Follow us on twitter @talkingTropes!

Hannah, David, and Chris @Compenderizer talk about the 6th Ranger trope throughout the Power Rangers franchise and beyond!

Tweet @TalkingTropes to suggest a future trope topic!

We're taking a little hiatus, but before we go, we wanted to tell you about a wonderful little Netflix animated show about a post-apocalyptic world with talking animals and great characters! It's Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts!

Check out the recaps from the beginning here: https://soundcloud.com/talkingtropes/sets/avatar-the-last-korra

Tweet at us @TalkingTropes to let us know what media we should recap next!

Snowpiercer, Mortal Engines, and Battlestar Galactica represent three approaches to the same story: urban spaces need to be packed up and transformed into vehicles in order for humanity to survive.

What do these stories represent within capitalism and what does society look like when it is put on wheels and must constantly move forward?
