Toku Takeout!

Well! Didn't expect to be back so soon after announcing a hiatus, but inspiration struck me while I was in the shower. Here we are with the inagural episode for Season Two of Toku Takeout! It's a short one - but from here I can keep episodes coming hard and fast, or the runtime could grow with the topics. Let's feel this out together. Welcome back!

After a bit of a break for life stuff, Cole and Tam return with a little update on Marvel's Ultraman comic, some upcoming Battle for the Grid DLC, and two more episodes of Gokaiger! We made it to episode 11, gang! Woo!

This week Tam & Cole talk a little bit about some changes that could be coming to the podcast - and then jump into the Gokaiger watchalong with the episodes The Big Abare with the Dinosaur Robot Drill and Armor of the 15 Warriors!

Does Power Rangers make sense in today's world? Should we continue to "adapt" Japanese media? Cole & Tam discuss! Then follow along as we watch two more episodes of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

We catch up with Cole's pivot to video, and acknowledge the elephant in the room: services to legally stream or purchase Tokusatsu media in the US/North America! Did you know Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER premiered in the US for the first time? Also, do you know alternative services for other countries? Let us know so we can feature them in future episodes! Then we continue our watchalong of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger with two more episodes, "It's Still Time For Traffic Safety" and "A Privateer Appears".

Toku Takeout returns after a week off! We asked for your favorite Toku shows that aren't Super Sentai, Kamen Rider or Ultraman. Give a listen to find out everyone's favorites, then stick around for the next episodes on our Pirate Sentai Gokaiger watchalong - "The Guaranteed Showy Samurai" and "Tell Me the Way". Thank you @K8TBenoit for our rad theme song!

June is Pride month! We read what your favorite LGBT Toku characters & actors are and briefly touch on a few more before continuing our watchalong of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

This week, Cole returns and we talk a little bit about one of the women behind the cameras - Yasuko Kobayashi. We also continue our watchalong of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger with the episodes "Little Spy Tactics" and "The Lion, Runs". Thank you again to @K8TBenoit for the awesome theme song!

Tam and Cole introduce one of the fathers of Tokusatsu, Shotaro Ishinomori. After, they also watch two more episodes of Gokaiger! Thank you to @K8TBenoit for the new theme song! What do you think of it?

We return this week with a format shake up, news about the latest DLC content teased for Battle for the Grid, a bite-sized sample of Thundercats Roar, and a watch of Gokaiger episodes 4 and 5. Henshin and join us, everyone!

Suddenly finding themselves in a post-SheRa world, our hosts turn their attention to the 35th Super Sentai: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

We're thrilled to present the first episode of our new podcast, Toku Takeout! Please join two fans of tokusatsu as we discuss a little bit about what toku is and what it means to us, and talk about what this podcast is all about!
