Ranger Command Power Hour Episode 208

It’s time to Ranger Up with your hosts as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

Eric is joined by special guest co-host James (@MarshLandMullum) from Mostly Speakin’ Sentai (@MSSPod) to review the comic crossover event of the year, GODZILLA vs. MIGHTY MORPHIN’ POWER RANGERS!

From IDW and BOOM! Studios: When Rita Repulsa uses an ancient artifact to transport herself to a universe without Power Rangers, she finds herself in a world with aliens, kaiju, and… Godzilla! Hoping to annihilate this new foe, Rita hurls her own terrible creatures into battle. But she never expects that the Rangers have followed her to this alternate reality, pitting the Dinozords themselves head-to-head with the King of the Monsters!

We go through all five issues of the mini-series and break down the highs, lows and all the juicy Kaiju details!

Do we bleep the Gee or the Dee?

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47, @secretrangerfan & @ZachLaVoy as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

Trigger Warning (TW): Suicide, Death

“Hello listeners.

This is Eric from Ranger Command with a little bit of a pre-show heads up of what to expect in this episode. So, this episode is not going to be edited… or very light editing. So there may be some swears that are unbleeped, especially during the last half of this podcast – which is… interview that Joshua Aaron Moore did with Jason David Frank, who passed away over the past week.

This episode is a tribute to Jason David Frank and we are honoring him by not having our typical… uh…you won’t find an ad read. You’re not going to find an intro or an advertisement or anything like that.

So, just a heads up that if you don’t feel comfortable listening to this episode because we do talk about suicide… then, please skip this episode until you’re ready to listen to it. Until you want to pay your respects to Jason David Frank.

There are many listener stories, as well. Many listeners have shared their thoughts on JDF and I know that can open up a lot of emotions for people. So, this serves as a trigger warning (TW) not only for suicide, but also for the deep emotions that losing someone like Jason David Frank will cause.

A.P., Zach and I also discuss our feelings, and like I said, this will barely be edited. This is our raw emotions, recorded only a couple days after he passed. If you or someone you love needs help, please reach out to someone.

If you’re in the United States, the Suicide Hotline is 988. If you’re in the U.K., the Suicide Hotline is 0800 689 5652; if it’s an emergency, that’s 112. And then, if you are in New Zealand, emergency is 111 and the Suicide Hotline is 1737. You can find more suicide hotlines or more resources internationally at https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/ – that’s where we got this information.

Thank you for listening and Rest in Peace, JDF.”
