Episode 101 - Saban's Power Rangers
Welcome back to your favorite movie podcast where we reexamine some of the biggest financial failures and discuss if they deserved to be called a “bomb”. It’s Morphin’ TIme! Or…maybe not! Could be time to hang out with a few moody teenagers for two hours and have a donut! Yep, we are already taking jabs at this week’s film, 2017’s Power Rangers…or Saban’s Power Rangers…or Teen Drama the Movie sponsored by Krispy Kreme Donuts! On this week’s episode, Troy and Brad welcome back their good friend, Bret, to discuss a film based on one of the biggest toy franchises of all time. The gang jumps into their Zords to not only discuss the 2017 reboot but reminiscence about the Mighty Morphin’ Power Ranger’s TV show from the early 90’s. What do you get when you combine an overcomplicated plot, The Breakfast Club, and fart-techno…that’s right Power Rangers!
