A great time capsule of awesomeness
A great time capsule of awesomeness
First off let me say that it was a nightmare for an android user (that used google podcasts RIP to listen to the show) to find a place to leave a review but I finally found somewhere to do it, so here goes.
I've been watching power rangers since I was about 4 years old when Power rangers started in the 90s and I've been a fan ever since. Having seen ALMOST every season all the way through when it aired. A funny short story is I say almost cause I vividly remember being a stupid baby, and refusing to watch Lightspeed when it aired because I saw them being Govt funded public identity Rangers as something flying in the face of everything Zordon stood for regarding secret identities, and I was very offended on his behalf. While a funny story I'm sad it happened cause I missed out on what many say is one of the best seasons.
Not only did I watch it ,but my dad often watched with me for the early seasons and he loved it just as much as me. He got busy and fell off but recently we've decided to watch every season from the beginning by watching a chunk on YouTube every weekend, (currently just starting In Space one of the most recent episodes was the TMNT crossover) so I'll get back to Lightspeed and give it a proper shot eventually.
All that to say that's why I started listening to this podcast from the beginning, so I could listen at work during the week after we watch a chunk of episodes. I love this podcast it's hilarious fun and a time capsule for pop culture of the time.
I'm not listening strictly in order because if I'm honest MMPR largely sucks (it was a pretty painful slog to watch)Tommy not withstanding (RIP JDF) so I listened to the up to ep 30 (I think mmpr electric bee Ep. The completionist in me plans to go back eventually) and ended up skipping to ninja storm and listened to that as it's one of my favorite seasons and then I skipped to present when you started Jungle fury (also a favorite)and listened to that as they released.
Currently I went back to your coverage of the Turbo second half (shout out to win button Phantom Ranger and his double invisibility, also side note I got curious so I looked it up. In the Sentai there was no dimension bs the monster just turned things invisible so not sure why they overcomplicated it and broke your brains and mine when i watched it) and plan to listen from there as my dad and I continue our trek into Space.
I can't wait for you guys to start RPM. It's my favorite season, has some of my favorite rangers, mentor, villain general, humor, and while I love the bits of Meta Humor it does have, rest assured it's not even close to all it has to offer and I sincerely hope you enjoy. Hope this wasn't too long. Thanks for all the laughs. I'll end it with a hearty RPM... GET IN GEAR
