Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Green With Evil Part 2 Review

Today on Power Rangers This is Jason David Frank

Tommy the Green Ranger and you are listening

to the command center Welcome to a collaboration

between the Geekcast Radio Network and the Pop

Culture Network. This is from the Command Center,

the podcast. We are now doing commentaries celebrating

20 years of Power Rangers. I am one of your hosts,

TFJ and Mike. Joining me is Scotty Cash. Hello.

What is up? Oh, the price on the Power Rangers

DVD set. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. We already went

over that. And of course, the Super Sentai guy,

Spirit of the Vault Matrix, is here. Hello. Greetings,

fellow fanboys. Yes, that's right. And today

we're going to continue the Green with Evil five

-day commentary. That's right. Commentary a day

in October for the five -parter Green with Evil.

I gotta say, I'm so glad they never did this

again. I mean, we've had like two and three -parters

after this, but this is, to my knowledge, and

I think I'm right, this is the only five -part

episode. that they ever did in Power Rangers,

specifically the US version. So, yeah, very,

very cool, but I'm glad they scaled it back.

I remember where I'm from. These used to play

from 7 to 730, and my bus was usually supposed

to come anywhere from like 729 until, you know,

731. Give take a few minutes. So every single

day I would be standing up with my backpack looking

down at the corner through my window Watching

this like come on. Come on. Come on. Please don't

come yet You know, please don't come so every

time I'd see the lines start to form like oh

here comes the bus I would uh son of a bitch

and I'd have to jet down the street to the you

know So there was days where I would miss, you

know, 30 seconds of Power Rangers, you know here

and there but there'd also be days where I'd

get to even see the listings. No, that's not

the correct word. The words after the show. The

credits. Credits is the correct word. Yes. I'm

the same way. They did do a change -up after

a while, but yeah, this was on at 7, and then

later, this was on at 7, and then I think VR

Troopers was on at 7 .30. Yep. They then switched

it up and put VR troopers at 7 and Power Rangers

at 730 and that so sucked. Yep. And so I had

to start VCRing Power Rangers. Yes, yes. You

heard it here folks. First folks, VCRing not

DVR, VCR. Look it up. Look it up. Oh boy, it's

the internet. You can look anything up on the

internet these days. Alright, so you're gonna

hear the Power Rangers signal call, a word from

Jason David Frank, and then you can start your

playback after this. I am Rita's evil Green Ranger,

and my empress tells me this is Green Ranger

Evil Part 2. We are starting in three, two, one,

porn. Oh my god. Alright, what about with Rita

Mike? Nah. That would be terrible. We shouldn't

be referencing stuff that is not supposed to

be on air. Again, that's a second day in a row.

Yeah, really. Man, they just need to duct tape

the shit out of that dumpster. For sure. Gorilla

glue the hell out of that thing. All right, all

right Rita, we know you have magic but we have

duct tape Well, they must Lord Zed must have

done something when he trapped her later in season

2 because bulk and skull couldn't even get it

open with it with a Skill saw within everything.

Yeah A duct -tape can work though because that

dude made that like real boat out of duct tape

and like actually was sailing it across the ocean

or whatever. Did you guys see that like a month

and a half ago? Yeah, I saw that. That pirate

ship. He made like a Viking ship actually. No,

Mythbusters made duct -tape boats. Oh did they?

This was like a legit like big boat. Oh, yes.

Yes. I know what you're talking about. Yeah,

that's still crazy. So I think we can hold Rita

down with enough duct tape Just look for the

teenager with the green shirt They haven't picked

that up yet They're like look we understand that

you're the pink Ranger Kimberly, but do you always

have to wear pink? I don't get that Change your

shirt You know so for a super advanced automaton

he has a lot of really crappy Radio Shack electronics.

That was the 90s. And they were on sale. Radio

Shack have a sale? Yeah, right. He looks like

Roboto. From the back, like the blue, like with

the clear kind of looking thing. Oh, yeah, everything's

funny. Nice hat. Her fashion. Is she wearing

a hat on a hat? No, she's not. It's like a just

a bunch of different colors hat You know the

sad thing is there are that they're on the screen

right now are the three best actors in the show

Yes Minus Tommy and Goldar And squat And Babu

Babu Babu and Finster was just standing it but

Magic, Spada. He keeps changing position every

time the camera changes angles. Oh, hey Pudgy.

Love this dude. What was his name? Something

Knight. The Blackest Knight. What was that dude's

name? He's in one of the later episodes. Steve.

His name was Steve. Steve the Knight. That's

right. Yes. The niate. Her wand is different.

Why? What do you mean? It's closed. It's not

an open moon. Look at it right there. Well, you

can't look at it now. It's disappeared. But I'm

just saying I think that thing might be full

of chocolate And now I need to go out and find

some penny candy, oh boy, here we go Apparently

they've been training because 24 hours ago all

he did was flip and kick and scream a little

bit and they were they almost pissed their pants

but now He's got his super cool old -ass football

helmet on, and he's gonna fist fight this guy.

And Skull apparently has one of those Mario blocks

on his hat. I like the fact that, you know, there

are his eyes flash, and they notice. If it was

anything else, nobody else would notice. Yeah.

Yeah, you know, Scotty, you bring up a good point

about the Mario... I would watch that. He's gonna

kill Zach. No, it's... well, that's a pretty

light body bag. I thought this place was a...

just a... wasn't it just a juice bar? No, it's

juice bar and gym. Oh. That just, you know, happens

to have school lockers in the next room. It's

a gym bar with a locker room. Outside they actually

have prostitutes. It's a little bit of everything.

And next door is a McDonald's. My main cabinet.

The Paul's got a main cabinet. Yeah, what coulda

shoulda? Yeah, see she's just got one of them

stupid golf hats on with a bunch of different

colored patches on it School Lockers are green

his outfit is green As much as I love Amy Jo

Johnson Kimberly you are the dumbest non blonde

I've ever seen Yeah, how to go to Kmart and get

this mesh green shirt Yeah, where would you even

find that the fish the fishing store and then

you cut the handle off of it and cut cut holes

in it see go where He's a green canary. Oh No,

that's a soccer shirt or a lacrosse shirt used

in practice That's what that is. Those are way

the holes are way too big And nobody noticed

that, with all the people walking around. See

it, Scotty? Yes. There's your favorite ball.

Yep. Sure is, dude. Now we just need Supergirl

to walk from behind those trees. Oh, I wish.

You know what? Goldor really doesn't do much.

He kinda reminds me of a politician. He just

stands there and pontificates, and that's about

it. Wait, you already beat the putties wire But

Wait, she just moved him to the left And normally

like won't bad guys try to be like the most underhanded

people ever So it's like look before we give

you this sword. You have to earn it And normally

be like here's a gun an army and two swords Our

gold our duties got morals Did you just say gold

are his morals yeah apparently Not as not as

many morals as a clip door later, that's true

Yeah, her one changes every scene now, well if

It doesn't change every scene it It's kind of

obvious when it when it's thicker You can see

that or the the moon part is actually like thicker.

That's an American shot If it's much if it's

thinner and looks more like the wand it's supposed

to it's the Sentai shot So you're now going to

give him really awesome stuff for defeating five

putties Yeah Yeah, pretty much, yes. That looks

a lot smaller than they showed in a couple of

minutes ago. Mm -hmm. It's all your imagination.

That's normally what I do with my watch when

it doesn't work. Hit it. Man, this Samsung Galaxy

Gear just doesn't work the way it's supposed

to. Okay, Kimberly and Zach, it's not so obvious.

Trini, Billy, and Jason, it's very obvious that

they are all Power Rangers. Look at these two.

Look at Jason and Tommy here. You know. I don't

know. how it only it took bulk and skull five

years to find out who they were even though bulk

and skull are you know dimwits still actually

they're kind of some of the smartest people on

the planet if you think about it at times yes

and then at times they're also the stupidest

yes but it's no different than really like no

one's gonna figure out who Batman or Superman

is Are you guys retarded? Oh god, don't even

get me started on that forever evil crap. That's

what I'm saying, it's no different. You just

gotta keep it the way it is for the storyline.

Love how thick they and how high they make the

smoke like they can always tell us ah This is

somewhere spooky This isn't the command center

at all or the command center set Guys come in

I am fucked This is totally where he goes like

Riddick isn't it where he kind of like gets like

we're writing for the goal our but he's not moving

so we can't see him Yes, no, it's cuz he's laying

down. I might take it easy We're gonna take that's

a stupid car again Well, that's Sentai footage

for sure. Yep That was in the Sentai. I did forget

about that. That's the only way to fly. Oh my

god. It's a bug. One of the most uncomfortable,

unpleasant to drive vehicles man has ever created.

Hey Spada, if it was yellow and it transformed

it would be slightly better. Yes, slightly yes.

Slightly. And you told her to cheer up. They

just keyframed the shit out of that thing. They

just did what? Did you see it just kind of like

drop into the hole of the command center? Yeah,

it did. Sliding a picture like that is called

keyframing. something's happening oh look the

globe still works good job billy is something

happening look at the globe my sources say yes

i wish it would just come up like a magic ball

wait wait wait you have partial power now but

all the lights were on the things in the back

are blinking and the stars are on and the globe

works What was that? The next door neighbor's

generator. Oh, so the Honda Honda generator they

had outside. OK, right. That noise you hear.

That's actually the motor running. Oh, so it

runs on diesel. Gotcha. Yes. Ooh, take that.

Wow, that's a horrible makeup job on Goldar's

arm. Nah, not makeup costuming. Well, yeah, but

it looks like burnt flesh kind of makeup type

of deal. God, Goldar was the first General Grievous.

Why is he clutching his stomach? He wasn't hit

there. He says it so nonchalantly. Yeah, looking

at the sword now, it does look... It's Sentai

footage, that's why. Looks a lot bigger. Yeah.

That's what she said. So in Japan, it looks bigger,

huh? Okay, great. Yeah, sadly. And it looks better

painted too, oh god! In Japan, everything has

better paint apps! It's a sad, sad day. That's

awesome. Yep. Red Lion! I mean, Pterodactyl!

You know, that was a different angle. It's never

shown the Pterodactyl flying straight up. At

least I haven't noticed it until now. It usually

just flies vertically out of the... Yeah. You

notice they never show the Pterodactyl attaching

in this mode? Yes, they do. When? Oh, you mean

the battle mode? Yeah, the tank mode. Yeah, no,

because it doesn't. I don't think it does at

all. Oh, yes, it does. Really? Yeah. Well, the

toy does. On the toy, it does, and you see it

when it's moving in tank mode, but they never

show it actually fly up and attach. I don't think

they do in the Sentai, either. And he's able

to take down the Megazord with... Oh, wait. Forgot

about my shield bitch Take that with you That's

not the what's the name of the sword it's not

the sort of Damocles is sort of darkness Darn

this. Did we ever get a like a play -action toy

of that? No No, but they actually starlight studios.

I think it made it like a real version of it

And there I think it was I want to say it was

like 200 bucks. Oh Yeah, but I mean it was legit

like legit metal, you know, I mean and somebody

like fabricated that thing from scratch So it's

worth every penny He's fading fast there's not

much time if it was isn't a rerun of the Andy

Griffith show Wow, that'd be amazing like now.

This is fine. Leave it here. We'll get started

on later. I love this episode The question is

which character would be Opie and which character

would be Barney Crinkle the foil on the antenna

a little more little to the right little to the

right Thank God she took that stupid hat off

They made her like look we're not doing nothing

else. Do you think that stupid ass hat off? Not

going outside with you with that hat on He couldn't

just reach over the blade one. Yeah, that's what

I was gonna say Or you couldn't like kick the

sword up and then grab it. Yeah, really Don't

don't Don All right, that's the end of the commentary

for part two We're gonna take a quick break and

we'll be back after this We can't get a fix on

Zordon. And without Zordon, we have no clue who

that green guy was that attacked us. Look at

this place. Whoever broke in here knew exactly

what to do. They totally trashed it. And they

gave Alpha a virus. Poor Alpha. You making any

progress, Billy? I'm doing the best I can, but

I'm unfamiliar with the circuitry. Try the subatomic

manipulator. Let's be careful not to hurt him,

Billy. Trust me, Trina, he can't feel anything.

Even if we get him working again, there's no

telling which shape his memory will be in. Hey,

he's starting up! Come on, Alpha. So, Trina,

operational. Operational. Dude! Do that! Alpha,

you're back! Good job, Billy! All right, Alpha.

Alpha may be okay. But we still have to find

a way to get Zordon back and figure out the story

with that Green Ranger. Kid? Yes? Shut up. Beyond

Same That's gonna do it for green with evil part

two Wow Yeah, I remember back in the day being

so agonizingly Depressed after watching every

single one of these five parter episodes cuz

waiting that 24 hours again It's so killer cuz

they even though it's cheesy They made it really

really suspenseful at least for you know 13 year

olds back in the day absolutely And Any final

thoughts Spada it was a good episode I think

it's probably one of the weaker ones of The five

because it's setting up. It's doing a little

more setup Yeah, it's all plot exposition. Mm

-hmm, but the whole You know, watching these

episodes over again, I just, I really don't like

Trini. I'm sorry. I don't either. She's never

ever really done anything ever. Even up to the

point where they go on whatever, to Switzerland

or wherever the hell, she never, like they didn't

start doing breakout Yellow Ranger episodes until

Aisha. They really didn't. I mean... Like I've

said before Trini she's there to be a fifth Ranger.

She's Has no character What little character

she does have it's you know? Telling Billy to

calm down at certain points I want as we went

with a female instead of a male as opposed to

this entire version To just sort of get more

girls to watch so that because the color yellow

Yeah No, seriously. That's the reason Oh. Yep.

So. Alright, well, I think that's it for us.
