This week on Castranger we discuss the goddamn banger second part of the Sabimaru-focused episodes of Gotchard, the Boonboomgers get crushed by their wealth at the hands of the ATM Monster, and then... THEN... the Kingohger VS Kyoryuger movie attempts to bridge the gaps in the timeline but ends up making an incomprehensible mess that we must forcibly untangle.
