It all leads up to this. We’ve done Power Rangers episodes…. we’ve done episodes about movies… but until now, with one possible exception, there was not a Power Rangers movie. AND NOW, though some may accuse it of being a Breakfast Club reboot
This week MikeD selected another classic of Canadian terror, filmed in a Mississauga office park. Who can brainwash better than a brain? Nobody. But so many other questions are raised. What is the brain’s goal? How can it float around on a spin
It’s all about brains over brawn in this episode. Apparently the Power Rangers represent “brains” and Bulk and the Putties are “brawn”. Meanwhile Jason takes his nephew to the beach, introduces him to “the famous bully, Bulk” and they accidenta
Lindsay found another gem for MikeR and Darrill’s enjoyment. After 1 minute of the trailer we could tell it has the best dubbing since Catman In Boxer’s Blow, and the best kung fu action filmed in Watts in 1974. Guess what, folks. We’re hooked
When you defund schools, you end up with the Angel Grove high school play, featuring the school’s largest student as Rumpelstiltskin, and students forced to bring in their grandmothers’ antique spinning wheels as props. Kimberly’s grandmother’s
The reviews are in! “I mean, I can understand why people, you know, don’t like it at all” – Darrill “So simultaneously we have Digital Underground being really funny, and we have Chevy Chase fighting an old man with a bedpan on his foot, and we
Jason. Tommy. If you want to win the inane spectacle of confusion that is the Team Ninja Finals, you’re going to need some Gung Ho. You’re going to need to learn how to Gung Ho. Rita and Finster and the Putties have mastered Gung Ho and thus cr
Trancers has so much great stuff. Time travel, Honda Elite scooters, Helen Hunt’s elf outfit, the punk version of Jingle Bells, Police Chief McNulty. But we just think something’s missing. And that thing is… one-liners. It looks like a Troma mo
It’s time for the Angel Grove High School Masquerade. Everyone’s in the costume you would expect, except Alpha 5 who is attracting ALL the ladies in his Alpha 5 costume. Rita and Finster spend most of this episode getting the Putties to assembl
Many years ago… three people, and some other people, watched a movie called Megaforce. And this, more than any other ridiculous movie, inspired them, and one other person, to create what is now known to many as Forgotten Failures. And now… afte
In this episode Kimberly and Tommy share a harrowing experience (watching Putties rough up Kimberly’s award-winning miniature parade float), which only deepens their burgeoning romance. We discuss how Angel Grove apparently hosts a nationally t
As Ep 50 approaches, Lindsay, Darrill and Awesome Mike chose this week’s movie via Random Movie Generator. And we won’t tell you what it is until you listen! Hint: It’s the greatest Danish superhero movie we’ve seen since Russian Terminator? An
We watched Alpha 5’s Magical Xmas! How is this Christmas special so utterly terrible? It’s like Power Rangers for an audience of four-year-olds in 1890. Marvel as we discuss: Alpha 5 and Zordon’s dreary home life Speculations about Alpha 5’s re
Big shakeup in Rita’s management team: Finster may be out of a job because Babboo created this week’s weapon, a potion turning Billy and Kimberly into those most hated of all creatures: Punks. MikeD, MikeR and Darrill were appalled at the depic
The cameos burst forth in this tour de force debut from Insane Clown Posse’s cinematic department. Dolemite … Rerun … Mick Foley … the Misfits hanging out in a donut bar … not one but BOTH Jerky Boys … dinky 70s instrumental music looping behin
Spiders, statues, HipHopKido, and Billy’s new pet mouse add up to a somewhat nondescript episode.  Meanwhile Darrill, MikeD and MikeR discuss how the Green Ranger is like a relief pitcher, how the Black Ranger abandons his students to go relax
True 90s Kids rejoice! It’s the movie you think you saw on SNICK at Halloween 2000, but really you just heard people talking about it years later. As a movie, Cry Baby Lane is an excellent episode of Are You Afraid Of The Dark, with 100% less C
There are movies with excessive narration — there are movies with obnoxiously excessive narration — and at some point, it goes beyond narration into full-fledged DVD commentary. Watching Bullseye! for Episode 41, we were struck by Michael Caine
Babboo and Squatt continue undermining Finster with the glorious monster you see before you. Toka from Ninja Turtles II was cool, but he’d be cooler with a traffic light. Meanwhile Zordon teaches Trini the lore of the flowers of the Hope Mounta
The credited director of Don’t Be Scared is Master P. Before watching, we figured a real director made the movie and then Master P took credit. After watching… we are sure Master P really directed this. It is that bad. There are at least three
THE DRAGONZORD AWAKENS. And the new Megazord  is black and he’s proud. The final outcome of the Green Ranger Saga is a fait accompli, with Rita and Scorpina wasted on space sangria and Tommy more interested in PUA mind games with Kimberly than
In the tradition of Russian Terminator, Mutant Hunt, and Exterminators of the Year 3000 – films with no terminators, mutants, or exterminators – comes Laser Mission. Guess how many lasers it has! Brandon Lee is Jimmy Bond, Debi Monahan is a hig
Things are heating up in the Green Ranger saga, as the Green Ranger goes mano-a-mano with a fired-up Alpha 5. Finster gets jealous as Rita blots out the sun to render the Megazord helpless. The Megazord is solar-powered? The Power Rangers save
Since childhood MikeR has yearned to watch Dudes. From defender of punks Penelope Spheeris, it stars Jon Cryer as a punk dressed like a cowboy and the guy who played Jay Leno in The Night Shift as a punk dressed like a Native American. A road-t
Everyone with a Twitter account knows more about wrestling than us, but after watching the Hulkster save Christopher Lloyd’s marriage, we shared some WWF memories. Note: when MikeD says “there were two guys from the late 80s…”, he was thinking
