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!

The hosts are back together to talk about headcanons in Power Rangers! We revisit a topic from one of our early episodes (Episode 13) during our first year and let our listeners share their own thoughts.

What’s a headcanon? It’s a personal canon or fan theory that fills in the gaps in the show’s own continuity until it’s actually incorporated into the show’s universe.

We also discuss some major news: the passing of Robert Axelrod (Finster, Lord Zedd, among others…), Power Rangers Beast Morphers pins from Lineage Studios. #HasbroToyPic campaign, new Lightning Collection figures, NYCC plans for Boom! Studios and breaking news that happened during recording. WWE’s Power Rangers connection, new Megazord from nWay Games, the premiere of the Power Rangers 2017 movie on SYFY and Phase 2 of Renegade Game Studios “Heroes of the Grid” game.

Finally, we have a very special and exciting announcement for our fifth anniversary season. Rangers, stop everything you’re doing and listen!

In this episode we cast the two tribes ahead of our live show.

“Power Rangers Survivor: A game of morphenomenal politics that often revolves around the underdog vs. the favorite.

And this time we’re hitting it Zord-on. It’s Power Rangers Survivor: Good vs. Evil.

The Goods: 10 Rangers that share one thing in common. Overcoming evil. It’s the only thing they’ve known.

They’ll take on The Evils: 10 Villains that also share one thing in common. Capitalizing on the weaknesses of others and using it to squash their opponents. Literally.

But when you’re abandoned in the Dark Dimension, with no idea what to expect. It doesn’t matter if the Power Protects you or Darkness consumes you. Because every Villain has an Achilles Heel. And every Ranger, a secret identity.

It’s Power Rangers Survivor: Good vs. Evil.”
