We’re back with our first recorded episode since the strike! Unfortunately, its kind of boring and not that much happens. Fortunately, the swabbies are there and the monster is still called Grunchor. Plus we talk about The Groose, and also try to determine what Pokemon type the Grinch is, for reasons I don’t quite remember, but I do remember he’s Normal.
We wrap up TMNT III and unfortunately it kinda starts to fall apart. How do you tell if something has scenes cut for time or the script is just bad? Why is Leonardo’s grimacing face so scary? Why is Mikey such a creeper? And at least Raph has a cute arc with a little kid, thats nice!Happy New Year to the TWA family!
Happy Holidays, Dudes! Zack, Emily and Morgan come together to discuss this often-maligned 3rd entry in the TMNT live action movies for our annual ‘Christmas’ movie.Emily argues it doesn’t deserve its reputation, Morgan uses their education to tell us exactly how bad the historical accuracy is, and Zack really, really wants you to know how hot he finds Elias Kotias.
We’re Back! The Lost Galaxy crew discover captain Mutiny’s Treachery (who could have guessed), we talk about the Swabbies, and Mysterious Boxes! Please note: This was recorded before the SAG-AFTRA strike, so the timeliness may be off, and we don’t reference the strike.
We’re back with Iris, Morgan, Fabby and Zack as we discuss an early Kamen Rider after they took a break for a few decades! Less CG and less idea of what the show needs to be means its a little weirder, a little more violent, and a little darker, but we kinda dig it! The Belt is a Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Disc! One of the Riders is a bug zombie man! The weapons are cool! And this man has a special fridge only for milk!
Magic Swords! The Historical King Arthur (but not that one). Reading is FUN-damental! Zack, Emily, Iris, and Luke tackle a disliked entry in the recent parts of the Kamen Rider franchise, Kamen Rider Saber! We love the extremely over the top henshins.. but you can see a little bit of the problems. At least they made sure we know that books could NEVER be used for evil!
Zack is joined by Emily, Morgan, Simon, and Iris to discuss the Kamen Rider that’s two boys at once, Kamen Rider W!Plus, mild surprise at the Noir theme, whether your plucky sidekick can also be a landlord, falling down a wikipedia hole, and T-Rex heads.AND we congratulate Iris and the rest of the Eidolon Playtest crew on becoming AWARD WINNING PODCASTERS.PLUS, check out our Extra Life page and join us November 5th for a gaming marathon, for the kids! https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseact...
Happy Birthday Dear OOO’s! It’s Kamen Rider OOO’s with Zack, Morgan, and Emily, as they talk about the sweet loser ska boy who’s boyfriend is a disembodied floating arm but somehow still fabulous!Featuring a CEO obsessed with birthday cakes, a vending machine that’s also a motorcycle, and octopus shaped flying drones that form a floating skybridge, this one is wild, y’all!
Emily, Fabby, and her wife Marie, and returning and beloved host Mike convene to talk about a Kamen Rider Anniversary season that… SORT of has returning characters but not really, and also the main Kamen Rider may or may not literally kill everyone? Listen to Marie and Fabby try to explain as Mike, Emily and Zack desperately try to keep up.We do of course all agree that the first 2 minutes are the craziest shit we’ve ever seen.
It’s time for Kamen Rider Build! We have experienced Kamen Rider’s Morgan and Fabby at odds over this series (in a friendly rival way as is KR tradition of course), Emily likes both of the Boys in this one, and Simon gets to be the newcomer on this one!We talk about the good (Goofy special effects, fast and efficient characterization, and fun costume gimmicks) and the bad (treatment of women, confusing exposition) and Zack really, really likes Ryuga!
Zack is joined by Luke, Ashley, and Iris in the Inaugural episode of our SAG Strike Kamen Rider discussions to talk about Kamen Rider Zero One from 2019! The crew discusses shitty theme parks, irritating comedians, how fun it is to shout “BULLET” in a robot voice, and the inherent hilarity of a man with robot abs! Thank you for your support of both us and SAG!
Hello Friends!Zack has an announcement about how and why the SAG-AFTRA strike will affect TWA, what you can do to help the Union, and what we have in store in the meantime. We have not hammered out the exact details, but we have something fun planned and we hope you will stick around!You can donate to the SAG-AFTRA financial assistance fund here: https://sagaftra.foundation/emergencyfinancialassistance/
The Mythic Rovers have returned to get in touch with themselves in nature… but unfortunately Misery Corp is going to try to exploit a little friendly competition for their own evil ends!Trish tries to hide that she doesn’t know how to do… much of anything camping wise, Sable grapples with her inner programming, Diane discovers something of a leadership streak, and Ozzie… I mean Ozzie pranks a bear, I don’t know what you thought was going to happen.
We have entered the lost galaxy, folks! Which is apparently a thing!Join us as we discuss some Rando Scientists replacing Kendrix, Kai meeting at least the 3rd ancient mysterious warrior of the season, and poems that extremely don’t rhyme. Plus we talk a little bit about the Mario movie and Zack’s Cat interrupts the recording.
This week, Karone ropes Damon into a Science Fair project that determines one of the most important positions on Terra Venture for some reason, and we meet our new most hated enemy, some nerd named Baxter. But at least Karone and Damon are fun together, plus Emily’s mom weighs in on shirtless Leo.
Karone is officially a ranger, and this episode we get to see with her grapple with her past as a villain… kinda. Y’know, it’s power rangers, it doesn’t go that deep.Also Leo is here to undercut any character growth by stealing the show!Plus we find out about the illustrious career of a stunt performer in the episode, again, and also marvel at his INCREDIBLE Imdb photo.
This is it! (Some of) The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers return for a reunion! And we’ve gathered our own all star cast of Zack, Emily, Luke, Victor, and Lucas to discuss it! We talk about what works (the acting, the new character Minh) and what doesn’t (the writing, mostly) and talk about the LORE implications, of course. Thank YOU all for listening and we hope you enjoy this big ass episode!
Victor and Lucas join Zack to talk about King-Ohger, Power Rangers updates, and give their expert opinions on Cosmic Fury.Plus, we have finally arrived at the only Power Rangers death in the show (at least so far). We get a lot of cool ideas that aren’t followed up on at all, and finally get some concrete proof that too much Pink Power is ACTUALLY dangerous.
The Mythic Rovers are back for more in this second Holiday Special! Ozzy is up to their old pranks again but at hyper speed, and Diane tries to help Trish sneak out to a concert, but Sable might narc on them both!

Its time for some Cringe, as the kids say, as we check in on Leos’s love life before we get back to the plot. We meet the ultimate in over-protective brothers, who MAYBE wins us over by the end due to being one of the most unexpectedly decorated actors in the show? Plus, we discuss the newest TMNT/Power Rangers team up comics new designs!
Its a double guest ep! Zack is joined by Iris and new friend Morgan to discuss a weird own-goal sexism episode of power rangers. Plus, we get more reactions to the Dino Fury suits, and talk about how the Sentai gets this one right!
We catch up on a bunch of Power Rangers News, including information about the 30th Anniversary Special, as well as the first Female Red Ranger!Plus, we talk about whats up with this weird mantis guy and how the hell Leo seems to be able to talk to the galactabeasts with extreme clarity!
This week, join Luke, Zack, and Iris as we get the Commander Stanton spotlight episode you’ve always wanted, along with Kai learning a valuable lesson about thinking for yourself. Except we maybe argue he shouldn’t have? Plus the return of Stanton’s Daughter just in time for Iris and Luke’s return, and we discuss Pokemon and the difference between Honkai Impact and Genshin Impact!
Aaaand We are back in the Lost Galaxy!! We celebrate being back on power rangers by having Fabby talk about Magic The Gathering, and then talk about Damon's Mechanic skills, Terra Ventures fascist dictatorship, and doing a Kegler Stand!
