Nate (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) get into some controversial topics that will definitely get them letters! Their coverage of Ultraman (1966) brings them to a point where the show has found its stride…for the most part. Episodes 20-29 feature “My Home is Earth,” which may be the best episode of the show, and the series’ one-and-only two-parter with “The Monster Highness”—which Chris says fumbles the script-writing ball with the Kenny-est Kenny. He even demands Nate apologize to Hoshino! Also, Ide continues to be awesome (#IdeSweep). All this and more in the latest Henshin Power V3!

Sorry this episode is late. Chris ran into some life and technical issues while editing; plus, you know, Thanksgiving happened.

A lot happens in this batch of episodes. As the title implies, we get a crossover between Godzilla and Ultraman…sorta…not really. Several iconic and incredibly weird Ultra Kaiju appear, including Pestar (who’s literally two suit actors holding hands), Gavadon (who’s a pillow waiting to happen), the return of the Baltans (so the genocide debate is moot), and more! Also, Nate (“The TsuBro”) introduces Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) to seminal Ultra director Akio Jissoji, because they cover his first two episodes. Toss in a visit from the Great Leader and HPV3’s trademark awards, and you another great podcast from the guys. (For the record: Ide is the hero of this series).

“Here he comes from the sky!” Much to Nate’s (“The TsuBro’s”) delight, HPV3’s starts its coverage of Ultraman (1966)! And Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) have no complaints—except about Arashi being an idiot! This truly classic henshin kyodai hero series premiered as a live stage show that was lost media for a years. In this first batch of episodes, we see Shinichi Sekizawa, of Godzilla fame, co-write the origin story, an episode that retroactively gives some key Ultra lore, and several iconic kaiju. Beforehand, them HPV3 boys discuss some henshin hero news (hence why it’s their longest episode yet!). They also make crazy suggestions like an Ultra series in the vein of The Office. Get your Beta Capsules ready!

Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) were hoping to get started on recording for Ultraman (1966), but Nathan (“The TsuBro”) was nowhere to be found, but never fear—the Ultrabro is here?! (What the henshin?!)

Our Ultraman (1966) coverage begins October 16, 2024!

To quote Batman, “You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts!” Here’s an ultracut of all six of our episodes covering all 52 episodes of Kamen Rider V3! I don’t know why you’d want to spend that much time with Nathan The TsuBro, Chris The Sentai Guy, and Jake The Metal Don, but here you go. It’s almost as long a binge as those Discotek blu-rays of the series that I’m sure you preordered. Right? 😉 Anyway, let’s hope this doesn’t break PodBean.

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Jake (“The Metal Don”), and Chris (“Sentai Guy”) finish the first chapter of their new tokusatsu journey with the final episodes of Kamen Rider V3! Such a seminal time requires a visit from a certain skull-faced supervillain—but not the one you’re thinking. (Was it Rito all along?) After he gives the boys some often awkward facts, they dive deep into the story of Riderman, who lives up to the hype. Then your hosts give the trademark HPV3 awards to this batch of episodes and the series as a whole. Who wins what? Will Chris admit there’s good Kamen Rider in the world? Listen to find out!

Next time: Ultraman (1966)!

The people who worked on Kamen Rider V3 need help. As in therapy. Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) have concluded that. But this comes on the heels of Nathan singing “The Amazing Riderman” to start the episode, so he doesn’t have much room to talk. Speaking of Riderman, he shows up to kick off the series’ final story arc—and he might be the best character on the show! But if you thought the pseudo-“cornographic” sacrifice scene discussed in the previous HPV3 was dangerously close to getting the podcast an explicit label, wait until you hear Chris talk about a long-necked turtle kaijin! Plus, Nathan keeps mentioning Alien: Romulus, and Jake claims his first “rantmaster”! What’d you expect in the latest HPV3?

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“The Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) overcome the odds when life, uh, finds ways to keep them from recording—which leads to some of the most effed up stuff they’ve seen in Kamen Rider V3. Specifically, an occult sacrifice scene that’s arguably pornographic…for the kids! Your hosts have questions like, why does Doktor G have a scorpion motif when his kaijin form is a crab? Destron’s insignia is a scorpion! Can you say, “Missed opportunity”? And Ken Sakuma is no Taki. Nope. And let’s not forget the hot gender-fluid tiger lady. Oh my…! Also, the guys discuss some tokusatsu/henshin hero physical media news and their first piece of listener feedback. It’s what you expect from HPV3.

Say, “Hello”…to the latest episode of Henshin Power V3! Your hosts Nathan “The TsuBro” Marchand, Jake “The Metal Don” Hambrick, and especially Christopher “Sentai Guy” Riner fight the good fight against Streamyard, and after winning, they dive into their next batch of episodes for Kamen Rider V3. Sadly, this batch is held back by unfortunate shaky cam that makes the Bourne films look stable. But it also has some of the most insane kaijin-of-the-week and stunt work so far for the series. Not to mention, the Shocker generals, in true Altered Beast fashion, RISE FROM THEIR GRAVES to battle V3 himself. Too bad the promised return of Riders One and Two was a red herring. All this and more on HPV3!
