We continue our quest in listing our favorite horror movies by the decade and we find ourselves stuck in the 90s. This week we are joined once again by “Forgotten Failures” podcast alum Lindsay Busko. Matt was scared there wouldn’t be enough 90s flicks to make a good list. Boy, was he wrong. Listen to … Continue reading "Episode 046 90’s Horror Favorites feat. Lindsay Busko"

It’s all about brains over brawn in this episode. Apparently the Power Rangers represent “brains” and Bulk and the Putties are “brawn”. Meanwhile Jason takes his nephew to the beach, introduces him to “the famous bully, Bulk” and they accidentally defeat Scorpina with a mirror. And Tommy isn’t in this one for some reason. And … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 26: Sloppy Joe Pizza

When you defund schools, you end up with the Angel Grove high school play, featuring the school’s largest student as Rumpelstiltskin, and students forced to bring in their grandmothers’ antique spinning wheels as props. Kimberly’s grandmother’s antique spinning wheel gets destroyed, and then Kimberly’s grandmother’s antique spinning wheel disappeared, and nobody seems to understand why … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 25: Kimberly’s Grandmother’s Antique Spinning Wheel

Jason. Tommy. If you want to win the inane spectacle of confusion that is the Team Ninja Finals, you’re going to need some Gung Ho. You’re going to need to learn how to Gung Ho. Rita and Finster and the Putties have mastered Gung Ho and thus created Super Putties! They are putties, but with … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 24: Gung Ho!

It’s time for the Angel Grove High School Masquerade. Everyone’s in the costume you would expect, except Alpha 5 who is attracting ALL the ladies in his Alpha 5 costume. Rita and Finster spend most of this episode getting the Putties to assemble a giant flying meatball. Meanwhile, Lindsay, Mike, Mike, and Darrill discuss Zack’s … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 23: Frankenstein’s Party

Many years ago… three people, and some other people, watched a movie called Megaforce. And this, more than any other ridiculous movie, inspired them, and one other person, to create what is now known to many as Forgotten Failures. And now… after 50 full-length episodes of wall-to-wall wackiness… we stand before you, discussing Megaforce. AND … Continue reading Episode 50: Megaforce (1982)

In this episode Kimberly and Tommy share a harrowing experience (watching Putties rough up Kimberly’s award-winning miniature parade float), which only deepens their burgeoning romance. We discuss how Angel Grove apparently hosts a nationally televised parade; the increasingly bold behavior of the Putties (appearing INSIDE the Gym and Juice — is nothing safe?), and Finster’s … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 22: The Spit Flower

Big shakeup in Rita’s management team: Finster may be out of a job because Babboo created this week’s weapon, a potion turning Billy and Kimberly into those most hated of all creatures: Punks. MikeD, MikeR and Darrill were appalled at the depiction of punks, but were intrigued by a glimpse into Zordon’s past as a … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 21: Punks and Cannibalism

Spiders, statues, HipHopKido, and Billy’s new pet mouse add up to a somewhat nondescript episode.  Meanwhile Darrill, MikeD and MikeR discuss how the Green Ranger is like a relief pitcher, how the Black Ranger abandons his students to go relax in his car, and we finally come up with a T-shirt slogan. * * * … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 20: Zords Out For Harambe

Babboo and Squatt continue undermining Finster with the glorious monster you see before you. Toka from Ninja Turtles II was cool, but he’d be cooler with a traffic light. Meanwhile Zordon teaches Trini the lore of the flowers of the Hope Mountains which helps because the turtle traffic light monster cursed her to run forever. … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 19: The Turtle Traffic Light Monster

THE DRAGONZORD AWAKENS. And the new Megazord  is black and he’s proud. The final outcome of the Green Ranger Saga is a fait accompli, with Rita and Scorpina wasted on space sangria and Tommy more interested in PUA mind games with Kimberly than beating Kimberly up. And finally, the Green Ranger and his ocarina of … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 18: THE GREEN RANGER IS NOT A JERK

Things are heating up in the Green Ranger saga, as the Green Ranger goes mano-a-mano with a fired-up Alpha 5. Finster gets jealous as Rita blots out the sun to render the Megazord helpless. The Megazord is solar-powered? The Power Rangers save Bulk and Skull from being squished in a school bus, and FINALLY AT … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 17: Green With Evil 4: Bus Of Terror

The Green Ranger takes over Goldar’s job tormenting Jason in the 420 sex dungeon. But the real story is Rita calling up her old frenemy Scorpina to help. Actually no, the real story is the producers ran out of material and stuck a dance-off in the middle of the episode, to really heighten suspense. Yes. … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 16: The Scorpina Experience

Rita told the Green Ranger to blend in and bide his time, so he instantly starts insulting everyone and threatening them with green eye lasers. The MMPRs get Alpha up and running, but Zordon is still stuck in the phantom zone. Finster fears unemployment, and Goldar gets thrown into a sex dungeon with Jason, where … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 15: THE GREEN RANGER IS A JERK

There’s a new kid in school. He’s really good at martial arts and he wears nothing but green. Rita Repulsa announces repeatedly that he’s going to be the Green Ranger. Trini and Kimberly are both wearing fly new hats. All these signs point to the possibility… that this guy might be… the Green Ranger. Wait … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 14: THE GREEN RANGER APPEARS

In the last pre-Green Ranger episode, Power Rangers has gone bonkers. Not a single good clown? ONLY evil clowns? Why so many evil clowns? Why did Rita Repulsa organize a whole carnival? Why does it take a clown to turn Trini’s niece into cardboard? Why would a clown turn into a pineapple octopus? Why are … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 13: No Clowning Around

The day has finally come. Darrill has been talking about the greatness that is Omega Cop since long before Forgotten Failures was a gleam in anyone’s eye. This week we all got introduced to the crotch-kicking, woman-collecting, oldies-listening, baseball dugout-residing, dadly adventures of John Travis, a futurecop who wants gangsters to stop selling sex slaves … Continue reading Episode 39: Omega Cop (1990)

The Power Rangers put excitement and combat on hold for this episode as Zack mopes around in the badlands because everyone forgot his birthday.  But they didn’t really! They were just pretending. And they were trying to get the Cake-O-Matic to work. Finster sends down Nasty Nate to attack, but his heart isn’t in it. … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 12: Happy Birthday Zack

Remember Mr. Ticklesneezer? Oh boy, if you don’t, you must have repressed the memory. Mr. Ticklesneezer is an unforgettable character. A real tragic archetype, like Lennie in Of Mice And Men. Meanwhile Rita Repulsa laments her rigorous childhood, Billy wastes his genius on a pathetic volcano, and Trini auditions for Puppet Master VI. * * … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 11: For Whom The Bell Trolls

This episode is one third The Snizard, two thirds Kimberly trying to land her uncle’s plane under the expert guidance of Alpha 5. But we tire of The Snizard, and move on to discuss the increased non-Japanese, non-Gym and Juice content in recent episodes. And! the amazing career of the guy who voiced Alpha 5. … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 10: Uncle Steve

So the Blue Ranger cloned himself, overalls and all, and now his young ward is entering a virtual reality rollercoaster in the school science fair, against top contenders Disintegration Ray and Funky Fashion Machine. Meanwhile we FINALLY see Bulk in a dress, and Rita enlists the services of Eye Guy. You can’t miss him, he’s … Continue reading Minisode: Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 9: I, Eye Guy

So the new gritty Power Rangers costumes are being unveiled? Back in our day the Power Rangers was about spherical pig-beasts, food fights, wacky body-switch shenanigans, and dog-faced genies wearing giant earrings and wielding silly string. Plus: we introduce you to the guy who played Zordon! * * * [mp3] Download or play this episode … Continue reading Minisode: Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 08

Today we are introduced to the Power Eggs. What is the significance of the Power Eggs? Who knows. This is an episode of firsts: The first news broadcast about the MMPRs, the first time the Putties accomplish something, and the first time the the MMPRs form an unholy pentagram. But mainly it’s an episode about … Continue reading Minisode: Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 07

Episode 6 (Food Fight) has two plot elements. First is the food fight. Every food in the school food festival costs $20, and nobody wants to buy but everyone wants to throw. Second is Finster’s worst creation ever, as he admits — a deformed Madball-shaped pig-creature sent to eat all of earth’s food. Finally, Darrill … Continue reading Minisode: Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 06

Rita has a new plan, to harness the power of music via new favorite character the Naughty Gnome (Gnarly Gnome?). Rita always has a new plan, inspiring us all. When will this plucky gal catch a break? When will stoner bro Finster get down to business? And where are Alpha 5 and Zardoz? * * … Continue reading Minisode: Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 05
