UnKamenCast RX 239 – Not a Swarm of Bugs; A Swarm of Features!

Aleph Envy Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Zero-One, Podcast, Television, Tokusatsu, unKamenCast-RX!

Once more, it’s time for your favorite Trial of Heroes judges to bring an episode to order!  As Gai the Zaiaman’s plotty plotting advances, we meet a strange new wrinkle in the story of Zero-One and things are just getting more and more intense!  In this episode of the UnKamenCast R!X!, Aleph ponders the nature of evil Rider forms, Sono’s got some thoughts on the repetition in the plot skeletons in this stretch of Zero-One, and the Metal Cluster devours like some eldritch void.

Had a hard time finding articles about Project Runway as a way to get a grip on fashion as a language, sorry.

But skill-and-style-based reality competitions are interesting ways to learn about a craft you don’t know much about yet, and a fun way to understand a little more about the world at large.

Aleph Envy Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, Laser Knees, Podcast, Super Sentai, Television, Tokusatsu

Sometimes, you get scared.  And these episodes of Ryusoulger show us that the key to getting past that fear is MARK DACASCOS (who, incidentally, was almost the first Red Ranger in the original pitch for Power Rangers)!  More info in the as-mentioned below!

And if YOU need help being distracted from whatever you’re afraid of (the world is a nightmare at the moment, we don’t think less of you even a little), Your Humble-ish Hosts are here to distract you with some Sentai thinks!  In this episode of Laser Knees, Sono examines the use of costuming to show character progression, Aleph appreciates that Koichi Sakamoto is good at directing scenes where friends fight back-to-back, and–well–OTO SMASH.
