Eric dives into the surprising story of how the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became part of the Disney family. From Haim Saban's early days as a music producer to building Saban Entertainment, we cover his work in cartoon music, partnerships with Deac, successful shows like X-Men: The Animated Series, and the process of adapting Super Sentai into Power Rangers for American TV. We explore the evolution of Fox Kids, Saban's strategy to gain a cable network, the formation and expansion of Fox Family Worldwide, and the sale to Disney, which transformed the Fox Family Channel into ABC Family (now Freeform). The episode also touches on Disney's use of Power Rangers at the theme parks, the creation of Jetix (later Disney XD), the sale of Power Rangers to Hasbro, and the legacy of ABC Family's “25 Days of Christmas” and the inescapable 700 Club.

C. Scott Votaw is the Assistant Vice Chancellor of the University System of Georgia, where he is responsible for overseeing the Georgia Film Academy. After growing up in Georgia and graduating from college, Scott packed his car and headed west without a plan. With no relevant experience in film and production, he eventually networked his way onto a crew as a runner. Just by being present and paying attention, he found a way to save the production money and was rewarded with an almost immediate promotion to second assistant director. That auspicious start launched him into what would become an incredibly successful 25-year career in the film and production industry. His big break, a job working for Saban Entertainment on its new and wildly popular Power Rangers television show, set him on a course to work with Hollywood legends including George Lucas and Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt. Then came his moment of reckoning. After building a career that was largely unplanned, Scott returned home to Georgia to care for a relative and try something new. He eventually networked his way into opportunities in education, but the timing was serendipitous as Georgia was in the process of building the infrastructure to support the growing film industry in the state. Thanks to Scott's experience in both education and production, and his availability and willingness to take on something new, he found himself in a position to help launch and run the Georgia Film Academy. In this episode, Scott shares his unplanned journey through the film industry, his tough decision to leave it behind and move back home to Georgia, and the incredible timing that set him on a course to transition from an industry insider to an educator at the highest level.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to talk about the 25th anniversary of Digimon Adventure. Digimon Adventure is the first anime series based on the Digital Monster virtual pet toy, which itself is a spinoff of Tamagotchi. It first aired in Japan on March 7, 1999, with an English dub debuting on Fox Kids later that year. The series ran for 54 episodes, ending in 2000. Digimon Adventure follows the eight DigiDestined children who team up with their Digimon (short for Digital Monsters) to save the Digital World. The DigiDestined are Tai (Joshua Seth), Matt (Michael Reisz), Sora (Colleen O'Shaughnessey), Izzy (Mona Marshall), Mimi (Philece Sampler), Joe (Michael Lindsey), T.K. (Wendee Lee) and Kari (Lara Jill Miller). Digimon Adventure launched the Digimon anime franchise, which includes the direct sequel Digimon Adventure 02. In North America, Saban Entertainment combined the two short films from the first series and one from the second to create Digimon: The Movie. A remake of Digimon Adventure aired from 2020 to 2021. Aaron and Josh discuss their relationship with Digimon before going into the show's plot, characters, animation, and monster designs. They also discuss the inevitable comparisons to Pokémon and the legacy of the Digimon franchise.

Stronger than before, powered up for more, and Rangers at the core... Based on the 19th Super Sentai series Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, Power Rangers Zeo is the fourth season of the Power Rangers franchise and a continuation of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1993 - 1995). Luke and Jason tap into the Morphin Grid to revisit their childhood years of 1996 and experience the Saban Entertainment live-action series which was the first season to follow the Super Sentai practice of annual Ranger suit changes. After the destruction of their command center headquarters, the Power Rangers are blessed with the new power source from Zeo Crystals. Together, they strive to fight against a new enemy - the dreaded villains King Mondo and Queen Machina, a powerful pair who rule over the Machine Empire.

Well, we've made it, Listeners with Attitude. The 30th season of Power Rangers has come and gone, but did it go out with a bang or end with a whimper? Michael and Nathan discuss the 10-episode season and try to determine if Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury is a fitting end to the franchise's epic 30-year run, or if it will be remembered more for its unrealized potential. Prepare yourself for a lively discussion full of laughs and an abundance of Dragon Daggers … sooo many Dragon Daggers! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

The Queen of the Fabulous Empire, YouTuber extraordinaire, Kaiju Kim, returns to help the boys discuss the Sentai that became her favorite Power Rangers season: Denji Sentai Megaranger. What's ironic is this Sentai feels more like a classic PR season while its counterpart, Power Rangers in Space, feels more like a Sentai. But is it fair to compare these shows when PRIS has the advantages of legacy and finality while Megaranger is just another Sentai? Can the #BlueWigsAndBlackLeather finally break Sentai's streak in the “Who did it better?” debate for Nathan? All this plus a thematic discussion of priorities and a “Toku Topic” on why the Japanese love technology in the latest Power Trip! (Also, take a shot every time Kim cancels Michael!)

Today's episode is a weird one. It's The Power Trip's first solo episode, with Nathan doing more comic book coverage…except it's a manga…about the first Super Sentai…so it's only peripherally related to Power Rangers. Anyway, thanks to Seven Seas Entertainment (who also translated and published the original Kamen Rider manga), Americans can now experience Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, which was created in 1975 by the Jack Kirby of manga, Shotaro Ishinomori. But if you read this graphic novel, be prepared for it to feel more like James Bond than Power Rangers. All the tropes aren't quite there, but it definitely feels like the prototype for both the Sentai and Ranger legacies. Plus, there's a giant robot brontosaurus and a cameo by Robbie the Robot. ‘Nuff said! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

Save the “Earsh”! Michael and Nathan risk their friendship returning to a controversial subject—Power Rangers Turbo—which is why they brought on Drew Dodgen of The Cel Cast to moderate. Today they discuss Turbo's source material, Gekisou Sentai Carranger, a parody Sentai that lovingly mocks the franchise. To say most of the humor was lost in translation would be an understatement. Not that American kids would understand most of it, anyway, because it's weird. But that's the charm…even if it borders on late-night cable levels of raunchiness. While Michael remains a simp for a certain “toxic prima donna,” Nathan may have found a new waifu to rival Astronema in this Sentai's main villainess. In other words, if you're the rare breed who likes Turbo, steel thyself for four hours of praise for Carranger at its expense! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

Happy (belated) Power Ranger Day, Listeners with Attitude! To celebrate, Nathan held a colossal crossover of content creators for an equally colossal comic crossover: IDW/BOOM Studios' Godzilla vs. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers! He's joined by Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project), Rob Buck (The Power Chamber podcast), Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins (and his sidekick, Snazzy Chapeau), Elijah Thomas of Kaiju Conversation (who finally completes his “Infinity Gauntlet” of Nathan and Michael's podcasts), and our “Sixth Ranger,” Jack “GMan” Hudgens, who appears later on. They unpack everything in this comic despite Nathan's inability to use Streamyard. The meat of the conversation comes when they discuss the ending, which Nathan felt could've been better, but Omni Viewer argues it's a metaphor. Prepare for a celebration of tokusatsu nostalgia!

In this episode, Michael and Nate discuss arguably one of the weirdest entries in Ranger history—a crossover of Divatoxic proportions—Power Rangers Turbo vs. Beetleborgs Metallix, a comic published in 1997 by Acclaim (now Valiant) Comics. It was one of three Turbo stories published in the short-lived Saban Powerhouse magazine. After Nathan gives Michael a crash course in the history of Big Bad Beetleborgs and Valiant Comics, your hosts do talk about Turbo—and are frequently interrupted by Beetleborg villain Nukus!

We're back, baby! After a brief hiatus thanks to Once & Always,Michael and Nathan resume their Super Sentai coverage with Chouriki Sentai Ohranger. This was the basis for Power Rangers Zeo, but it's quite different. It even has shades of Ultraman with its military team battling evil robots. Speaking of which, the “Machine Empire” in this is like watching Game of Thrones except it's tokusatsu. It's just too bad the show ends up being bipolar tonally thanks to real-life tragedies.

And there came a day unlike any other…oops, wrong superhero franchise. Anyway, it's finally here! Power Rangers celebrates its 30th anniversary with its best anniversary special (although, that bar isn't set too high). Michael and Nathan dive deep (3 ½ hours on a one-hour special?!) into this MMPR reunion. Is this the mature take on the franchise we've been wanting? They sure think so! That's especially true with its theme of grief, because—holy Zordon!—a Ranger dies! And it finally sticks! And it's Trini?! Plus, Billy is now the Elon Musk of the PR universe and Robo-Rita is your new nightmare fuel. All this and more in the return of the OG Power Trip! Strap in, Listeners with Attitude! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

For this live recording, Michael and Nathan discuss BOOM! Studios' follow-up to the polarizing Saban's Power Rangers (2017): Power Rangers: Aftershock. While this comic unfortunately exists within a vacuum, the guys discuss whether it's a worthy, or at least satisfying, successor to the controversial film. In some ways, it feels more like classic Power Rangers (more time morphed, witty banter) but in other ways, it doesn't (the villains feel straight out of Marvel Comics). Much to the chagrin of some and delight of others, this will probably be the only sequel we ever get to the divisive film. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

Michael and Nathan come to the strangest and most meme-tastic Super Sentai series yet with Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (not to be confused with the Dairangers' mentor, Master Kaku). After several seasons based on foreign literature and mythology, Kakuranger goes full-tilt Japanese with ninjas fighting Yokai. The fact that any of this was adapted into Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers season three is a small miracle (a flasher monster?!), but it's Alien Rangers' radical re-contextualization that's the most mind-boggling. How did anyone in the Saban writers room look at those obvious ninja costumes and think, “Aliens from a water planet”? But what your hosts weren't prepared for was the podcast getting hijacked by not one but two Yokai! All this plus a debate over the infamous “Friday or fine day” meme in the latest Power Trip! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

With the 30th anniversary of Power Rangers around the corner, Nathan and Michael dive into their longboxes (well, a shortbox for Michael) to discuss Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Special #1. This was an extra-large anthology comic with several short stories that span the franchise. It naturally includes two (-and-a-half) MMPR stories, but it also inexplicably has a Mystic Force tale and a Ninja Steel crossover. The meat of the episode, though, is dedicated to the issue's final story, “The Trial of Astronema,” but not just because it's about Nathan's Ranger crush; it's dark and thought-provoking. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

You spoke it into existence, Listeners with Attitude! Our first five-hour episode! We're joined by our two friends, Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project) and Travis Alexander (Kaiju Ramen Magazine) to discuss Gosei Sentai Dairanger. This Sentai is in a weird place because it was only sorta adapted by Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers—as in they used mecha footage and some monster footage. The awesome costumes in this series were unused…until Megaforce (but we don't talk about Megaforce). Daniel is interesting because he's seen Super Sentai before Power Rangers (a rarity in the English-speaking world) and Travis loves this because it combines two of his favorite things: martial arts films and tokusatsu. Our “Toku Topic” is ch'i. Be warned: we get a bit punch drunk by the end. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

Nathan is in his element while Michael tags along when The Power Trip finally covers its first BOOM! Studios Power Ranger comic…that was a co-production with DC Comics. So…does it count? Regardless, in Justice League/Power Rangers, the most iconic superheroes in the world join forces with the Teenagers with Attitude—and it's a match made in comic book heaven. Nathan schools Michael on characters like the villainous A.I. Brainiac, but both of them gush over how incredibly cool Alpha-5 is in this story. They want a sequel NOW! The cliffhanger must be resolved! What's that cliffhanger? Listen to find out! (Or better yet, read the dang comic). ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

The Power Trip begins its Super Sentai coverage! Michael and Nathan make a U-turn and go back to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers—sorta—with Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, which became MMPR season one. How does it compare? These shows are the same and yet quite different, if that makes sense. It was hard for your hosts to choose one over the other. Contrary to popular belief, Super Sentai isn't “perfect.” Regardless, this show does hit both hosts differently in light of Jason David Frank's death. They also experiment with some changes to their format.

Happy New Year, Listeners with Attitude! We're kicking off Power Trip 2: Taisaku Sentai Podranger (aka season two) with some comic coverage—but not BOOM! Studios! No, it's Going Green, the last Ranger comic produced before BOOM! acquired the license, and it's…wacky, to say the least. If you heard our episode on The Monster Island Film Vault about “Green with Evil,” then you know this comic is a prequel to that miniseries. It explains how Rita acquired the Green Power Coin—while fighting vegetable people—and chose Tommy as its bearer—after trying to seduce him! Seriously, we're not sure if this is supposed to be a canonical parody or the creators misremembering how goofy the show was at points.

Merry Christmas, Listeners with Attitude! In true Power Rangers fashion, The Power Trip's first season “ends” with a holiday special! Nathan and Michael harken back to Mighty Morphin' season two to discuss a VHS episode that originally went out to members of the Power Rangers Fan Club: “Alpha's Magical Christmas.” Oh boy, this (thankfully) non-canonical special is so saccharine, it's guaranteed to give you diabetes. And it's nothing like the show. What's funny is your intrepid hosts discovered there is a literary/audio adaptation that's way better—and they wished they'd discussed that instead. Have fun singing along with Alpha and dozens of “kidnapped” children with Stockholm syndrome!  ----------------------------------------------- "Lord Zedd's Holiday Humbug" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjCClLR01o0 "Alpha's Magical Christmas" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wu6btCUd_Q&t=1242s ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

And so Michael and Nathan come to their journey's end…for now. After one year, 995 TV episodes, and three movies, your intrepid hosts have much to say about the Power Rangers franchise. They begin with some personal reflections on this long endeavor followed by having some fun picking their Ranger “dream teams” (and yes, they both felt obligated to include Tommy Oliver). The main event of the episode, though, is when they put every series and film into a Tiermaker tier list. There was gushing and arguing and mind changing. Then there was season two hype….

Looking for an independent R-rated horror-comedy tokusatsu series about a metal band fighting the men in black? If that outrageously unique premise strikes your fancy, Amano Recon is for you! Nathan sits down with Andrew Bush, the director of this upcoming series, and discusses the characters and many influences that went into this crowdfunded project—including Kamen Rider Black, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and The X-Files. There's even a possibility that a pair of Power Ranger alumni could be in it! Which ones? Listen to find out!

They did it! Michael and Nathan reached the “new hotness” in Ranger Nation! That being Power Rangers: Dino Fury, which, while a typical PR series in many ways, broke new ground in others. It reintroduces Michael's favorite PR villain, Lord Zedd (who has no time for glitter) and features the first LGBTQ+ Ranger in a mainline PR series with Izzy Garcia. But much to Michael's chagrin, the conversation is derailed for a while by everyone's favorite snarky bonehead, Rito Revolto, who punches out Nathan to talk about his brother-in-law. Then there's talk about a surprising theme in this series: reconciliation.

Nathan and Michael reach end of the third era of Power Rangers and the beginning of the current one. So, since the Hasbro Era only has two series (currently) to it, they've combined it with the previous one and calling it “Neo-Saban and Beyond.” This isn't the shortest era, but it does have the fewest entries for them to discuss (six series and a movie). Strangely, your intrepid hosts disagreed most on what should be on the bottom of the list more than anything else. What did they rank as the worst of the worst era of Power Rangers?

On November 28, 2022, a multitude of podcasters and YouTubers—Nathan Marchand, Michael Hamilton, Travis Alexander, Jack “GMan” Hudgens (The Drift Space), J.R. Villers (The Drift Space), Rebecca Hudgens (The Drift Space), Kaiju Kim, Chris Cooke, and Jimmy from Zeo to Hero—came together to celebrate the life and work of Jason David Frank. From acting to martial arts to teaching to motivational speaking, he did it all. But he'll always be remembered as Tommy Oliver, the most popular Power Ranger. He was the face of the brand for years and a hero to his fans. Because he took his own life, your hosts spent this long livestream raising money for To Write Love On Her Arms, “a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and invest directly into treatment and recovery.” Their goal is to raise $800, and you can still contribute at the link below.

The Hasbro Era begins! Michael and Nathan definitely don't miss the previous season or They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. While your intrepid hosts knew some of the spoilers going into Power Rangers: Beast Morphers, it didn't ruin their enjoyment. Heck, this series did in five episodes what all 40+ episodes of Megaforce couldn't do! While Nate does threaten to “whip Rito out early,” he and Michael spend most of their longest episode ever (4.5 hours!!!) praising a series that surprised them with its story, characters, and fan service (Space Sheriff Gavin is canon?!). The show even prompted one of the best thematic discussions they've had on the podcast. It helps that it's a secret sequel to one of their favorite PR series. Which one? You'll have to listen to find out! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

The Neo-Saban Era comes to an end—and what a whimper it is! Nathan and Michael tackle Power Rangers Ninja Steel, whose greatest sin could've been being painfully mediocre—but then those two Nickelodeon-mandated characters had to ruin everything! So, for the first time ever, “Rantmaster” and “Blue Streak Ranger” join forces! Otherwise, your hosts spend this four-hour cluster of a recording (those two characters even broke their internet reception) discussing the few highlights in this show, including Kelson Henderson as Mick, Redbot, and the Pink Ranger's tight jeans. Oh, and after avoiding it all year, there's a thematic discussion on teamwork. But it's more profound than you'd think. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

Where's the Ninja Steel episode? That recording was a cluster, so Michael needs a little more time to edit it. In meantime, we're sharing an abridged version of an episode of one of Nathan's other podcasts, The Monster Island Film Vault. In this, Michael, who is a Patron of MIFV, sponsored an episode that spotlights the classic MMPR five-parter, “Green with Evil.” Here are the original show notes for the episode: Hello, kaiju lovers! In our first Patreon-sponsored episode of season three, Nate is joined by his co-host from The Power Trip podcast and frequent guest, Michael Hamilton, for some TV talk. (Although, first they have to resolve longstanding issues from the…“Yeti incident”). In this case, the epic five-part miniseries from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, “Green with Evil.” This introduced toku-loving kids to Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank), the femme fatale Scorpina, and the iconic Dragonzord. But in true MIFV fashion, Nate and Michael have a deeper-than-you-would-expect thematic discussion about this miniseries and how it shows the corruptive nature of evil—and it includes quotations from J.R.R. Tolkien and St. Augustine! Yes, that's the kind of podcast we are. Strap in, folks! It's morphin' time! To hear the unabridged version, visit the MIFV website.

Happy Halloween, Listeners with Attitude! To celebrate the spookiest time of year, Michael and Nathan harken back to season one of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers to discuss a pair of Halloween-themed episodes. (It was a welcome break from Ninja Steel and They Who Shall Not Be Named Until the Ninja Steel Episode). Frankenstein and Pumpkin Rapper are a pair of truly monstrous foes for the OG Power Rangers. You won't believe who donned the Frankie suit in the Saban footage, and if you ever wondered where the infamous gif of Power Rangers with pumpkins on their heads came from, look no further!

Nathan's been waiting for this episode for a long time. He even popped popcorn for the occasion. But he doesn't get what he wanted—he got something better! Michael changed his mind about the Power Rangers (2017) movie! They're joined by writer, critic, and co-host of The Drift Space podcast Jack “GMan” Hudgens to discuss the most divisive and, arguably, most underrated piece of Power Rangers media. For all its faults with its aesthetics, it gets the heart of the franchise right. It was made by people who love Power Rangers, and yet it was largely rejected by the fans. It's tragic, and the film deserves to be re-evaluated. A sequel would've helped it. All this, a thematic discussion on love, and more in the latest episode of The Power Trip! Today's theme song is “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Brian Tyler. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

Michael and Nathan reach the apex of the Neo Saban Era: Power Rangers Dino Charge. They bring along their friend Alex Cornett of the Monsters vs. Men podcast to discuss a series that was hyped by one of their listeners for months. Does it live up to that hype? Short answer: yes. And not just because your hosts are coming out of 80+ episodes of crap with Samurai and Megaforce. The characters are fun, the acting is good, and the stories are “old school.” That ending, though…Nathan fought hard not to “rantmaster” it. So hard. But his co-hosts poked the Bearzord. At least it came on the heels of a thematic discussion on selflessness since that's what it took for an Energem to choose someone as a Ranger. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

Surprise, Listeners with Attitude! Thanks to one of you (and Words with Friends), we were able to sit down with the man who composed your childhood: Ron Wasserman. He's a rock star in every way (except the sex and drugs, he says), who's composed music for TV, film, commercials, and his band Fisher. We talk about his musical influences (Black Sabbath, no surprise), how he got the gig at Saban Entertainment, and how he composed the iconic “Go, Go, Power Rangers.” He even gives some advice to aspiring musicians.

Longest…episode…yet! On the…worst…PR series…ever! We're as surprised you are. Strap in, Listeners with Attitude, because just when Nathan and Michael thought it couldn't get worse than Turbo and Operation Overdrive, the Neo-Saban era breaks their brains. Mitch from the “Entertain This!” podcast joins them to discuss the emptiest Power Ranger season they've ever seen. Seriously, all but one of the characters is prettier than they are talented; the villains are lame; and the so-called “Legendary Battle” is anything but! Michael (sadly) limits Nathan to only two Rantmaster sessions, but boy, did he use them! However, the most ironic thing is this abysmal season inspired a top tier thematic discussion: nostalgia. Get ready for (ugh!) a super-mega episode! ----------------------------------------------- THEMATIC DISCUSSION STARTS AT: 2:51 ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

There may be “no time for glitter”, but there is time for our first impressions of Power Rangers Dino Fury Season 2 Part 2! After binge-watching all 11 episodes of the last quarter of Dino Fury, Nate and Michael need another cigarette! with high production value and likable characters, and the return of a classic villain in Lord Zedd, they guys really enjoyed their time with this stretch of episodes. Was it perfect? No, but it was a lot of fun and worth the wait.  Stay tuned for our full discussion on Power Rangers: Dino Fury in December, and may the power protect you. ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

On this very special bonus episode of The Power Trip, we had the privilege of sitting down with the writer, story editor, and co-producer of the Power Rangers franchise from 1995-2008, the lovely Jackie Marchand. In a fantastic conversation, you'll learn some behind-the-scenes details from her time on Power Rangers, as well as hear her answer questions like what was her favorite season? What were some of the biggest challenges working on Rangers, and more! A special thank you to Miss Marchand for joining us for this interview. It was definitely appreciated! ----------------------------------------------- Follow Jackie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jackieyo ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

To kick off the Neo-Saban and Hasbro Eras, Michael and Nathan bring on Jimmy and Billy of the Zeo to Hero podcast—which leads to some sibling squabbles between the guests! Why? Because Billy requested to guest host for Power Rangers Samurai. This series infamously adapted its Sentai counterpart, Shinkenger, exactly, going so far as to have a Caucasian red ranger with a Japanese last name. Then they set it in the most western-looking “Japanese” city ever. Talk about awkward! Nathan loses his mind over how awful the premiere is—even going so far as to issue an apology to the Turbo movie! When Rantmaster apologizes, you know it's bad. But is it the worst they've seen? Listen to find out! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.
