Mystic Knights have come to save our lives, and Haim Saban has come to backstab his closest allies, run a cable channel into the ground, and threaten business partners with his Israeli military experience. Plus: how Fox Family Channel helped kill Addams Family for almost two decades!

One part of the legendary Bulk and Skull, Shakespeare scholar, and tokusatsu expert Jason Narvy joins us for a chat about his start in acting and the high art in "low art," and shares some of his memories of working on the iconic Power Rangers series! Intro music by Paul Morgan and the Ole Miss Music Department.

In our first industry interview, we talk with immensely talented IDW Sonic The Hedgehog artist Reggie Graham about his lifelong passion for the series and how he got into comics. Then: we stumble through '90s catchphrases and 9/11 jokes for a chat about the classic Sonic OVA!

Masked Rider... Masked Rider... Masked Rider! Today, we talk about (you guessed it!) Saban's ill-fated Masked Rider, give a brief history on Kamen Rider, and discuss how Haim Saban funneled millions of dollars worth of Power Rangers sales to the sustained genocide of Palestinian children.

What do you get when you cross bugs, VR, and Jay Leno? Why, the bizarre fever dreams of VR Troopers and Beetleborgs, of course! We walk you through the history of Metal Hero, how it got brought to America, and how Shuki Levy's almost 4,000 music credits might be a little sus in the second part of Unmasking Saban.

The first in a five-part series, Unmasking Saban takes you through the life of notorious mogul Haim Saban, and does a deep dive into the shows that made him a political power player. In this episode, we discuss the troubled production and abusive practices behind Power Rangers - a show that would become one of the most powerful brands of the '90s.

Space Jam 2: IP Boogaloo is out, and boy, do we ever have some thoughts on it. Also, we discuss the finer points of Bugs Bunny's sexual expression!

Tim Allen having sex! Strange feelings about Venus De Milo! Uhhh... "jokes"? This week, we tackle Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (1997), Power Rangers In Space (1998,) and the would-be iconic crossover episode, "Shell Shocked"!

After almost 15 years, they finally made a sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III... and it's awful! We're talking TMNT (2007) in the fourth installment of our impromptu Turtle deep dive. Oh, and cum. We're also talking about cum. Because of course!

We're going back in time (but not with Huey Lewis) to talk about 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III! Is it as bad as everyone says? Or is the TMNT fanbase a bunch of grown men who take this all too seriously? Plus: bestiality jokes! Too many of them, actually.
