Teenagers With Attitude

Iris joins us once again as we get all excited for the “Vypra tricks a mermaid into dating Chad” episode, and listen, its fun! But we simply could not have expected the Egg Heist Episode. But also we DO finally figure out why Chad was selected as a ranger! We're kind of all over the place in this one, we talk about Warframe, “The Snaggletooth Voice”, the time the Flintstones committed genocide, which head of state we think Macavity assassinated, one of the weirdest single episode characters in power rangers, A Series of Incredible Costumes, and more!

In the first episode we cover today, the inter-villain drama “heats” up while the rangers get frozen. In the second one, Ms. Fairweather is clearly in an incestuous relationship with her brother, and all the rangers gaslight Joel for daring to suggest it. Look there's a little bit of a wild shift between the two episodes this week ok?

Merry Christmas! We continue our tradition as Luke, Ava, Morgan and Emily join Zack to discuss a movie that bafflingly continues to live in the global consciousness: Goodburger, starring Keenan and Kel. We discuss the two's mismatched careers and legacy, this movie's confusing use of Sinbad and Carmen Electra (and Abe Vigoda?!), the disgusting look of Mondo Burgers, and the high and low use of late 90s “random'“ comedy. Also, the “I'm A Dude” Ska cover.

The Rangers are able to (Barely) stop Queen Bansheera from returning, but Ryan decides to go search for a way to trap her permanently. That's fine and all, but really what's important here is that Joel gets completely upstaged in front of Ms. Fairweather by his Billy-Level-Genius cousin. Plus: That's right its the Omega Megazord, it has an incredibly dumb name but… it's kind of great?!

The crew talks a lot about Pokemon and Pokemon likes for a while, and then Impus Pokemon evolves into Olympius, so technically that means it was all on topic! All the ranger actors take turns playing the hammiest version of Secret Evil Villain they can muster and then blame Carter for falling for it. And finally, Captain Mitchell and Carter go on a nice picnic date and we all almost decide we finally like Captain Mitchell before he does maybe the creepiest thing he's done all series!

Simon & Morgan join Zack to discuss Diaboloco almost murdering a demon baby, too many Megazords, an extremely scientific understanding of Solar Panels, and Ryan solving his curse by dropping an ancient Egyptian temple on it.

We delve into the backstory of Captain Mitchell and his long lost son, Ryan, and get our first American only ranger, our first evil 6th ranger since Tommy, and the worst Secret Safe Management we've ever seen on the show! Plus: Where has Ryan been the whole time? What's the timeline with Diaboloco? And why were the Rangers so extremely willing to just Shoot That Man To Death?

In an incredibly weird move, Power Rangers decides to, in the 8th season, just have a Regular Robber Guy hold up a bus with a Regular Gun, and THEN tries to explain to kids sometimes you make a mistake but that doesn't make you bad? And then in the next episode they get a new Megazord that isn't nearly as good as the original Megazord. Look its a weird two episodes!

Matt joins us once again as we FINALLY get our Chad spotlight episode, in which we have perhaps one of the most insane setups we've had in forever: A man tries to beat up a power ranger, knowingly, to get laid. We discuss this obviously toxic relationship, Chad's incredible pre and PR resume, and Matt has an owl based surprise!

The rangers face off against the most dangerous foe yet: a go cart with some wings taped to it!This is, of course, also the week that they forget they have giant robots. The good news is Carter levels up and learns how to shoot a pistol while also driving a motorcycle, so he's quickly shooting up the ranks of red rangers.

Join us as we discuss the rangers running an obstacle course, and Carter gets the best time! But wait! Captain Mitchell is here to tell him he did a bad job and not explain!We talk about Captain Mitchell's management methods, Carter's make-a-wish service, and what exactly is going on with this weird grocery store in Mariner Bay.

We are joined by our friend Ava to talk about Joel the Sky Cowboy absolutely bombing with a hot scientist. But at least he's got some incredible signed headshots? Also how did he even get out of the Lightspeed Aqua Base? Plus: The Lemonade that Kills You, and Iris fights Zack's Wife while Morgan is simply skeptical of her preferences.

We're here, its time for Operation Lightspeed!We discuss: What the hell is the government budget on this underwater base? What did it do BEFORE the evil demons showed up? What exactly was the criteria for deciding a Fireman and a Rock Climber were better Ranger candidates than soldiers?Plus: Is this horny or not, and, why does Simon want to fight a skeleton SO bad?!?

Our long, long journey through the Lost Galaxy has finally come to an end, friends, and it only took us TWO YEARS, with a multi month strike and scheduling issues, but we DID IT and we thank you for sticking with us!We discuss what we think went wrong with the season, Kendrix' return, Trakeena's very, very goopy bug form, what the hell the megazord was doing this whole time, and how the heck Mya didn't realize she was on Mironoi!We love you and can't wait to LIGHTSPEED RESCUE

We're back! Zack, Emily and Morgan are joined by Iris as they discuss friend of the show Luke's wedding, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Princess Peach Showtime, and Zack successfully not killing himself with a DIY project. Plus, Trakeena returns and immediately succeeds at destroying most of Terra Venture, Commander Stanton gets to talk on the Jumbo-Tron, and Power Rangers tries to tell us, 7 seasons in, that they DO need atmosphere to breathe, actually, and we just aren't having it.

Damon works tirelessly to save the day from a problem they truly don't bother to explain to us even a little, while Captain Mutiny uses his ultimate weapon to force a very, very long Zord Battle. Plus we talk about weird video game bugs and cool sea monsters!

Hexuba returns for her second and final appearance as the Rangers fight a bunch of unused Sentai footage they figured they'd just go ahead and get out of the way!The good news is that Hexuba looks ridiculous, she does have a pretty cool mansion, and also we talk about ghosts and video games for a while because otherwise this would have been the shortest episode we've ever recorded!

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!

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.
