The pandemic (hiatus) is over! I mean, sure, it’s just the hiatus caused by Toei shutting down production and not, like, the whole pandemic being over but at least there’s some new Kamen Rider to watch (and, thus, UnKamenCast R!X! to listen to), so… That’s not nothing, anyway. Hoo boy, got a little dark here. … Continue reading UnKamenCast RX 245.75 – Dads Must and the Devil’s Driver

The last bit of non-show hashtag content before the hiatus ends is Your Humble(-ish) Hosts taking a look at the freaking sick Kamen Rider crossover film that is Zero-One x Zi-O – Reiwa: The First Generation! In this episode of Rider Jump: Aleph laments a cameo that didn’t happen, Sono enjoys a cameo that DID … Continue reading Rider Jump 25 – Reiwa: The First Generation

Time for another hyper rush of hashtag content from your favorite commentators because Aleph didn’t get these things put up on time so now we GOTTA GO FAST and get them all out to you! To that end, we’re starting out with by making good on an old threat and taking a silly mid-pandemic look … Continue reading Rider Jump 24 – Sonic and Sonic Ephemera

It’s part two of our massive ranking of the Heisei era (plus Zero-One) Kamen Rider suits.  We’re kind of surprised it went this long, but we probably shouldn’t be as we are big old nerds. If you want to see the lists without listening or just to have them for reference, they’ll be located at the … Continue reading Rider Jump 23 – Rider Suit Rankings, Part 2

There’s no new episodes so Your Humble(?) Hosts are just sort of messing around a little with that most nerdy (and internet-friendly) of pasttimes: ranking things! Join us as we take a trip through aesthetics and get comfortably real about what kinds of suits we like looking at with our eyes. If you want to … Continue reading Rider Jump 22 – Rider Suit Rankings, Part 1

It’s our last episode of Laser Knees before the Covid-induced hiatus hits and, unsurprisingly, your favorite (we’re just going to assume, don’t bother correcting us) hosts have some observations to make. In this episode, Sono appreciates some playful tweaking of the rules, Aleph takes issue with some common “wisdom” about kids who are jerks, and … Continue reading Laser Knees 115 – Burning Bridges

It’s another exciting episode of the UnKamenCast R!X! and your hosts are once more taking a look at some episodes of Kamen Rider Zero-One.  Hopefully they won’t be so bad we want to turn in our notice of resignation (spoiler: THEY ARE NOT BAD AT ALL and are, in fact, quite good!).  So, in this action-packed(?) … Continue reading UnKamenCast RX 245 – Yua, Get Your Gun

It’s time to brave the dark depths and horror of these quarantimes to fight the terror!  And to do that, an old friend’s popped back up to take the reins from ToH all-star Narahisu Arakawa to… mixed emotions.  So join your incandescent interlocutors for another wild ride toward the heart of the fun with Mashin … Continue reading Laser Knees 114 – That New Machine

Before we get going, favored independent toy retailer Kotetsu Toys is being sorely affected by (intelligent, necessary) Covid-19 countermeasures.  We know it’s a rough time for everyone right now, but if you can spare some scratch to help a member of the fandom who’s always a joy to shop with, there’s a donation page here. … Continue reading UnKamenCast RX 244 – Electric Sheep

We’re back with another episode of Laser Knees, taking a look at the newest Super Sentai series, Kiramager!  Our crazy diamonds have been shining up a storm with new toys and unfortunate implications and your incandescent interlocutors are here to see what, if anything, can be polished! In this episode of Laser Knees, Aleph is uncomfortable … Continue reading Laser Knees 113 – The Gunner’s Shovel’s Dream
