On August 4, 2017, Powers Rangers Dino Charge actor Michael Taber tweeted that the show was the biggest regret of his life. The next day, the tweets were deleted. This is not the first time Power Ranger actors have spoke out against the show. Eric and Zach take a deeper look into Saban Entertainment’s history with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and Non-Union work during the show’s 24 year history.

We also discuss the latest news including: Power Rangers Ninja Steel Upcoming Episode Titles and Descriptions, Saban’s Power Rangers movie final box office numbers, new double season DVD collections and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Cosmic Drift racing video.

Finally, to lighten up the show, we take a Question from Ranger Nation and discuss why a Zyuohger adaptation would work better than a Kyuranger adaptation.

SAG-AFTRA… come on Power Rangers!
