Teenagers With Attitude
Zack to Action
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Season 02
RSS: http://www.audioentropy.com/twa/?category=MMPR2&format=rss
We finish up the MMPR movie but begin with talk of a successful extra life stream, an UNSUCCESSFUL crabbing attempt, and Roger Ebert's delicious hatred for the Power rangers.
Then we move onto nearly an our of discussing why the zords look so bad. Plus, evil high fives, Finnster's undercover cop stint, Care bear stares, and everyone's favorite button.
For part 2 of the Movie, Greg joins us to talk about horrifying goldar faces, sexy barbarian ladies, falcon kicks, and powdered coffee creamer.
We also discuss the part of the movie noone likes: The ninjetti quest for the "Great Power", Ivan Ooze's mastery of disguises, the propensity of Angel Grove parents to just shove their hands in anything that looks suspicious, and fun fire experiments the whole family can enjoy!
Join us and to discuss The first part of the original MMPR film!
Before we begin we discuss the new Power Rangers HyperForce RPG and our excitement at seeing Bulk finally be a ranger, talk about the inequitable Zord distribution in Ninja Steel, and get a very sleepy Lucas to give us his power rangers news.
Then with that out of the way we talk about our divisive opinions on Ivan Ooze, and the movie suits, and our absolutely non-divided opinions on the rockin soundtrack, extremely misplaced sound effects, and Aisha's special, special powers.
This week Mike is back as host, Guest Ryan returns after the Jebediah incident, and new guest Cassandra joins us to watch an episode where everyone is so competent that its intensely offputting! Why are characterizations actually good? Why do the rangers and Zordon actually act in a responsible manner? Why is Tommy actually acting as a leader?
Luckily theres still some insane things that happen, apparently being evil makes you want to lift weights, Matt launches his sub podcast Owl Facts, Tommy makes an UTTERLY bizarre art project, and the Putties are very, very proud of their butts.
We're back with part two of Wild West Rangers and ...Jebediah's still here. What exactly is that guy's deal? Anyway Kimberly gives the 1880's versions of her friends who are 6th generation ancestors and therefore exact clones of the modern rangers, as science teaches us and no seriously he's like, from the past but also the future? It doesn't make any goddamn sense. I'm sorry but it's really distracting.
We get back into time shenanigans, and this time we appear to accidentally have brought back Jebediah. Jebediah's deal is... confusing. Is he a ghost? Maybe?
Anyway we also talk about the constant menace of Time Holes in Angel Grove, Zack's deep love of Doc Skullovitch, extremely prominent putty butts (and putty fashion), and, of course, HORNSWAGGLE.
Gandalf The Grey, Radagast The Brown, Mondo The Steampunk Shadowrunner The Red.
Join us this week as we learn that the greatest gift of all is giving, we conclude The Ending Story, and the Power Rangers scare Bulk and Skull into never reading another book. Special guest Greg "Grag" ""Gorbleflorrp"" Poparena returns as he, Mike, Emily, and Matt offer up the Sparknotes version of this weird, weird episode.
Greg can be found on his youtube channel, Pop Arena at https://www.youtube.com/user/poparena
Join us and new friend Greg (Different Greg. Grag?) To discuss the Secret Origin Of Ticklesneezer.... or, really, see the power rangers get sucked into a fairy tale book with the worst green screen animated woodpeckers you've ever seen. Oh also, Bulk and Skull literally create life as part of this week's plot. They sort of gloss over that.
Join us as Kim and Tommy run against each other in a school election while Lord Zedd reveals his love for politics and Rita tries to prove that girls are way badder than stupid smelly boys.Along the way we acquire a new, adult toys related domain, Billy and Aisha try to set up puppet governments, Kimberly lets her hair down, and Goldar just really, truly cannot believe the shit he has to put up with from these dad gum teens.Also we discuss plans for finally reviewing the power rangers movie. No, the other one.
Join us for a sleepy time recording as Mike continues his attempt to coup the podcast from Zack, we find out that Awake Luke is Punny Luke, we discuss the exciting conclusion of the Green Vs White Ranger trilogy (and disappointing face turns and zord fights), and of course we discuss Zedd's horrifically botched circumcision, because we are still us.
Also, at the mid break we get an amazing fan parody song by listener Paul!
Hey everyone, it's Hurricane season which means Zack is a little busy fortifying his home to be writing blurbs. We actually get a Second Parter episode where things occur!
An authentic 1770's Chase Scene where Marissa The Teenage Witch uses her Wagon Tracking Powers for good, Luke isn't here for some classic Morphing Grid headcanonry, and Zack becomes consumed with consuming a cake to the horror and concern of the entire panel. This episode also features the highest New Jingle per Minute ratio and a crash course in History at the very end courtesy of our friend Cameron.
Mike hosts as its the return of the green ranger, what you've been waiting for the whole time! ...Right?!?The plot and its specifics deeply confuse us and we have a lot of questions this week: How is Colonial Angel Grove Possible? Why don't they just give the putties guns? Why DID Zedd marry Rita? What does the moon crew's Org Chart look like?We do manage to agree on a few things along the way, namely, our show is very stupid, and also we like Sonic Mania very much.
After years of building it up, its here: Rita and Zedd are married! Join us to witness the celebration and bask in four uninterrupted minutes of a complete fever dream of insanity. We'll also talk about Audio Entropy Couples Board Game Night, how much we love Evil Alpha and Pathetic Goldar, what part of Zedd's Evil Family putties are, and Luke's difficulty with public compliments.
Plus, Zack hijacks his own show to force everyone listen to him talk about how much he loves Kesha. Kesha is very good. Buy Kesha's new album. I LOVE YOU KESHA
Episode Discussed: S02E43: The Wedding Part 3
Join us for part 2/3 of The Wedding as Simon Returns and is very confused at why all the monsters are singing a dumb song, why the power rangers spend the entire episode walking in circles, and why Rita now appears to be able to break the 4th wall.

Episode Discussed: S02E42: The Wedding Part 2
