Teach Me Sentai episodes
- Women in Peril
It's Dairanger's turn for some filler! Episodes 33-36 find our team dealing with nefarious talent scouts, needy plants, ultimate fist masters, and tragic backstory. Natalie and John are here to walk you through every step and help capture the kernals of interesting ongoing plot throughout these straightforward one-offs. Featuring a hit single, an uncomfortably queer-coded villain, Gara, a surprisingly effective disability metaphor, and. apparently, a fairy.

1 hr 5 min - Back to Blissful Basics
After all of the offscreen drama that made it's way onscreen, things on the Power Rangers set have stabilized, but can you tell that from the episodes? John and Natalie walk through episodes 29-32 of Season 2 of Mighty Morphin and figure out if the filler is fun. Featuring a surprising villain, a Bulk and Skull feature episode, a big mirror, pachinko, and a weirdly restrained amount of Tommy Oliver.

57 min - Of Kou and Kameo
I hope you like answers because this week we're getting some! Natalie and John dive into episode 29-32 of Dairanger and learn all about some of our most confusing friends. Featuring a stone with a bad attitude, poor communication, digging literally for something metaphorical, quarries, and a zord who makes way more sense in context.

56 min - Bad Vibes Transfer
Our long nightmare is ending and it doesn't quite feel good. John and Natalie walk through the last gasps of weird editing, missing characters, and bad energy as Jason, Trini and Zack head off into the Swiss sunset, and Rocky, Adam and Aisha join the team. It's episodes 25-28 of MMPR Season 2 and it's... well listen, it's tough. Featuring sports, sleeping, Z branding everything, failing to listen to instructions and a whole lot of discomfort.

54 min - A City Gay
Back to Dairanger! And most importantly, back to Kazu. The Qilin Ranger takes center stage in episodes 25-28 and Natalie and John couldn't be happier to explore his queer journey. Okay maybe the queerness is just in their head. And there's a two parter in the middle about a murderous karate master. Featuring the dangers of modeling scouts, unbirthday gifts, Dark Karate, an inscrutable apparatus, and Grandma's noodle cart which must be protected at all costs!!

1 hr 3 min - The Labor Dispute Episode
Buckle in, friends, it's going to be a bumpy one. It's time for our long teased deep dive into what went wrong with the contracts that led to the departure of three founding Rangers from the show. It's a story about unions, safety on set, and the complicated allegiances behind our choices. John and Natalie peel back the layers and tell the story of six actors, too young to be in the position they were in, and why they made the decisions they did. Content Warning - We talk a little bit about homophobia, sexual harassment and suicide if those.

Today, John and Natalie dive into episodes 21-24 of Dairanger, closing out the KibaRanger intro saga and checking back in with old friends and foes. There's a lot of child endangerment. Featuring abuse, heat stroke, baby zords, pollution, a promise between men and a very silly baseball game.

53 min - Bulk Gets Wet
Look, obviously a labor dispute is not good, but while Natalie and John watch episodes 21-24 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2, they've got to look at the bright side. We've got three fun new friends, the return of Pumpkin Rapper, and some respectible creativity. Also bad wigs. Featuring a waste of two monsters, homemade helmets, unclear construction, a baby, layers of time wasting, and Bulk's inability to stay dry.

We've met the White Ranger, now it's time to get to know KibaRanger, a twelve-year-old brat who Natalie and John can't help but love. Episodes 17-20 of Dairanger introduce the delightfully annoying Kou, the 3 Ladies of Hell, and the Gorma Emperor themselves. Featuring strange treatment of women, jewelry, well-meaning grocers, surrogate mothers, and a cartoonishly evil mother.

56 min - The Light of Labor Disputes
I know you all missed Tommy so much, but don't worry! He's back! Just in time for labor disputes to send the show into very weird territory. Join Natalie and John for episodes 17-20 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 2. Don't worry, their voices still sound the same. Featuring secret doors, Zordon being a jerk, AC/DC, the continued existence of Ricky and Curtis, a person in a bear costume, and the tragically muted final appearance of Trini.
