Ranger Danger: A Power Rangers Podcast

Is it just us, or has everything taken on a green tint? Maybe it's because, this week on the podcast, we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'In the Limelight'! Who makes the biggest heel-turn you could possibly imagine? How does the show gracefully manage to avoid interesting contemplations of post-Ranger life? And who makes a real big, late-season play for Best Lightspeed Rescue One-Off Character? All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

What's the difference between a music festival and space? In one, you're unexpectedly surrounded by monsters, in the other... oh. Oh no. Thank god we've got series writer Ryan Parrott here to help us out as we talk about Mighty Morphin #2 and Power Rangers #2! Why do both the new Green Ranger and Drakkon go down hard? Who named Angel Groove - and who named the bands on the lineup? And is it hard to write horror with protagonists who are superpowered martial arts teens? These questions answered - and many more - on this episode of the Ranger Danger Boom Room!

I suppose it's too much to hope that we're going Into The Spider-Verse– because this week on the podcast, we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'Web War'! What ‘sordid matters’ arise? What isn’t rotors that really should be rotors? And what dear friend of Michael’s makes its tragic departure from this Earth? All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Thunderbirds are... well, they're going, but they really need to be stopped. Like, quickly. Where are... you know, all the giant rescue vehicles? Which actor is the only thing making this movie even remotely close to tolerable? And what line of dialogue takes any goodwill this movie has earned, throws it on the ground, and stomps all over it? All these questions answered - if you dare - on this Ranger Danger Patreon Special!

I honestly thought the Dad in THE LITTLE MERMAID was Neptune, but, no. 'King Triton', apparently. There goes my bit. Anyway, this week on the podcast we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'Neptune's Daughter'. I guess. Which fundamental demon rule gets broken? What bit of Bansheera lore is confirmed? And guess who doesn't have a mermaid fetish? Answers to all these questions - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

There was a DC Animated film called 'SUPERMAN: UNBOUND', once. Is that anything? I don't know. Anyway, this week on the podcast, we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'Olympius Unbound'! How many demons does it take to run a carnival? Does Captain Mitchell own more than one set of clothes? And who is the Lois Lane to Olympius' Clark Kent? All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

Why'd it sands to be sorcerers? This week on the podcast, we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'Sorcerer of the Sands'! What would it look like if 'YIKES' was personified? How does the episode go one extra step further than doing a Yoda? And how is it possible that the fate of a character leaves Mat and Michael genuinely shaken? Answers to all these questions - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

Well, I guess we can retire the podcast much earlier than we anticipated– because this week on the podcast, we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'The Last Ranger'! What's the sickest way to exit a Jeep? How can an over-used, cliche villain line suddenly work perfectly? And, what if... the episode's tag scene was actually well-constructed and genuinely funny?! All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

Once you go galactic, you have to balacktic for a two-part crossover in the following season. That's right! We're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'Trakeena's Revenge, Part II'! What was the point of the Lost Galaxy actors showing up, again? How many skulls does Triskull have? (The answer may surprise you!) And how many Rangers can one fit in a cockpit? Answers to all these questions - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

We watched some Kamen Rider before, and it was fine. Good, even. What Kamen Rider Zero-One proposes is: what if it absolutely kicked ass? Do robots need abs, and does it really matter when the abs are that good? How many times can we ask the question "is his dad a robot?"? And how does the henshin in the second episode of this show absolutely blow us away? All these questions answered - and very many more - in this Ranger Danger Patreon special!

It's the continued dawn of the Unlimited Power era! We've got upside-down fights, we've got Ranger advice, we've got Command Center heists; at the end of Boom Week, we're joined by Ryan Parrott to talk about Power Rangers #1! What's Ryan's favourite scene in the book? Which unexpected-but-also-obvious source inspired Jason and Rocky's conversation?

Oh MAYA! This week on the podcast, we're spending the DAMON watching the Power Rangers KAItspeed Rescue episLEOde 'Trakeena's Revenge, Part I'! It MIKE be fun! ...KENDRIX. Why do crossovers help to distill the current season? How long does it take us to realise there's something just a little off about Trakeena? And, shock! Gasp! What? Could it be...? Did Lauren finally find a kid she likes? All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

Drakkon's gone. All that's left is uniting two previously-warring armies against a brand new threat from space and dealing with the unexpected return of an old friend. Should be easy, right? It's probably for the best we're joined by Anthony Burch to talk about Drakkon: New Dawn! What's Anthony's trick for getting us attached to a relationship quickly - and why does it only work in comics? In what ways was this story specifically inspired by the current state of the world? And... where did Aisha go? All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of the Ranger Danger Boom Room!

This week we're racing to another time - and then back, and then forward, and then sort of sideways a couple of times. Time travel's complicated, kids. Thankfully, we've got "Sins of the Future" author Matthew Erman on the podcast to help us sort it all out. Which characters were almost part of Jen's new team? What artistic substance inspired Time Force Black? And what's so good about dueling first-person narration? All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of the Ranger Danger Boom Room!

We certainly hope this doesn't involve the year Fourteen Hundred and Ninety-Two– but it's possible, because this week on the podcast we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'Ocean Blue'! Why is Chad wreaking havoc on pier eco-systems? Why are we particularly concerned about one dude’s spine? And why are putting Glad Wrap over a cannon? Answers to all these questions - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

Sadly, we don't believe this will be about the heist of the Great Kahoolian Egg– but this week on the podcast we are watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'The Great Egg Caper'! What startling connection does our guest have to the episode’s Skateboarding Bad Boy (SBBB)? Why are we passionate about the difference between rollerskates and rollerblades? And why can we rely on demons to hold up their side of a deal?

 All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the Green Rangers you make. The Beatles said that in 1969, but in this time of iPhones and coronavirus is it still true? We're joined by music correspondent Ryan Parrott to answer that question, and more, about Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers #55. When did Ryan actually decide to add a new Green Ranger to the book? Were we ever going to find out who they were in this issue? And can Michael trick Ryan into telling us who the new Green Ranger is by catching him off guard?

This week on the podcast, you could be forgiven for thinking we're watching a Neo-Saban era crossover... because we're watching the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode 'The Mighty Mega Battles'!

And how many times does Olympius have to block out the sun before the team invests in solar batteries for Maxwell Solarzord? Answers to all these questions - and more - on this episode of Ranger Danger Lightspeed Rescue!

Someone had better call Jehn Wylleams, because it's time to start playing the Empyreal March.

Why does the Empyreal show up here and not in Power Rangers #1? And why hasn't the Omega Megazord shown up yet? All these questions answered - and more - on this episode of the Ranger Danger Boom Room!
