The Power Rangers: Grim dark, angsty teens or colorful, campy crew? What if I told you, it's both. But also it's better when it's the second one. In this episode we explore not just a single show or movie, but a whole genre hailing from Japan called tokusatsu. From Super Sentai to the all American Rangers, it is a cultural exchange as diverse as the Rangers themselves. Go Go Power Rangers!
BLT Team B return with a review of the 2020 cult indie film, Psycho Goreman, an offbeat horror comedy that will tickle the fancy of anyone who grew up thinking it would be rad to be best friends with Power Ranger's Lord Zedd.

The filmmaker most in tune with Brian and Steve's sensibilities, Steven Kostanski, has a new film. This time he's remade a sword and sorcery from the 80s, Deathstalker. And while the film is an homage to those films, it's also tribute to all the others like Conan, Masters of the Universe, The Beastmaster, and even Ray Harryhausen films. All retold through the lens of 90s kid who loved the Power Rangers. Plus host Steve poorly remembers a music cue from the Mortal Kombat movie as a from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

Send in your music story!The volume's up and the lane's wide open: Like Ghosts return with a sound that folds bright synths into crunching guitars and somehow makes heartbreak feel like a victory lap. We sit down to map the jump from viral covers to original anthems, unpack why Wish You The Best leans further into pop and EDM without losing its punch, and trace the throughline that connects Better Now to the band's next chapter.On tour, the new cuts didn't just work—they ignited the room. The band shares how live crowds validated the shift, why Better Now closes like a “win,” and where Like I Do lands as the EP's heartbeat with harder rock hits and bigger electronic payoffs. We get candid about lyrics too: still emo at the core, but sharpened with pop phrasing and real-life detail that sets scenes you can feel. If you're craving modern pop punk with festival-ready sheen, this conversation sketches the blueprint.We also zoom out: how strategic covers turned casual clicks into committed fans, why summer 2009 energy can live in 2025 production, and what it's really like navigating a label-backed tour from a sprinter van. Expect nostalgia, Digimon soundtrack love, Power Rangers trivia, and a refreshingly honest look at a band evolving in public—on purpose. Tap play for a story-driven deep dive into pop punk revival, EDM-rock crossover, and the EP that ties it all together.If this resonates, follow the show, share with a friend who loves big hooks, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.Check out our Youtube and Instagram!

We chat about the origins of Mythos Force, the present and future of the series and have a mini Power Rangers debate that I I clearly was not ready for. This is Young Sage.

On this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas welcomes critic and lifelong Ranger fan Becca Peterson (The Critic Buffet) for a fast-paced, fun deep dive into the 1995 feature film. We cover why this movie still hits for '90s kids, the charm of Ivan Ooze, the switch to ninja powers and new Zords, and how the film fits into the broader multiverse of Power Rangers stories. Becca brings great trivia, from casting changes to Sentai influences, and shares why the movie's core message still lands. Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – 01:10 | Cold open, show intro, and guest welcome; Becca's superhero-critic tagline 01:10 – 03:00 | Why revisit the Power Rangers movie and early theater memories 04:19 – 06:23 | "Challenge accepted" and Becca's two-minute plot sprint 05:27 – 06:05 | Ivan Ooze arrives, new henchmen, and the Command Center attack 06:44 – 09:03 | Skydiving charity opener, Bulk & Skull logic checks, Angel Grove mayhem 10:11 – 11:20 | Movie as an alternate timeline, multiverse vibes, Shattered Grid nods 14:35 – 15:12 | From movie rats to TV crows, why Tenga Warriors replaced the original monsters 16:22 – 18:21 | To Phaedos and Dulcea, the casting switch you might've missed 19:51 – 21:22 | Why the show handled Ninja powers differently from the film 26:44 – 27:24 | New Zords, shiny suits, and the unmistakable mid-'90s CGI 28:17 – 29:14 | Frog pride, why Adam's Zord is cooler than you remember 29:39 – 30:23 | Individual Zords actually doing things before the big combine 34:54 – 35:37 | Real stakes, amped-up action, and "too violent for kids?" memories 36:00 – 37:02 | The '90s ninja craze context 40:20 – 41:48 | McDonald's toys, promo tours, and peak Ranger mania 45:18 – 46:01 | Theme check, "You don't need power to be special" Key Takeaways The movie plays like a joyful two-parter: Angel Grove chaos, mythic quest on Phaedos, ninja powers, new Zords, Megazord finish. It sits in a separate timeline from the TV series, echoing the franchise's multiverse storytelling across comics and crossovers. The practical-to-CGI shift hasn't aged perfectly, but it lets each Zord shine solo before combining. Dulcea's role came with behind-the-scenes casting drama many fans never heard about. The film leans into corny puns and earnest heroism, which is part of the franchise's escape-hatch appeal. Core message still lands: bravery and community matter more than powers. Memorable Quotes "I'm your superhero critic, and I'll stay super as long as you stay awesome." "Challenge? Accept it." "He looks like a giant purple booger." "Some would say more phenomenal." "You don't need power to be special." "Welcome to my nightmare."

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Cracktastic Plastic crew is turning up the brightness and celebrating the color pink! From Barbie dreamhouses to Power Ranger suits, from My Little Ponies to obscure retro figures decked out in fuchsia, we're diving into the rosy side of toy collecting. We'll talk about how pink has been used across toy lines through the decades — sometimes bold, sometimes surprising, and always iconic. Plus, we'll share our favorite pink toys from our own collections and discuss how a color can carry meaning, nostalgia, and a little bit of attitude. It's time to embrace the pink side, toy fans!

This week Power Rangers decides to do another episode where a monster is nice but its much weirder than the Wasp episode from In Space as Eric randomly decides he really, really wants to kill all mutants. Then, an Eric focused episode where we see Eric's home life and Zack absolutely loses his mind over this jerk having a cute little house with a garden and birds that he dotes on. Plus: Open Dress Shirt
