Henshin Power V3

Nathan sits down with a fellow another fellow author! This time it's the writer of the new book Kaiju Unleashed, Shawn Pryor. Not only did he write this crash course in all things tokusatsu, he's also created his own toku-inspired comic book, written for Boom Studios' Power Rangers comics, and written children's books. We have a lot to talk about!
New discussion episodes are coming!

Nate (“The TsuBro”) and Chris (“Sentai Guy”) are hanging out trying to find Jake (“The Metal Don”) to get started on recording Kamen Rider Faiz. Suddenly, Jake comes running up to them with briefcases in hand he says he was given by an employee of Smart Brain before she died….

Hello, Henshin Heroes! Since there are five Wednesdays in January, and we want to give you something to tide you over while Chris edits the next few episodes, here’s the audio from our Christmas livestream that aired December 21, 2024, on the HPV3 YouTube channel. Enjoy!
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Join Nate (The TsuBro), Chris (Sentai Guy), and Jake (The Metal Don) as they celebrate Christmas the Japanese way: with KFC, gifts, and holiday episodes of Ultraman Ace, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Space Sheriff Shaider and...something else. (The Great Leader might be involved...).
Watch the original full-video version on the Henshin Power V3 YouTube channel.

All right, Henshin Heroes! For your bingeing pleasure (or disdain for us eating up your cellular data and device storage), here’s “Ultracut #2” with all 12 hours(!) of us discussing Ultraman (1966)! I guess Nathan (The TsuBro) keeping all that exuberance for this franchise bottled up for four years of podcasting just spilled all over the show and broke our format. Enjoy!

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) weren’t prepared for a double-whammy of Akio Jissouji in their last batch of Ultraman (1966) episodes—and Nathan’s seen them before! It doesn’t help that they recorded way past the witching hour. Rockets up the anus?! On episode 34?! All of this broke the show’s format worse than any other before it. That’s the power of Jissouji! Regardless, it’s a bittersweet episode for Nathan as he closes this chapter of the HPV3 tokusatsu journey, but he gets to talk about Mefilas, the second death of Pigmon, and other high points. The boys also give out series awards at the end. (Here’s a hint: #IdeSweep).
Next time: Kamen Rider 555 (Faiz)!
Our apologies for the lateness of this episode. Life, uh, found a way to delay postproduction.

The tables have turned—Nathan is interviewed on his own podcast! Why? Because he “Mel Gibson’d” (wrote, directed, edited, produced, and starred in) a one-shot origin episode for Scyther Podcasts’ Power Rangers: The Audiodrama titled “Origins: Rito Bandora.” Nathan explains how he got the role of Rito Bandora (or Rito Revolto, depending on who you talk to) and how this special episode came about. Also, the Snarky Bonehead himself hijacks the show for a few minutes—and he’s so powerful, it actually messes up the recording slightly!
Listen to “Origins: Rito Bandora” on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
Additional music: “Game Over” by Jacob Lizotte.

Nate (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) get into some controversial topics that will definitely get them letters! Their coverage of Ultraman (1966) brings them to a point where the show has found its stride…for the most part. Episodes 20-29 feature “My Home is Earth,” which may be the best episode of the show, and the series’ one-and-only two-parter with “The Monster Highness”—which Chris says fumbles the script-writing ball with the Kenny-est Kenny. He even demands Nate apologize to Hoshino! Also, Ide continues to be awesome (#IdeSweep). All this and more in the latest Henshin Power V3!
Sorry this episode is late. Chris ran into some life and technical issues while editing; plus, you know, Thanksgiving happened.

A lot happens in this batch of episodes. As the title implies, we get a crossover between Godzilla and Ultraman…sorta…not really. Several iconic and incredibly weird Ultra Kaiju appear, including Pestar (who’s literally two suit actors holding hands), Gavadon (who’s a pillow waiting to happen), the return of the Baltans (so the genocide debate is moot), and more! Also, Nate (“The TsuBro”) introduces Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) to seminal Ultra director Akio Jissoji, because they cover his first two episodes. Toss in a visit from the Great Leader and HPV3’s trademark awards, and you another great podcast from the guys. (For the record: Ide is the hero of this series).
