Radio Sentai Castranger [37] A Very Castranger Christmas

MEEEEEEEERY KURISUMAS!!

This week on Castranger, we talk about Drive episodes 10 and Zero and go over our theories on Proto Drive VS Machine Chaser. Meanwhile, ToQger's plot is now full steam ahead, as we talk about the weird relationships between Akira/Zaram, Schwarz, and Zed. We then go over the brain-melting Christmas episodes of Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai. Yes, TWO episodes. This is our first FIVE-EPISODE SPECIAL!

Radio Sentai Castranger [36] What the FUCK is a Mizki?

We welcome back North Caster, Cell Saga. We argue about whether Drive Type Technic (yes, Technic, not Technique) looks good or bad, we talk about the evil creepy Japanese Doc Brown, then ToQgger gets - oddly - both sadface and seriousface. Then, the real discussion starts: we critique the first live-action Guyver movie. WOW.

Radio Sentai Castranger [35] - Maho Shoujo Cinderella

An amazing episode of Castranger! We begin with some news, including the Baron and Zangetsu movie, Kamen Rider Mach, The second ToQger magazine special, and the Ninninger reveals, then we go off on some weird tangent where we theorycraft Cinderella into a tokusatsu of its own. We talk about the debut of the Door Gun, then the ToQgers run the token metahumor movie studio episode, but it's not quite just that. Kagura steals the episode, then an accomplished suit actor steals it back. We then finally talk about the Sharivan movie, and who better to cameo on a movie-centric Castranger than one of our group's movie buffs, North Caster! It's a party you don't want to miss!

"Season 2" of Castranger has begun!
