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
