This is a commentary episode, meant to serve as an episode commentary like what you would find on a DVD or a Riff track. For maximum enjoyment please watch along with us. We are watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always 30th Anniversary Special, available exclusively on Netflix.
Eric, A.P. and Zach are here with a SPOILER-FREE review of the Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Special – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always.
A huge thanks to Hasbro, eOne and Netflix for providing us with a Press Screener.
Here is Zach’s review:
I love how this special jumps right into the action and we’re quickly introduced to the new character Minh, played by Charlie Kersh. She fits right in with the cast and you feel the emotion behind every line she says.
The special moves at Lightning pace to tell a comprehensive story that lays out exactly what happened to the team, and the hurdles they must overcome in order to come out on top. Lots of great fight scenes, tons of heart, and a love for the original MMPR team tempered with fun easter eggs for the long time franchise fans. And while not every single plot hole is explained away, only the most hardcore lore hounds will notice. When in doubt, just remember the MST3K mantra “It’s just a show, I should really just relax.”
The updated effects look fantastic for what they were able to achieve with their budget. Seeing the updated morph sequence is a visual and nostalgic delight. As seen in the trailers, there’s a putty fight in the Juice Bar that absolutely blew my mind with how faithfully the original Juice Bar set has been recreated. Major kudos to the set designers and builders for making this set piece so faithful to the original.
The fight scenes are wonderfully scored thanks to the legend, Ron Wasserman. He managed to recreate the FEEL of the original series’ score while updating it. His work is absolutely worth watching certain scenes over and over to enjoy his score.
The climax of the special is an emotional rollercoaster that will have you cheering, laughing, and absolutely shedding a few tears. This special is everything I hoped for and surprised me at every turn. My only gripes are minor nitpicks that honestly have been talked about to death, so I won’t mention them here.
This special is fantastic and that’s why I’m giving Power Rangers: Once and Always an easy 9/10.
Yesterday, eOne and Power Rangers revealed the first sneak peek at the upcoming Netflix special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always!
The clip shows Rocky and Kat receiving Proxy Power coins that Billy and Alpha have created together. Zack has some concerns about duplicating powers, echoing Zordon’s past warnings. Kat doesn’t care about too much Pink energy being dangerous if it means saving lives.
Finally, an explanation of her using the Pterodactyl Power Coin!
Just days after Power Rangers revealed the key art for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, Netflix debuted the official trailer for the 30th Anniversary Special on Tuesday (3/21) evening through Twitter and Facebook.

Inspired by the legendary mantra from the franchise “Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger,” Once & Always reminds everyone when you become a Ranger, you are always a part of the Ranger family and always welcome.
