For the 45th time, Rider Break! returns as Hiroshi Fujioka returns as Takeshi Hongō, who returns after 45 years (maybe?) in the 45th Anniversary movie Kamen Rider 1 , as Kamen Rider returns to the big screen and Rider Break! returns as well. Hongō returns to Japan, meeting faces old and new. Shocker once again looms large, but is now split in two. Despite a beefy new appearance and an updated version of the Cyclone, something is wrong with our hero, and with each breath and battle, the end draws...

Rider 3 confronts his destiny, Drive confronts mind-controlled damn near everyone, and Igadevil confronts trying to keep his food down in the sense-shattering conclusion to the Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3 review. After that, Craig and I talk about our hypothetical team-up movies that will probably never happen. Then again, I once thought a movie with Kamen Rider 3 would never happen, so who knows? Also, Rider Break bids a farewell to Masayuki Izumi, Kamen Rider Faiz's own Yuki Kiba/Horse...

Hey uh, weren't we talking about a movie or something? In This Episode: • Rider Break! took off close to 5 months because my life is a neverending cycle of pain. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you all soon. Soon. Soooooooon... • Part 2 (of 3) which is actually the first part of the spoiler-filled review/recap of Kamen Rider x Super Sentai Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3 where I told Craig of The Repacked Podcast all about the movie, months ago. Confused yet? • This part of the review contains...

In the first of a probable trilogy of episodes, Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3 is discussed by one person who hasn't seen the movie yet, and one who has but can barely remember what he did last week. This part is mostly spoiler-free, and just covers my initial feelings, reactions and stuff you'll have already know unless you were without internet access for the past several months. In This Episode: • Rider Break! has now set a record for how many times a podcast can die and return, approxim...

Kamen Rider Drive is just hours away, and Kamen Rider Gaim has had 46 47 weeks (plus a few weekends off for golf, Super Sentai crossovers, etc.) to tell a tale of Armored Riders warring all so that a DJ can make one of them into a space god to save Christmas. Or something. I wasn't really paying much attention, but I did like that Bravo fella. Fortunately this episode I'm joined by Craig & Nikki from The Repacked Podcast to figure all this stuff out! In This Episode: • Rider Break! is back. ...

Can the classic and modern (and guys that are like 15 years old but we'll still pretend they're sorta modern) Riders put aside their vaguely-defined differences in time to save the world? Will Shu reunite with his mother? Will Super Sentai actually show up? Who will survive, and what will be left of them? It's an overlong, incoherent nonsensical monstrosity... but enough about this episode of Rider Break! Listen in as Heisei Riders vs. S hōwa Riders: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai conclud...

At long last, Igadevil & Rider Break! return for the gajillionth time to bring you the overdue epic mess of a review for Heisei Riders vs. Sh ō wa Riders: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai ... less than 48 hours before the movie comes out on home video! It's a Rider Break! so big, we had to Rider Break! it in half! Exclamation points! In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns for the second third fourth hundredth millionth bajillionth gajillionth time, utterly failing to produce any new ep...

Fujioka & Hayami are back to show the new kids how we do it old-school this spring. Igadevil is back and is so excited, he has no clue how to string together a coherent sentence. Fortunately, he has some help from Down Under. In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns for the bajillionth time, utterly failing to produce any new episodes since October 2013! There's reasons, but I don't get into those this week. • For the first time ever, the show has a guest host! Craig of the Repacked Podcast j...

Rider Break! is back with another "live" first reaction, this time to the first episode of Kamen Rider Gaim ! Is it a fresh new direction for the series, or did the months of waiting just amount to a crate of old fruit rotting in a run-down warehouse? Expect no clear answer to this question, plus more! In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns to its normal schedule of releasing once in a blue moon, but fortunately in October there will be a few more blue moons. This time, I talk over the entirety...

My "live" first reaction to the new footage of Kamen Rider Gaim ! And while waiting for that to air, I watched Super Hero Taisen (with commercial interruptions) and pondered the colors of good and evil, the true nature of insanity, and the timeless beauty that dwells within everything. Also: Shôtarô and Gentarô feel each other up. In This Episode: • Rider Break! is back in less than a month as I woke up for a 6 AM "live" recording of the Kamen Rider Gaim trailer, preceded by Super Hero Taisen , ...

Don't worry, I liked the movies. That title just made me laugh far, far more than it really should have. Igadevil and Rider Break! return with new hardware, a new remix of the theme song, and a new double feature summer film to review with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Gaburincho of Music / Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land. So it's sort of like episode 14 of the original Kamen Rider only not as exciting and with less explosions. Plus, one more farewell to the other man who made Kamen Rider. In This E...

It's a kind of magic. This episode was originally released on 12/25/2012 In This Episode: • At long last, I talk about Kamen Rider Wizard . The first 16 episodes, the entire 2012 run of the show, the whole shebang. Wizard, Wizard and nearly nothing but Wizard . • And that's it! Yes, this is a "Christmas" episode in the way Ryuki 's was: Santa's in there somewhere. • Obviously, spoilers for every episode of Wizard so far, plus minor ones for Faiz, Kiva and the Blade movie (minor as in, if you've ...

Episodes Notes: • Music used includes: "Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by ...

Joe and the gang are back for the brand-new movie 009 RE:CYBORG . Can they come together to save the world once more from the vaguely-defined threat of misleading MIBS, an enigmatic "voice", and allegiance-confused cybernetic stormtroopers? Or do they even need to? Warning! Spoilers ahead if anyone actually cares! This episode was originally released on 10/28/2012 In This Episode: • A "review" of 009 RE:CYBORG • As opposed to, you know, Kamen Rider. • Seriously, next episode better have a lot of...

Rider Break! returns (again) as Igadevil checks out the new Space Sheriff Gavan movie. But only because Date is in it, I swear. Warning! There be spoilers ahead. This episode was originally released on 10/21/2012 In This Episode: • It's a review of Space Sheriff Gavan: THE MOVIE by someone who confesses to be little more than a "casual fan" of the source material.

With time running out and destiny drawing near, Rider Break! ventures into controversial territory with an examination of the last two episodes of Kamen Rider Decade . Three years on, is it still the destroyer of fans, or a misunderstood masterpiece? Also, how many Rider finales can get spoiled while just trying to cover one!?
