In addition to our regularly scheduled anime, we talk about more Super Sentai drama, the new anthology based on the early works of Chainsaw Man's Tatsuki Fujimoto, and most importantly, I finally got Iro to play Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society (Now available on PS4/5, Steam, and Nintendo Switch).

On this chaotic episode of The Nonsense Podcast, we kick things off with a Kelly Fact so wild it almost breaks the show — Illinois has an actual event called the Turkey Testicle Festival. Yes… that's a real thing. Henvincible immediately taps out in disgust while FNBob shames him for having “the culinary bravery of a toddler.”Then the guys jump into a rant-filled intro where FNBob declares war on society for skipping straight from Halloween to Christmas and ignoring both Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Henvincible reveals his shocking beef with Hawaiians — and honestly… it's somehow the least unhinged part of the episode.From there, the Wheel of Nonsense returns with a new batch of madness:• Battlefield 6 might have a battle royale now and FNBob is nervous nervous.• Nintendo just lost a major legal battle — and the boys aren't sure what it means for gaming.• Everyone debates the best Halloween costumes they've seen (including their own).• Disney starts pulling content from YouTube+ and Henvincible panics about how far they'll take it.• The Super Sentai series comes to an end, and FNBob thinks that maybe… it's finally time.• Another school shooting sparks one of FNBob's harshest but most passionate rants ever.• And finally — Hurricane Melissa's damage to Jamaica has FNBob feeling “harshly compassionate,” telling them to rebuild faster because he wants to go on vacation.Spicy opinions, unhinged rants, and a wheel full of chaos — just another day at the Nonsense office.✨ Episode Highlights
Wherein we discuss Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, The Chair Company, Pluribus, Frankenstein, and the end (?) of Super Sentai. Starring Ryan Scott and Ryan Higgins.
Super Sentai couldn't help shooting its own foot as it rounded the corner of its final lap, could it? We finally sit and talk about the news of Maya Imamori being fired from Gozyuger.

Power corrupts, and absolute power transforms heroes into the very monsters they swore to destroy. Go Go Loser Ranger masterfully subverts the traditional tokusatsu genre by revealing a dark truth: the beloved Divine Dragon Rangers subjugated the monster invasion years ago, forcing creatures to act as weekly villains to maintain their hero status.Season 2 takes this premise to thrilling new heights as mysterious figures emerge from the shadows. Hwalipon broadcasts forbidden truths about the Ranger Force, while Green Squadron hunts the remaining boss monsters. When Angel Usukubo of the Monster Protection Society is revealed to be half-monster—the daughter of an exiled boss monster—the line between human and monster blurs further. Meanwhile, our protagonist Fighter D continues his infiltration of the Rangers, discovering that his simple mission of vengeance has become hopelessly complicated by human connections.What makes this series exceptional is how it weaves together multiple character motivations for opposing the Ranger Force. Some seek justice, others revenge, while a few harbor world-changing ambitions. The revelation that the Monster Protection Society plans to transform all humans into monsters adds another layer to this morally gray battlefield. Every character feels justified in their actions, leaving viewers constantly questioning who deserves their support.Season 2 delivers a perfect 10/10 experience with its brilliant plot developments, satisfying action sequences, and thought-provoking themes about equality and purpose. It's like the Power Rangers meet The Boys in this twisted world where the heroes seem more villainous than the bad guys. If you're craving a series that challenges conventions while delivering genuine surprises, Go Go Loser Ranger should be at the top of your watchlist.

Haim Saban is a Billionaire and it all started with a trip to Japan and only one thing on TV. Way to Go Go Power Rangers. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [OG Law Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast, and we're talking empires today. Stephen Semple's there. I'm here. I'm Dave. Gosh, if anybody that ever thought I was reading the intros like that, it's not okay. Stephen Semple: Mystery solved. Dave Young: Mystery solved. Never the same twice. So Stephen, you told me that we're going to talk about Power Rangers today, and I think of that like an entertainment franchise sort of thing, but also what also toys. Stephen Semple: They are also toys, yes. Dave Young: Was it one of those things where it's like, oh, we're going to invent this toy and then we're going to have an entertainment program to go along with it? Because these things seem to go hand in hand these days. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and they very much was hand in hand. The two came about very much together. And it's got an interesting history to it because it was launched in 1993 and it was created by Haim Saban, who is now a billionaire. He's gone on to do a bunch of things. Not just making a ton of money from this, but if you look him up on Wikipedia, it's estimated he's worth a couple of billion dollars. So he's done well in the entertainment industry. And Hasbro acquired the company back in 2019 for $522 million. So it certainly has contributed to his wealth. And he was a cartoon theme songwriter is where he got his start. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: He worked on things like Professor Gadget and Masters of the Universe. Those were the things that he was writing theme songs for. Dave Young: Oh, cool. Stephen Semple: But he wanted to create his own property. He always wanted to have his own thing. And at the time, he's on a business trip in Japan, and the only thing you can get on the TV is this Japanese animated series called Choudenshi Bioman, which is part of what they call a Super Sentai series. And Saban was fascinated by this concept of five masked people in spandex fighting monsters. So it's in 1985, and he produces a pilot of Bioman. And the idea of adapting Japanese productions to the US market started basically in 1970 with Marvel. Marvel did a deal with Toei Company to exchange ideas, and Toei created a Japanese version of Spider-Man that did actually really well. And what Marvel tried to bring to the US, not so much. So it sort of worked. Initially, America to Japan was working, but Japan back to America was not working as well. But that didn't stop Saban. So what he decided to do was create a show where they could keep the original action scenes, because the action scenes are complex and hard to film, and then just replace the other scenes with good-looking American actors. So basically when there was the action scenes, it was actually the original Japanese content. And then they would put in... Dave Young: Oh, wow. Stephen Semple: Yeah, he just basically said, okay, here's this Japanese thing. I'll keep the original story. I'll keep the Japanese content. And then where any of the acting is, I'll put in good-looking American actors. Basically that footage is already shot and the toys already existed. So it was also economical to import it to the United States. This was his idea. So he gets a meeting with Toei and Bandai, and they agree. What the heck? Sure. Take our content.

Here comes a new story. Or three, to be more precise. With our Journey to the Worst in the bag, Kyrie and I leave Dragon Ball behind for the moment, and head to new territory. But what could we possibly cover where we'd have that same magic combination of undercovered work that we can act as experts about, and that we're very passionate about? It's a short list, I think. But you know? Pretty Cure, Super Sentai, and Kamen Rider? Yeah, I think that makes the cut. We're starting Sunday Henshin Time with the first two episodes of Futari wa Pretty Cure, Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, and Kamen Rider Blade. And we're riding this baby all the way. I suspect we'll die before we fully catch up XD but enjoy the ride until then! We've got Sunday Henshin Time podcast art in progress, but for now, please enjoy the beautiful Scanline Talks art by @dreamysuite on Bluesky! To start out, SHT is going up on the Scanline Talks feed, but once we have a few eps posted, it will get its own feed! Our intro music is Scene47 蒼空 ~aoi~ by Kaneko Kazuki, with gratitude.

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.

They talk about the process of writing an RPG, adapting an existing rule system for a new theme, the importance of choosing to be whatever color Power Ranger you want, consulting experts on topics you are not familiar with, and injecting your own interests into game design - RPGs are not always about dragons in space folks! And of course, Bug provides expert advice to new designers looking to create their own RPGs and stories. Featuring: Bug Boll - Guest Danielle Reynolds - Host
This week of Castranger, which falls on the 50th Anniversary of Super Sentai and the anniversary of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, which we totally timed on purpose, begins with us enjoying Shouma and Hanto's blooming bromance with the debut of Valen Frappe Custom, the graceful bowout of Tokonatsu aka Don Momotaro in Gozyuger, and beginning Akiba April, we discuss how our two nerds and one karate girl delude themselves into being the Super Sentai that parodies its own genre in a way that, to some, may tow the line between good and mean-spirited. Yes, we discussed Akibaranger before, but we're DOING IT AGAIN! Deal with it! Also, Ichi has a hot take about Daizyujin's desert cloak.

Disney is making a crack at the Power Rangers, will they succeed where others failed? GameInformer rises from the ashes, and Nintendo is hitting the pitchers mound. Meanwhile, the future of James Bond gets a little clearer as its new producers are named, Assassin's Creed Shadows is out and in the wild, and Minecraft hopes to dominate at the box office.
Disney+ is set to bring a fresh take on the Power Rangers franchise, with Percy Jackson and the Olympians showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz in discussions to lead the project. The new live-action series, produced by Hasbro and 20th Television, aims to reimagine the iconic property for a new generation while keeping longtime fans engaged.The Power Rangers franchise, which began as Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers in 1993, has spanned multiple iterations, movies, and reboots over the last three decades. Based on Japan's Super Sentai, the original series followed a group of teenagers granted the ability to morph into color-coded heroes, battling intergalactic threats with their signature Zords.While the series has enjoyed continued success, attempts to translate the franchise to the big screen have seen mixed results. The 2017 Power Rangers film, a darker, more YA-focused reboot, failed to generate the box office numbers necessary to launch a sequel, despite a passionate fan response.Hasbro acquired the Power Rangers brand in 2018, with an ambitious plan to expand its entertainment presence. This new Disney+ series is the latest effort to revitalize the franchise under Hasbro's guidance.Steinberg and Shotz have built a reputation for delivering compelling character-driven storytelling. Their work on Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been widely praised, successfully adapting Rick Riordan's beloved book series for Disney+. Their previous credits include The Old Man, an FX thriller starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow.Their involvement signals a commitment to quality storytelling and world-building, potentially giving Power Rangers the prestige TV treatment that long-time fans have hoped for.Hasbro Entertainment has been making aggressive moves in the television and film space, with projects based on Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and Clue in the works. The company is leveraging its vast portfolio of intellectual properties, with Power Rangers positioned as a key franchise in this expansion.Details on the series' storyline, casting, or whether it will adapt an existing Super Sentai season remain under wraps. However, given Disney+'s commitment to high-budget fantasy and adventure programming, expectations for this new iteration are high.As the project develops, the question remains: will this be the definitive Power Rangers revival, or will it face the same challenges that previous reboots encountered?

We're back with more Super Sentai content, and this week we're taking a look at some of the series that became Power Rangers shows in the Disney era: Dekaranger, Magiranger, and Go-Onger! These shows made were pretty popular adaptations, but how do the originals stack up?

In this episode, we talk about three Super Sentai shows that were only slightly converted into a respective Power Rangers version. From the kung fu powered Dairanger to the ninja team Kakuranger, and rounding out 20 years later with the constellation based Kyuranger! What got adapted? What didn't?
