WHO: Saban’s Power Rangers

WHEN:  Thursday, August 6 – Sunday, August 9

WHERE: Ashton Court Estate, Bristol, England

WHAT: For the first time ever Saban’s Power Rangers participated in the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. As one of the largest balloon festivals in the world, an estimated 500,000 spectators were in attendance and watching as more than 100 hot air balloons took to the skies during the four-day celebration. Saban’s Power Rangers debuted two brand-new Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers balloons at the festival’s Night Glow event on Thursday evening. As the only brand with two balloons featured in the event, the Power Rangers balloons were designed in the likeness of the iconic Red and Pink Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers helmets. Visitors of the festival were also able to watch the Power Rangers balloon teams prep, inflate, launch and land the POWERED UP balloons throughout the remaining three days of the event.

“The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is a weekend of non-stop family fun, which is a perfect fit for Saban’s Power Rangers brand,” said Gustavo Antonioni, Managing Director, Consumer Products EMEA at Saban Brands. “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers are a pop-culture phenomenon and fans of all ages loved seeing the larger-than-life Red and Pink Ranger balloons flying high in the sky.”

U.K. fans can tune-in to Saban’s Power Rangers Super Megaforce airing daily on POP at 8:30 a.m. and Kix at 12 p.m. The all-new season, Power Rangers Dino Charge, will debut August 31 at 7:30 a.m. on POP.

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

On July 11th, host @trekkieb47 attended G-Fest 22. G-FEST is a family-oriented convention which caters to a wide variety of interests within the kaiju genre. It is the largest regular gathering of Godzilla and Japanese monster fans in the world. Held every summer, it typically attracts more than 1000 attendees and has seen a gradual increase in attendance over the past few years.

In this episode we present Noboru Kaneko‘s panel in its entirety. Noboru-san played the character of Kakeru who transformed into Blazing Lion, GaoRed, leader of the Gaorangers. Gaoranger was Toei Company’s twenty-fifth production of the Super Sentai series, which aired in 2001, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the franchise. For Godzilla fans, Mr. Noboru is best known for his role as lead scientist Yoshito Chujo in Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.

Speaking of Tokyo S.O.S, at the end of Noboru’s panel we are including panel highlights from Masaaki Tezuka, Director for the Godzilla Millennium Series movies Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.

Enjoy the show!

In our second commentary track episode, our hosts do some drinking while watching “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie“. 20 years ago to the day (June 30th, 1995) the MMPR movie captured our imaginations as children, so how does it stand up today?

This episode is 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 the DVD editions of the movie. As of today it is not available on streaming aside from Amazon Prime.

This episode may not be suitable for minors.
