Eric, A.P. and Zach discuss the Power Rangers non-news of the week and review everything Power Rangers related from this year’s Hasbro PulseCon!
“Non-News”? Yeah… we talk about some “leaks” that aren’t true. Come on Ranger Nation, we’re better than that.
The rest of this is all about Hasbro PulseCon! From the Dino Fury cast interview, to all of the product reveals for Lightning Collection, comics and… yes, we talk about the NFT Megazord. What the heck is an NFT? Why is this a bad move for Power Rangers? We break all of it down. We also talk about the Hasbro Pulse Premium 1027 event and the In-Space Silver non-announcement. Finally, we ask our audience their favorite reveal or news item from Hasbro Pulse Con.
Use the extra hour this weekend to listen to the podcast!
In our Extra Episode for October 2021, brought to you by our supporters on Patreon, Eric, A.P. and Zach discuss Power Rangers Dino Fury episodes 12-14. It’s a Super Hotshot kind of episode. We don’t play the Matchmaker with fandom BS, but when we do people think we’re Old Foes.
We also discuss the news including the passing of Hasbro CEO Brian D. Goldner, Battle for the Grid in the Fighting Juggernauts bundle, upcoming comic collections and more!
We couldn’t come up with a great title for this episode, but we talk about some great topics thanks to some of our listener’s questions. What past villains would have been great in seasons other than their own? Should the live action Power Rangers TV show take a break for a few years? Who is the main audience for Power Rangers? What’s with all of these mandates?

We discuss some news including exclusive figures, exclusive comics looks and solicitations. Finally, in our Ranger Nation Answers segment, our listeners discuss their thoughts on the new Netflix episodes of Power Rangers Dino Fury.

In this episode the hosts discuss this topic from Steve F. (@HitPeopleGuy):
“I’d like to see RCPH talk about what pieces of fandom they truly enjoy. I know there’s been a lot of discourse about the frustrations of fandom spaces and interactions, but maybe something where everyone gets to talk about what they enjoy about it/interactions with people they treasure.”
From positive fandom experiences, creators that inspire us and how social media has changed our lives, we hope this episode puts a smile on your face!
We also catch up on a ton of news including: new comic releases, Humble Bundle’s MMPR comic pack, June’s Fan First Friday for Power Rangers, new Lightning Collection leaks, Renegade Games Rangers United Kickstarter, a Power Rangers film for 2023, Dino Fury now on Netflix, and more!
