we debut a new segment! And we need YOU to name it!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!

MMPR 41: Rita’s Seed of Evil Jul 15, 2014

Show notes

Fan favourite guest Lauren returns to watch the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode Rita's Seed of Evil this week on the podcast! Here's some of what goes down:

We prove our status as the number one Power Rangers podcast amongst people who are called Branden.
Find out what reduces Michael to an empty husk of a man. (What doesn't?)
We discuss Gunblade, which is basically Power Rangers crossed with Iron Man, with a budget somewhere between those two things.
The monster this week wants to hug the Earth to death. Those are the high, high stakes of Power Rangers.
"Nothing says rockin' out like planting some trees."
I'd like to blanket apologise for all the traumatising poop talk on this episode.
Do the tears of a virgin help plants grow? Enquiring minds want to know.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!

MMPR 40: Doomsday Part II Jul 08, 2014

Show notes

This week on the podcast, it's DOOMSDAY! AGAIN! BECAUSE IT'S EPISODE DOOMSDAY PART 2! OF MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS! DOOOOOOOOOOM! Here's some of what goes down:

Kelsey sends us our most comprehensive fan mail yet! Your move, Branden and John!
We misunderstand American culture! High five for cultural ignorance!
Kelsey breaks down for us the many of Wizard of Oz references in Power Rangers that we somehow totally missed. Time to hand in our Power Rangers Expert badges :(
We lament the eternal lack of MegaZordOn.
You might notice that this description isn't mentioning what happens in the actual TV episode so much. That's because it's a big poop. Sorry guys. Hopefully listening to our podcast episode is more enjoyable than watching the damn thing.
Case in point: Titanus' death from the last episode is reversed by the show's editors literally just playing the footage of his death in reverse. I wish this was a joke.
Spoiler warning: To give us a small something to stop us rage quitting the show, Tommy the Green Ranger makes a cameo! Woo woo!

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 39: Doomsday Part I Jul 01, 2014

Show notes

New guests Dane and Rhi join us as we watch the first part of the quasi-season finale of the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers! It's DOOMSDAY!!!! ...PART ONE! Here's some of what goes down on the show:

It's Power Rangers Day in Angel Grove! Come celebrate with big, colourful, ambiguous tube things in the park!
So apparently Goldar has a Megazord now? *record scratch*
"I don't understand how a wind can be evil, but that's fine."
Zack almost breaks one of his most sacred Power Rangers vows to get with Angela. But, y'know. We've all been there.
Oh you know that Megazord thing Goldar has? It's "like a giant, mechanical, three-eyed genie". Because of course it is.
"For some reason they decided that having the Power Rangers punching Satan in the face wouldn't be awesome."

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

Special: Zyuranger: Presenting! The Vicious Squadron Jun 27, 2014

Show notes

This weekend, Timothy joins Mat, Michael, and the Zyurangers for our very first special episode, as they tackle Zyuranger Episode 46: Presenting! The Vicious Squadron! Here's just some of what goes down:

It's our very first special episode!
We do a quick rundown of Zyuranger's backstory, in case you're coming in without having seen any Zyuranger before. Spoilers: it's about 10,000 times cooler than Power Rangers. We spend a lot of time wondering why we're not watching this instead.
What do Elvis, Walt Disney, Hitler, Fry from Futurama, and the woman from the Doctor Who Christmas Special have in common? We're not sure either, to be honest.
"It's also great commentary on why you shouldn't just trust the news media."
How long does it take an angry mob of Japanese people to get to stoning? It's less time than you'd think.
Whoo boy. The bathtub scene. I'm not saying any more. You deserve to be surprised like we were.
"Beep our boops and do the stuff."

AND MUCH MORE!

MMPR 38: A Bad Reflection On You Jun 24, 2014

Show notes

This week on the podcast, it's A BAD REFLECTION ON YOU! I mean, that's the name of the episode we're watching. You're looking great. Here's some of what goes down:

We're now on Stitcher! Ladies love Stitcher. (Mat doesn't know what Stitcher is.)
We had an Irish fan, but then Mat started racial stereotyping... He does lead us to discover another bizarre design choice in the Zord formations.
We announce our first ever SPECIAL EPISODE! *arm flailing*
There's evil Power Rangers! You'll feel their evil when they give the city a big thumbs down menacingly.
The evil Rangers use plumbing equipment for legitimate plumbing work... but in an EVIL WAY! Well, evil-ish. Maybe evil adjacent.
Bulk has an infinite lunchbox, and boy, does that raise more questions than it answers. We're still stuck on this one.
"Listen. Zack had a good plan, Jason cocked it up. Again." But, let's be honest: it's not a great plan.
And we dive into the world of Power Rangers/NCIS crossover fanfiction. Yup.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
