Fri, 5 February 2010 ![]() Tyler, back from London, finally got around to editing and recording another episode with the gang. Sorry for the delay -- real life is a pain. Today's panel: Tyler, Tom M, Chris, Jesse "SirStack" Herndon Chris and Jesse talk Power Morphicon. No, the Silver Ranger membership's late release was not a ploy. How has the "reversioning" of MMPR been going? And why you should pay attention to this Twitter page. Also, we're pleased to announce Rangercast will have a "live" (for the people there, not for people on this site) recording at Katsucon next weekend in National Harbor, Md. Come on down!

Sat, 2 January 2010 This is not a repeat from 1993. Well, actually, it is. Today marked the premiere (?) of the "reversioning" (as Disney calls it) of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. BANG WHOOSH KAZAAM POW!! Or something like that. The big questions: Is it any good? And will it work? Tyler tackles the big questions in this short episode of Rangercast. Why the rush? He has a plane to catch, so no episodes until at least January 21. See you when we come back! Comments[5] |
Tue, 29 December 2009 Well, ladies and gents, this is it. The series finale of Power Rangers as we know it. RPM has been great fun, but it's time to break it down. Tonight an overloaded crew (Tyler, Chris, Ryland, Tom C, Tom M, Evan and Darrin) run down the finale, "Danger and Destiny" and how RPM holds up as a whole in the Hall of Legends, as it were. Naturally, there was a lot to talk about. Our chat, recorded Sunday night, went long. Way long. Like two-plus hours. So not everybody could even stick with us the entire time. Maybe it's for the best. Otherwise we might still be recording. Also, rampant fan conjecture needs to stop. Seriously. We also have three voicemails from our listeners about what MMPR means to them. Thanks to those who sent in their thoughts. On Saturday, Tyler will be doing a solo show before he jets off to London breaking down the basics of the remastered MMPR episodes "Day of the Dumpster" and "High Five." So keep an eye out for that. Unless, of course, Tyler gets a control tower dropped on him. That seems to happen every now and then. Reports of this site's impending death have been greatly exaggerated. We've got some awesome stuff in 2010, but a lot of it involves events, plane tickets of even just some lines of code here and there, so there's not much to really talk about just yet. We can assure you we're not going anywhere. Have a happy and safe New Year from all of us at Rangercast! Comments[9] |
Thu, 24 December 2009 Tyler, Tom M. and Darrin take on the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight finale. Not because we want to. Rather, because it is our solemn duty. Where did this promising show go wrong? Find out. Also, summaries for MMPRv2 are hitting online listing sites and cable systems. But some stations, like Baltimore's WMAR, are convinced they're airing Jungle Fury. God, no. And in less than 48 hours (depending on where you are), the series finale of Power Rangers is set to air. Prepare for some awesome. Comments[3] |
Wed, 23 December 2009 Two new episodes of Power Rangers RPM ("If Venjix Won" and "End Game") come and save us from Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and remind us what it's like to have shows that don't suck. Tyler, Ryland, Tom C, Darrin and Eric (MegaRyu124x) talk about what went right, what went wrong and what just didn't make a whole lot of sense.
As for Dragon Knight, we'll have a full breakdown (there's a fitting word if I've ever heard one) of the show's thrilling conclusion next time on Rangercast. Ugh. Tom M. spent his weekend watching the whole show marathon-style. He'll try to bust out of his strait jacket long enough to join us. In RB Masterpiece Theater, EZ Rider shares his thoughts with the world. Comments[1] |
Thu, 17 December 2009 Tyler and Tom M. riff on the canning of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, leaving two episodes unaired and hundreds of fans going into full-on WHAARBARGL mode. What does it mean for Toku in the US? Does it mean anything? And why is Adness bothering to pretend things are all well and good? In any case, recent episodes are doing KRDK no favors. Oh, and if you want to dress up as a Karshian for Halloween, you can get a mask at any Halloween store. It the generic alien one. Yeeaaahhh. Also, RPM is coming back after a 10 week break to air its final four episodes. Yeah, Power Rangers RPM. Remember that show? I hear it was kind of good and stuff. And leave your well wishes for Chris. He's been going through some rough times lately. That's why he hasn't been on much. Ooh, also, Tyler just got an official invite to Balticon 44. So you'll be hearing some more about that soon...

Sun, 29 November 2009 Tyler and the Toms spend 40 minutes of your precious time shooting the
breeze and riffing on the news during The Great Break. Today's slim
pickings: -Power Morphicon 2: This Time It's Personal. Dates are up. See you in Pasadena! - Tyler's going to London in January, so somebody will be around keeping the fires burning. -We have a schedule for MMPRv2. There are some big time spoilers circulating for this new season, but we believe none of them. Like that one about the floating head... that's so '90s... -More toys are floating to stores for the holiday season. But with the good comes the bad. Does this look like a Dragon Dagger to you? -Kamen Rider Dragon Knight is still terrible in ways few shows dare to attempt. They're in a race to the bottom to make their own plot irrelevant. But at least the game looks fun. What does MMPR mean to you as the remasters come closer to airing? Call in and let us know -- your answers might be played on an upcoming episode. Also, we're planning some cool things for Rangercast in the future. If you have ideas, show topics or cons you want to see us do a live show at (we're penciling in two already), drop us a line.

Sun, 15 November 2009 Four typical average Rangercast hosts (Tyler, Chris, Tom C, Tom M) turn back the clock ten years and review the first three episodes of "Big Bad Beetleborgs." It didn't age well. At all. We plan to keep this going, so keep the therapists at the ready. Also, "Kamen Rider Dragon Knight" got hardcore. They killed -- excuse me -- vented Kit Taylor and brought in The Chairman to straighten things out with his Retcon Rider powers. And New toys are hitting your local Wal-Mart. Must get Lord Zedd... Finally, disregard the K7 line we mention at the end of every episode. We're on Google Voice now, so click that button over yonder. Also: You're welcome. Comments[9] |
Thu, 29 October 2009 Rangercast strikes back with a full house! Tyler, Chris, Tom, Evan (Elk) and not-British Tom (y3k) talk up what's been happening during the long drought until the last block of new RPM episodes. -New spoilery synoposes are out for episode 29 and 30 of RPM -What is Disney up to with MMPR remastered? What's their strategy? Are they the only sane men (and mouse)? -KRDK and why it's still meh. But it could be soooo much worse. -How is RPM doing, on the whole? -Quite possibly the worse rendition of the Spiderman toku theme ever, courtesy of Evan Comments[21] |
Wed, 14 October 2009 Sorry this took so long. Tyler had... things happen and it was just impossible to get the people together. Tyler, Tom, Chris and Chris' dogs talk about all the things we missed, including "Key to the Past," "Beyond a Doubt," "Control-Alt-Delete," "Run Ziggy Run," some KRDK, the news about MMPR, the Black Plague, the Spanish Inquisition, the "Brady Bunch" reunion... Oh, also, I will only accept an ending to this penned by the staff of "Robot Chicken." Not Joey from Idaho. Not even Ryland from Washington state. Only Seth Green. Because that's the only way it can not suck. Comments[5] |
