Henshin Power V3

Episode 5: “Tusk-edo Mask” (Kamen Rider V3 Eps. 28-36)

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“The Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) overcome the odds when life, uh, finds ways to keep them from recording—which leads to some of the most effed up stuff they’ve seen in Kamen Rider V3. Specifically, an occult sacrifice scene that’s arguably pornographic…for the kids! Your hosts have questions like, why does Doktor G have a scorpion motif when his kaijin form is a crab? Destron’s insignia is a scorpion! Can you say, “Missed opportunity”? And Ken Sakuma is no Taki. Nope. And let’s not forget the hot gender-fluid tiger lady. Oh my…! Also, the guys discuss some tokusatsu/henshin hero physical media news and their first piece of listener feedback. It’s what you expect from HPV3.

Episode 4: “Go! Go! Destron Rangers!” (Kamen Rider V3 Eps. 19-27)

Say, “Hello”…to the latest episode of Henshin Power V3! Your hosts Nathan “The TsuBro” Marchand, Jake “The Metal Don” Hambrick, and especially Christopher “Sentai Guy” Riner fight the good fight against Streamyard, and after winning, they dive into their next batch of episodes for Kamen Rider V3. Sadly, this batch is held back by unfortunate shaky cam that makes the Bourne films look stable. But it also has some of the most insane kaijin-of-the-week and stunt work so far for the series. Not to mention, the Shocker generals, in true Altered Beast fashion, RISE FROM THEIR GRAVES to battle V3 himself. Too bad the promised return of Riders One and Two was a red herring. All this and more on HPV3!

Episode 3: “My One, er, Four Weaknesses!” (Kamen Rider V3 Eps. 10-18)

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) continue their journey through Kamen Rider V3 with the series’ introduction of a new commandant: Doktor Gay, er, G. Because poor literacy and English letters are scary…I guess. While the show continues to impress with its special effects and action, the characters are starting to make stupid decisions, which prompts our first “Rantmaster.” Also, Doktor G needs to pick a motif for his supervillainy! He’s trying to be all the Shocker generals thrown into a blender! Strap in, listeners!

Episode 2: “Now I Have a Machine Gun Snake!” (Kamen Rider V3 Eps. 1-9)

Listeners! Lend us your…henshin power! The boys launch their Kamen Rider V3 coverage with the first nine episodes of the series (aka: disc one of the Generation Kikaida DVD set). This covers the new hero’s origins and early battles against kaijin like Scissors-Jaguar and Machine Gun Snake, who are created by Shocker’s latest rebrand, Destro, er, Destron. Nate (“The TsuBro”) shares some research on the background of the series before they launch with a discussion of its first theme songs. Get ready for a ton of pop culture references and comparisons throughout. (Bear with us as we refine the podcast’s sound quality and format; it’s a little rough in this episode).
