About this Episode
Welcome to a collaboration between the GeekCast
Radio Network and the Pop Culture Network. This
is, from the Command Center, the podcast episode
tw -uh... What? No, I did not sign up for that!
This is all your... Welcome to a collaboration
between the Fallen Culture Network and the GeekCast
Radio Network. This is From the Command Center,
the podcast, episode 30. I am one of your hosts,
TFG1Mike, and joining me from PCN is Scotty Cash.
Hello, sir. What's up? What's going on? What's
new? Nothing. I like it that way. Safer that
way. Yes, exactly. Also joining us once again
is the Super Sentai guys, Spare to the Bum Matrix.
Hello, sir. He called you a bum and you didn't
even... Oh boy. Today we are going to be continuing
the From the Command Center Commentaries with
Season 1, Episode 6, According to Netflix, Food
Fight. And you will be starting your DVD, VR,
whatever trooper thing, I don't know, Netflix,
after, after the Mighty Morphin signal right
now. What the hell is she doing a dumpster for
10 ,000 years? Eh, she got lazy. Go go Power
Rangers! That's interesting. How they... Warped
the logo around the images and in the flesh.
Poor kids, if any kids had epilepsy watching
this show, this intro specifically with that
flashing, oh my god. That would be horrible Here
we are at the school cafeteria again known as
the juice bar Maybe they just have maybe it's
not the the school hallway It's just like a locker
room because this is kind of like a juice bar
slash sports play. Well, it's a juice bar and
gym Well, then it's it says it on the logo juice
bar and gym. Well, then it's not the school's
Yeah, no, it's not the school. Oh, it's a guy
I love the guy Cultural Food Festival Oh my god,
mr. Buildings uncle Sadly Ernie has passed away
Yeah And it'll be in their face in a minute or
two. Is that the pr - Wait. That's the principal.
What is the principal doing at an event that
has nothing to do with the school? Oh god, he's
a creeper. I mean the pedo stash alone. And the
toupee. You know that it's not his real hair.
Oh yes, that will be going off later in the episode.
Yes. Wait, this is a cultural festival? Why is
Jason wearing a Fourth of July hat? Because America!
America, fuck yeah! Oh, babies! I should not
have eaten them. Was that what she was really
saying? No. Oh. Though she did try to kill children
on a regular basis in the Japanese version. Apparently
someone's going to be sniped. Yeah, that is so
weird that they use a rhetoric in her telescope
thing. You mean reticle? When I go to the Gaim,
there's never any Honolulu chicks. Hula dancers.
Yeah, dude. I'd go more often Why is there a
Christmas tree on the wall? Do cuz it's it's
the ethnic culture festival, dude. You shouldn't
America If yeah Why are there and why is the
oh the other thing only showed the American word,
but I bet it said Mexican -american I did it
too Wow, that's so crazy there too. Oh, that's
right Two random people that want to also cause
trouble. Oh, God, that hair is. Oh, that's good.
Mm. Pie. Whip cream. I bet you a dollar this
doesn't go on anyone's face. Too late, you guys
should have took that bet. Yeah, mr. Kaplan that
was the principal's name. I wonder what the episode
being titled food fight what could happen. Oh
To pay there it goes I knew it wasn't real You
know, I have been in two different places where
someone yelled food fight and nothing happened
Well, this is Angel Grove and it is the 90s and
his hair landed in the punch. Nobody drink the
punch, people. Oh, my God. This must have been
a school function at the Jim and Juice bar. How
mad are you if you're Ernie? Oh, I know it. OK,
hey, now we're going to play a game. Everybody
clean this shit up. Or you're all going to die.
All of a sudden I feel like cleaning. Dude, I
love Babu, dude. I always liked Finster. He's
an early version of Lord Zed. You ever notice
that when Finster's working on a monster, it's
normally, or he's just kind of sitting there
working, it's always going to be a monster that
shows up later? Yep. Again, like I said last
time with Day of the Dumpster, this show is scripted
just like WWE is. There he is. My favorite bad
guy. Aw, he lost his weapons! He lost the fork
and knife! He finds him again Dude I love pudgy
pig, dude The toy the toy you could put stuff
in the toys mouth and then the back of the bottom
of the helmet opened up and you could take everything
out of it so like When I was a wee lad and I
was playing with him He was always eat all their
weapons and eat everything that could fit in
there and then he would poop them out Yeah, I
was gonna say in one end out the other. Yeah,
right just like real life What did Jason grab
did he saw such as you know, dude, he watched
he watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 In
a part 2 where they do the Chucks. Yeah in the
beginning. Yeah Really Bulk you're an idiot.
He got nervous Over hot dogs So so far we've
got Two for two for stuff in Bulk's face Two
episodes Two episodes with the stuff in Bulk's
face. There wasn't any liquid in that. I wonder
what it was like on the production side doing
the food fight if it was really that much fun.
Not if you're Bulk and Skoll, because you're
like, you know, Bulk just goes to work every
day knowing, what are you guys throwing in my
face today? Yeah. This is exactly why I do a
picnic also Just roll around all over the all
over the blanket with the food That has got a
your dry cleaning bill must be ridiculous Who
says he goes to picnics dressed that's true,
dude Go get him Stevie Wonder. Oh no. Oh my god,
you're right Took my glasses off I can see again.
Yay. Oh, you owe me 20 dollars wait too soon
Really Oh Toro Toro Why am I envisioning Zac
as Bugs Bunny and Bulk as the bull? He didn't
have that much inertia. Dude, he wasn't flying.
He rings it out again. Now it's ruined. Before
it wasn't ruined. I am going to murder all of
you with a broom! We can't clean, we have to
go save the city! From a pig! Well, I at least
give the original series credit that they mixed
up their uh... Fashion choices a bit. Yeah. Oh,
yeah shades of the primary color that their Ranger
outfit is outfit is Oh my god, it's beautiful.
It's beautiful Yeah Yeah, they did change the
colors up because Trini is not wearing bright
yellow and she's wearing gray poupon. Mustard
yellow, yes. I miss those commercials as bad
as those commercials are. I do miss them. They
were good. I love the one where they went where
they took it and turned it into an action movie.
I know. Hey, this is they morphed off early.
Normally they go fight the putties for a little
bit. Yeah, but Pudgy's just only Pudgy's the
only one out there right now so well they can't
go fight him for a little bit and be like oh
man he almost finished up and Same building too.
Yep same exact set as day of the dumpster different
angles, but the same Suck suck suck there it
goes. So you look then it was showing you where
it comes out at a tail. Oh That's funny, huh
right in the nose Always loved his axe. Yeah,
I did too. I always liked the blue the the axe
and the lance I guess it would be technically
a pike. Well, they call it a lance. But you're
probably right. Yeah, Finster was never really
evil. No, he... He's just that kid that's trying
to fit in. He's a servant of Rita. I mean, he
wants to make sure he makes her happy and he's
basically her... He's basically her version of
Wheeljack. They used to make me so mad when their
chest would blow up and then, you know, three
seconds later it's gone. I'm like, you know what?
What? Like, what happened? Yeah. Magical sparkles.
Oh, no. We just lost our powers. We just went
on a trip on the rainbow road. Wow, Billy and
Jason are wearing horrible, tie -dye plaid -looking
shirts. We need Tommy. Who? Oh, never mind. That's
not quite yet. No. Motherfuckin' Dragonzord!
What's a Dragonzord? Oh, scrap that. You'll know
in a little bit. There's Italy. Asia. And I think
that was the guy running away from Pudgy Pig
there was the best actor in the show. Yeah. God,
he's gonna eat the camera! I know! Oh! Thrust
him in Bulk's face, quick! The funny thing is,
sometimes the monsters were actually more scared
of Bulk and Skull. I know. Well, at this point,
you know, I could see where people don't really
know that there's monsters yet. Right. So, you
know, as far as Bulk knows, this is just Ernie's
real father. Stupid. Oh, God. Stupid question.
Has there been a battle in the city by this point?
I don't remember. I... Oh, I'm sure. We're this
many episodes in? Yeah. Yeah. If we were doing
commentaries on all the other episodes that led
up to this besides Day of the Dumpster, I'm sure
we would have seen a battle in the city by now.
Yeah, I'm sure. Sweet, if he was doing Mexican
American, why is he wearing a Rastafarian shirt?
Because he'd done that a lot. And his hat is
red and green and black always wore those colors
that's when cross colors was was big was in the
90s Yeah, but oh my god. He's like a it's like
a smorgasbord like a real smorgasbord. Nobody
touched the veggies hmm Well, wait a minute if
you're sorry, why are you serving raw parsnips?
Maybe Bugs Bunny was coming Seriously, why would
you serve that raw? What was it? It was a parsnip.
Well, I don't necessarily think they're they're
just serving it. You know, it's like it's like
a food banquet. Like you can come here and buy
stuff. I don't think it's like eat here while
you're here. You know, there was a ton of prepared
food everywhere else. Well, yeah. Well, when
you mean there was a giant fricking vat of refried
beans. You know, I mean, they got they got to
go to containers. Bless you Why Am I flashing
to 19 I think it's 94 I think it's a year after
this And this is gonna be sad for me since most
people don't know I used to listen to country
music Tim McGraw's debut album came out and one
of the songs on it was refried dreams Yeah, you're
right shut up uh -oh We will defeat him with
lunch meat. And cake. Zordon, send us our weapons.
No, use the food. Say again? You're breaking
up. Use the salmon and the cake. That's what
I thought you said. By the power of McDonald's!
Oh, I know it, right? Speaking of speaking of
mega force mega force is gonna be back on air
in September. I Believe is like the 13th or the
18th. Jesus Christ. That is the biggest piece
of sushi I've ever seen dude. That's how you
got to beat the giant pigs There you go spade
up but that's not a radish Hot hot work Wow That's
some interesting special effects they have any
other weapons back Now that's heartburn, you
know, I wonder if that was wasabi. I Wonder if
that was a salt wasabi root Because it came out
powdery yellow Yeah, and fresh wasabi does look
powdery yellow or was ginger Look at the ginger
doesn't look like that. I can't let this go some
holes Okay, I don't you know the This merged
weapon is still one of my favorites. Yeah, it
is. It's damn. Yeah, it's damn awesome Once beta
said wasabi the only I can think of is mater.
Give me some of that pistachio ice cream Poor
pudgy pig. All he wanted was a snack. And by
snack, I mean, he wanted all the snacks. Stop
yelling at me, dude. Who's in the bathroom or
something? Because he like disappears for like
eight episodes at one point. Yes, he was actually
in the shower. Oh! Oh, you know, being a giant
monkey man stuck in a dumpster for 10 ,000 years?
Yeah. He's probably Febreze -ing himself for,
like, weeks. Was there even Febreze back in the
90s? I don't remember saying Febreze. Possibly.
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's how I jump off stairs.
And now we have to clean this up, because, you
know, we're the only people here. Rangers shit
has gone down What is he wearing on his head
it's a chef hat Because reasons it looks like
it was alpha sick in this episode. It looks like
one of those head cold thing No, it's a show.
It's a it's a very poorly standing up chef's
hat. Oh, that's right because he's gets okay
Would just chuck it right in his face. We're
sorry about this thing. We had no control over
Yep, here's five sub sandwiches They ought to
sell for at least three hundred dollars a piece
for all of the playground equipment. Here's five.
Here's five foot longs Good, thanks. Here's 20
bucks Oh, oh, that's hot! Oh, that's hot! No,
no, if that had capsaicin in it, you don't want
to drink water. That's only gonna make it worse.
There goes his wig. Joke's on you. All of his
hair, pretty much. Oh, look at Billy's face!

A spate of thoughts on Food Fight. Good episode.
The episodes are normally better when there's
no other human interaction, except for Balkan
Skull. Yeah. That's, yeah, I agree to that. I
mean, that's like power to the pudgy pig. He
is living the American dream. Consume all the
things. Yes, that's right. Scotty thoughts? I
like pudgy pig. Scotty likes pudgy pig people.
Alright, that's gonna do it for this round. I
really enjoyed the episode. I thought it was
fun It's not very often these days that you can
pull off a really good food fight in a not just
a kids TV show but any TV show I can't think
of any off top my head, but I'm sure there are
plenty since Power Rangers came out that plenty
of shows pulled off good food fights But this
