Strap in for part two of Nathan’s coverage of Dark Horse Comics’ 2003 Ultraman Tiga manga, because “The TsuBro” goes on a pair of “Rantmasters”! This comic started off strong but quickly derailed into Todd McFarlane-fueled madness. There’s an alien villain from the TV series who’s radically re-imagined as a bad clone of Clown/Violator from Spawn. And he’s suddenly replaced in the final issue by a new villain, Kyrieloid, who looks like he did in the show, but he’s otherwise nothing like him. But

As you we wait for Chris (aka “Sentai Guy”) to finish editing our Kamen Rider Faiz episodes, Nathan (aka “The TsuBro”) discusses a bit of “Ultra Obscura”: a ten-issue Ultraman Tiga comic published by Dark Horse in 2003. While it looks like something they’d have produced themselves, it was actually made in Hong Kong in 1998 and then translated by Dark Horse. As Nathan explains, the comic starts off strong by adapting the premiere episode of the 1996 TV series, but it gets more divergent and bonkers

In this excerpt from our latest Ultraman Omega livestream, we discuss our weekend at the epic G-Fest XXX in Rosemont, Illinois. This is probably the biggest kaiju convention in the world. It’s mainly focused on Godzilla, Kong, and Gamera and the like, but Tsuburaya Productions and Ultraman had strong presences there this year; their strongest ever. It was Chris’s first convention ever, and for the first time, all three of us met in person. We also met the (in)famous Saiyan Girl! Enjoy!Watch the

In our third Henshin Men bonus re-upload, Chris returns as a pinch hitter for Jake to discuss the sequel to Masked Rider: The First, Kamen Rider: The Next. This was Chris’s (and Nate’s) first exposure to Kamen Rider V3, and as you’ll hear, their opinions on the character have evolved since this episode. What’s exciting is this film is finally getting an official U.S. release on blu-ray from Media Blasters. Enjoy!The original shownotes: “Sixty-nine, dudes!” And now that the obvious joke is out of

The first episode of our Kamen Rider Faiz coverage is coming soon!

All right, Henshin Heroes! For your bingeing pleasure (or disdain for us eating up your cellular data and device storage), here’s “Ultracut #2” with all 12 hours(!) of us discussing Ultraman (1966)! I guess Nathan (The TsuBro) keeping all that exuberance for this franchise bottled up for four years of podcasting just spilled all over the show and broke our format. Enjoy!

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) weren’t prepared for a double-whammy of Akio Jissouji in their last batch of Ultraman (1966) episodes—and Nathan’s seen them before! It doesn’t help that they recorded way past the witching hour. Rockets up the anus?! On episode 34?! All of this broke the show’s format worse than any other before it. That’s the power of Jissouji! Regardless, it’s a bittersweet episode for Nathan as he closes this chapter of the HPV3 tokusatsu

The tables have turned—Nathan is interviewed on his own podcast! Why? Because he “Mel Gibson’d” (wrote, directed, edited, produced, and starred in) a one-shot origin episode for Scyther Podcasts’ Power Rangers: The Audiodrama titled “Origins: Rito Bandora.” Nathan explains how he got the role of Rito Bandora (or Rito Revolto, depending on who you talk to) and how this special episode came about. Also, the Snarky Bonehead himself hijacks the show for a few minutes—and he’s so powerful, it actually

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

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

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

2024/10/09

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.
