| 43: Ninja Steel? I GUESS! | 01 déc. 2022 | ||
Well, it’s the end of 2022 and Ashley and Sid have finally reached the end of the Neo-Saban era with Ninja Steel! Which is… certainly a series that exists to infuriate them.

This month, Sid and Ashley discuss Haim Saban’s return to Power Rangers, the poor swim form of Kevin, the curse of heterosexuality, and why Lauren Shiba deserves better. It’s a golden two hours!

This month, Rangersplain is taking a trip to Kells! Ashley and Sid are taking a look at Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, a nearly lost series that was Saban’s first attempt at creating a tokusatsu in house. With discussions of Irish mythology, fae trickery, polycules, how to access the Morphin’ Grid, and boning down with demons, it’s certainly one for the history books. | |||
| 32: Ashley and Sid's Big Gay Disney Overview | 01 janv. 2022 | 03:13:12 | |
It’s the end of an era, so it’s time for Ashley and Sid’s Big Gay Disney Era Overview! There’s a lot to discuss in terms of quality and progression, but first they get to the bottom of Power Rangers’ Disney woes.

It’s a era ending you don’t want to miss! Show Notes Our Patreon | |||

After a crazy Halloween, Sid and Ashley get back to the Power Rangers grind with the penultimate season of the Disney era: Jungle Fury!

| missingno5: It's The Great Archduke of Nightmares, Rangersplain! | 31 oct. 2021 | 01:50:41 | |
Rangersplain is having a Halloween party and you’re invited! For the spookiest time of the year, the two take a look at the wildest tokusatsu Canada has to offer: the 2020 Steven Kostanski film Psycho Goreman! However, with a party to run and a surprising creature on the loose, the two definitely need more help than usual. Thankfully, their guests prove to be more useful than Greg and Bio-Cop combined. (Guest starring friend and prolific Letterboxd user Sam, comic writer Lan Pitts, and Lillian Boyd and Quincy Rhoads of the podcast Rank and Vile.) Our Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| 29: Corona Aurora?! At This Time of Year?! | 02 oct. 2021 | 01:47:33 | |
Rangersplain shifts into overdrive this month with Operation Overdrive! Which is… certainly a season of Power Rangers they have watched. Sid and Ashley did not have a whole lot to talk about regarding the actual series this month, so it goes somewhat off the rails real quick with cyborg debates and just what era of Keanu Reeves Dax is trying to emulate. All they know is when the revolution comes, they have Spencer’s back. Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| 28: Here Be Troblins | 01 sept. 2021 | 02:43:16 | |
Galwit Mysto Rangersplain! Sid and Ashley are back to Power Rangers this month with Mystic Force! Joined by special guest Kihp from the podcast Kamen Ride With Me, the three take a look at the Power Rangers take on low fantasy and sorcery. Discussions include whether Chip joined a vampire hunting MLM, the extreme mid-2000s vibes of V’s fashion, and being surprised at how hot some of these returning suit actors are. It’s certainly one for the Xenotome. Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| 27: 50% Evil, 50% Tremble | 01 août 2021 | 01:21:34 | |
Holy Whelp, Rangersplain! This month, Sid and Ashley take a look at Los Luchadores, the short lived Fox Kids show that was the final live action production from Saban Entertainment prior to the Disney years. This show was nearly lost to time and has been mislabeled online for years, but is it any good? Well, it involves luchadors and the main villain is a cyborg chihuahua. There’s no way it can be bad. Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| 26: Laying This Old Morpher Down | 01 juil. 2021 | 01:02:21 | |
It's a return to the comics this month when Ashley and Sid cover the first Power Rangers graphic novel Soul of the Dragon! Which... is very Tommy centric. It's all about getting older, daddy issues, and learning to live with regrets in this episode. Also some gushing about the art of Nick Robles and wondering just what a certain SPD character got up to after all was said and done. Warning: Spoilers for Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean from 12:50 to 14:30 | |||
| 25: Call Me The Velvet Thunder Ranger!! | 01 juin 2021 | 02:32:56 | |
HOT DAMN! It’s time for Rangersplain to take a look at SPD! This was one of Sid’s favorite seasons in the past, but does it hold up for them now? Does Ashley have a thing for Kat? Will the two ever stop complaining about Sky? And will Boom achieve the Full Bullpen? Wait, wrong show... Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| 24: Tommy Oliver vs The World | 01 mai 2021 | 02:45:51 | |
There’s a light in the distance... Oh, it’s just Rangersplain. Ashley and Sid continue their trip into the Disney years this month with the second ever Dinosaur season, Dino Thunder! It’s a season that has everything: weirdly horny villains, expert paleontologist Dr. Tommy Oliver and his evil exes, choice 2000s Hot Topic fashion, future perpetual World Cup loser Conner McKnight, and bootleg Yu-Gi-Oh?! No wonder Ashley and Sid couldn’t stop talking about it Show Notes Patreon | |||
| 23: All Ninjas Go To Heaven | 02 avr. 2021 | 02:01:11 | |
The call is on! Ashley and Sid finally get to the Disney era with Ninja Storm! Joined by special guest Joe Hunter (Beast Heart Strikers!), the three take a look back at the season that involved extreme sports, campy alien ninjas, a team of absolute himbos sharing a singular brain cell, the audacity of early 2000s fashion, and the concept of the ninja afterlife. Ninja storm, let’s go! (Trigger Warning for a brief discussion about suicide and domestic violence when discussing Pua Magasiva from 16:45 to 19:30.) Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| missingno4: The Dragon Shield Stays on During Sex (18+) | 01 avr. 2021 | 00:34:38 | |
It’s April Fool’s Day again and it’s time for Rangersplain... after dark. Sid and Ashley take a look at Mighty Muffin Pounder Rangers, the 2016 porn parody produced by Wood Rocket. This episode is definitely not safe for work, so bring protection. Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| 22: I Wonder If There Are Dads On The Sun... | 01 mars 2021 | 01:05:28 | |
Rangersplain has tissues for Ryan Steele’s daddy issues! To close out the Saban era, Ashley and Sid take a look at their first attempt at a Power Rangers dupe with VR Troopers. Which honestly kind of melted their brains between the creepy dog, the annoying rich incel, the cartoonishly evil billionaire, the extremely apathetic mentor, and the super powered polycule keeping Cross World City together. Trooper transform! (This is an episode were Sid went "Jay" or "Jules") Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| #21: Rangersplain's Big Gay Saban Overview | 01 févr. 2021 | 02:18:44 | |
Ashley and Sids have finally reached the end of the Saban era, so it’s time to look back on it! They go over the origins of the series and Haim Saban, the impact of Margaret Loesch on the franchise, their favorites and least favorites for the era, and answer some fan questions! It’s big, it’s gay, it’s Rangersplain! (This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| #20: We'll Carry On | 01 janv. 2021 | 01:00:15 | |
Ashley and Sid start the new year of Rangersplain with a return to the comics with Sins of the Future! What they think is going to be a story about Wes and Jen ends up being a real trippy time travel story about grief and moving forward. After the year we’ve all had, it definitely hits a bit harder than expected. [This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules"] Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| #missingno3: Rangersplain's Magical Christmas | 19 déc. 2020 | 56:33:57 | |
Ho Ho Ho and Ai-yi-yi! In a very special episode of Rangersplain, Ashley and Sid try to have a nice and quiet Christmas, but someone decides that they need holiday cheer in the form of a party and a copy of Alpha’s Magical Christmas! The two struggle to comprehend just what is even happening with this non-canonical VHS tape, but thankfully, they have some guests to help and/or hinder along the way. (Guest starring Kate Nyx, Ophidian the Cobra, Bradley Prescott IV, George of George’s Ranger Reviews, Kihp from Kamen Ride With Me, and other surprise guests!) (This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") Show Notes Our Patreon | |||
| #19: Howling Wolves of Love | 01 déc. 2020 | 02:39:00 | |
It's time to reject tradition and kill Animus! This month, Jules and Ashley reach the end of the Saban era with Wild Force! They discuss the wild tonal shifts, how Alyssa and Taylor do all the work on the team, Merrick's truly heinous hair, and just what kind of hippie Shayla is. (This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") | |||
| #18: You've Created A Time Paradox! | 01 nov. 2020 | 02:47:06 | |
Well, would you look at the time? It’s time for Rangersplain to take a look at Time Force! This month, Sid and Ashley take a look at the fan-favorite season that involves time travel, himbos, genetic engineering, Sid’s worst son, and probable time paradoxes. Oh, and one instance of Steiner Math that made Ashley nearly quit the podcast again. (This is an episode were Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") Our Patreon | |||
| #17: Lightspeed Base 2021 | 01 oct. 2020 | 02:12:42 | |
Ashley and Sid are back on the grid this month as they take a look at the series that inspired the podcast: Lightspeed Rescue! It’s all about the monster drama, literal cursed tattoos, ladder arms, and himbos this month! (This is an episode where Sid went by "Jay" or "Jules") | |||
| #16 Ferbus Has Been Found Dead In Miami | 01 sept. 2020 | 01:31:30 | |
Following a package from a certain Ninjor, Ashley and Sid take a slight detour into Leawood this month to watch the almost lost Masked Rider, Saban's attempt at making Kamen Rider into a piece of Ameritoku. Between the scenes of Ferbus operating heavy machinery and plots made to match the Japanese footage that somehow make season one of Mighty Morphin look sane, it's kind of understandable why Toei wants to bury this show in a landfill. (This is an episode where Sid went by "Jules" or "Jay") Our Patreon | |||
| #15 Who Killed The World | 30 juil. 2020 | 00:57:12 | |
Ashley and Sid head back to the comics this month with The Psycho Path, the graphic novel follow up to Lost Galaxy. It gets kind of real as the two talk about restorative vs. punitive justice, who earns redemption, and just how much of a Brony Friendzone-y Psycho Green is. | |||
