Episode 358 - The Silent Socratic Method
Join us as we discuss the rangers running an obstacle course, and Carter gets the best time! But wait! Captain Mitchell is here to tell him he did a bad job and not explain!
We talk about Captain Mitchell’s management methods, Carter’s make-a-wish service, and what exactly is going on with this weird grocery store in Mariner Bay.
Episode 357 - Save An Air Horse
We are joined by our friend Ava to talk about Joel the Sky Cowboy absolutely bombing with a hot scientist. But at least he’s got some incredible signed headshots? Also how did he even get out of the Lightspeed Aqua Base?
Plus: The Lemonade that Kills You, and Iris fights Zack’s Wife while Morgan is simply skeptical of her preferences.
Episode 356 - That Skeleton Didn't Do Shit To You
We’re here, its time for Operation Lightspeed!
We discuss: What the hell is the government budget on this underwater base? What did it do BEFORE the evil demons showed up? What exactly was the criteria for deciding a Fireman and a Rock Climber were better Ranger candidates than soldiers?
Plus: Is this horny or not, and, why does Simon want to fight a skeleton SO bad?!?
Episode 355 - Around The Lost Galaxy In Seven Hundred Seventy Days
Our long, long journey through the Lost Galaxy has finally come to an end, friends, and it only took us TWO YEARS, with a multi month strike and scheduling issues, but we DID IT and we thank you for sticking with us!
We discuss what we think went wrong with the season, Kendrix’ return, Trakeena’s very, very goopy bug form, what the hell the megazord was doing this whole time, and how the heck Mya didn’t realize she was on Mironoi!
We love you and can’t wait to LIGHTSPEED RESCUE
Episode 354 - Gooning and Beyblading
Welp, Trakeena sure did make good on her threat to use suicide bombers in the children’s program, so that’s great!
We also discuss the most egregious issue with the whole atmosphere problem thus far in Power Rangers!
Episode 353 - Goodbye to the 2nd Best BioDome of the 90s
We’re back! Zack, Emily and Morgan are joined by Iris as they discuss friend of the show Luke’s wedding, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Princess Peach Showtime, and Zack successfully not killing himself with a DIY project.
Plus, Trakeena returns and immediately succeeds at destroying most of Terra Venture, Commander Stanton gets to talk on the Jumbo-Tron, and Power Rangers tries to tell us, 7 seasons in, that they DO need atmosphere to breathe, actually, and we just aren’t having it.
Episode 352 - Mr. Bucket Says States' Rights
Episode 351 - I Hate Surfactants
Damon works tirelessly to save the day from a problem they truly don’t bother to explain to us even a little, while Captain Mutiny uses his ultimate weapon to force a very, very long Zord Battle.
Plus we talk about weird video game bugs and cool sea monsters!
Episode 350 - Sump Daily
Hexuba returns for her second and final appearance as the Rangers fight a bunch of unused Sentai footage they figured they’d just go ahead and get out of the way!
The good news is that Hexuba looks ridiculous, she does have a pretty cool mansion, and also we talk about ghosts and video games for a while because otherwise this would have been the shortest episode we’ve ever recorded!
Episode 349 - Who Ordered A Snoofquet?
Captain Mutiny enlists Hexuba, a sorceress, to destroy the rangers with a Freddy Kruger-esque plan that rests on the fact the rangers are idiots and just CANNOT stop sniffing these magical sleep flowers!
Read MoreEpisode 348 - Super Clips
Join us as we join two sweaty, dehydrated boys to do a clip show and try and remember exactly what’s been going on in Lost Galaxy.
Even THEY knew well enough to just skip the Lights of Orion so that’s nice!
Plus we talk about Pirate Tortures and which of them turn out to have not just been Movie Inventions.
Also, fun ways to drink water. It’s on topic, Promise.
Episode 347 - Grunchor Death?
We’re back with our first recorded episode since the strike! Unfortunately, its kind of boring and not that much happens. Fortunately, the swabbies are there and the monster is still called Grunchor.
Plus we talk about The Groose, and also try to determine what Pokemon type the Grinch is, for reasons I don’t quite remember, but I do remember he’s Normal.
Bonus 76 - Teenagers With Ninjutsu TMNT3 Part 2
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.
Episode 346 - I Blew My The Bounty Wad Too Soon So Now I've Got Nothing But An Accidental Anime Title
We’re Back! The Lost Galaxy crew discover captain Mutiny’s Treachery (who could have guessed), we talk about the Swabbies, and Mysterious Boxes!

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.

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!
