I'm slowly catching up on the current season of Friends at the Table. I fell behind a long time ago, and have been sad about it. It's really good! I'm still in the Mechnoir section (they eventually change systems right?).
Luke takes the hosting chair this week with Zack out on undisclosed, vaguely baby-related reasons, and the 5 remaining crew members take a podcast joyride and look for the biggest, fastest bus they can find to throw him under.
Join us as we take umbridge with some bulk and skull slash fiction (not for the reason you might think), Luke diggs up some old unused scripts for the show to try to find out if they ever say 'Cut To The Moon', and the crew takes the well thought out and carefully constructed discussion about the movie suits from last week and poops all over it.
Look, who did you think wrote these writups?
Episode Discussed: S01E44: Lions and Blizzards
Highlights: Podcast Stalin, Theme Song Singalong, Disney Sellouts, Zack Negs the hell out of Angela, Can't have an Erotic Tug Of War Without A Mud Pit, Ernie Gets Tired Of The Rangers Shit, Unexpected Wolf Whistle, Snow Megazord, Mayonnaise brand Mayonnaise, Luke tries out some new catch phrases
He gave his powers to Mike when he died so now Mike is the Magna Defender.
but listen
this is the magna defender, he is an alien
You never see his face, this is just what he looks like at all times
this is the magna defender's son
I am pretty sure that's just what their race looks like
And then a human gets the ability to turn into him? That's some Croenenberg shit
hey @Gatsby do you know what the deal is with this in the sentai?
I know the "his powers go to someone" part was made up for the american show right
So that's black knight bullblack of the planet taurus
The little kid is his brother who gets murdered by the bad guys in front of him, out of pure spite
He becomes basically the punished and butts heads with the gingamen before he winds up having to fuse with the red ranger's younger brother in order to not die, a fact which he taunts the red ranger with

"Speed Racer" you need to check this episode against your script to see if they repurposed it for later
nope
it doesn't feature bulk and skull stealing a growth ray and growing a homeless man's shopping cart so he can take more food from a charity banquet at the juice bar
Oh, and for the record, I haven't bought the Legacy Dragonzord (I'm not that nuts yet). I did pick up the black edition that just came out at Toys R Us, but that was only $70 and am hoping it one day gets spendy enough on the secondhand market that I can sell for enough to buy the normal one. I did buy the Thunderzord for $175 though.
I can't believe you guys did toy talk without me. There's also movie versions of the morphers (where each one is color-coded), the Ninjazord, and a replica of the Red Ranger's helmet coming out.

i think i brought that last one up pre or post show
for those who haven't listened/aren't going to listen
Molly Zack and I watched an episode of Power Rangers: Super Samurai that has the exact same title ad plot to the episode MMPR we watched and kept working in references to the SS episode the entire time, until we finally explained it like an hour and a half later

Man the music is so bad. Could not be more generic heroic music.
Sure but you're not the Magna Defender.
He stole his fucking... clothes? Skin?
HOW DOES THE MAGNA DEFENDER WORK
edit: also the episode is encoding now

You really should emphasize that the dinosaur with a back castle is flying through space.
Just really nail home the absurdity.

Also the kid's name is Zika which is all kinds of weird now.
I was 100% serious about doing a table read of this.

Does he also charge at the red ranger a lot?

nope

Photo ID for dogs would be great. Extending the RFID chips that we often use for dog IDs to humans would be even better though.

So you're in favor of dog vote suppression, then.
