We wrap up TMNT III and unfortunately it kinda starts to fall apart.
How do you tell if something has scenes cut for time or the script is just bad?
Why is Leonardo’s grimacing face so scary? Why is Mikey such a creeper? And at least Raph has a cute arc with a little kid, thats nice!
Happy New Year to the TWA family!
Bonus 75 - Teenagers With Ninjutsu TMNT3 Part 1
Happy Holidays, Dudes! Zack, Emily and Morgan come together to discuss this often-maligned 3rd entry in the TMNT live action movies for our annual ‘Christmas’ movie.
Emily argues it doesn’t deserve its reputation, Morgan uses their education to tell us exactly how bad the historical accuracy is, and Zack really, really wants you to know how hot he finds Elias Kotias.
Kamen Rider Blade
Bonus 74 - Kamen Rider Chalice
We’re back with Iris, Morgan, Fabby and Zack as we discuss an early Kamen Rider after they took a break for a few decades!
Less CG and less idea of what the show needs to be means its a little weirder, a little more violent, and a little darker, but we kinda dig it! The Belt is a Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Disc! One of the Riders is a bug zombie man! The weapons are cool! And this man has a special fridge only for milk!
Bonus 73 - Popeye Was The Sort of Man
Magic Swords! The Historical King Arthur (but not that one). Reading is FUN-damental!
Zack, Emily, Iris, and Luke tackle a disliked entry in the recent parts of the Kamen Rider franchise, Kamen Rider Saber! We love the extremely over the top henshins.. but you can see a little bit of the problems.
At least they made sure we know that books could NEVER be used for evil!
Bonus 72 - The Kamen So Nice They Ridered It Twice
Zack is joined by Emily, Morgan, Simon, and Iris to discuss the Kamen Rider that’s two boys at once, Kamen Rider W!
Plus, mild surprise at the Noir theme, whether your plucky sidekick can also be a landlord, falling down a wikipedia hole, and T-Rex heads.
AND we congratulate Iris and the rest of the Eidolon Playtest crew on becoming AWARD WINNING PODCASTERS.

Bonus 71 - A Guy Singing In His Birthday Suit
Happy Birthday Dear OOO’s! It’s Kamen Rider OOO’s with Zack, Morgan, and Emily, as they talk about the sweet loser ska boy who’s boyfriend is a disembodied floating arm but somehow still fabulous!
Featuring a CEO obsessed with birthday cakes, a vending machine that’s also a motorcycle, and octopus shaped flying drones that form a floating skybridge, this one is wild, y’all!
Bonus 70 - Some Kind of Kamen Rider Train With A Gun
Emily, Fabby, and her wife Marie, and returning and beloved host Mike convene to talk about a Kamen Rider Anniversary season that… SORT of has returning characters but not really, and also the main Kamen Rider may or may not literally kill everyone?
Listen to Marie and Fabby try to explain as Mike, Emily and Zack desperately try to keep up.
We do of course all agree that the first 2 minutes are the craziest shit we’ve ever seen.
Bonus 69 - Kamen Rider Mathemagician
It’s time for Kamen Rider Build! We have experienced Kamen Rider’s Morgan and Fabby at odds over this series (in a friendly rival way as is KR tradition of course), Emily likes both of the Boys in this one, and Simon gets to be the newcomer on this one!
We talk about the good (Goofy special effects, fast and efficient characterization, and fun costume gimmicks) and the bad (treatment of women, confusing exposition) and Zack really, really likes Ryuga!
Bonus 68 - Abs-olutely Hilarious
Zack is joined by Luke, Ashley, and Iris in the Inaugural episode of our SAG Strike Kamen Rider discussions to talk about Kamen Rider Zero One from 2019!
The crew discusses shitty theme parks, irritating comedians, how fun it is to shout “BULLET” in a robot voice, and the inherent hilarity of a man with robot abs!
Thank you for your support of both us and SAG!
Bonus 67 - Rover Royale Summer Special
The Mythic Rovers have returned to get in touch with themselves in nature… but unfortunately Misery Corp is going to try to exploit a little friendly competition for their own evil ends!

Bonus 66 - Rover Royale April Fools Special
The Mythic Rovers are back for more in this second Holiday Special!
Ozzy is up to their old pranks again but at hyper speed, and Diane tries to help Trish sneak out to a concert, but Sable might narc on them both!
