    Bonus Episode #11: “Tiga Meets McFarlane” | Dark Horse’s Ultraman Tiga Manga #5-#10 (Past Sins, Future Dangers)

    Strap in for part two of Nathan’s coverage of Dark Horse Comics’ 2003 Ultraman Tiga manga, because “The TsuBro” goes on a pair of “Rantmasters”! This comic started off strong but quickly derailed into Todd McFarlane-fueled madness. There’s an alien villain from the TV series who’s radically re-imagined as a bad clone of Clown/Violator from Spawn. And he’s suddenly replaced in the final issue by a new villain, Kyrieloid, who looks like he did in the show, but he’s otherwise nothing like him. But nothing—nothing—can prepare you for the out-of-pocket fourth wall break. Even Deadpool is confused. Time to dive into some esoteric Ultra insanity! New discussion episodes are coming!

    Bonus Episode #10: “Tiga Meets Liefeld” | Dark Horse’s Ultraman Tiga Manga #1-#4 (Return of the Warrior)

    As you we wait for Chris (aka “Sentai Guy”) to finish editing our Kamen Rider Faiz episodes, Nathan (aka “The TsuBro”) discusses a bit of “Ultra Obscura”: a ten-issue Ultraman Tiga comic published by Dark Horse in 2003. While it looks like something they’d have produced themselves, it was actually made in Hong Kong in 1998 and then translated by Dark Horse. As Nathan explains, the comic starts off strong by adapting the premiere episode of the 1996 TV series, but it gets more divergent and bonkers as it goes. There’s a reason this comic has been forgotten by all but a small cult following. Part 2, which focuses on issues five to ten, drops next week. New discussion episodes are coming!

    Bonus Episode #8: HPV3 Goes to G-Fest XXX (livestream excerpt)

    In this excerpt from our latest Ultraman Omega livestream, we discuss our weekend at the epic G-Fest XXX in Rosemont, Illinois. This is probably the biggest kaiju convention in the world. It’s mainly focused on Godzilla, Kong, and Gamera and the like, but Tsuburaya Productions and Ultraman had strong presences there this year; their strongest ever. It was Chris’s first convention ever, and for the first time, all three of us met in person. We also met the (in)famous Saiyan Girl! Enjoy! Watch the UNCUT livestream here.

    Bonus Episode #7: Henshin Men, Episode 069 – “The Shocker Chainsaw Massacre” | Kamen Rider: The Next | Ft. Christopher Riner

    In our third Henshin Men bonus re-upload, Chris returns as a pinch hitter for Jake to discuss the sequel to Masked Rider: The First, Kamen Rider: The Next. This was Chris’s (and Nate’s) first exposure to Kamen Rider V3, and as you’ll hear, their opinions on the character have evolved since this episode. What’s exciting is this film is finally getting an official U.S. release on blu-ray from Media Blasters. Enjoy! The original shownotes:  “Sixty-nine, dudes!” And now that the obvious joke is out of the way: Christopher Riner returns as a second-time guest because Jake Hambrick was busy with family (good for him!). But Mr. Riner can’t help but ask, “Why me?” The film he discusses with Nathan, Kamen Rider: The Next, is a secret J-horror movie complete with a Sadako knockoff. (Making it accidentally perfect for Halloween season). To say it’s a far cry from its predecessor, Masked Rider: The First, would be an understatement. It’s dour, convoluted, and confusing. But it does do one thing better than The First. What’s that? Let’s just say it made Chris think Koichi Sakamoto was involved with this movie. Listen to hear this and more in the latest Henshin Men!

    Bonus Episode #6: Henshin Men, Episode 068 – I Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Henshin Pose! | Masked Rider: The First | Ft. Jake Hambrick

    In this Henshin Men re-upload, you’ll hear Jake’s first podcast appearance. He joined Nate to discuss Masked Rider: The First (aka Kamen Rider: The First), which is now getting a blu-ray re-release from Media Blasters. The first episode of our Kamen Rider Faiz coverage is coming soon! The original shownotes: Henshin Men goes from a reimagining of the original Kamen Rider (1971) to a reimagining of Kamen Rider Black and now back to what Nathan says is the superior reimagining of the 1971 series and manga: Masked Rider: The First (2005). He’s joined by aspiring podcaster Jake Hambrick to dive into this unique Japanese superhero film. It borrows more from Shotaro Ishinomori’s manga than the TV series, so it lacks tropes like the iconic henshin pose, and has an almost Sam Raimi Spider-Man flair to it. What truly makes it stand out, though, is its theme: the power of beauty. Throw in some great practical effects and solid fight scenes, and you have a winner in the remake debate.
