Lightning Round #21: INTERVIEW - Nathan Marchand, Creator of ‘Origins: Rito Bandora’
In this dual-upload with The Power Trip's spiritual successor, Henshin Power V3, the tables have turned—Nathan is interviewed on his own podcast! Why? Because he “Mel Gibson’d” (wrote, directed, edited, produced, and starred in) a one-shot origin episode for Scyther Podcasts’ Power Rangers: The Audiodrama titled “Origins: Rito Bandora.” Nathan explains how he got the role of Rito Bandora (or Rito Revolto, depending on who you talk to) and how this special episode came about. Also, the Snarky Bonehead himself hijacks the show for a few minutes—and he’s so powerful, it actually messes up the recording slightly! Listen to “Origins: Rito Bandora” on YouTube , Apple Podcasts , and Spotify . Additional music: “Game Over” by Jacob Lizotte.

Episode 39: “Monkey Man and Bastard Must Get Along!” | Denji Sentai Megaranger | Ft. Kaiju Kim
The Queen of the Fabulous Empire, YouTuber extraordinaire, Kaiju Kim, returns to help the boys discuss the Sentai that became her favorite Power Rangers season: Denji Sentai Megaranger . What’s ironic is this Sentai feels more like a classic PR season while its counterpart, Power Rangers in Space , feels more like a Sentai. But is it fair to compare these shows when PRIS has the advantages of legacy and finality while Megaranger is just another Sentai? Can the #BlueWigsAndBlackLeather finally break Sentai’s streak in the “Who did it better?” debate for Nathan? All this plus a thematic discussion of priorities and a “Toku Topic” on why the Japanese love technology in the latest Power Trip! (Also, take a shot every time Kim cancels Michael!)

Episode 38: “Let’s Send That Dinobot Packing!” | Himitsu Sentai Gorenger Manga by Shotaro Ishinomori | Seven Seas Entertainment
Today’s episode is a weird one. It’s The Power Trip’s first solo episode, with Nathan doing more comic book coverage…except it’s a manga…about the first Super Sentai…so it’s only peripherally related to Power Rangers. Anyway, thanks to Seven Seas Entertainment (who also translated and published the original Kamen Rider manga ), Americans can now experience Himitsu Sentai Gorenger , which was created in 1975 by the Jack Kirby of manga, Shotaro Ishinomori. But if you read this graphic novel, be prepared for it to feel more like James Bond than Power Rangers. All the tropes aren’t quite there, but it definitely feels like the prototype for both the Sentai and Ranger legacies. Plus, there’s a giant robot brontosaurus and a cameo by Robbie the Robot. ‘Nuff said! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 37 – “You Aren’t Allowed to Like Turbo Without My Permission!” | Gekisou Sentai Carranger | Ft. Drew Dodgen of The Cel Cast
Save the “Earsh”! Michael and Nathan risk their friendship returning to a controversial subject— Power Rangers Turbo —which is why they brought on Drew Dodgen of The Cel Cast to moderate. Today they discuss Turbo ’s source material, Gekisou Sentai Carranger , a parody Sentai that lovingly mocks the franchise. To say most of the humor was lost in translation would be an understatement. Not that American kids would understand most of it, anyway, because it’s weird. But that’s the charm…even if it borders on late-night cable levels of raunchiness. While Michael remains a simp for a certain “toxic prima donna,” Nathan may have found a new waifu to rival Astronema in this Sentai’s main villainess. In other words, if you’re the rare breed who likes Turbo , steel thyself for four hours of praise for Carranger at its expense! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Happy (belated) Power Ranger Day, Listeners with Attitude! To celebrate, Nathan held a colossal crossover of content creators for an equally colossal comic crossover: IDW/BOOM Studios’ Godzilla vs. Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers !

Episode 33: “Addicted to Goldar Dust” | Saban’s Power Rangers: Aftershock (BOOM! Studios)
For this live recording, Michael and Nathan discuss BOOM! Studios’ follow-up to the polarizing Saban's Power Rangers (2017): Power Rangers: Aftershock . While this comic unfortunately exists within a vacuum, the guys discuss whether it's a worthy, or at least satisfying, successor to the controversial film. In some ways, it feels more like classic Power Rangers (more time morphed, witty banter) but in other ways, it doesn’t (the villains feel straight out of Marvel Comics). Much to the chagrin of some and delight of others, this will probably be the only sequel we ever get to the divisive film. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 32: “Today is Friday in California!” (Ninja Sentai Kakuranger)
Michael and Nathan come to the strangest and most meme-tastic Super Sentai series yet with Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (not to be confused with the Dairangers’ mentor, Master Kaku). After several seasons based on foreign literature and mythology, Kakuranger goes full-tilt Japanese with ninjas fighting Yokai. The fact that any of this was adapted into Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers season three is a small miracle (a flasher monster?!), but it’s Alien Rangers ’ radical re-contextualization that’s the most mind-boggling. How did anyone in the Saban writers room look at those obvious ninja costumes and think, “Aliens from a water planet”? But what your hosts weren’t prepared for was the podcast getting hijacked by not one but two Yokai! All this plus a debate over the infamous “Friday or fine day” meme in the latest Power Trip! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 31: “Putties Stole My Dog!” | Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Special #1 (BOOM! Studios)
With the 30th anniversary of Power Rangers around the corner, Nathan and Michael dive into their longboxes (well, a shortbox for Michael) to discuss Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Special #1 . This was an extra-large anthology comic with several short stories that span the franchise. It naturally includes two (-and-a-half) MMPR stories, but it also inexplicably has a Mystic Force tale and a Ninja Steel crossover. The meat of the episode, though, is dedicated to the issue’s final story, “The Trial of Astronema,” but not just because it’s about Nathan’s Ranger crush; it’s dark and thought-provoking. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 30: “Can You Dodge Our Lai Lai Balls?” | Gosei Sentai Dairanger | Ft. Daniel DiManna and Travis Alexander
You spoke it into existence, Listeners with Attitude! Our first five-hour episode! We’re joined by our two friends, Daniel DiManna ( Godzilla Novelization Project ) and Travis Alexander ( Kaiju Ramen Magazine ) to discuss Gosei Sentai Dairanger . This Sentai is in a weird place because it was only sorta adapted by Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers —as in they used mecha footage and some monster footage. The awesome costumes in this series were unused…until Megaforce (but we don’t talk about Megaforce ). Daniel is interesting because he’s seen Super Sentai before Power Rangers (a rarity in the English-speaking world) and Travis loves this because it combines two of his favorite things: martial arts films and tokusatsu. Our “Toku Topic” is ch’i. Be warned: we get a bit punch drunk by the end. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Nathan is in his element while Michael tags along when The Power Trip finally covers its first BOOM! Studios Power Ranger comic…that was a co-production with DC Comics. So…does it count? Regardless, in Justice League/Power Rangers , the most iconic superheroes in the world join forces with the Teenagers with Attitude—and it’s a match made in comic book heaven.

Happy New Year, Listeners with Attitude! We’re kicking off Power Trip 2: Taisaku Sentai Podranger (aka season two) with some comic coverage—but not BOOM! Studios! No, it’s Going Green , the last Ranger comic produced before BOOM! acquired the license, and it’s…wacky, to say the least. If you heard our episode on The Monster Island Film Vault about “Green with Evil,” then you know this comic is a prequel to that miniseries. It explains how Rita acquired the Green Power Coin—while fighting vegetable people—and chose Tommy as its bearer—after trying to seduce him! Seriously, we’re not sure if this is supposed to be a canonical parody or the creators misremembering how goofy the show was at points.

Episode 24 - Power Rangers: Beast Morphers
The Hasbro Era begins! Michael and Nathan definitely don’t miss the previous season or They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. While your intrepid hosts knew some of the spoilers going into Power Rangers: Beast Morphers , it didn’t ruin their enjoyment. Heck, this series did in five episodes what all 40+ episodes of Megaforce couldn’t do! While Nate does threaten to “whip Rito out early,” he and Michael spend most of their longest episode ever (4.5 hours!!!) praising a series that surprised them with its story, characters, and fan service (Space Sheriff Gavin is canon?!). The show even prompted one of the best thematic discussions they’ve had on the podcast. It helps that it’s a secret sequel to one of their favorite PR series. Which one?

Episode 23: Power Rangers Ninja Steel
The Neo-Saban Era comes to an end—and what a whimper it is! Nathan and Michael tackle Power Rangers Ninja Steel , whose greatest sin could’ve been being painfully mediocre—but then those two Nickelodeon-mandated characters had to ruin everything! So, for the first time ever, “Rantmaster” and “Blue Streak Ranger” join forces! Otherwise, your hosts spend this four-hour cluster of a recording (those two characters even broke their internet reception) discussing the few highlights in this show, including Kelson Henderson as Mick, Redbot, and the Pink Ranger’s tight jeans. Oh, and after avoiding it all year, there’s a thematic discussion on teamwork. But it’s more profound than you’d think. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Lightning Round #13 – The Monster Island Film Vault, Episode 61: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers – ‘Green with Evil’ (Reupload, Abridged)
Where’s the Ninja Steel episode? That recording was a cluster, so Michael needs a little more time to edit it. In meantime, we’re sharing an abridged version of an episode of one of Nathan’s other podcasts, The Monster Island Film Vault. In this, Michael, who is a Patron of MIFV, sponsored an episode that spotlights the classic MMPR five-parter, “Green with Evil.” Here are the original show notes for the episode: Hello, kaiju lovers! In our first Patreon-sponsored episode of season three, Nate is joined by his co-host from The Power Trip podcast and frequent guest, Michael Hamilton, for some TV talk. (Although, first they have to resolve longstanding issues from the…“Yeti incident”). In this case, the epic five-part miniseries from Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers , “Green with Evil.” This introduced toku-loving kids to Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank), the femme fatale Scorpina, and the iconic Dragonzord. But in true MIFV fashion, Nate and Michael have a deeper-than-you-would-expect thematic discussion about this miniseries and how it shows the corruptive nature of evil—and it includes quotations from J.R.R. Tolkien and St. Augustine! Yes, that’s the kind of podcast we are. Strap in, folks! It’s morphin’ time! To hear the unabridged version, visit the MIFV website .

Happy Halloween, Listeners with Attitude! To celebrate the spookiest time of year, Michael and Nathan harken back to season one of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers to discuss a pair of Halloween-themed episodes. (It was a welcome break from Ninja Steel and They Who Shall Not Be Named Until the Ninja Steel Episode). Frankenstein and Pumpkin Rapper are a pair of truly monstrous foes for the OG Power Rangers.

Episode 22: Saban’s Power Rangers (2017) | Ft. Jack ‘GMan’ Hudgens
Nathan’s been waiting for this episode for a long time. He even popped popcorn for the occasion. But he doesn’t get what he wanted—he got something better! Michael changed his mind about the Power Rangers (2017) movie! They’re joined by writer, critic, and co-host of The Drift Space podcast Jack “GMan” Hudgens to discuss the most divisive and, arguably, most underrated piece of Power Rangers media. For all its faults with its aesthetics, it gets the heart of the franchise right. It was made by people who love Power Rangers, and yet it was largely rejected by the fans. It’s tragic, and the film deserves to be re-evaluated. A sequel would’ve helped it. All this, a thematic discussion on love, and more in the latest episode of The Power Trip! Today’s theme song is “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Brian Tyler. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 21: Power Rangers Dino (Super) Charge | Ft. Alex Cornett of Monsters vs. Men
Michael and Nathan reach the apex of the Neo Saban Era: Power Rangers Dino Charge . They bring along their friend Alex Cornett of the Monsters vs. Men podcast to discuss a series that was hyped by one of their listeners for months. Does it live up to that hype? Short answer: yes. And not just because your hosts are coming out of 80+ episodes of crap with Samurai and Megaforce . The characters are fun, the acting is good, and the stories are “old school.” That ending, though…Nathan fought hard not to “rantmaster” it. So hard. But his co-hosts poked the Bearzord. At least it came on the heels of a thematic discussion on selflessness since that’s what it took for an Energem to choose someone as a Ranger. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 20: Power Rangers (Super) Megaforce
Longest…episode…yet! On the…worst…PR series…ever! We’re as surprised you are. Strap in, Listeners with Attitude, because just when Nathan and Michael thought it couldn’t get worse than Turbo and Operation Overdrive , the Neo-Saban era breaks their brains. Mitch from the “Entertain This!” podcast joins them to discuss the emptiest Power Ranger season they’ve ever seen. Seriously, all but one of the characters is prettier than they are talented; the villains are lame; and the so-called “Legendary Battle” is anything but! Michael (sadly) limits Nathan to only two Rantmaster sessions, but boy, did he use them! However, the most ironic thing is this abysmal season inspired a top tier thematic discussion: nostalgia.

To kick off the Neo-Saban and Hasbro Eras, Michael and Nathan bring on Jimmy and Billy of the Zeo to Hero podcast—which leads to some sibling squabbles between the guests! Why? Because Billy requested to guest host for Power Rangers Samurai . This series infamously adapted its Sentai counterpart, Shinkenger , exactly, going so far as to have a Caucasian red ranger with a Japanese last name. Then they set it in the most western-looking “Japanese” city ever. Talk about awkward! Nathan loses his mind over how awful the premiere is—even going so far as to issue an apology to the Turbo movie! When Rantmaster apologizes, you know it’s bad. But is it the worst they’ve seen?

Episode 18: Power Rangers RPM | Ft. Chris Cooke
The Disney era ends with the biggest of bangs with one of the most popular series in the franchise: Power Rangers RPM . This is so huge, Michael and Nathan had to get in gear by inviting RPM super-fan Chris Cooke (One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade) to discuss it—and the episode is as long as the series! This is the darkest Ranger show yet, and it was adapted from a silly Sentai! This shouldn’t work—but does it? Michael saw it before, but he didn’t remember liking it. Did he change his mind? Nathan went in wanting the hype to be real. Was he disappointed? All these questions and much, much more will be answered in today’s Power Trip! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 17: Power Rangers Jungle Fury
Nathan and Michael, having survived Operation Overdrive , come to the penultimate Disney era season: Power Rangers Jungle Fury . On the surface, it just looks like another animal-themed series, but they quickly learned it’s steeped in martial arts movie tropes. Think of it as the lovechild of Wild Force and Ninja Storm . The Rangers’ mentor/ purple Wolf Ranger, RJ, steals every scene he’s in with his quirky Mr. Miyagi wisdom. The villains are a huge highlight, having the most depth and complexity of any bad guys since the late Saban era. Throw in a thematic discussion about proving yourself, and you have everything you could want from “ya boys” at The Power Trip! ----------------------------------------------- CHECK OUT THE DRIFT SPACE: https://linktr.ee/thedriftspace ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 16 - Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive
Believe it or not, Nathan issues the smallest of apologies to Power Rangers Turbo ! And Michael snaps because there’s no nostalgia or a corset to save this series. Yes, the lowest of valleys for the Disney era, Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive . It has a solid premiere and a few good episodes. It showed what this season could’ve been but wasn’t, which makes it even more frustrating. Almost nothing in Overdrive works—especially a certain son of a certain pair of iconic Power Ranger villains. The filmmakers even screwed up the footage from the vastly superior Super Sentai! Scrap in, Listeners with Attitude, because Rantmaster and the Blue Streak Ranger are about to wreck this show! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 15: Power Rangers Mystic Force
Podcastros temporarium maximus! Welcome to Power Rangers Hogwarts, er, Mystic Force . This PR season was made at the height of “Pottermania,” and given it was filmed in New Zealand, it must’ve been trying to catch some of that Lord of the Rings , well, magic. It’s unique in both the Power Ranger and Super Sentai franchises with its focus on high fantasy. It’s just too bad it’s mildly obsessed with its Red Ranger, Nick, who isn’t the most likable guy. It’s an uneven season, for sure. Also, Nathan and Michael discuss the theme of honor—and Nathan schools his very Edna Mole-ish co-host on the awesomeness of capes. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 14: Power Rangers SPD (feat. J.R. Villers of The Drift Space)
The Disney Era leg of our journey through the Power Rangers franchise continues with Power Rangers SPD , and Michael and Nathan are joined by their friend J.R. Villers of The Drift Space podcast. J.R. is a mega-fan of this series, while Nathan and Michael are watching it for the first time—and are surprised by how good it is. The show has many elements that, in lesser hands, would’ve been stupid, but here they work. It breaks the PR formula a bit with its episode structure, among other things, and shows that Rangers can be heroic police officers. Shockingly, the Quantum Ranger is dethroned by Doggie Cruger as Nathan’s favorite Sixth Ranger! After an in-depth discussion of the show’s many great characters, your hosts have a deep thematic discourse on leadership. ----------------------------------------------- CHECK OUT THE DRIFT SPACE: https://linktr.ee/thedriftspace ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Dr. Tommy Oliver barely escapes from a mysterious island crawling with dinosaur mutants before it explodes. Some years later, he lives a quiet life as a high school science teacher. But when the evil saurian overlord Mesogog sets his sights on bringing back the age of dinosaurs, Tommy jump-kicks into action by collecting the Dino Gems. These artifacts choose three unlikely teens from very different worlds with a Dino Thunder power-up (ha!) to defend the world. As their battles with Mesogog and his minions rage on, Tommy becomes a Ranger once more and another young man with secret ties to a very divided Mesogog joins the legacy of power. ----------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE TO KAIJU KIM ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/Godzilla101 ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Nathan and Michael reach the first true Disney season, Power Rangers Naruto, er, Power Rangers: Ninja Storm . These Rangers—no joke—have a guinea pig as their mentor, and this show is Disney’s guinea pig for the franchise. Its equal parts experimentation and trend-following. It introduces fourth wall-breaking self-parody while embracing the popularity of extreme sports at the time. The show also gets back to its MMPR roots by having a lighter tone and comedic villains. It doesn’t always work, but you can’t blame them for trying.

Episode 11: Power Rangers Wild Force
Michael and Nathan come to what some call the end of the Saban Era (which they don’t) or the start of the Disney Era (which they do) of Power Rangers: Power Rangers Wild Force . This transitional season is an odd hodgepodge of both Saban and Disney sensibilities. To say it’s uneven would be an understatement. On one hand, it’s compelling and dark when the villain Zen-Aku is on screen, but it’s also heavy-handed and saccharine when Kite/Animus is the focus. The latter even brings “Rantmaster” back for a hot minute.

Episode 10: Power Rangers Time Force
Make time for…Time Force! You’re gonna need some quantum power to listen to this. Longest. Episode. EVER!!! But it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Michael and Nathan would dive deep into the final Saban Era season that was so dark and grown-up, it really aired in primetime before The X-Files . This season has everything: time travel, robots, and mutants. It’s at once embedded in its time while also timeless (see what I did there?). Yes, it reminds us The Matrix just came out, but it also tackles themes that are as relevant—if not more so—now as ever. It also has one of the all-time great Pink Rangers in Jen Scott and Nathan’s sixth Ranger man crush in Eric Myers (Michael already has his, so it’s only fair).

Episode 09: Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
Nathan and Michael get to the neglected middle child of the post-Zordon Saban Era: Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue . It’s underrated and underappreciated because it’s sandwiched between two popular and excellent seasons. While it has its faults—it tries and fails to recapture the magic of “Green with Evil,” it crams in too many plotlines, and the villainous Vypra is prettier than she is talented—it also has some good characters, an original Ranger, and a solid finale. Your hosts discuss how service and heroism permeate the season in The Power Trip’s trademark theme section—after joking about a reality TV spinoff of LSR revolving around the demons.

Episode 08 - Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy
Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy marks a crossroads for the franchise—and for Michael! This was the season where Saban Entertainment fully embraced the Super Sentai model with new characters and a new team every year. Even so, this is sometimes grandfathered into the Zordon Era because it does carry over a few things from the previous season, like Alpha-5 and the Astro Mega Ship. But this is also where Michael’s nostalgia for Power Rangers ends (so hopefully he gets more objective after this). Meanwhile, Nathan gets to gush over his girl Karone (Melody Perkins) again, and now she’s a Ranger…it’s just sad it came after the one of the most shocking moments in Ranger history: the death of a Ranger. But before that, we get one of the most perfect episodes of Power Rangers ever with the In Space/Lost Galaxy team-up.

Episode 07: Power Rangers In Space
The rumors of a three-hour PowerPoint (ba-dum-tsh) presentation were untrue—it’s 2.5 hours. Like Nathan said in the previous episode, Power Rangers Turbo broke the franchise’s leg so Power Rangers In Space could put it in a splint, run, and then break the splint while sprinting. In fact, the franchise flies higher than ever before—and it inspires the “professor” side of Nathan to come out and educate Michael. It also gives Nathan an excuse to be a raving Astronema fanboy (“best villain in Power Rangers,” he says). Nathan also lectures on redemption, the symbolism of Astronema’s wigs, and finding yourself.

They hit all the usual topics with this low point of the franchise—Justin (aka “Power Kenny”), the laughable villains, Bulk and Skull as monkeys—and have a discussion about identity crisis as a meta-textual theme for Turbo since Power Rangers had forgotten who it was and lost its way. The silver lining? This season broke its leg so the next one could put it in a splint and run so hard, it broke the braces. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Lightning Round #3: An Interview with Karl Dutton, Creator of Power Rangers: The Audio Drama
Here’s a special “Lightning Round” for you today, Listeners with Attitude! Michael and Nathan are joined by Karl Dutton, the founder of Scyther Audio Drama Podcasts, which includes Power Rangers: The Audio Drama. Yes, after referencing it in nearly every episode of The Power Trip so far, its creator graces your hosts with his presence. They discuss everything from the Audio Drama’s beginnings (which are connected to a certain movie that will be discussed later this year on the podcast) to writing these iconic characters in a fresh way to upcoming storylines in the Audio Drama—and everything in between! It’s morphin’ time! ----------------------------------------------- Listen to Episode 14 of The Henshin Men Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/henshin-men/id1575547087?i=1000538899556 ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 05: Power Rangers Zeo
Michael and Nathan get to the first season that was radically different in more ways than one: Power Rangers Zeo . Saban took one step closer to embracing the Super Sentai formula by changing costumes, Zords, and villains! It was a paradigm shift that felt like an earthquake, but in the end, the franchise was STRONGER THAN BEFORE. With Tanya joining the team and Machine Empire usurping the Moon Crew’s claim on Earth, this season is all about displacement, both for the characters and the audience. Your morphenomenal hosts also discuss the Warrior Wheel (aka “the Danny DeVito of Zords”), Billy stepping down as a Ranger, and the many differences between this and Ohranger . Oh, and Nathan rages against Kimberly for breaking Tommy’s heart, much to Michael’s chagrin.

Michael and Nathan make their first guest appearance on a fellow Ranger podcast on Zeo to Hero, a gabfest show about all things Power Rangers, Gundam, and more. They ramble about a bunch of things—and sometimes talk about serious stuff like the Lightning Collection and prejudice. This was originally posted on the Zeo to Hero feed. The original episode description: “The Bulk and Skull of Podcasting is back at it again.

Episode 04: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Season 3) / Mighty Morphin’ Alien Rangers
We’ve reached the end of the most iconic era of Power Rangers—and it goes out with a bang and a whimper! This season has some of the highest points of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers : Lord Zedd invading the Command Center, Lord Zedd fighting Tommy, and a backdoor pilot for Masked Rider (see our crossover episode with Henshin Men for more on that). Amy Jo Johnson left the series, so fans (like Michael) had to say goodbye to their beloved Kimberly and hello to her Aussie replacement, Cat. That story should’ve been used as the model for future departures going forward, but sadly it wasn’t. This also saw the introduction of new enemies both comical (Rito) and serious (Master Vile). But the season ends with a weird miniseries called Mighty Morphin’ Alien Rangers , which sees the regular cast turned into children and replaced with extraterrestrial Rangers who talk like they’re always underwater. All this and a lot of talk about family. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Lightning Round #1: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Eps. 113-115 – ‘A Friend in Need’ | The Power Trip x Henshin Men
It's henshin time! In a special bonus episode, The Power Trip joins forces with Henshin Men! Yes, in a crossover of many firsts, Michael and Nathan are joined by their co-host in kamen (ba-dum-tsh!), Travis, from their fellow Kaiju Ramen Network podcast, Henshin Men. What could possibly bring them together? None other than the three-part backdoor pilot on Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers that introduced the world to Kamen Rider, er, Masked Rider! But while he’s a “Power guru,” Michael quickly shows he knows nothing about video games, ‘90s action movies, or comic books (“Ratchet Raccoon”?). Get ready for a discussion that touches on everything from Dune to Keita Amemiya to why Kimberly is the most capable Power Ranger—followed by the hosts arguing over which show does the awards better. This episode can also be heard on Henshin Men’s feed. ----------------------------------------------- Listen to Episode 14 of The Henshin Men Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/henshin-men/id1575547087?i=1000538899556 ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 03: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie
The Power Rangers “go, go” to the movies! Michael and Nathan discuss the Teenagers with Attitude’s first big screen outing, which was a HUGE pop culture event. Some might even say the franchise went downhill from here, but that’s debatable. This movie takes place in its own little universe, so it has no ties to the show aside from the characters and actors. The CGI is bowling shoe ugly now, but the practical effects still hold up in this, the most morphenomenal example of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey you’ll ever see. Ivan Ooze is a meme machine and Dulcea…well, she’s definitely there for the dads who escorted their kids to the theater to see this. Oh, and Nathan fact-checks Mighty Morphin’ Power Fanboy Michael on a bit of trivia. “I got the power!” ----------------------------------------------- Listen to Episode 14 of The Henshin Men Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/henshin-men/id1575547087?i=1000538899556 ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

Episode 02: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Season 2)
We have reached peak Power Rangers—at least according to Michael, because he likes low-hanging fruit named Lord Zedd. :P Joking aside, Nathan does agree that the first third of this season of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers has tremendous high points, but then the combined powers of moms and the almighty dollar wrecked it. Zedd is one of the most terrifying villains in the franchise (did Toei ever wish they could use him in a Sentai?). Tommy losing his Green Ranger powers in heroic fashion before becoming the White Ranger is surprisingly effective for a campy superhero show. But after sending three cast members to a never-ending peace conference, their replacements are…a mixed bag. To say the theme of this season is change would be an understatement.

Episode 01: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Season 1)
After a few false starts (as discussed in episode 0), lightning strikes! Five “teenagers with attitude” (and one more later) are recruited by an interdimensional wizard to battle a space witch bent on world domination. (Of course!) This season lays the groundwork for everything that follows: the tropes, the Zords, the campiness, and more. No matter how many actors have been Rangers and villains, whenever the franchise is rebooted, filmmakers use these iconic characters from season one. Nathan and Michael discuss how, thanks to Power Rangers , tokusatsu (Japanese for “special filmmaking”) was the most popular thing on kids’ TV for a hot minute. They also unpack this season’s themes, including coming-of-age stories and evil’s instinctive drive to destroy and/or corrupt what is good. For a more detailed discussion of the epic five-part story, “Green with Evil,” check out an upcoming episode of Nathan’s main podcast, The Monster Island Film Vault, which features Michael as a guest! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .

A journey of 29 seasons begins with a single episode. Michael Hamilton (Kaiju Weekly, The Kaiju Groupie Podcast) and Nathan Marchand (The Monster Island Film Vault, Henshin Men) begin their “power trip” (see what we did there?) through the Power Rangers franchise by introducing themselves, the show’s format, and the goals of the podcast. You’ll hear Michael wax nostalgic about growing up with the “Teenagers with Attitude” while Nathan explains how he’ll apply his “English major analytical skills” in each episode (because hero stories matter). Finally, they explain the awards they’ll give in each episode to things like the best one-liner and best fight scene. Yes, they stole them from Nathan’s other podcast, Henshin Men, but according to Michael, this is “the formula perfected.” It’s morphin’ time, listeners with attitude! ----------------------------------------------- Listen to Episode 14 of The Henshin Men Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/henshin-men/id1575547087?i=1000538899556 ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod .
