Rangersplain

The Rangersplain team heads back into space with a look at Lost Galaxy, which is certainly more of a trip than the one it takes to get to Mirinoi! This month, it's all about hot bug aliens, the eternal suffering and angst of bull knights, disaster bisexuals, backwards engineering sword and sorcery into space stations, the terrors of neoliberalism, and the eternal question of just how Terra Ve...

The Zordon Era comes to an end as Power Rangers heads into the last place uncorrupted by the United Alliance of Evil... SPACE! Ashley and Sid take a look at Power Rangers In Space and have their brains warped by the bad astronomy, Astronema's bad wigs, the chunky highlights of Andros, and the speculation of what kind of relationship Darkonda and Ecliptor had anyway. (This is an episode w...

Sid and Ashley's shift into Turbo continues as the old ranger team we knew moves on with their lives. Things go from bad to just plain weird as our intrepid hosts lose what little they have left of their sanity and their brains turn into the weird prop bat Carlos turned into when he was a vampire. Yes, there are vampires. And giant pizzas. And evil shirts that possess people. What even is Turbo at...

Ashley and Sid have finally reached the dreaded Turbo in a special two part episode. Discussing the first Ranger team of the season, the two wonder just where it all went wrong and if Rocky purposefully yeeted himself out of the franchise. Also, this is a Divatox fan podcast now. We don't make the rules. (This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") Show Notes  Our Patreon

In a very special April Fools Day episode of Rangersplain, Sid and Ashley take a look at some of the public service announcements the Power Rangers have done over the years. Plus, they get a visit from a... uh... "special" guest. Don't try this one at home, kids!  (This episode is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules) Show Notes Our Patreon

Rangersplain is stronger than before? Ashley and Sid return to Power Rangers with Power Rangers Zeo, which they slowly realize over the course of the episode does not hold up too well upon closer scrutiny. This episode is all about bad acting, worse continuity, homophobia, yeeting robots, how Bulk and Skull are the best developed characters, and Ashley’s sudden inability to say “Rita and Zedd.” (T...

Ashley continues her Cutie Honey takeover of Rangersplain in this belated Valentine's Day Special about the live action Cutie Honey films! The two discuss 2004' Hideaki Anno's over the top and loving tribute to the franchise, and 2016's Cutie Honey Tears, which is a film that exists.

Rangersplain is officially back with a special  two-part episode! It’s Ashley’s turn to be the expert as she walks Sid through Cutie Honey The Live, the first tokusatsu she ever watched! With wigs and a plot this bad, it’s a surprise it wasn’t her last...(This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") Show Notes  Our Patreon

GUESS WHO'S BACK IN THE COMMAND CENTER?! That's right, Ashley and Sid have reached back into the vault and finally released their look back at the first five arcs of Boom Studios' Go Go Power Rangers! It's all about teen drama, dark future selves with alternative lifestyle haircuts, Rita and her cheekbones committing matricide, and shonen physiques in this episode. (This is an episode where Sid we...

Ashley and Sid are back at it again at Krispy Kreme and are taking a look at the 2017 Power Rangers movie as well as the sequel comic Power Rangers: Aftershock . The two have some serious feelings about representation, suplexes, how much Zordon sucks, and Bill Hader. Ashley mostly has gay feelings about how much she loves Elizabeth Banks...

Ashley and Sid may be done with MMPR, but MMPR isn't done with them yet. Specifically, they're jumping into the comics for the first time with Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Pink! Tune in as they talk character development, existentialism, backstabbing, front stabbing, sweet leather jackets, and why Goldar is still the dirt worst. (this is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") Show Notes O...

Sid and Ashley return to their regularly scheduled program to talk Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Season 3 and Alien Rangers. Everything happens so much and not in the fun Nut Button way. In the crosscurrent of capitalist weirdness sort of way. (This is back when Sid went by "Jay or Jules") Show Notes Our Patreon

Meow meow meow purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (Translation: It's April Fools day! And Sid and Ashley take some time to talk cats and Mighty Morphin' Meower Rangers! Don't worry, the regular episode is coming tomorrow.) This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules." Show Notes Our Patreon

Sid and Ashley join in with the 90s nostalgia craze by looking at the time capsule of the era that is Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Sid remembers it fondly while Ashley wonders what sword and sorcery movie Dolcea stumbled out of. They both agree on one thing though: Goldar is creepy.  (Note this episode is where Sid went by "Jules" or "Jay") Show Notes Our Patreon

Sid and Ashley have moved on to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season 2, where there are new rangers and new zords with extra long names. Sid is convinced she has Stockholm Syndrome now while Sid introduces the Nut Button to talk about their childhood crushes. (Note this episode is where Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules).

Welcome to Rangersplain, where Sid Smith takes their best friend Ashley Leckwold on a magical journey through the world of Power Rangers. First up is the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. What do they think? Well, mostly that it was 60 episodes long and terribly written.   (Sid's called "Jay" in this episode as of was how they used to be.) Show Notes Our Patreon
