Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie Commentary

Hello everyone, this is Jason David Frank and

you are listening from the Command Center, Geekcast

Radio Network. I have broken Rita's evil spell

and now I step into the white light. Ah, this

is Lord Zed from the Command Center at the Geekcast

Radio Network. Enjoy the show! You lose you lose

folks. It's episode 70 of from the command center

We are kind of sort of back So we are welcoming

you back into the command center here at geek

cast radio network the geek cast radio network

Geek cast radio calm. I am of course TF2 and

Mike joining me is mr. Jesse rise. Hello, sir.

How are you? You forgot that said Jesse Rass,

the Silver Ranger. No, wait, wait. Jesse Rass,

the Gold Ranger. Yeah, yeah. It's better than

that punk kid at the end of the movie that we've

never, ever hear from again. So come on now.

Poor Fred. Poor Fred Campbell. I think Campbell

was his wife. I thought it was cowgill for some

reason. Was it? Maybe I don't remember what we'll

get. I mean, I guess we'll get there. But yeah,

I thought it for some reason. That's how I remember

the quote in my head. But maybe I'm wrong, I

don't know. Hellman apparently is. Hellman, okay.

Okay, well then. We both learned something tonight

30 years later, folks. That makes as much sense

as all the things that we just said, so. Yeah,

exactly. So episode 70 of From the Command Center,

two years in the making. I have talked to Scotty

cash a couple of times over the years, folks.

And unfortunately, Scotty, we got to set up a

go fund me for that guy or something. He needs

a new computer. That's the only reason why he's

not here is he currently does not have a computer

to work from at home. Uh, so I'm waiting on him

to tell me the specs that he wants. So Mike,

just to, just to help the process out, I'll lay

out this audio for you. or just pennies a day,

you too can help Scotty Cash join 2025 with access

to the internet, recording capabilities. You

asshat. And then, and then, but when you use

this, just make sure you play in the background.

In the arms of the angels. No, wait. No, that

was 99, not 96. Stop it. Um, stop it. Stop it.

Anyway, uh, anniversaries folks, it's all about

anniversaries. Uh, and it is the 30th anniversary

of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the movie. I

used to have a computer with a blue drape. Can

I talk? No, I used to have a computer with a

blue ray drive. And that was a long time ago

i was two three four four years ago i now have

a different computer with a non blu ray drive

but i have a 4k player 4k blu ray player that's

attached to my tv. Which is separate from all

of this other technology that we're currently

using tonight. I was gonna say you have all of

that. Do you have a viewing globe? Because I

feel like that is the only appropriate way that

we should watch this movie. No, because I don't

have a Warner Brothers ball cap and I don't need

any neckties. Thank you, Daffy. Uh, uh, but anyway,

uh, shout factory had put up for sale for the

final time before it went out of print to the

Blu ray for mighty morph and power Rangers, the

movie. And I had watched it earlier this year,

uh, in perpetuity of the 30th anniversary. And

I got to say on Blu ray, this damn movie looks

amazing. I am, I thought that. Getting into really

quickly the the whole rights thing for this movie.

It's a nightmare Well, technically Now because

this was a if I bill if I remember correctly,

this was a 20th Century Fox Fox, yeah, technically

Disney Got Power Rangers back in a certain sort

of way They tried to get rid of it and they bought

another company and they're gonna I'm sure somebody's

going out like, okay We got this we got you kidding

me. We got Power Rangers again. I thought we

got rid of that property So it's a film, right

thing. I believe it's a, yeah, it's just a film

rights thing because obviously Hasbro owns power

Rangers now. I don't understand why, like, ladies

and gentlemen, you can, and I think that's why

shout factory was having the going out of print

sale for the mighty Morphin power Rangers. The

movie 1995 Blu ray was because. That the the

sale from Saban to Hasbro and whatever else I

could be wrong about that But I think that's

why that sale had happened well as far as the

blu -ray going out of print and whatever But

it's like come on people that make it people

the people that shout probably were doing this

to head off a phone call that would start like

Didn't think you were getting a mouse cameo on

this did you I can't believe you slipped a Mickey

in here Oh wow! Jesus! Hey Mike! Guess what time

it is? It's morphin' time. Oh no! It's lawsuit

time! Not anymore! But yeah, you can't, it's

so sad that you can't actively, legally purchase

rent. This movie anywhere. Cause say what you

will about the movie, say what you will, whatever

it's I, we're going to get into it. Cause we

are doing an actual commentary for this folks.

Right. First commentary that we've done in a

long time, uh, for anything on the GCRN. It's

I think the last, well, no, technically did we

do a commentary for transformers? I don't, I

forget. I don't know. It's hard to say who knows,

who knows, but I will say. And so so that largely

speaking, this is why a lot of us, you know,

can't revisit certain aspects of our childhood,

because it's it's like, OK, well, who technically

owns it? Well, we own the company that produced

it, but we don't own the IP or what happens a

lot. So like shows like not specifically Power

Rangers, but like Muppet Babies, for instance,

or some sitcoms. Okay, so we own the rights to

the sitcom, but we have to go back and renegotiate

the music rights. And it's just all a cluster.

But I think when the dust settles a little bit

at some point, Power Rangers, you'll see it on

Disney Plus. I'm sure, you know, I'm sure it'll

come back and, you know, it'll be all that. But

when did you, did you see this originally in

the theaters, Mike? Yeah, but I don't remember

seeing it in the theaters. Okay. So. This movie,

there's a little bit of trauma involved in this

movie. Oh no. So I think I've talked about this

on the, on the, on this podcast before, but I

was one of those kids in 1993 that when I first

saw the commercial advertising Power Rangers,

I show the Joe, I set my alarm. or Saturday morning,

I want to say it was 630 or seven, whatever time

it came on. And I set my alarm to wake up and

watched it. And I was hooked ever since. So two

years later, when they announced there's a movie,

you better bet I was freaking out. But being

10 at the time, I had to rely on those pesky

caregivers I called parents to bring me. Well,

those cheapskates would not bring me. Need to

go see this movie until it appeared at the dollar

theater. Oh, you had to go see it in village

eight, did you? Well, in Indiana, the dollar

theater that I went to has since burned down,

so I can't even drive, but it gets worse. So

we're there. We go in. We get our cheap snacks

refreshment. We walk. We wade through the sticky

floor. to go and sit in the subpar seats to what

I don't care. I am all about watching this movie.

I am ready for this experience. We get about

seven and a half minutes in. Everything goes

dark. Some a -hole hit a transformer nearby.

The theater lost power. We got our like four

bucks back and I didn't get to see this till

VHS. Little jaded, are you? Just a smidge. Yeah,

I am pretty sure I saw this in the theater in

1995 because this was, this was huge. This was,

you know, good. I was going to say, I mean, you're

right. It is huge. And what people kind of take

for granted nowadays, but like back in the nineties,

when a TV show was big enough to get a movie,

That didn't happen very often. I mean, like Ninja

Turtles was an animated property, got a live

action movie, got several of them. But for Power

Rangers to be a live action show and then get

a live action movie, that was huge. That was

a big deal for a franchise. It was, it was one

of the biggest things in the world at the time,

especially at least in this country. But I, you

know, it was, it was insane. Absolutely. It was,

it was crazy. It was, it was. It just followed

a trend of, of franchises getting the quote unquote

title of the movie. Right. Uh, you know, we had

transformers, the movie in 1986, we had. My little

pony, the movie we had, he managed Shira, the

secret of the sword that didn't technically have

the movie on it, but we had all these things

with the movie at the end of it and Mighty Morphin

Power Rangers, the movie, because let's face

it after. When did this, this happened at the.

Where were they in the show? Was the show at

the end of the second or third? We're looking

at so looking back we were in we were still in

MMPR We weren't we had the Indian Rangers. So

we're in that like season two early season three

All the episodes when you watch the show going

back and you know as a kid I kind of could tell

but I didn't think about it but the shows that

take place in Australia when they go on this

field trip were all the episodes that they had

to film while they were also filming the movie

because, you know, Saban being the cheapo that

he is, uh, well, okay, we're, we're filming this

movie, but you still have 63 episodes of, uh,

Power Rangers that you've got to put out too.

So yeah, exactly. Yeah. Um, and you can really

tell the one you can really tell is when Aisha's

hair, when she gets the braids, that's a pretty

good, that's a pretty good indicator of they've

started filming the movie. Yeah, absolutely So

yeah, it's just 90s were a crazy crazy time When's

the last time you watched this because like I

already said I watched it earlier this year for

the 30th anniversary It's probably been a year

or two I now have kids and so I have shown them

to at least one of them and I you know It's one

of those things I try to revisit regularly, but

it's been a hot minute since I've watched the

film. I have kind of a, I'll say a love hate

relationship with it. I really, you know, as

a kid, I liked it, but as an adult, I, you know,

I look at it with different lens and I pull apart

certain things and as an adult, it makes it a

little less enjoyable here and there, but you

know, we can get into that as we, as we go. Yeah.

What's the thing you remember most about it before

catching up with it? Uh, the shitty Megazords.

Like, that's the one thing, you know, you were

talking about, you know, singing on Blu -ray

and a lot of it. And I will say the graphics

hold up about as well in 2025 as they did in

1995. It was cool at first. I was like, oh, this

is clearly a computer. But like, man, I would

have much rather had them spend a lot more money

on those Zord suits. than what we got. Cause

wow. Wow. I am a firm believer in, and I say

this all the time over on studio 2009, which

is a show we've been doing for the last. five

and a half, almost six years. We started, Steve

Megatron and I started Stereo 2009, June 2nd

of 2020. And it's basically our show where I

basically, if you can, anything audio or visual,

if you can hear it, you can watch it, we'll cover

it kind of thing. Unless it's something I don't

want to cover. Like you're probably not going

to, I'll be cut dead covering Lord of the Rings

in there. Cause I just don't care about Bilbo

and his eleventy first birthday party. Anyway,

you shall not cover is what you're saying. Yeah,

pretty much. I don't give two shits about that

damn ring. You can toss it in the sea for all

I care. That's fair. But, uh, where the hell

was I going with this? Oh, so I was, I was talking

about how terrible the, uh, the, so I don't,

I'm a person that I don't feel like things need

to hold up to today's standards. I feel like

you need to look at them in the time that they

were made. So when I say on Blu ray that I think

that the movie looks. Good on Blu -ray, the quality

of the visual of the film versus VHS quality

film. Right. Right. That's what, that's what

I'm meaning more. So yeah, you're absolutely

right. Those suits, they crazy like them 1995,

but it was 1995. It was what they had at the

time. Like I could. Yeah. I remember as a kid,

I thought the movie upgraded suits were cool.

They weren't necessarily my favorite. I was like,

well, how are you going to do that on the show?

Spoiler alert, they didn't. They didn't, no.

So I thought the practical suits were fine. I

didn't really like Kimberly's helmet redesign,

but overall I thought it was really cool. But

it was just like, we do all this, this, this,

and this, and then we get to the Zords and I'm

like... Yeah even in nineteen ninety five i was

like i think someone needed at least another

pass or two on those so the actual like morphing

power ranger suits great the zords that was always

that was kind of a let down when i saw the movie.

There's only one zord in one suit that actually

matters right sorry not sorry. Well, and you

know, here's the funny thing. I actually thought

the ectomorphicons to the bad guys, I thought

they were fine. Now when it was kind of created,

well, I was like, okay, that one's not great.

But the you know, when they pull them up from

the ground, I was like, yeah, I was like, okay,

those are kind of cool. But then unfortunately,

the Zords and then oozes sort of Metamorphosis

into that one wasn't great either. And I was

like, man, you spent all this money on. That's

what you get. Yeah. Then again, I was nineteen

ninety five money. That's not today. I couldn't

even imagine. And I I'm of course was like never

one of those guys that liked the original PlayStation

graphics where it was all like hard. angles on

stuff and everyone's like, Oh man, this is really,

I'm like, give me 2d until they figure out this

3d stuff. Give me good 2d. I'm fine. Yep. Yep.

Yep. Yep. Oh, you know, and other people are,

were different. And so I'm sure there were some

kids that were like, my mind is blown. I'm like,

you're an idiot, but whatever. Okay. Yeah. The

only, I've said it for 30 years. If he was still

here, I'd still say it. It doesn't matter. Like

just because he's no longer with us. I've, but

I've said this for 30 years. The best part about

this movie is the white ranger and the Ninja

Falcon Zord. It was like the only one that felt

complete. Right. And actually the, the individual

Zords were not bad when they formed the mega

Zord. Yeah. Like i'm staring at the ninja megazord

right now like i've got the toy right here and

i'm looking at it and i'm like nothing about

this is even remotely close to the movie and

it's like okay i get it you gotta up the production

value but man just just make it a suit. Just

at this point, just put a suit on a guy and just

shoot around it. You can do it. I've seen it

done in many films where it's looked good for

what it is, especially in 1995 times. You can

figure this. Hire someone that worked on any

of the sentries or anything to film it as a cinematographer.

It would have been much better. That to me was

always the thing that stuck out and that was

always my least favorite part of the film. So

as we're recording this and before we get into

the actual commentary the movie folks and seeing

is how is the seventy episode of the podcast

i feel it's appropriate to say this is because

it's been the news that after fifty years. The

original power rangers the thing is no more.

They are shutting it down the original Sentai

or whatever it is. So yeah, now Hasbro is going

to have to come up with this stuff out of their

own asses and figure out what to do. Cause they're

not going to have any old footage to, they're

going to have to create all new footage and all

new stuff and figure it out from now on if they

want the brand to continue. So i've heard rumors

that there and there's always rivers but that

they've got something in the works now that we

as as power ranger fans we have going for us

is the things that made power rangers prohibitively

expensive. Uh, the sword fights, the, the special

effects and all that stuff is significantly cheaper

than it ever was. Um, now, so if you're going

to do something original, you can, uh, one of

the funny things that came out, uh, and I know

we're talking about the film. We're not talking

about the center specifically, but one of the

things that came out when toe wave finally just

said, said, Hey, we're going to. 50 years is

a good run. We're going to stop with the Sentai

is how much Power Rangers specifically the toys.

Yeah. Sent I because most some sent I fans are

like well Power Rangers is sort of the bastard

stepchild and it existed But come to find out

when Bandai was doing the toys That's kind of

what helped propel sent I as long as it had and

once that source of revenue came That's when

they started feeling that the herd and yeah,

so it's kind of funny how they all kind of came

back full circle Yep, yep. Yep. Absolutely Alright

folks, I think we're gonna give you a three two

one count and we are gonna get into the movie

in a moment What is that odious stench? Smells

like Teenagers You obviously don't know who you're

dealing with mr. Blazin head Really? Yeah, we're

the Power Rangers. Where's my autograph book?

Power Rangers, huh? So, show it on still using

a bunch of kids to do his dirty work. Well, meet

my kids! This is a reminder, this movie is rated

PG, mild violence. All right, folks, we are back

with From the Command Center, episode 70. This

is the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the movie,

1995, 30th anniversary commentary. We are on

the 20th Century Fox logo. We are at marker,

tell us the marker, 18 seconds of the film. This

is based off of the DVD whatever and in three

two one click I'm glad they've kind of kept some

version of this logo because it's just classic.

Oh, yeah All right breath the star wars crawl

right can you imagine if olivia benson had read

this i was gonna bring that up and we got to

that like can you imagine but also like can you

imagine this actress is reading these lines and

she what the hell is an inner dimension all right

whatever we're paying let me just go I. Yeah,

this this part, I remember this part like. It

just I don't know, it just made it feel more

real, like, oh, my gosh, this is actually happening.

Yep. All right, here we go. You got to add the

movie. Do you remember as we're getting into

the the parachuting, do you remember the McDonald's

toys? Yes. Either way, this scene right here

is exactly why I eventually went skydiving. There

are two things in my entire lifetime that made

me want to skydive. And then I realized, oh crap,

I have cerebral palsy. There's no way I can skydive.

It was this and it was drop zone. Listen, Mike,

if bulk Ken Skydive. You can do it. I believe

in you. Not at my age now. Also, this is one

of my not my this is definitely not my first,

but this is one of my first. There's some this

soundtrack was rocking. Oh, yeah, it was. Like,

I don't know if 20th Century Fox had the rights

to some of these songs or if they had to pay,

but like, I'm sure they paid. They didn't, they

didn't spare much expense on some of these things.

Cause these expensive songs. Yeah. I mean, you

know, you get the chili peppers here. You got,

uh, you got, um, whole bunch of stuff. Also,

I love how Tommy, because Tommy always has to

be different. Tommy has to have a board. Oh yeah

he's got he can't just sky drive he's got a sky

he's got a skyboard sky surf man absolutely.

Also i want to i wanted to go to this high school

i want to go to angel growth because they have

skydiving fundraisers. Adam looks like he's out

of control. I know and I can't remember I I know

I Was able to ask JDF once in an interview how

much of this was him how much of this was green

-screened and I believe There were a lot of insurance

things. So I don't know that the the actual like

skydiving with the parachutes I don't know that

they were allowed to do that. I don't know either.

I don't know without looking it up and doing

some research. I have no clue I believe I remember

JDF telling a group of us that he was all gung

-ho and most of them were all gung -ho, but the

insurance companies were like, uh -uh. Now, we

can lose stunt people. We're not losing you all.

Screw that kid, by the way. As a dad now, if

my kid ever talked to me like that, as I've just

skydived, he's walking home. The question is,

which kid would have said that to you? Honestly,

it's my youngest. I can tell you that right now.

He's the one that once looked at me and said,

daddy, I don't love you. Oh, wow. And then he

looks at me and he goes, well, sometimes I do

and sometimes I don't. He was three. Eh. By the

way, that is incredibly hard, what they are doing.

Oh yeah, absolutely. That's why I say I'm pretty

sure for insurance purposes and stuff like that,

that they weren't able to do that. I know JDF

was always gung ho for anything like that, but.

Yeah. Jordan had and that right there is where.

It's very funny because you can tell he's trying

really hard to hide his Australian accent and

it just keeps me out. Nope. They haven't even

jumped yet. Okay, so this is about the part I

think we were in the rollerblading section when

the power cut out Oh, no. Oh, no. So you didn't.

Wow. Yeah. When I say it was very early on, it

was it was about this. It's crazy. Like I never

even got to see a morph. Like none of that. That's

nuts. I look into this, I'm reminded of. I was

obsessed with rollerblading. We were in the nineties.

Oh yeah. Rollerblading was king rollerblading,

roller skating, roller, uh, not roller, uh, skateboarding.

Yeah. Well, skateboarding came a little bit later

after, after, you know, too many of us have tripped

and fallen and realized that we are not roller

Tony Hawk. That was kind of on the after that

sort of health craze of, of rollerblading. Duck,

what are you guys doing? To be over there As

an adult I am rewatching the show and then the

movie I tell you what, these two were so undervalued.

Oh, absolutely. They were. I, I, I, I thoroughly

have much respect and love for the bulk and skull

characters. I mean, Oh boy, don't open that.

Well, this symbol always, I never understood

it. I'm like, is that like a fat dragon lying?

What is, what is it? And I feel like that was

a symbol that they took from the Sentai. Probably.

Again, I'd have to do research, folks. I've seen

it in the show, so I'm pretty sure. It's been

around a minute since I've seen Kaku Ranger,

which is the one that the ninja stuff comes from.

But again, it's like, of all the things that

you pick, why anyway? They probably just needed

something to... Show that it's something new

and different something we hadn't seen before

here in the states for Yeah, and as an adult

I realize you know the challenges between a TV

that TV show that is owned by a certain group

of people and a movie that's owned by a certain

group of people, but There's always really disappointed

that either news was just sort of created and

then Nothing, you know, yeah. Well, yeah But

would you want him dumbed down to TV standards?

No. That's pretty, that's pretty bad ass on his.

Absolutely. He is. I'm not saying that's not

like in order for them to get Ivan in and all

the stuff that he does to TV standards, TV standards

at the time, they would probably have to take

something away to it. That's true from it. So

That's true. I do like this in the sort of improved

command center building. I like that we can actually

see parts of the command center that we can never...

It was always so dark before. We never really

saw the... What are your thoughts on the movie

Alpha in Zordon? Alpha sounds the same. I mean,

I'm pretty sure Alpha is the same. Yeah. I think

Zordon is the same, if I'm not mistaken, and

we'll figure this out after the fact, folks,

when we go through the cast and stuff. But. Well,

no, I just mean the designs that the glow up

that they gave. Yeah, it's fine. I hate it. It's

good. The like lump on his head. Oh, I didn't,

I'll have to look at it again. I didn't see it.

I was, Oh yeah. Yeah, that's weird. Oh, he looks

weird. What does he look kind of sickly? Yeah.

I thought, you know, Zordon looks fine. It's

it's a normal head. That's kind of detailed.

I don't quite understand. He's got Zordon. Yeah.

Zordon has got more detailed to him than he normally

does in the show. Cause again, the show is the

show. It's just like a ghostly kind of disem.

I don't want to say disemboweled, but it's just

kind of a ghostly head there. It's kind of like,

it's kind of like Zed. Zed kind of got it like,

like That's not really like that's movies. Ed

Rita looks the same. Goldar looks the same. I

hate him. Get him out of here. The pig. Oh yeah.

I hated that. You know, Goldar is kind of like

a younger, sexier version of Goldar. Um, I'm

kind of digging it. I honestly, I wish in Goldar's

fun. I like Goldar. So in a beast more first,

they brought back a version of Goldar like his.

Reconstant called Goldar Maximus and they did

it. Yeah. I wish they could have gotten the movie

version of that suit. That would have been awesome.

Yeah. Yeah. Zed looks, looks cool. I don't like

the voice though. It's too Robert Axelrod. I

know it is him. I just, it's, it's too deep.

I don't like how the Z on his head, like they

like pulled it down. It looks kind of stunted

and stupid. And then they kind of took the Z.

It looks a bit like an N. It was like, okay,

don't copy this. Don't make it obvious. And then

they just did. Yeah. I also think it's funny

that That you know you have Barbara Goodson reprising

her role as the voice of of Rita, but it's like

we still It still looks like a badly. It sounds

like a badly dubbed Yeah, her voice over. I'm

like we couldn't get that right Okay this right

here I have as a kid I would wake up in the morning

and I would I would recreate that all the time.

Yep And I you know, I it took me A lot longer

than I care to admit that I've a news is the

same terrifying dude from Raiders of the Lost

Ark Yup. He was bell -locked. Bell -locked, yeah.

Yeah. Paul Freeman. When I first read that, I

was like, oh, it is. I see it now. Yeah. Yeah.

They definitely did something to Zedd's voice.

There's an effect there. Yeah. It's too much.

It's too deep. I know it's Robert Axelrod and

I love that it is still Robert, but it just shut

up, Rita. You know that again look at the Z on

the top of the set. I don't like how they make

it. It's weird. Yeah, it's very weird An odious

stench Teena just I'll tell you is as much as

that it like Ooze is fun in this movie. And as

I was disappointed, there wasn't much continuity

between the TV show and the movie. But Ivan Ooze

has there's so many great lines from this film.

Oh, yeah. And like the way they teleport onto

that rock like that. That is very picturesque

right there. Yeah. They knew what they were doing.

Oh, yeah. I love this. What are you kids doing

here? This line from Kimberly. What the heck

is that? Just the way she can just spit that

out And you can clearly tell it's him oh, yeah

And I know it's because he's out of the glowing

pink light, but his entire face changed purple

color Oh, yeah, like and I know it's because

he's no longer in the glowing pink light of his

egg thing, but 6 ,000 years. Sorry, folks. We

know this like the back of our head. Oh, yeah.

Mr. Raisinghead. It's my autograph book. Ranges,

huh? Meet my kids. See, even the the the digital

effects there again in ninety five years overlooking,

you know, not the best, but I still thought it

was cool. Yeah, because again, it it leads to

like a live action practical effect. That guy.

Yep. Yep, absolutely. Well, there's room down

there Are you ready? Oh, yeah, like I said the

soundtrack on this is rocket Devo You know This

action sequence right here, I mean It's so good.

It's so good. The stunt coordinators on that.

I love all of that. So many quips, one liners.

I mean, this is. Again, it's Power Rangers, it's

cheesy, it's fun, but this is like exactly what

this part of the movie is exactly what it needs

to be. Yeah. And, you know. Different movie,

but the latest Power Ranger movie, the biggest.

issue I have with it. And I liked it overall.

Right. They don't morph till two thirds of the

way of the movie. And this movie is smart in

that, OK, within the first 20 minutes, we got

to get to what we know from the shows. Action

sequence morphing. Yep. There it is. There it

is. Sit down. That's it. No notes. Yep, no notes.

Man, shorts and boots. Ugh, takes me back. Yep.

Alright, here we go. Here we go. Well? You know

what time it is. Yep. This is what we're all

waiting for. Yep See, I don't like I don't like

the I know I like I like all of the the suit

redesigns It wasn't until till recently that

I noticed so when they morph The yellow or the

color around the morpher is like the morpher

holder Yeah, and it's weird that they just it

couldn't take the Morpher out. That was always

very weird to me, because I have one of the movie

Morphers, not the actual ones, but the toy. Yeah,

it was weird to me. Yeah, Kimberley's is the

one I don't... The other ones, the redesigns

are kind of subtle. A little bit, you know, the

shape is just a little off, but otherwise the

show, but Kimberly's is the one that is the most

different. Ivan is already there. Oh my God.

Why is your brain coming out of your face? Alpha.

The other thing about this talking about the

command center layout and the sort of glow up,

there's a lot of good stuff there. A control

panel looks like Legos. Yep. Didn't like it like

the like the control panels on the old one. Yeah.

Otherwise, I think it's I think it's a nice improvement.

Yeah, just not feeling alpha here. No, not at

all. His... His speech is so good here. Renaissance.

It's time to pay the piper. Oh, this list right

here. Yeah. The situation. A Brady Bunch reunion.

That I laughed as I remember laughing as a kid,

but but not really understanding why that's kind

of funny. As a kid watching this and watching

the Command Center, even though it's the movie

version, it's not the TV version, watching it

being destroyed, that was a little hard. Yeah.

Oh yeah, it was very hard. It was like, oh my

God, he destroyed the Power Rangers Command Center.

No. Have you read any of the interviews about

these suits and what it was like to have to try

to film in them? It's been a long time since

I read those interviews, but I, I remember what

some of the very long, very short, not great.

No, it's kind of like, uh, Michael Keaton. I

want to be able to turn my head. Damn it. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, Supposedly, because what we don't see

in the finished movie is we don't see all the

other modes. And I'm trying to remember, because

apparently they filmed something with Adam. And

that's gonna bug me. But like, Adam had a thing.

They all kind of had a thing. So like, you know,

Aisha had headlights, Rocky has his scanning.

You know, Billy has his little taser trapeze

thing. Yeah, Kimberly had her whip and then Adam

had something else and I cannot remember what

it was. Me six six six Again Kimberly's Kimberly's

one -liners. Yeah, so good Kimberly's one -liners

gotta love them And again the sound effects mixed

with the music with the action so good Okay,

Adam had us he had like a sonar attachment to

his helmet. That's what oh, okay. Yeah I knew

I knew he had something that was filmed. It just

for whatever reason was never used, didn't you

know, I had to make the cut. So I don't know

if they didn't look good. It might exist on the

Internet. I don't remember ever seeing it. There's

a lot of. There's a lot of bits and pieces from

this movie that I've heard some of the actors

talk about that were filmed that didn't make

it in, but I haven't seen the light of day. Oh,

that's gross. Open over. The the saddest part

about like watching this and like thinking about

oh man where's the suits now all these things

have been sold off oh yeah well because you know

when they cancel power rangers finally i mean

they anything and everything they had a sold

it so where me. Yeah, they sold everything. So

the good news is a lot of them are in collectors

hands, um, forums, but still it's like, man,

you know. Oh, that's what Billy had. Yeah, that's

what he had. Did you miss me? I don't, I don't

quite see how that's an upgrade from his normal

weapon, but there you go. Well, I mean, you can't

really, you know, launch yourself up to the thing.

With a power lance. Not with that attitude. You

can't. Well, he probably still has the power

lance. These are just additional movie weapons.

And I love how we get six seconds of saga. One,

two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

10, 11, 12. I love that kick. Assumes are pretty

awesome. I wish and I know they were a pain to

film in but I wish in the show when we got the

metallic armor Yeah, I wish that's what we got.

Oh, yeah, since then, you know The kick that

Tommy just did the bicycle kid I'm like Okay,

now I gotta look up the dates on which movie

premiered first, because I know a certain Mortal

Kombat character had that bicycle kick at one

point. I think Tommy rocked it first. I don't

remember off top of my head. I'm sure somebody's

here yelling at us, but I'm going to give the

credit to Tommy because I'm biased. Therefore.

Well, that's funny because all of them cut new

weapons or new fun things. Yeah. But Saba's pretty,

they didn't touch Saba. Yeah, they didn't. And

the, the white tiger Zord, none of the Zords,

none of the original Zords show up. No. Because

they. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and the, the blade blasters,

again, not a fan of some of the aesthetics, like

the blade blasters are kind of dumb. The communicators

don't look as cool as they did on the show either.

No. You know, you don't really see them close

up. I was not a fan. Yeah. No. And I have always

wondered in the, in the area zone of where angel

grove, the city is wearing a Sam. Hell is the

damn command center that they can just walk there.

It's right outside the abandoned warehouse district

where all the Megazord fights happen. Yeah, it

is like six miles outside of the, I don't know.

Cause like, They always morph there they always

teleport not morph they always teleport there

and it's like okay so if the morphing grid is

dead and Zordon is near death and. So this part

always confused me okay so you're telling me

this whole time Zordon has been in a sack underneath

his head that I'm like are you wait what. They

had to, I'm assuming they just had to show him

as being a, being a human to convey the whole.

Look, I was 15 when this movie came out. I'm

assuming they had to just do this to convey as

look kids. It's yeah. Yeah. You know, some of

this, but I was like, Whoa, wait a minute. What

is this? What does this mean for this entire

show? Yeah, exactly. This dude's been lying in

a giant like fortress of a small fortress of

solitude studio apartment. Yep. Yep. Also lying

on a bed of crystals cannot be comfortable. Yep.

No. It's like lying on a bed of nails Yeah, I

can see how that that that could conceivably

be comfortable if distributed enough you get

one crystal that grows in your back that's not

Yeah, Richie Horowitz, I'm glad they use the

the same voice they even use the same body Actor

for alpha if I remember correctly but this suit

as a whole I just Not a fan that they made changes

just to say it made changes. I didn't think it

was that cool. Yeah I never noticed how much

how different the head was until now. Yeah You

know what it reminds me you remember the lost

in space movie. It looks like that ship Yeah

It does. And you're right, those buttons are

just Lego bricks. It just I was like, man, I

know you're trying to make it look cool, but

you just it doesn't look that cool, even in like

1995. Yeah, no definition. Yeah, absolutely.

Hold on to the night. I didn't mind this this

new version of Zed's Zed and Rita's palace. This

was fine. Yeah, this is fun. This is good. It

feels like the Flintstones a little bit, but

yeah. No, I was totally fine with that move.

Me. Taking over. He is so good in this. Yeah,

he is. Hmm, snow globe. Earthquake. Jingle dorks

was a good, that was a good insult. I used that

for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. You know, again,

going back to Goldar's glow up, I just think

it's sad in Hollywood that we can't, we can't

let actors Age gracefully. We had to recast a

younger, sexier Goldar and, you know, I just

let Goldar be Goldar, you know, wrinkles and

all. We don't, we don't need a younger Botox

version of, of younger, sexier Goldar. I always

did wonder how you got feathers out of that,

but I don't even want to know. I don't want to

know how you got fed. That's like. Asking about

t -rexes and feathers. Don't. Oh, yeah. My Tengu

warriors. Well, that's what's funny, too, is

we got. We got these in the show and they were

pretty close to that, so it's like, OK, we could

pull some things from the movie, but. Yeah, none

of the things. Think the best thing these guys

ever did is when they come back later Yes, after

they fail we'll get to that, but I just that's

the best thing with them As far as gold ours

glow up I'm just glad it was still Kerrigan man

is the voice they changed his voice It would

just make it so worse and you know what really

frustrates me so Anytime they've done anything

gold are adjacent. They don't they haven't had

him back in any way but like that's not a I won't

say that's in a hard voice to do but I mean it's

very specific but like everybody that's tried

to do some version of that has been way off way

off Yeah, I don't know if that's intentional

or just they're hiring the cheapest person, but

I'm like listen for Per scale I could do a knockoff

of that if you're going to and be more faithful

Just hire the guy that originally did it right.

Yeah. What was it. Well they missed a they missed

an aisha pun here. You know she could have said

they're having a bad day being a goat monster

but. I might have been one step too far. Yeah,

I think that was, even for 1995 standards, a

little too far. Now, I know there are pictures.

I don't know if there's, I don't think there's

any footage. There is not footage related to

Olivia being to Mariska Hargitay. I don't think

there is. I don't think there is, but I know

there are pictures. I've seen them and they're

not AI. This predates AI. Thank God. Yeah, I

just want to hear her voice, you know So what

were your when you walk first watches what were

your thoughts on him on No, the, uh, on, on pig

face. Yeah. Get rid of him. You didn't need him.

I know he's there for comedic relief and whatever,

but like where's Scorpino? Where's any, uh, like

squat or Babu or Finster or anybody. Yeah. I

remember as a kid watching and I just kept thinking

in the back of my mind, what did I miss? Yep.

Me too. Because like, Ooze gets a backstory.

Yep. He's just there. We're supposed to assume

that he's always been somebody. Yeah, exactly.

And Mr. Pigface here, and I'll get his name right

later, but Mr. Pigface is like, he asks, you

know, Ooze asks him a question. He specifically

says, how could I forget? I never knew. Like

that's how new of a character it is. Like you're

trying to continue the continuity. And then introducing,

no, don't do that. Stop it. I think it's mordant.

That's what it, yeah, that's what it is. Mordant.

Yeah, that's what his name is. Yep. That's what

his name is. I still don't care, but that's what

his name is. I will say the one consistent thing

about this movie. The tv show is the level of

acting no one no one thought to elevate their

game here. I mean. And i say that is someone

who loves all of these actors. I really would

have liked to have seen a movie version of the

putties. Just for a minute, you know? Yeah, but

I get it. Or like an oozed up version of the

putties, like Zed creates putties and then Ooze

kind of does his thing and so they're a little

Oozified. I think that's why we got the Ooze

men. Is that what they're supposed to be? Yeah,

I just think it would have been... cool to kind

of, you know, Zed could have done some putties

and he could have just snoozed on them or whatever.

And the Oozmen were technically slightly smarter

than the putties. That's not hard. Okay. But

I'm saying like, when they're like, where are

they? I don't know where they are. And they're

all sneaking around. You wouldn't have putties

sneaking around. Even the Zed putties, even when

Zed first appears and you get the putties with

the Z on the chest, even the Z putties wouldn't

be that smart. Well, they could they could sneak

around, but they would get found when all of

a sudden you hear. Yeah, yeah. And this right

here is when I went through puberty. That's when

I knew I like women. Uh huh. This was this was

quite a bit for a 10 year old like it was one

of those where I was I saw I was like, oh, she's

she's attractive. But then I remember looking

over at my parents going, am I am I allowed to

watch it? OK. See for me in 1995. It was Nicole

Kidman and Batman forever. Oh, yeah, that one's

a good one, too Yeah That was Pete Nicole Kidman

for me and she's got she's got the see look she's

got the little side handle Yeah, it looks like

more of a Yep, and then all of a sudden look

it's gone Yep, it's gone And now she's going

to hit everybody. Thank you. Which one if you

had to pay oh, don't see your hands. I talk got

ninja or get ninja or the hell out of here Short

-circuit that dog. God you don't like nins or

I Hate ninja or I'd take that nah No, no way

I'd take her putting a stick in my chest any

day over having to ever talk to ninja or ever

again Say so don't Everybody knows Zordon. Come

on. I mean, we went to high school together.

Of course I know Zordon. Uh huh. I haven't seen

him in years. He still did the thing with the

beer? Uh huh. Because you know she looks like

she's taking such good care of this planet Well,

I mean, I mean look at all the cities and and

you know people hanging out and I look there's

a coffee shop over there and Maybe it's just

an all -natural planet with you know, just jungles

and tree houses and Wookiees. Oh my Yes, Jim.

His ear holes bug me here. Yeah, they're weird.

So does his race just not have ears? Is that

how that works? They just have I guess. Ivan's

ooze. You know, the sad part is, is corporations

basically do this now, except... Well, yeah.

I mean, they're not necessarily making parents

leap to their doom, but not far off. Well, I

don't know. And, you know, they might miss Ryan's

comment. Yeah, right. This reminds me of space

balls when they're walking through the desert

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

ding ding ding ding I just caught the I Just

caught that that's there. I don't I don't know

why all the watches I didn't realize that was

quite beyond there, but there we go. It was too

distracted The monolith, yeah Okay, even even

as a ten -year -old I could pick up on the tension

between her and Tommy like, yeah, it is thick.

When everybody fell asleep, you can't tell me

they didn't bone. They were behind the they were

behind. That's that's how he got the Falcon and

Adam got. He got first pick. Don't touch it.

Don't don't. You sniffed it and you're going

to touch it anyway. Don't do that. Also, this

was the thing I liked about this movie. Now as

an adult, this is a PSA. Don't ever let your

kids have, have any sort of ooze or slime. No,

you don't want to take the risk of it being,

of it, you know, mine could turning it. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Turning in the whole town into zombies.

Yeah. Exactly. So that stuff's a bitch to clean

out of carpets. Yes, yes, it is. Well, I mean,

just just to be on the safe side. Better not

do. Yeah. Like I said, Mike, we should be watching

this on a on a viewing globe. No. I do like that

in the movie, you know, their their globe is

more high def than the one on the TV show. Yeah.

I also think it's funny that David fielding who

is the voice of Zordon he could do the voice

when he was in the tube but when he's out of

the tube we have to have the actor doing it we

can't we can't we can't have the same voice actor

doing both oh no no no oh it's okay it's not

that big of a deal. Mike, if deep inside of us

is an animal, both of us is an animal spirit

waiting to be released. What if you're on that

monolith and she blows the dust on you? What

animals coming out? I have no idea. You know,

I want to say something cool and majestic, but

knowing my luck, it'd be a damn emu or something.

God, I love those suits. They look great in the

movie and the TV show got real Well, we yeah,

yeah But yeah, no, those are cool so I recently

read an interview with Johnny young Bosch. Yep

who? So this line about being a frog that was

his idea though. Yeah, that was his idea because

he was eating Yeah, well, I read that too Yeah.

According to him, he, uh, he had a lot less to

do than you thought. And so he brought this up

and they, they were like, okay, well let's shoot

it the way we want to shoot it. And then we'll,

we'll, if there's time, we'll get a take. And

they, they did and they liked it and it's one

of the best lines in the movie. Yeah. Um. At

least you got a kiss out of it. Yeah. And now

and now he doesn't nobody else exists. Mm hmm.

Oh, she is thirsty. Mm hmm. You told me. Sky,

I mean, shit. Mm hmm. Yeah, you're a frog. Suck

it up. He is. You are a full kid. And then I

would never get hired for this because of the

way Hollywood is, even on this planet. Yep. Exactly.

I do think it was a cool design choice to have

their power coins on their chest on the suits

like the like the toys. Yeah. That always kind

of threw me off as a kid. I'm like, well, why

does my toy have this? But it always and I had

the Green Ranger action figure. And if you took

a shield off, he had the. Summer as some sea

serpent that was supposed to be a drag i don't

know yeah that's the toys were weird they never

really translated the show stuff to the toys

so well they made they made some interesting

choices to differentiate some of the sentai toys

to the power ranger toys and they didn't all

make sense. Yeah. I love to this part as a kid.

This guy, this guy, like he gets a he gets a

gold star for this film. I mean, oh, yeah, 110

percent underrated actor. Yeah. They're back.

They're there. Oh, look at, hold on. Look at

the guy. I went, well, nevermind. There's a guy

just to the left of either news behind his back

that you can see him in frame here. He you watch

him. He is not actually hitting anything like,

you know, he's just, you know, it's for sound

purpose to that. Holy cow. That looks terrible.

Now it's on a chalkboard. Look, I mean, this

guy's still, I mean, he's not even putting up,

he's slow motion. Yep. Yep. Clearly that's clearly

that was Velcro. Oh, you know what? Yeah. Yeah.

100%. Wow. Some terrible background acting there.

Yep. Also, I wonder how I was not one of them,

but I wonder how because I was a chubby kid,

so I would have got my butt kicked. But I wonder

how many kids like because of Tommy basically

wore ninja pants to school every day. It's funny

you say that. So I was 15 at the time and I was

trying, no, not ninja pants, but I was trying

to wear white jeans when he switched from green

to white. I was trying to wear white jeans to

school every day after the switch. Of course.

Yeah. It didn't work out so well. But that always

made me I started to notice that as a kid I was

like man he's always got the and then the shoes

too. Oh yeah. Is he wearing that to school? Yeah

you got a color code. But you can tell he you

know Tommy was first off he was 20 something

playing a high school student so that I did that.

But the character like obviously had to be somewhat

intimidating because. I don't care what high

school you were at in the 90s. You wore that.

You better be able to back it up and roundhouse

kick somebody in the face, because otherwise

someone's going to kick your butt. Yep. See,

at least he's making contact with a rock there.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You told you you made fun of

my skydiving ability. I don't I'm. Yeah. Is that

dude in his underwear? He's got his underwear

on the outside. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I swear.

I swear there's a dude. Yeah, there was a dude

that like, I think he's just to the right there.

Yeah, they're all just go into the motions. Come

on gold art. You got to whip them. Mm -hmm You

all call yourself evil minions, come on You got

a you got to really put your back into it get

them get him put some effort into it. They're

just phoning it in Well, yeah I Mean look the

chick in the dress. She's just moving dirt like

you have side to side Yep, just moving dirt.

Come on now It's Bushley. Yep, Bushley, great.

Some evil empire thing you turned out to be.

Come on now, you got to properly motivate them.

That's why they only got one movie for Ivan.

That's why he got sent off into Haley's Comet

or Ryan's Belt or whatever. No, it's Ryan's Comet.

Apparently, Haley's Comet was either not available

at the time because it was busy elsewhere or

it's copywritten. I don't know. Probably. Dundun

I'm surprised they were able to well Yeah, I

probably you can say it. You can say it. You

just can't yeah nice little homage there. Yeah

nice little big homage mm -hmm I was I thought

as a kid. I was thought these things were pretty

cool, and I still think they are And that's what

I mean. Like these hold up pretty well. Oh, yeah.

So if you're if you can shoot these scenes with

live action, practical effects, are you telling

me you couldn't do a practical effects zord that

you could then sell toys for? I guess I don't

know, because that was because that was the thing

that I always wondered. I'm like, you could buy

Power Rangers, the movie toys. Yep. But you The

Zords were the movie Zords were the ones on the

TV show. So if you're going to, if you're going

to have that same Megazord in there, make it

something you could produce and buy and sell

and you make more money. It's not that hard.

Nope. Up a tree. There we go. Pull the ripcord

dude pull the ripcord okay, so if So if there

is one prop from this movie that isn't like one

of the you know The suits the weapons the more

than that that I want it's this bone. He pulls

right here Feel like if in the realm the the

world in which I live in if there was ever a

chance that I could get a prop Screen use prop

from this movie. That's probably it. Yeah I don't

lose your head over it The biggest superpower

that Tommy has in this film is making is keeping

that white ninja suit white Yup, exactly. Must

be different filming days for various scenes.

Wonder how many suits he actually went through.

I guess. Again, these are some cool, like, practical

props and effects. And when they're assembling

them, I was like, that's pretty awesome. I mean,

that's a step up from the TV show for sure. Oh

yeah. Eat this kid by the way. I like I like

Justin better than I like this kid. Yeah. It.

You know it goes back to that 90s trope of well

if we have a. Movie for kids. We gotta have kids

in there or else they can't they can't enjoy

it. It's yeah, what ruined Batman the animated

series. It's yeah Why they added Justin to turbo

like Yeah, but Justin what like Justin wasn't

horrible He got better. He wasn't He got better.

Okay, but yeah like I think the differences,

Justin actually got the chance to be a ranger.

Fred here has like, Fred is the character 30

years later that has the opportunity. I don't

even know where this actor is nowadays. They

could get him today. Whatever new incarnation

Hasbro is working on. Fred Campbell, the evil

gold ranger, even though they've already done

evil gold ranger in the past, like they could

have him come back as a G like as he never, that's

why Justin, I like Justin more than Fred. Cause

Justin, even though he was bad in the beginning,

he got better over time. He actually got to become

the blue mountain, whatever. Mountain blast blue

ranger. It's not a blast. That's what he, that's,

yeah. Um, but see that that's more like, I think

in, and again, I realized all the complications

between, Hey, this is the movie and this is the

TV show, but like, are you telling me now Fred's

that, that instead of naming him Justin, you

couldn't name him Fred and then at least leave

some plausibility that it's the same kid. You

don't have to do a lot of work. You just got

to change the name. And then it's like, oh, that's

a character we kind of already know. And then

in the second film, the turbo one, you have like

a smidge of continuity between the first one

and the second one. Yeah. You know, it's a little

thing. It's not going to make that big a difference.

But the fans are like, oh, oh, oh, you got to

do. But we didn't get Saban didn't care about

fan service back then. No, they didn't. Continuity

and things of that sort. No, no. So it's the

Power Rangers versus the Knights of the Old Grail.

Let's hope they choose wisely. They don't. He

chose poorly. What are you going to do? You got

to pee? You got to knock? What are you going

to do? You're going to touch it, okay? Yeah,

it's rock, guys. I don't know what to tell you.

It's not rock anymore. Don't worry. Don't worry.

I'm going to turn my back and nothing's going

to happen. Oh, crap. That thing happened. Like

even that's a cool effect, I thought. Oh, absolutely.

No, again, the effects are great. It's just,

again, so we were building a lot of momentum

and then we get to the lackluster zords. And

it was like somebody was like, okay, I know I

got to turn this project in and in two days.

So it's pretty much done. Yeah. And they're like,

Oh crap, I didn't realize I had to do a Megazord.

Fish! Okay, yes, their skin is probably made

of rock, but they're also wearing armor. Well,

you know, you don't want to scratch the rock.

Come on now. Right. Come on, guys. You gotta

morph. Come on. You gotta do it. Well, they can't.

They haven't gotten the great power yet. Oh,

that's right. Yeah, that's right. Like, putting

their ninja costumes on, putting their helmet,

putting their masks on is their morph at this

point. Well, and like, that's one thing. So when

the TV show brought back the suits... Yeah i

was like okay that's cool that you brought that

back but they because they had to hide all the

stunt actors yeah they had the little sheet with

like two holes in their eyes is an addition i

was like oh that looks yeah no the movie students

are yeah no. It looked like a multicolored kkk

outfit almost so bad. One kick and you're dosed

turns out water Yeah turns out you know so we

could which you know, they just don't like the

water no Turns out they are water soluble. There

you go Yes, she's stuck in there and he's jamming

a metal rod kick him Even further in. Well, he

was just trying to get his attention. I got to

get this foam boulder to move. Kick. Let me push

this foam boulder. There we go. Almost there

we go. OK, there we go. Good. Oh, man. Good.

Oh, man. It only bounced a little bit. It bounced

four or five rocks a whole slide on top of him.

Yeah as much as I wish I really wish that. What

is this big on a frog day. I wish that can you

imagine how different this movie would be if

we had the original red black and yellow. Yeah

but I don't. I don't see Zach doing, Oh, I'm

a frog. Like, I don't know. See, that's the thing.

Like you're right. It would be so much different

if it was Jason Trini and Zach, but we wouldn't

get moments like that. We wouldn't get moments

later with Aisha with, you know, her bear comment

later. Oh yeah. We wouldn't get this. Like, yeah,

we wouldn't get this. We wouldn't. That's true.

Yeah. Like, Well, this right here. Oh, you would

get that. Well, and I think in some ways, like,

listen, it's amazing that one of my children

isn't named Jason. I was I'm all over the Red

Ranger. I know you are. Listen, I was not me

and one of my best friends. Like we used to fight

over who was red. And then when Tommy came along,

that fighting stopped because he went green and

I said, I'm still red. So it's fine. But like

one of the nice, I guess one of the, uh, opportunities

that bring in someone like Rocky in is that it

could become the Tommy Oliver show because the,

you are always going to have a butt, butting

of heads from Austin St. John and David Frank.

And not only from like an actor standpoint from,

but from a character, because Tommy is like the

stud that he's the star of the show. I mean,

Dulcea wants to jump his bones, but Jason is

technically the leaders so when you bring rocky

and you can downgrade the red ranger and you

know elevate white and all of that stuff. Did

make that opportunity but i do kind of sometimes

wonder what this movie would have been like with

those three in there. Here we go. Yeah, the Falcon

Zord is like the best. Oh, yeah out of all these

yep Falcon and the frog Falcon frog and wolf

are my three favorites out of the five Well,

I will say the movie version of the ape is better

than the TV version. I think Yeah, I don't even

remember the TV version of yeah also, it's really

interesting not to jump into the centi but The

tv show had it backwards in the center it went

show guns or no. When what were the battle boards

the show guns or and then the ninjas or with

the last one so they. What is was always gonna

be kinda wonky. So can they turn into animals

to their spirit animals to like she can Oh, please.

No, that's not no, let's This looks kind of cheap,

but I didn't mind that as a kid that I thought

they looked fine I Knew as soon as they were

standing up there. I'm like, okay, they're standing

up on this spire thing Somebody's gonna turn

that into a damn weapon I liked, yeah, no, I

liked it too, but I'm like, I knew as soon as

they were the three of that, that the thing,

the space needle looking thing, the boys are

back. There is a. I'm pretty sure we haven't

skipped over it yet, but there is one line coming

up from Goldar that might be my I think it was

my dad's favorite line when we watched this movie.

Cool. They're back. OK, I think it's coming up

here. No, it's it's later on it's later on but

it I'll point it out we get to it. Okay It's

Yeah Yeah, I never noticed until probably right

now just how clunky those blade blasters are

in their holsters like they are massive yeah

I remember when I actually It was up for they

were these props were up for auction not too

long ago. And I saw the actual movie versions

of it. I was like, that's what those damn things

look like. Yeah. No. Let's use them. Now, even

though I've harped on just how terrible the Zords

are, at least the graphics, I will say one thing

that was great about this movie is it's one of

the few times we got to actually see the individual

Zords doing anything. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.

Well, you had to. Yeah, because you had to get

to kill time to save everybody. Yeah, yeah, I

mean you had time we know you had time to fill

but it's just like well it was kind of cool I

and it was nice how there's three different versions

of cockpits that kind of make You know, it's

it's a little changes they can't make on the

show that was good. Yeah, absolutely It's so

nice and again, it shows off their individuality

even though, you know, Billy says the same shit

every time We're in trouble our Ernie's gotta

glow up Yeah, it did. Big time. Oh my God. That's

way too much is. Yeah. Way too much. I'm glad

Bulk and Skull are like 30 year old high school

students when surrounded by actual high school

students. It is terrible. Yeah. It's bad. You

got so. Our parents are gonna die. I know. It's

so hard. Yeah. Falcon Zord. I like how they have

to try and find these things. Well, yeah, but

you get. Oh, look, the mighty Falcon Zord. Yeah,

one hit. I need it. I need a breather. Ah, this

is my favorite tongue tied and twisted. Yep.

I'm getting burned. They did a good job of making

the frog like frogs or it actually did that.

Not the electrocution part, but the actual, the

tongue tied and twisted part. Yeah. You didn't

think this through, did you Billy? Here we go.

Have seen her or I have I have heard that in

your life so many times It never it never gets

old. No Okay, boy Did you did you have all the

the toy the McDonald's toys with a little action

figures I had like four sets of them. Because

I remember as a kid, like they were like, oh,

these are collectibles. These are going to be

a thing and kept in the package. And now like,

there's five, there's five minutes. You can get

a lot of them on eBay. Yeah, absolutely. The

action figure part was cool. The Zords were underwhelming.

The McDonald's. Oh, there it is. My dad loves

that line. She's cute, too. I thoroughly enjoy

it, too. It's one of my favorite lines of film.

Use your thrusters, bitch. Double man, use your

jetpack. I know other people get mad at that

line, but he just got the damn zords. So she

wouldn't know which button it would be like other

people get, well, no, but I'm saying like, I

can understand if this was one of the old zords.

Yep. Yeah. Back in the game. I'm gonna nuke him.

best shot in the whole fucking movie right here.

Best shot. That's 90. They spent like, that's

like 80 % of their effort was just this one shot.

Just that shot. Fuck the zone. Fuck the Megazord.

I don't give two shits about the Megazord. Oh

yeah. That's the shot right there. Yeah. You

just got thrown over well in and you know looking

at the movie version of the ape sword versus

the TV version This version looks a lot more

capable than the TV and the toy version. Yeah

Oh, I'm reading to get angry Yeah, this is where

we get this is where I got really disappointed

even as a kid I was this part again is fine,

but when we start this is when we start getting

into Hardcore computer on computer action Yeah

big again Like this isn't Terrible. Not at least

he has his wings to fly off. Yeah. They don't

even have their sword yet. The ninja sword actually

didn't have a sword. Yes, it did, didn't it?

Nope. Shogun did. Now this was, I thought this

effect, even though again, the CGI is kind of

crap, but I thought the effect of them transforming,

I thought it was pretty cool. Yeah. You know,

getting to see like the little indoor storage

compartments, the gear. Yeah. No, the transformation

is cool. The. The end results suck like that.

That face is not even a face a mother could love.

I just want, I want to punch that in the face.

Yeah. One of these days, I'll get it. I knew

they had a damn sword. That's right, they did.

In the show, they don't. Yeah, in the show, they

probably don't. But that's the sword for the

Shogun Megazord. You know what? It's been a...

I probably realized that at some point, but I'm

just now realizing, okay, that's where they got

that sword from. Okay. Don't worry kids that

track is gonna line up just specially right with

the back of the falcon sword. Don't worry. I

designed it same guys Same guys. Yep Because

that's how that's how that's how monorails work.

Yeah, that's how monorails work. Absolutely You

know also Tommy's just gonna hang out there for

20 minutes Also, like looking at the, the seating

arrangement, it's weird that Kimberly's in the

middle. It's generally like a, like a Tommy or

a Rocky. Well, because, because this is, uh,

yeah, you're right. But she's down front. She's

front middle Tommy's going to be up top. Right.

But you would usually hit like, usually you would

see red in that spot. I guess. I don't know.

What I'm saying is how dare a woman drive that

Megazord? That's why they're losing. Ladies and

gentlemen, the Geekcast Radio Network is not

responsible for anything Jesse Raz says on this

podcast. I am just kidding. Uh -huh. Mostly.

Jesus Christ, man. What's the matter with you?

I'm just kidding. Yeah, the wings on the back

of that, I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah,

that was cool. Now if we can just get the parents

to stop leaping to their doom. Oh wait, get the

giant water hose. I mean, do we have to? I mean,

it's the only way. Also again, this is, are there

not, is there no law enforcement in Angel Grove?

Guess not. I'm not talking about the army. I'm

not talking about the guard. I'm talking about

cops. Guess not. They have, they had no security

around this giant pit so that bulk and skull

could just parachute in there. Uh, you got this

massive group of parents, you know, not every

adult in angel Grove is a parent. So. Well, okay.

So if you really do think about that, Fred's

dad's a fireman, right? Right. But are you telling

me every fireman has a kid? No, but my point

is, is that Ooze wanted all of the adults in

Angel Grove, not necessarily, even though he

was marketing to parents, but - If an adult doesn't

have kids, how do you bank on them buying Ooze?

I don't know. Master market marketing? I don't

know. There are adults that buy that stuff. But

anyway, I'm just saying there are bound to be

other adults that are not. They could have come

in and gone, oh yeah, maybe we want to help this

kid out. Guess not. Right about to make it rain

up on her. Yeah. The fact that water is the,

uh, I mean, I like it. It's simple. It works.

It's fine. But have you ever been hit in the

face with a, with a, uh, fire? No, no. Yeah.

Yeah. That'll, that'll push you back. Yeah. That'll

push you back. Ranges. Okay. Now I know. I know

we don't like the deepening effect of Zord, of

Zed's, but the high pitch is... The high pitch

is great, yeah. My Zord. Okay, this might be

the best feature of any Megazord ever created.

The one, the finisher right here. Oh yeah. Yep.

Ryan's comments gonna get us. Taking care of

business. Right in the nuts. See you later. Here's

the thing on that. Isha's delivery spot on no,

no. Yeah, but it's Adam Zord. Why not give that

to Adam? Because You don't say it like again

Great Yeah, she it was great delivery all that

stuff. But like to Adams, you know complain or

good to Johnny. Yeah, she's complaint give him

something Little uh little little uh, I don't

know if it's a phobia there a little bit Whatever,

it doesn't matter. It's the 90s. Yeah, whatever

As far as that goes though, like I Mean aren't

I don't know Saying it, you know, it's a choice.

It's a choice. But again, yeah result awesome.

Yep By the way, did you send our suit designs

cuz mine's a little tight Did I put on some weight

like did you get my size in cuz it's a little

it's a little tight Well, you know you've had

you have had kids since the last time you wore

your suit It's a little tight How do you know

he's dead? So here's a question for you. Uh huh.

As we're in the emotional climax of the film.

So this outfit, this Zordon is occupying, you

think it's like a sack to promote like blood

flow and all that stuff? You keep his muscles

not from atrophying or do you think it's a style

choice? Like do you think all LTAR. Residents

of LTAR are rocking some form of sleep sack like

this. I don't even want to know. There's just

some questions you don't need the answers to.

I need that answer, Mike. No, you don't. Is this

like surgical stockings or is this a fashion

choice? I need to know. No, we don't need to

know. We don't need to know. Nope. Also. You

know that the swords the weapons all of that's

cool but being able to release a bunch of fireflies

that will clean up your room like that i mean

lego bricks yeah right. I know they basically

just took the destruction footage and put it

in rewind but still yeah i thought it was a cool

effect you know it was a good effect. They put

it right back into his heart and his heart and

three sizes that day well Here's what's fucked

up Okay, we brought him back to life and guess

what now you're sealed away in your little mini

fortress of solitude studio apartment and your

head Your voice is back to normal Joke's on you.

I've been dead for years. You can't kill what's

already dead inside. Yep. Power, power. Death

could use a mint. I'm glad Ernie's has crab legs.

I keep forgetting it's supposed to be Ernie's.

Mm -hmm. And not even to let that man have a

cameo. Rest in peace. I know, right? Next movie

we have another kid. Sorry, it's not you. I always

heard it as Campbell. I thought it was Calgill.

There we go. It's not like it matters because

we'll never see this child ever again. Nope.

Not really. All right, folks. Well, that's gonna

do it. I think there is an after credit. There

is an after credits. Hold your horses there.

Wait for the fireworks. The thank you Power Rangers.

Come on. You think they do this after every Power

Ranger victory? Vulcan Skull? Yeah, Vulcan Skull.

Again, soundtrack. Oh yeah. Rocking. Yep. Oh,

for half a sec. Half a second. I thought that

was going to say Brian singer. I'm like, there's

no way. No way. It would have been, it would

have been nice if we had some, uh, some of the,

the, you know, hard rock and themes from the

TV show in there, but you know what? What? Getting

to pull in bigger artists. I'm, I'm on it. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. All right, we got it. We got a we

got a credit coming up here. Oh, no, you're not.

Just kidding Yeah, right we're in trouble That's

funny Yeah, all right folks we have stopped it

at the one hour 29 minute 45 second mark that

ends the the commentary portion We're gonna take

a quick ad break. We're gonna come back with

some final thoughts and some other stuff and

all that good stuff. We'll talk a little bit

about the cast and things like that. But for

now, we're gonna, like I said, go to a quick

ad break. We'll be back right after this. Hello,

Okay, Michael, if we're going to tackle this

podcast thing, we've got to do something really

special. It has to be cool, daily, in audio form,

and undetectable by radar. Something that screams

summer. I know, let's do a Phineas and Ferb review

podcast. We'll call it the Podcast Organization

Without a Cool Acronym, or Pauka for short. What

do you think? I think if we're not careful, Candice

we talk movies. We talk TV. We talk - Hello Julie,

what the heck are you doing? Trying to make our

spots sound more exciting by adding explosions.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could've got the point

across with sound effects, not the real thing.

All right, folks, we are back here on From the

Command Center, only on the GeekCast Radio Network.

This is episode 70 of the podcast. 30 years money

more from Power Rangers the movie if you were

lucky enough to get the Blu -ray of money more

from Power Rangers the movie from shout factory

directly before it did its out of print Sale

or after and whatever Awesome for you. I have

a copy of it Luckily, I'm hoping they will I

was kind of hoping this year. They would have

released it on 4k Just because I'm into 4k media

these days since I have a 4k television and a

4k blu -ray player That's right, shut up Mickey

I like things in 4k Are you quite done with that?

No, I'm not heaven forbid something being the

standard definition It was created and I have

to have things upscaled There's nothing wrong

with upscaling as long as it's done right Just

look at Transformers the movie it's the best

it's ever looked so anyway But yeah Mighty Morphin

Power Rangers the movie 30 years later still

love it absolutely There is little minor things

that we probably don't like about it, but overall

I mean that I've watched this movie twice this

year And I've walked away happy both times. And

I've before this, like I said earlier, the show,

I think it, it, I think it was right after he

died when I watched it the last time right after

JDF died. Uh, so, you know, it is what it is,

uh, out of the good. Well, I was going to say,

I think one of the things about this movie and

watching it now. But I've thought about it before.

It really kind of drives home. When you, if somebody

chooses to move forward with Power Rangers, I

hope they look at this film as kind of a blueprint

because it very much follows some of the things

that made the TV show successful in that again,

we set up who our characters are very quickly.

They're archetypes. We kind of already have some

familiarity, but we jump right in. We kind of

we understand the Lord even if you are if you

haven't seen the TV show you kind of have an

idea and then we get into the morph we get into

the you know we get into all of those things

fairly quickly then we lose it and then we come

back so it's like can we stick with that formula

and then do character development all the stuff

that the TV show didn't really pay much attention

to because it was for kids and I get that but

like again when you look at this film the success

it had and then the reboot film The rebuilt film

had a lot of substance to it, but it wasn't a

Power Rangers film to like 45 minutes in. Yeah.

And so it's like, man, if you can take the depth

of that one, the fun, the action in this one,

you got a, you got a best, you got a movie that

just kind of, it's going to be a blockbuster.

Yeah, absolutely. So I looked up I looked up

Fred, and Fred is a year younger than me. He's

44. He was living my dream, that little S .O

.B. His debut film was something called The Eye,

The Sky in 1994. He would then go on to do Power

Rangers, the movie. And then it was all downhill

from there, judging by his IMDb. Yeah, I mean,

he's an Australian kid. It was born in Sydney.

And yeah, all of the other films, I've never

heard of any of them as far as his TV credits.

I'm assuming he's still in Australia. Like Power

Rangers is pretty much his only global thing

he ever did. Well, and you know what's interesting?

Because I've never actually looked at the guy's

filmography, but go ahead. Now that you mentioned

that, I hadn't either. Now, granted, I understand.

So don't come at me. I understand Australia and

New Zealand are different. I understand, though,

that they are a lot closer to one another than

the United States is. It is kind of interesting.

I was half expecting him to have made some appearance

on some of the later Power Rangers seasons, uh,

that are shot in New Zealand. You know, surely

I thought if he's still acting, maybe he is,

maybe he isn't, you know, that would have been

a gig. Yeah. Make a phone call like, Hey, yeah,

I'd love to come on and do this one bit part

or maybe play a mentor or a monster or something.

So I'm surprised that he didn't have anything

just, just with proximity in the way they are

with actors, uh, in that area. Absolutely. Uh,

and we mentioned this a couple of times, the

soundtrack, uh, we do have the Power Rangers

Orchestra. We don't have the, um, Ron Wasserman.

Composers doing go -go Power Rangers, uh, higher

ground, red hot chili peppers, shampoos, trouble,

Devo's. Are you ready? Snap the power. And then

dreams by Van Halen, Dan Hartman's free ride.

They might be giants, uh, sends around, um, power

jet, I, which is alpha song. And then, uh, I

did not know that Graham revel did the, uh, free

bird, um, uh, thing. And then The air and waters

cross my line bonus track the mighty raw track

for the additional but yeah i mean the the stuff

is is really really cool in the score itself.

Who was the car was the score graham. Release.

Score but yeah score was done by graham roo.

Oh, it's just I forgot that he had done this.

That's right. And yeah. But yeah, no, just absolutely

love it. And I absolutely love this movie. We

wouldn't be sitting here 30 years later if I

didn't love the movie. Yeah, it's it's a lot

of fun. And again, it's it. I tried to as we

were watching, I was trying to. Kind of look

at it in a different lens, because. It's really

hard for me to watch this movie and not feel

like that 10 year old kid and get the same excitement.

But you know, I've I've shown it to my son who's

now 10 and he loves it. So I mean, it is kind

of fun to look back on something that was made

30 years ago and watch. Now he makes the same

comments and stuff that I was joking about about

the effects. But overall, I mean, he thought

it was a fun movie. He enjoyed it. So it is nice

to see 30 years. The target audience is still

there and still enjoys it. And that's that to

me is a big sign of the quality of the project.

Yeah, absolutely. And the thing for me is like,

like, again, there are certain movies that we

just have like. Engrained in us. This is one

for me, but this is not one just because it's

ingrained in me It's not one that I go back to

often. There are those movies that I go back

to on repeat with Steve and I just did an episode

over on senior 2009, where we talked about our

top five animated films that we are watching

right now. And it's pretty much the same for

me specifically. It's pretty much the same top

five animated films that I've been watching for

the last 40 years of my life. Since each of those

feel like it's transformers the movie which is

forty years old next year it's he man and she

were the secret of the sword which is forty years

old this year it's batman beyond return of the

joker which is twenty five years old this year

it's batman mask of the phantasm or whatever

you know it's all these same things that i go

back to it which is why when. When I realized,

I don't know, I was doing something earlier this

year and I realized, Oh wait, it's the 30th anniversary

of MMPR and I have this blue ray and I haven't

actually opened like I had opened the blue ray.

No, I had opened it. I just, I had never actually

watched the I opened it. I just put it on my

shelf. um because i had a bunch of other things

i was doing and stuff and i was going through

hospital visits and surgeries and a whole bunch

of other things my arms feel like they're about

to fall off folks literally i was gonna say what

i'm what i'm hearing from this is papa needs

some ice for his knees maybe a little heat Elsewhere

and a Tom's in a bedtime. You damn whipper snapper.

Get off my lawn. Exactly. Actually, what I really

need is a hundred dollar door dash card. But

anyway. Just pennies a day. You too. That's right.

Yes. Send all donations too. Yes, exactly. Zero

to five with half points. What are we going to

give Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the movie?

I'm gonna give it I'm gonna give it four and

a half and I'm gonna remove the half because

even about 95 standards CG it just that with

the sword fight is not great and that was I had

a problem with it as a kid I have a problem with

it as an adult and I'm not you know I'm definitely

not one of those people that kid that can't watch

something that The technology isn't kept up.

It just it's something that was always glaring

to me then Especially when there's so many other

parts of the film where CG is used in a really

good way practical used in a really good way

and it just felt like they ran out of time they

ran out of money. Which knowing saban would not

surprise me in the slightest that he's like yeah

i'm not spending that extra grand give me what

you got. Uh, like we said, the money shot is

when the Falcon Zord comes down the street, closes

up its wings. We see the side shot and we see

the front shot of the rockets. That's Oh yeah.

Like I'm pretty sure that might've been one of

the first CG shots someone did. And everyone

was like, Oh hell yeah. This is going to look

awesome. And then we stopped. Yep. Pretty much.

So you're giving it a four out of five. I'll

give it a four and a half out of five. Okay.

Well, you said you were going to give it a four

and a half and then take away the half. Well,

I'm taking away the half from the full five.

Otherwise. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

I see what you're saying. Yeah. I'll give it

the four and a half. And like I said, I take

off just for that because even for the time.

Yeah. It's, you know, it was cool. They were

trying something, but you know, they even make

a Jurassic park reference in here and going from

the technology, which I get is like, it's like

you know all the stuff james cameron does with

avatar now like there's a middle ground here

and we saw little aspects of it in the film so

that's why i take the half point that otherwise

again i think it's a fantastic film for a power

rangers adaptation it was fun it's nostalgic

it still holds up in a lot of the fun ways that

the show still does yep absolutely i'm right

there with you four and a half all the way around

folks Uh, and of course we always go on nostalgia

here and everything else. We can look at it objectively

and everything else. It's still like, just, I

think I have a photo somewhere of me. I know

it's taken in Florida, because that's where I

was at the time in 95. I'm actually holding and

looking at the Falcon Zord toy. I don't know

where that photo is, but I know it was taken

at the time. So there's that. So get this. So

this is the level of Power Ranger fandom that

I have had since the very beginning. So I had

for so, of course, as one did win 93 when it

came out, I was the Red Ranger for Halloween.

Right. I have that costume and my son, my oldest

son wore it and I made the Green Ranger Dragon

Shield. And so he was the Red Ranger with the

golden shield. With the Dragon Shield. Yeah.

Nice. So he ended up wearing that. So, I mean,

I've been a fan since the beginning. Yeah, same

here. Yeah, I was 13 when the show started. I

was 15 when the movie came out. And I haven't

kept up with it recently, other than the reunion

legacy specials that they've done. Mm hmm. But

because to me, once or was it once and always,

you know, I always think there's a third word

in there somewhere, but besides the end. But

after once and always, I was like, OK. I'm good.

Like there's no like There's no other gets that

they can get at this point. Like there's nobody

else They're gonna bring back that they haven't

already brought back Yeah, did you uh asked did

you watch the the beast morpher special where

Austin st. John made an appearance? No Because

I've seen him make appearances before and it's

the well that was his first appearance since

Forever red. Oh, was it? Okay. Yeah, I might

have seen the clip in an episode Okay. Yeah,

I'll have to check it out. I just I try watching

the The newer versions of it and it just doesn't

it just doesn't sync with me anymore Like I can't

get into it. Yeah, I would say give the last

two seasons so beast morphers and now you can

you can skip best beast morphers if you want

dino fury and cosmic fury give us because they

uh they're hokey you know that's when that's

when they really leaned into that nickelodeon

kind of style of comedy but the last season when

billy comes back as a mentor and all that stuff

it's got a lot of uh tones that feel very reminiscent

of the original and so it wasn't it's not perfect

but again, it's what the best one can expect

from a kids show that is trying to honor things

30 plus years old and So I would say if you're

gonna if you're gonna try to revisit it maybe

go into Cosmic Fury and see a little bit of that

and Because they'll give you certain flavors

of the OG very cool. Very cool so And as I'm

sitting here staring at my Megazord collection,

I've got from the OG Megazord all the way through

the in space collection. So the entire Zordon

era staring at me majestically right now. Hmm.

Very cool. Very cool. Man, if it wasn't December

and I had a better plan this year and not so

much medical crap happened, I would say we could

do a 20th anniversary for Dino Thunder, but that

ain't happening now. It's too late. Future TFU

and Mike here, folks. I was wrong. 2004 was Dino

Thunder, not 2005. So this year couldn't have

been the 20th anniversary of Dino Thunder because

it was last year in 2004. 2004. Wow. 2024. I

folks, I'm telling you, I'm losing my mind back

to the show. So, you know, the next logical question

for you as let's stay in the realm of movies.

Yeah. The follow up to this. Turbo. Yeah. Pots

on that movie. I'll tell you in twenty twenty

seven. What a tease. What a tease. For the 30th

anniversary of it. Well, now that is one I have

not gone back and revisited in a long time. So

I look forward to that rewatch. Hey, at least

that one's on Netflix. Actually, I have, I have

physical copies. Yeah. I think if I, it's probably

at my parents' house. I think I even have VHS

copies of both. Oh, Jesus. That's crazy. Yeah.

I know, uh, one of my, uh, YouTube, my own YouTube

channel, cause this will be on the GCR YouTube

channel. When we syndicate this to all the podcast

platforms, but on my YouTube channel, one of

my viewers is like, Oh, what did you think of

the power? You know, I listened to the from the

command center podcast and thank you for listening.

I'm sorry. I think the guy's name is Trent, so

Trent, thank you so much, and please don't send

any bad people after me. Well, because I think

one of the characters, oh no, Trent, this Mesogog's

son, Mercer's son, from Dino Thunder, yeah, exactly.

Mike, are you okay? Yeah. Do you stroke out there,

Hoss? Yeah, pretty much. Uh, I have brain damage

after all, quite literally. Anyway, uh, he had

asked about the 2017 film, if we had ever covered

it or if we were going to cover it. And I'm like,

Hmm, did we? I don't remember. So I went on to

geekcastradio .com. Visit geekcastradio .com

today, folks. And, uh, looked it up and I'm like,

Nope, we never did. So at some point I'm sure

we will cover the 2017 film. Maybe, I don't know.

Don't hold me to that folks. But yeah, we can

definitely do terrible. Yeah. Yeah. I've got

lots of thoughts and feelings about that movie.

Mostly positive, but I remember watching it.

I just don't remember what the hell happens in

it. I don't. The act of watching it, I just don't

remember what the hell happens in it. Well, I

mean, that's kind of in a nutshell what the problem

was. You know, I'll say as a whole and then,

you know, I'll save. Yeah, you know, I'll use

it. Teaser. Yeah, as a teaser. But like the two

problems with that movie or something I've already

said in that, you know, hey, it takes 45 minutes

for them to even more. Then B, the Zords were

like something. They weren't fun. And one of

the criticisms of shows like Power Rangers, like

Transformers, like He -Man is they're a giant

commercial to sell toys. But when the movie goes

the other way and doesn't make cool things that

could be made into toys, it's like, OK, there's

got to be a middle ground here. Yeah. You didn't

really do your job this time around, did you?

You know, you got you got some good things in

there, but then from a marketing standpoint,

yeah, I can see it's not going to make you any

additional merchandise money. And as we all learn

from Spaceballs. That's where the real money

is made. That's right. See, you come for the

Power Rangers movie, you stay for the Spaceball

quotes. That's right. All right, folks, that's

going to do it for us. Thank you for joining

along. So you, you, you tell me what you want.

I'll have something to say about it. Yep. Yep.

Yep. I think the last one we did was Sins of

the Future, which was the Time Force one -shot

series. Which was awful. Hey, shut your mouth.

It wasn't that bad. Go back and listen and you

can agree with everything I have to say because

I ain't wrong. He ain't right, folks. He ain't
