Hey there PopGeek Commandoes, and perhaps... some of the OG crew from HJU Radio times? Welcome! If this is your first time, I've been doing a new podcast. Where we talk about movies, TV, the creative process and all things geek. For me, Power Rangers will always be in my blood. So it's sincerely my supreme pleasure to be able to sit down with one of the greatest Red Power Rangers of all time. Christopher Khayman Lee, who played Andros on Power Rangers in Space, joins us with his brother in arms D.j. Rivers, who directed the jaw dropping BLOODLINE OF THE GRID! We talk about Power Rangers, what it was like on set, the creative process of bringing Andros back to the screen and all the interesting and happy accidents that happened along the way. Click on in and enjoy. Red Couch Raiders: Keith Justice Hayward (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook) Christopher Khayman Lee (Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, IMDB) D.j. Rivers (YouTube, Actor Access, IMDB)
Welcome back to the bridge of Couch Command, Sci-Fighters! This week me and the team take on the 1985 sci-fi classic…. LIFEFORCE!!!Some of you, who may have once been HJU Radio listeners (I’ll bring that back someday… I’m tryin’ at least..), may recognize a familiar voice! Vangelus of the prolific WTF @ TFW Tranformers Podcast joins us deep dive on the honry-craziness of LIFEFORCE.Before we dive into the movie, we geek on and on about… the Transformers TCG, Food Wars, video games like Monster Train, 80’s martial art movies and a little Ultraman Z as well. And since we have Vangelus on, you know we gotta dabble a little into some Kamen Rider.But, I understand that you might have a life, and if you want; you can totally scrub directly to the movie review at the time of stamp: 1:08:37Grab your iron stake, punch the throttle of your space shuttle and hope that you survive the sci-fi vampire apocalypse as we review….

Kamen Rider Drive is just hours away, and Kamen Rider Gaim has had 46 47 weeks (plus a few weekends off for golf, Super Sentai crossovers, etc.) to tell a tale of Armored Riders warring all so that a DJ can make one of them into a space god to save Christmas. Or something. I wasn't really paying much attention, but I did like that Bravo fella.Fortunately this episode I'm joined by Craig & Nikki from The Repacked Podcast to figure all this stuff out!In This Episode: • Rider Break! is back. Hey, it was quicker than last time. There's several episodes being edited right now (Kikaider REBOOT, that Damned Q&A, and yet another one that isn't about Kamen Rider at all!) but very likely the next one will be about Kamen Rider Drive episode 1 anyway. But hey, that's a lot of Rider Breakage on the way!• Yes, actual human contact! Craig makes his return, and our mutual pal Nikki also chimes in as we discuss general thoughts on the most-recently-finished and soon-to-air Kamen Rider series. I still do a lot of the talking (per their choice) but it's always good to get some more voices in the mix. You can hear all three of us talk toys every week over at The Repacked Podcast.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp"JUST LIVE MORE" by Shōnan no Kaze (TV Size) Get it on amazon.co.jpSound & music from the Kamen Rider Drive deluxe belt ad• As mentioned, this episode was recorded Thursday, October 2nd. More news, reviews & bits of juicy info have been released since then (such as the title of the next Movie War.) During recording we used the Kamen Rider Drive tumblr which compiled all the scans together nicely, as well as The Tokusatsu Network for information (they've got a great interview with Riku Sanjo that just went up not long after we recorded this.) The Drive toy ad mentioned can be found here (At least as of October 2014.)• We mention HJU Radio here and there; if you want a more comprehensive analysis of Gaim that'll probably be the place to hear it (and probably not from me, because I won't have gotten a chance to rewatch the whole show this time!) This episode's really more of a general thoughts type deal, very free-flowing (which is why we jump around from one show to the other near the end.)• I think there are two points where I started to form an idea, then went off on a tangent and never returned. One is about episode 46, and if that had been the actual ending. What I was going to say was that I'd still probably be okay with it. But for me, if 46 is the "Gaim" ending, episode 47 feels like the "Kamen Rider" ending for the show (if that makes any sense), and it brings 46 up a little more in my book. Now the penultimate chapter is more like the close of Kōta/Kaito/Mai/Sagara's story, with a 'final battle' that is more bittersweet in nature. Whereas 47 wraps up (most) everyone else, and has that Hell Yeah Rider Final Battle in it. They're two parts of a whole to me.The other was Marika/Yoko, who I don't think I really gave a clear answer on (she is probably my favorite character in the show, but a lot of that is down to liking the actress. I think Minami Tsukui could lead a series, she's that good.) What I'm trying to get at is that while her ultimate fate doesn't spoil the whole show (for me; but I understand if it does for you) it is one of the parts I'm having the hardest time figuring out. I'd love to know if Urobuchi or anybody commented on it.• Yes, I know that every non-Rider badass rival villain reminds me of Apollo Geist. That's pretty much down to Apollo Geist being that great and memorable of a character. I like him about as much as I like Doctor Shinigami/Ikadevil, and I like Doctor Shinigami/Ikadevil more than is probably healthy.• My big thanks to Craig for soldiering it out (he was coming off of a cold) and Nikki as well (who had to jump away from the computer a couple times.) They will return some day. And they're not the only ones! I'm always looking for interesting new voices to come on and talk all things Rider or Tokusatsu. At least, once I get the current crop of episodes squared away.• And yes, that Q&A episode is STILL actually happening!Timestamps:00:00 - Watch those speakers!Around 35 minutes in - Drive talk begins (and eventually returns to Gaim.)01:32:55 - The end! Man, that Kamen Rider Drive just can't wait to start, can he?• Thanks for listening!Get The EpisodeDownload hereRider Break! on iTunesOr listen here:

Fujioka & Hayami are back to show the new kids how we do it old-school this spring. Igadevil is back and is so excited, he has no clue how to string together a coherent sentence. Fortunately, he has some help from Down Under.In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns for the bajillionth time, utterly failing to produce any new episodes since October 2013! There's reasons, but I don't get into those this week.• For the first time ever, the show has a guest host! Craig of the Repacked Podcast joins in to discuss the exciting news about Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai. Primarily this consists of me talking, and him making the episode actually interesting to listen to. Basically, I just recorded and edited down the kind of chats we have every week.• Various things are touched on, such as the current status of the classic Rider actors, the aging (or lack thereof) of cyborgs, what I like the Kamen Rider name to stand for (most of the time) and the shocking true origin of the Henshin pose! Which I'm sure I've mentioned before somewhere else!Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp"Sega Saturn, Shiro!" by MoJo (yes, that one)• As the conversation was recorded via Skype Recorder, it's a bit more muffled than the usual level of audio quality for the latest episodes (but probably better than earlier Rider Break! episodes.) This was my decision as it was just an experiment and something I thought up on the quick. I might stick with this in the future, or try the "everybody records and I edit later" approach like the pros! We'll see.• This was recorded on Saturday, January 18th, and has now gone on the site a few days later, so it was before the first real trailer hit. I had seen a variation of it in theaters, minus the Rider 1 vs. Gaim bit at the end, and I wasn't sure at the time if Haruto was in the movie or not (he is.) Also, we did indeed record that HJU Radio episode the next day!• The time-displaced Samurai movie I was trying to think of is called Ghost Warrior in the US, and SF Sword Kill in Japan.• As we mention more than a few times, check out the Repacked Podcast. I'm on it sometimes!• My deepest thanks again go to Craig for being a good sport and joining in to keep things flowing. As mentioned, this won't be the last episode to feature a guest or two (or more) though I'm not sure yet of the who's, when's, where's and why's.• That very-long-delayed Q & A episode will finally be next. Like, hopefully before-the-end-of-the-month next After that, the one I originally planned on being about the last two episodes of Wizard will happen at some point, in greatly expanded form. I'll talk a bit about other upcoming and long-overdue episodes in a future post.Timestamps:00:00 - Watch those speakers!04:17 - The actual conversation starts here!01:14:30-something - I said it would be short!• Thanks for listening!Get The EpisodeDownload hereRider Break! on iTunesOr listen here:

Don't worry, I liked the movies. That title just made me laugh far, far more than it really should have.Igadevil and Rider Break! return with new hardware, a new remix of the theme song, and a new double feature summer film to review with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Gaburincho of Music / Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land. So it's sort of like episode 14 of the original Kamen Rider only not as exciting and with less explosions.Plus, one more farewell to the other man who made Kamen Rider.In This Episode: • Rider Break! "returns" for what I swear will be the last time; from now on it will "get revenge" or "strike back". Also, we (and by we I mean I) talk about some movie.• Lots of spoilers. I mean, lots. Don't say I didn't warn you.• In fact, there may even spoilers in the episode notes!Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp"It's Show Time" from the Kamen Rider Wizard OST (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp• In a bizarre redux of last episode (which was also a long-overdue return with a movie review) I got stuffed up while recording this, and you can hear it in my voice.But you can hear it even better, because in the time since 13 & 14 I've upgraded my microphone from a cheapo special deluxe two-in-one to a Blue Yeti! Go back and listen to 13 and hear the difference!That said, I'm still getting used to it, and will probably be updating the arrangement as time goes by (getting a proper stand, pop guard, and so forth.) But so far, I'm very happy with it, and it's made editing much, much easier.• Although the first few minutes of the review are "spoiler free", I do still touch on a few revelations, so if you want to go in completely unaware about plot details... avert your ears (and eyes) for the next few months. Also, I do talk about parts of a few other Rider films (Project G4, Episode Final, and God Speed Love.) And yes I know I said "ZAI-U-ranger". As this episode reveals, me have double trouble reading English good now.• BIG thanks to the following for submitting questions:Yuican, Bueno RX, Unkamenrx, Frobman, GSaviorSorry if I forgot anybody, and sorry to everyone whose names I horribly mispronounced. If you have further questions about the movie, fire away and I'll do my best to answer!• And BIG apologies to:Eric HenryFear not, I'll get to all your questions next episode!

My "live" first reaction to the new footage of Kamen Rider Gaim! And while waiting for that to air, I watched Super Hero Taisen (with commercial interruptions) and pondered the colors of good and evil, the true nature of insanity, and the timeless beauty that dwells within everything.Also: Shôtarô and Gentarô feel each other up.In This Episode: • Rider Break! is back in less than a month as I woke up for a 6 AM "live" recording of the Kamen Rider Gaim trailer, preceded by Super Hero Taisen, a movie I'm probably much kinder on than most.• Spoilers that I keep forgetting to mention until it's too late, including Super Hero Taisen (admittedly, it would be hard not to spoil it) its sequel (nothing too major, but I do bring it up) numerous other Rider movies (many of which are my favorites!) and Ryuki (spoiler: somebody dies in Ryuki.)• Complete incoherence.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary" (excerpt) Yup, I'm stretching that far for a joke."Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp• For the third episode in a row, I get sick, though only by the end. It's the rain, man.• Speaking of the rain, you can hear it in the background for most of the podcast. The sound levels on this episode were also a bit wacky since I had turned the whole table so I could face the TV, and the result is that I think the microphone was closer to me than usual. I need to invest in a good stand next!• I mention somewhere in there about the Q & A episode. That's coming up next, and I'll probably get to it today or tomorrow depending on how the vocal chords feel.

Rider Break! returns (yet again) as Igadevil weighs in on Wizard, bumbles through Fourze and fails to give an answer shorter than 150 words to any question.This episode was originally released on 7/3/2012In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns after yet another extended leave of absence!• Kamen Rider Wizard has been revealed! Hear about what I think so far (it's not much.)• Some brief thoughts on Kamen Rider Fourze episodes 33~40!• The answers(?) to a couple of loyal listeners' questions!• And a big SPOILER WARNING! since this episode goes into the details of Virgo's true identity, V3 and Blade's endings, huge swaths of X-Rider, and who knows what else.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Fujioka Hiroshi"Cosmic Mind" by Astronauts"BGM track 15. Astro Switch" by Shûhei Naruse• This episode was recorded the week before its original release, so the statement about "magazines that aren't out yet" was (at the time) no longer true. Also, Fourze 41 (where EVERYTHING CHANGES) hadn't aired yet. Listener discretion is advised.• I mention a few other podcasts and people on this episode (hint hint) Give them a visit:Toku StrikeThe FwooshcastLet's Get Ready to POD (currently on hiatus)HJU RadioRising Sun TokuCastLow Visibility (I didn't actually mention them by name yet, but check them out anyway!)And see some of Sean's great Rider art here, here and here.• I should also point out that after the fact, I realized I goofed up on some dating. As the battle for a new Creation King happens every 5,000 years, the Undead would have all missed the boat, so their fight was just about what species gets to dominate the Earth and someday invent Tang. However the Agito guys could still manage it, since we still don't know when exactly they first duke it out.Also, I forgot about my main reason why an Agito-Blade connection totally works for me: "God" in Agito isn't even around until he's brought back into being by unlocking the O-Parts, and the original is supposed to have vanished/died out way back, so a lot could happen in that time (including the BLACK, Blade, Kiva and OOO-related history stuff.) Even if the Power of Darkness/Overlord made humanity, in his absence I could see something like the Sealing Stone coming in and metaphorically questioning if humans really deserve to rule the planet (since the Battle Fight was supposed to be initiated by the will of all species or something like that.)Not sure when Kuuga fits in there, since the "Super Ancient Times" dating is pretty vague, but I can buy that it comes before everything else and Kuuga is chronologically the oldest Rider, a result of an unseen adventure where Kabuto/Den-O/Kiva/Decade took Rider 1 back in time to inspire the Linto and... you know what? Maybe we should just say "Wizard did it" and leave it at that.Timestamps: 00:00 - I keep telling you about your speakers...01:06 - Boring real-life draaaaaaaaaaaaama.

With time running out and destiny drawing near, Rider Break! ventures into controversial territory with an examination of the last two episodes of Kamen Rider Decade. Three years on, is it still the destroyer of fans, or a misunderstood masterpiece? Also, how many Rider finales can get spoiled while just trying to cover one!?This episode was originally released on 8/20/2012In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns one more time before another extended leave of absence!• Some brief thoughts on Kamen Rider Fourze episodes 43~46!• I once again plug Rising Sun Tokusatsu and fail to provide answers to their questions.• A frank, honest and open (re: boring) reflection on the Kamen Rider Decade TV finale in both its original and edited incarnations, including complaints about Movie WAR 2010 and a big SPOILER WARNING! as a bunch of other series finales or penultimate episodes are covered (the original, V3, X, Super-1, Kuuga, Agito, Blade, Ryuki, W, OOO, and of course, Decade.)Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka"Journey through the Decade" by GACKT"Battle World" (BGM excerpt)• This is it folks... the final episode of Rider Break!...in America, anyway. The next episode will be recorded in the land of the rising sun itself! No clue when that'll be, or when you'll hear it, but hopefully, before the end of the year/world/whatever.• I mention that this will probably be a shorter episode... that turned out to be false! It clocks in at just over an hour & thirteen minutes.• An extra-big thanks to Lynxara of Low Visibility and HJU fame for inspiring a large chunk of this episode.• Other podcasts/sites mentioned this episode include:HJU RadioLow VisibilityRising Sun Tokusatsu• Here's the article about the Decade finale I mention. Check it out, it's a great read.• Many thanks to all who responded and shared their thoughts on Decade 30~31. Hopefully you guys didn't mind me reading some of them to pad out the episode (which I swear I thought would end up being like 27 minutes long.) Also thanks to all who sent well wishes and congratulations for my upcoming move!• For some reason the old layout I've been using up until now stopped working back in early July, and if I try to post any links after the embedded mp3 player, everything turns into a jumbled mess. If anybody knows what the deal with that is, let me know. Until then, I'll just stick the embedded player and episode links after the show notes and timestamps from now on to save myself some headaches.Timestamps: 00:00 - Watch that volume!02:06 - Fourze talk17:33 - Break time already!? Also, use of "cliffhanger" twice in the same sentence (I did record this at like 3 AM.)19:04 - Decade episodes 30 & 31 are talked about (sort of) in a nearly hour-long rant that touches upon multiple Rider series finales (all of which I inevitably end up liking no matter how much I try to view them objectively) as well as the nature of a multi-part series ending. The description of how Agito's final battle tells a big story on a small scale is my favorite moment of the episode (36:12) and possibly the show's history so far.1:13:20 - If you listened to all that, you are a true hero.• As always, let me know what topics you'd like to hear in future episodes, and I'll put them on the roster!• Thanks for listening!Get The EpisodeDownload hereRider Break! on iTunesOr listen here:
A nearly 2-hour-long podcast recorded across two years, featuring one guy talking about speculative alternate universes, bromances, and his own obscure fanfiction.CAN. YOU. SURVIVE?This episode was originally released on 1/1/2013In This Episode: • You asked the questions, Igadevil fails to answer!• Lots of spoilers. Expect discussion on the endings of Ryuki (both of them) & Blade, W, OOO, various Rider movies, Stronger, Kikaider-01, Akumaizer-3... it's basically the most new-fan-unfriendly episode ever! Basically, make sure you either watched Ryuki or don't care about spoilers before listening to this.• I also finally talk about the "S" word. And by "early 2013" I mean "summer".Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka"Lonely Kamen Rider" from the Playstation 1 Kamen Rider game.Various sound effects from Kamen Rider: Genealogy of Justice.• This is the longest episode of Rider Break! yet, clocking in at just under 2 hours. I'll probably stick with the under-an-hour format most of the time, and only go this long if it's a special occasion or there's just that much to talk about. And I did have plenty to talk about this time!• This episode took ages to put together, but was a load of fun to do. Obviously being busy around New Year's meant that half of it was technically recorded in 2013 (when most of you will be listening to it) though I still pretend it's 2012... at least, until I start saying stuff like "later this year". You know what I mean. I'm considering it the last 2012 episode of Rider Break! and the next episode episode after the next one will debut a few... changes. Maybe. One of them will be, eventually, a new microphone!• Other stuff mentioned in this episode:The art of FrobmanPez's Sweet NothingsRising Sun TokucastHJU Radio (not really, but it may as well have been)• BIG thanks to the following for submitting questions:frobman, whotookwittyurlihateyou, yuioshi48, rising7, godzilla606, bookishdelight, terthna, akuulgai, cap-matches-color, Imani Marks, Liam Morgan, Wesley Rea, Waleed Al-Haddad,KamenRiderPEZ, LarzArz, InuiTakumi23, jahijohnson, Irregularcog, KRSRSimsLifeAKB, MatiRosero, TokuDeka, & Indra Giri.Sorry if I forgot anybody, and sorry to everyone whose names I horribly mispronounced.

It's a kind of magic.This episode was originally released on 12/25/2012In This Episode: • At long last, I talk about Kamen Rider Wizard. The first 16 episodes, the entire 2012 run of the show, the whole shebang. Wizard, Wizard and nearly nothing but Wizard.• And that's it! Yes, this is a "Christmas" episode in the way Ryuki's was: Santa's in there somewhere.• Obviously, spoilers for every episode of Wizard so far, plus minor ones for Faiz, Kiva and the Blade movie (minor as in, if you've never heard of those shows, they could be considered spoilers.)Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:Samples from "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" by the great Andy Williams"Life is SHOW TIME" by Kiryūin Shō from Golden Bomber• The HJU Radio episode I keep referring to can be found here. Also, that's where you can get my thoughts on the last two episodes of Fourze, which I never got around to on RB! proper, but I'll probably revisit some day. Short version: I like 'em a lot.Timestamps:Because I'm lazy it's Christmas and I need to spend time with loved ones, I'll just give it to you straight: this episode runs just over an hour and is entirely about Wizard. There's a big chunk where I go through the story arcs individually a couple minutes in, but it's otherwise mostly free-flowing.Thanks for listening, and have a very merry holiday season!Get The EpisodeDownload hereRider Break! on iTunesOr listen here:
Jason David Frank at MTAC Omega So we have not updated in forever… Sorry about that! Meanwhile, while you wait for the more traditional OSMcast podcastion (we even have a few episodes recorded already!), here’s something that may interest you. This is the entire press conference that Jason David Frank, power ranger, master of the red white and green, and mixed martial arts extraordinaire, answered questions for us at MTAC Omega. The OSMcast was not alone in asking questions, we were in fact merely one of many. Wondrous other media shindigs that were asking questions alike where groups such as 2ShotsofGeek, One Pixel Jump, HJU Radio, Space Gypsies, CX2 Media, NickiDtv, and more! Probably much more. If we missed anyone please let us know so we can fix that. And extra props goes out the Chainsaw Buffet guys for recording and editing the audio for us! OSMnotes OK! So we have some episodes recorded that are in dire need of editing before they get exposed out into the world wide web. But here is the inteneded order of release. Ghost Rider 2: Best Superhero Movie of 2012 A Podcast Roundtable about Toonami MTAC Omega OSMinterview with Jessica Straus After that who knows what craziness will ensue. Probably podcasts. UNTIL THEN.
