Radio Sentai Castranger

Recording a day early because Blue and Pink are going to MAGFest, North Caster fills in for Green, and Black Caster is trapped in cyberspace! We talk about Roidmude 069 stalking an actress, confirmed for Proto-Drive, ToQ-1gou Black happens and explains some plot points, then we talk about NOT THE GAIM MOVIE but our favorite hissatsu attacks! Sorry! Gaim movie next week! 

 

Also, check out the GoFundMe for Rajia Baroudi, the White Alien Ranger, as she was diagnosed with cancer.

Our first Skype guest, the legendary Crunchman, finally joins us for this week's Castranger! In Drive, Shijima Gou aka Kamen Rider Mach becomes Peter Parker, and meanwhile, the ToQger megazord invades the Kureshima family mansion. Then we talk about the ToQger Galaxy Line SOS movie, aka the Train Bitch From Outer Space.

Ressha Sentai ToQger The Movie: Galaxy Line SOS

The full five-man crew shows up to get stronger! ...wait, no, I meant to WATCH Kamen Rider Stronger. The first three episodes, though some of us have already seen more of it. We go off on a shit-ton of Showa-buttering tangents, but we eventually give our thoughts on the show and if we would keep watching. Then we go into space but not really most of the time with the final movie in the Uchuu Keiji reboot trilogy, Space Sheriff Shaider NEXT GENERATION, aka Kamen Rider Birth / Date's Abs The Movie, featuring all your favorites: Tammy, Birdgirl, and Commissioner Gordon. Yup. 

 

Next week: THE TOQGER MOVIE! FEATURING HYADAIN! *cough*

This week, on the first Castranger of 2015 and quite possibly one of our most polarizing episodes ever, North Caster returns! Kamen Rider Mach debuts; we discuss his design and Shijima Gou's... "interesting" character and methodology. Not to ignore the awesomery that is the Gunman Roidmude. Plus we learn some things about Slowdown / Density Shift. ToQger ends 2014 with a clip show and a concert. THEN. My god, then... Remember how we said apparently the second Guyver movie was going to be better? Did it end up being better? Kind of, but not really. Strap in as we follow David Hayter to Utah in Guyver: Dark Hero.

With Black and Pink Casters off canoodling somewhere, North Caster steps in to mitigate the damage. We talk about Tomari's magical cockblocking Christmas adventure, Chase's true form revealed, and the shadowy Mach tease. Meanwhile on the Plot Line- I mean Rainbow Line, just gratuitous death. We steer back onto Drive to talk about the Terebi-kun special that manages to bridge the gaps between Episode 10, Episode Zero, and the Drive-Gaim Movie Wars. Finally, we all finally with the final finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the Legendary Battle episode that all the hype over the last year has built up to. Does it payoff? Tune in and find out!

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!

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.

The Guyver (1991 live action movie)

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!
