MMPR 27: Wheel of Misfortune Apr 08, 2014

Show notes

It's our sixth month anniversary, and we celebrate with Billy by watching the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE! And we are subjected an appropriate amount of misfortune! Here's some of what happens this week on the podcast:

You can win stuff by doing our survey! Power Rangers stuff! Which science has proven is the objectively best kind of stuff!
Mat gets his extreme need to talk about TitanFall out of his system by talking about how it might work as a template for a Power Rangers video game. STAND BY FOR DRAGONZORDFALL!
We almost get to see a 90s slang version of Rumpelstiltskin! The tantalising glimpses we do get makes us hunger for a full Broadway production.
This week the Power Rangers must fight a spinning wheel. Seriously. Listen to what we're saying. That wasn't a typo. A SPINNING WHEEL. A YE OLDE SPINNING WHEEL!! This show is insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!!
"She's been waiting for a thematically relevant wheel to get involved in the Power Rangers' lives…"
We discuss the website that Michael built that was for people who liked to see people tied up! …there's a legit explanation, we promise.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

MMPR 26: Gung Ho! Apr 01, 2014

Show notes

Lots of exclamation marks this week as we go Gung Ho! with brand new guest host Billy! Gung Ho! This week on Ranger Danger:

We get a little over the top with yelling Gung Ho!. Sorry about that, guys.
What is Team Ninja? To be honest, we're not even sure.
The return of the Super Putty, and the best claymation you'll ever see on Power Rangers! (Spoilers: that's not a high bar.)
A joke that makes us laugh. It's an April miracle.
It's not just a quest: it's a teamwork quest. That's the same as a regular quest but the map is cut in half.
"He's millennia old. Is it possible he's just got Alzheimers?"

AND MUCH MORE!

MMPR 25: Life’s a Masquerade Mar 25, 2014

Show notes

Sarah and guest Michael return to the podcast as we confront the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode Life's A Masquerade!

We watch a Sesame Street parody of Power Rangers. Surprising no-one, it's much more charming than Power Rangers. Plus better at teaching things.
"HIYA! HIYA! HIYA! HIYA! DON'T BE A RACIST!!"
We discuss ambitious plans to try our hand at adapting Sentai footage. We'll see what comes of that.
Guest Michael has illustrated another Breaking Bad/Power Rangers cross-over: Jessie Pinkranger.
"That's what this show has done to me!" - You won't believe what causes Michael to say this (you all like Upworthy style teases, right?)
"You don't know who's in that suit, you shouldn't be fondling him."

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 24: The Spit Flower Mar 18, 2014

Show notes

There's two Michaels on the podcast this episode, and Sarah's back, as we go up against the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode The Spit Flower! Here's some of what goes down:

We talk about Sherman and Mr Peabody, and segue that into a memory of Michael crying about Power Rangers. That's the sort of magic you can expect from us.
The Thomas the Tank Engine Megazord arrives at the Ranger Danger headquarters, and there was much rejoicing.
Kimberley tries to sway people who aren't 100% sold on World Peace with a giant maybe tiger thing on a bed of flowers. Power Rangers, everybody!
We learn the thrilling origin of potpourri!
"You just have to take the [weaponised laser beams that shoot from the head] for granted on this show. Everyone's got one."
Bulk and Skull get eaten alive by monster flowers! Their flesh is ripped and torn by demonic, gnashing teeth! Haha! Get it? Because comedy!

AND SO MUCH MORE!

MMPR 23: Itsy Bitsy Spider Mar 11, 2014

Show notes

International guest Josh joins us again on the podcast to tackle the Itsy Bitsy Spider! The episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers by that title, that is. …no tiny spiders were harmed in the making of this podcast.

We discuss what would constitute our ideal Power Rangers video game. And then we start talking about Starfox. I don't know, man, we try to stay on topic, but sometimes Starfox just happens.
We watch the new trailer for Power Rangers Super Megaforce! It looks incredibly fun, and piratey and shiny! And instead of watching that show, we go back to watching some stupid, low resolution shit with a guy in a gross-ass spider suit.
"You don't want cockroaches thrown at you, no matter who you are."
It turns out putties are old school stage magicians! They should be working the Vegas strip, not working for Rita.
Does Finnster confuse spiders with snakes? If not, Rita's plan doesn't make any sense. If so… well, Rita's plan still doesn't make any sense.
We get to talking about a rat wearing a tiny lab coat.
Because no-one demanded it - we finally get more hip-hop-kido!
"That's pretty good… but not quite funky enough." - "Story of my life..."

AND MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 22: The Trouble With Shellshock Mar 04, 2014

Show notes

We're joined by Josh - our first ever International Guest! - this week for the first episode of a new era! Tommy's here, and he is literally never going away. And what exactly is the trouble with Shellshock? Find out this week, along with:

Meet Shellshock! He's like Blastoise crossed with a traffic safety device! And he was nearly named Pitoosh!
Learn about the rotation of the moon, as we briefly become an astronomy podcast! Space is cool, you guys.
We might go on a Ranger Danger excursion to Canada! We only need... a lot more money!
Tommy's on the team now! Watch as he disappears right before all the fight scenes!
"She's not attractive on the inside, she's a horrible moon witch!"
The power of the Sabretooth Tiger is used for an absolutely inexplicable reason. We're still confused.
We accidentally say a very horrible thing, and we are legitimately sorry. It's a downer ending this week.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 21: Green with Evil Part V Feb 25, 2014

Show notes

This is it!! The podcast finale of our roundtable discussion of the Green With Evil miniseries!! Let's see what Tommy the Green Ranger has in store for us in this dramatic resolution

We discuss the career of the actor, Jason David Frank! Spoiler warning: he beats dudes up for real now!
VR Troopers gets mentioned for the first and hopefully last time!
We discover that Jason David Frank was in a movie with Ally Sheedy that went unreleased for over a decade!
The Dragonzord is a robot Godzilla that shoots rockets from its fingers. Show redeemed.
The dramatic cliff hanger from the last episode is hand waved away in the least fulfilling way possible, but that's okay, because it leads to a legitimately exciting and enjoyable Megazord and Power Ranger on Power Ranger battle.
Tommy officially joins the team! The era of all the other Power Rangers being forever overshadowed begins! Yaaay…?
Stick around to the very end of the episode for the worst possible 'reward' for sticking with us through all of this.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!

MMPR 20: Green with Evil Part IV Feb 18, 2014

Show notes

On the podcast this week we hit the penultimate episode of the Green with Evil mini-series, which means our time discussing how Tommy is such an evil badass is running out! Our seven person roundtable team discusses some stuff like:

We discuss what the Green Ranger was like on the Japanese version of the show. It's so much more awesome and dramatic than what we get to watch, intense sadface.
We discuss future episodes briefly, in which the show gets a bit richer and deeper. We need to get there real soon, you guys, or we're going to die.
THINGS GET SO REAL IN THIS EPISODE. From the first second, to the traumatising final moments.
Despite this being an incredibly action packed episode, they somehow manage to still squeeze in a sexually suggestive moment.
We spend an uncomfortable time discussing Mat's love life. And then a new podcast is pitched: "How Not To Talk To Girls: The Michael Busuttil Podcast."
This show still manages to shock us, as we get a legitimately brutal fight and an ending akin to the climax of Toy Story 3.

And so much more!!

MMPR 19: Green with Evil Part III Feb 11, 2014

Show notes

It's part 3 (or the hump, if you will) of Green with Evil on the podcast this week, as our six person round table grows to seven - with new guest Paisley - to break down the episode! Here's a taste of what goes down:

Before we even watch the episode, we plugged in a Sega Mega Drive and played some of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers on there. Rita is oddly tender to her minions in it, and Mat was able to demonstrate his prowess in controlling Megazords.
Because Paisley joins us midway through a mini-series which is midway through the series, we quiz her on how she's handling diving into Power Rangers in this way. Spoiler warning: she's a little traumatised by these insanity.
Scorpina appears, and for the first time we actually, legitimately figure out what the crumpet is going on.
Bulk and Skull are defeated by their homophobia again. Hooray!
Paisley: "One minute we're in a weird f--k dungeon and then we're on the moon and then we're in a high school…" Us: "This is our life."
We discuss who on our podcasting team would be which Power Ranger. It leads Mat to an uncomfortable conclusion.

And so much more!!

MMPR 18: Green with Evil Part II Feb 04, 2014

Show notes

Our Green with Evil event continues on the podcast, as our six person round table discuss Part 2: Jason's Battle, as Tommy the Green Ranger continues to absolutely dominate the Power Rangers and we continue to look on in awe. Here's some of what goes down:

Michael feels like Zack at the Backdoor Party.
We debate the ethics of Alpha 5, relating to the ability to feel pain.
An iPhone autocorrect fail leads us to consider Rita's second-in-command Jewish monster Goldstein.
The porn basically writes itself as Goldar takes Jason to his dungeon to play with (and subsequently dominate) him.
The Rangers break the Power Ranger rules! But it's okay because Zordon's away. Phew.
We learn that Jason is totally unnecessary as the other Rangers successfully summon the Megazord without him. And they're a much more compelling team without him anyway.
It only took six people sitting around a table discussing for an hour for Mat to finally gain some sort of respect for Jason as a character.

And so much more!!
