In our second Extra Episode of the month, brought to you by our supporters on Patreon, Eric and Zach get spooky for Halloween with Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers“Master Vile and the Metallic Armor”.
Does this multi-part episode hold up after 24 years? Do shiny new suits really make the Ranger? Is the Blue Globbor the most disgusting monster of the entire franchise? We explore the answers to these questions as well as the return of Robo Goat, bad Netflix subtitles and “kiyaing”.
