In this ep, Lone Wolf concludes his quest for the Sommerswerd!  Can our three brave podcasters properly guide him past the last obstacles between him and saving his kingdom?  Nnnnnope, because Sam's terrible choices have literally put us into a no win scenario!  To go forward, we must go back... and GET THAT SPEAR.   Send comments, corrections, or questions of literally any sort to brokusatsu@gmai...

A brief summary of why we went offline, and some changes to our content going forward.  And since I didn't make it clear, we will finish season 1 of Doom Patrol sometime soon.   Send comments, corrections, or questions of literally any sort to brokusatsu@gmail.com !

A special in this episode: a guest not related to us by blood or marraige!  Our friend Nate (not the nice Nate who messages us on facebook, a different one) joins us under slightly false assumptions about what we're covering, and has a good time with us as we continue our surprisingly lengthy quest to retrieve the Sommerswerd!  But you know who doesn't have a good time?  EVERYONE WE MEET, AS WE CA...

In addition to the usual "Harry got lazy" and "depression is a real one sometimes" reasons, this episode was delayed considerably by data glitches.  Eventually they got resolved, and... sometimes, the error is trying to stop you for your own good.  We're big arguing idiots.  And Sam was totally wrong, but regardless, wow.   But hey, three good episodes of this show!  We talk about it!  Oh, and All...

The king immediately recognizes we need help, and sends us out to retrieve our culturally vital, devastating powerful megaweapon that we kinda just... loaned out to a neighboring kingdom?   At least we got a nice seal in the process.  Anyway, we have 40 days to retrieve the Sommerswerd, and at this rate we're going to spend half of them lying concussed in gutters.   Send comments, corrections, or...

In which our heroes make probably the best decision they could, and just sit down and talk about all their problems.  It does take a whole episode.   Then, an episode that deals with one of Jane's more troublesome personalities taking hold, while Larry and Vic meet Danny Street, and we encounter one of the hardest-hitting emotional scenes you'll find until... the next few episodes that we've since...

We played the worst, now we begin with one of the best.  The Lone Wolf series of gamebooks is beloved, and it's time for our humble brothers to test their wits against the perils before them.  Except Sam is running the show for this one, so he's intentionally picking terrible skills and abandoning children to their doom.  GREAT.  ADVENTURE HOORAY.   Send comments, corrections, or questions of lite...

The world is ending, how do we stop it?  With the help of a nemesis VERY annoyed that the heroes are letting the world get destroyed by somebody other than him.  Also involving time travel, cults, Bruce Springsteen, and a cute dog.   But it's not all fun and games, and it may be time for our heroes to realize that they aren't the first Doom Patrol that tried to take on Mr. Nobody.   Send comments,...

Doom Patrol!  Still good!  We start of with a lot of Nazi killing, and although some of our protagonists are dismayed at the outcome, I think it's pretty clear that it's more in the general cosmic sense.  Especially since we spared the life of the podcast's new favorite character, ANIMAL-VEGETABLE-MINERAL MAN!   Then, our (not really a) team is interrupted in their search for their mentor when an...

We finish our journey through the worst, and only, choose your own adventure book I have read in its entirety.  And... it gets a lot hornier than I remember.

So... what would be the thing to do here?  Probably talk about the episode in a snide 4th wall-breaking manner, except I usually do that anyways?  I'm already doing something unexpected by releasing the episode no more than a week later than the last one, so that's fun. We watch the first two episodes of Doom Patrol.  The writing is tight and elegant, the special effects budget hasn't run out yet,...

For our 100th episode, we sing terribly, Sam makes me so mad it took me weeks to edit this, and I openly try to break up his marriage.  Thanks for sticking with us idiots, here's to 100 more.   Send comments, corrections, or questions of literally any sort to brokusatsu@gmail.com !

We cover the last 6 episodes of Power Rangers RPM.  Some betrayals, some revelations, some laughs, some tears.  This show started good, continued good, and is ending good.  For Tokusatsu, that's... honestly pretty rare.  Enjoy it while it lasts.   Send comments, corrections, or questions of literally any sort to brokusatsu@gmail.com !

By request of Nate Twehues on Facebook, we watch the most recent Japanese entry in the OG kaiju series, Shin Godzilla!  It's a surprisingly comedic tale of destruction, right up to the point that it definitely isn't.  And either way, we liked it.  Like we mention on the podcast, this is apparently just freely viewable on Archive.org, specifically here:   https://archive.org/details/GodzillaResurge...

In Power Rangers RPM, Tenaya 7 embraces her origins, and begins to fully cooperate with the Rangers.  But Venjix isn't taking this lying down, and in the chaos of General Shifter's rebellion, we reach a climax that heralds the start of the final stretch of RPM.  Too bad we don't get to talk about it yet because SAM WATCHED THE WRONG FREAKING EPISODE!  GJ CO-HOST!   Kamen Rider 01 coverage starts a...

In Power Rangers RPM, it's time for characters to learn what we've known for quite a while.  Doctor K's secret is out... and to her surprise, so is Tenaya's.  We're excited to see the final arc.   Kamen Rider Zero One coverage starts at 27:00 .  You can skip there, as we wish we could skip past.   Remember when I joked about "what if Zero One comes back and it's just terrible?"  Yeah.  Well joke's...

In Power Rangers RPM, a "girl power" episode that demonstrates this series does pretty okay with gender, in that the women on the team have to fight the enemies on their own and... they're all competent enough that it's not too different from usual?  Then a behind the scenes special, some funny bloopers and accents, but we can slide on back into...   KAMEN RIDER ZERO ONE!  WE'RE FINALLY HERE!  Sta...

The story concludes.  Remy cooks.  Chuki ascends.  The Wolves gather.  The fleet falls.  The Endeavor survives.  Eat it, Dione.   Send comments, corrections, or requests about what the heck we should cover to  brokusatsu@gmail.com  !  And if you like what we're doing, spread the word with some of your friends.

Although the ContenTornado still blows, its strength is waning.  Fingers crossed, next week Kamen Rider Zero One is restarting, and with it a return to normalcy.  Until then, we cover a couple of good character episodes for Gem and Gemma, but with each one getting their own ep!  They're growing as individual people, not just a kooky twin murder squad!  And rounding out the episode with Twenty Toku...

The story continues.  The fleet fractures, both metaphorically and literally.  We beg, and threaten.  Cannibalism comes back in style, if not in the manner you're expecting.  The Dione lies.  The Endeavor endures.   Send comments, corrections, or requests about what the heck we should cover to  brokusatsu@gmail.com  !  And if you like what we're doing, spread the word with some of your friends.

The story must be told.  The fleet launches, pursued by a massive armada.  Promises are made, and broken.  Research is performed, and nerfed.  The Dione sucks.  The Endeavor begins.   Send comments, corrections, or requests about what the heck we should cover to  brokusatsu@gmail.com  !  And if you like what we're doing, spread the word with some of your friends.

There's just a real weird energy on this one?  I came in full of beans, and we got into it.  Not sure if this is a great ep or a terrible one, so you tell me.  And we are doing that audio report about the megagame next, but I will be throwing a request to Facebook sometime soon.  The ContenTornado has NO RESPECT FOR PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED RELEASE SCHEDULES OR EPISODE DESCRIPTION FORMATS!  BEWARE!...
