In an absolutely stunning turn of events, an entire industry of assistant robots being forceably shut down inconvenienced a few people! That's where Hiden Manufacturing comes in, with its revolutionary business plan of "be not total dicks to everyone and things can get better". Jack has a brilliant plan to counter this: being an even bigger dick, all the time forever. Jin can see where the smart money is. And just maybe, so can Yua...
Power Rangers RPM coverage starts around 24:48 ! If you hear some extremely copyrighted music, you're in the right place!
Time for Ranger Yellow's backstory! Turns out that even in the apocalypse, rich people are the worst. A bit thin for a two parter, but there's some cute bits all around. And some hints at a very dark backstory we're about to crash into next week!
The very basics of ethics in AI research! A somewhat interesting giant monster fight! A man wearing something skirt-like not being mined for basic comedy! There's only one podcast that can cover all that... and it's THIS!

Zero One is better this week! Maybe, depending on which host you asked! The plot holes from before aren't filled in or anything, but our protagonists begin to dig themselves out regardless, and it's enjoyable enough to watch. Jack may be on top, but he's also pissed off literally everybody not working for him enough to band them together. And what he won in the process may turn out to be less than expected...

In power rangers RPM, we begin the backstories with Ziggy and Scott! Fun stuff, even if you know that all of the backstories are going to end in "and then the apocalypse happened". But hey, we've ALL BEEN THERE AT THIS POINT.
And then in a not at all passive-agressive reaction to last episode, Harry forces Sam to take a high school level geography test. Next time may or may not be rapper trivia.
Aruto drinking Jack's milkshake! The most serendipitous money laundering scheme ever! Sam doubling down when he really shouldn't! There's only one podcast that can cover all that... and it's THIS!

In Kamen Rider Zero One, we reach the end of the conclusion of the contest arc. Which really, really didn't need to be a contest, as the important parts would have happened almost independent of that. Harry is a little thrown off by how far the show has failed to capitalize on its potential, which might be why he reveals himself to be a big dummo about certain things.
Power Rangers RPM coverage starts around 40:30 ! If you hear some extremely copyrighted music, you're in the right place!
Power Rangers RPM, on the other HAND (eh? eh?) is a breath of fresh air! Which is ironic, considering that they live in a toxic blasted hellscape, but the writing is good and the action is quick! And for the record, Harry knew New Zealand was not physically in Europe proper, but thought they might be on the Euro? Which is still pretty dumb, but just getting that out there.
Yua, finally doing some stuff but clearly not happy about it! Harry being proven right, but in kind of a sideways manner but he's still going to take it! Because he needs that win right now! There's only one podcast that can cover all that... and it's THIS!

Turns out our episodes aren't the only ones getting delayed this week, so let's focus on the three-part into of our new series Power Rangers RPM! A deadly force threatens to spread across the world! Can our heroes stop it?
No. No they cannot. The world burns, and our show starts far past the point most series would consider a bad ending. Still, there has to be a way out if we look hard enough. Time to get in gear.

In Kamen Rider Zero One, it turns out that Jack is behind it all! I'm... pretty sure we knew this already? Are we in a holding pattern? You might halt production any day now Zero One, this isn't the time to go into a midseason slump. Well, at least we're nearing the end of the contest arc.
Then we do some general impressions of the first five episodes of My Hero Academia! Which really isn't much beyond the basic origin story, we were planning for more but Sam had to coordinate food shipments during an unprecented quarantine, an event we're trying to not dwell too much on our silly little rewatch podcast. So let's head into Power Rangers RPM, a show about-
Oh no. Ohhh no. ...Well, it's still pretty good though.

Wherein Sam and Harry have a chat about some current events, and establish a rule to avoid future bummers! Because editing out certain bits might be why this latest episode is taking so long to edit.

In Kamen Rider Zero One, I dunno, another contest ep. Firefighting. You can guess what happens at this point. I honestly wasn't feeling this one.
Gaim coverage concludes around 25:00 ! If you hear some downtempo jams, you're in the right place.
In Kamen Rider Gaim, BUT WHAT ABOUT MICCHYYYYYY
Then we have another one of our games, and it's a mess as always, but one of the enjoyable types this time. Sentai Theme tournament, GO!

Do you remember everything that's happened in Kamen Rider Zero One? In case you don't, the show has a recap for you! And if that's too long, here's my version: Amatsu Gai AKA Jack is a rich jerk who's behind everything and thinks he's got everything under control, but some returning characters may have something to say about that...
Gaim coverage starts around 21:00 ! If you hear some downtempo jams, you're in the right place.
In Kamen Rider Gaim, the final battle commences. On one side, is a man who has suffered his entire life, who turned his pain into determination to seize his place in society. He searched for the strength to make a difference in this world, and sought to topple the cruel power structures that stamp down on the innocent. He turned a ragtag team of street dancers, bakers, and corporate yes-men into a valiant fighting force that fought back the apocalypse. And with his newfound abilities, he is willing to get his hands dirty to paint the world in his image.
On the other side is the guy the show is named after. Aww nuts.

Our impressions Kamen Rider Zero One might be a bit biased considering what we have to compare it to, but this episode rocks! Aruto struggles to control the Metal Cluster key, but help is coming from the humagears he's helped along the way. Which is a lot. Time for the power of friendship to knock a rich Jack-off's teeth out.
Gaim coverage starts around 19:20 ! If you hear some downtempo jams, you're in the right place.
In Kamen Rider Gaim...
Professor Warring is done with being sidelined.
Kaito is done with this protagonist.
Roshuo is done with being alive.
And I am done making excuses.
Eat the rich (with nanomachine swarms)! Gen Urobuchi phoning it in hardcore! The hat trick! There's only one podcast that can cover all that... and it's THIS!

In Kamen Rider Zero One, it feels like even the writers were getting a little tired of the ongoing metaplot, so it's time for a charmingly silly dating escapade. Jack getting roasted to his face, Yua finally getting to do something, Izu teaching swears, it's all here!
Gaim coverage starts around 25:25 ! If you hear some downtempo jams, you're in the right place.
In Kamen Rider Gaim, Kouta just wants to save Micchy! In response, Kaito turns to everybody and says he's the protagonist now, and anybody who disagrees can suck it. Sadly, the only ones who do are the writers.
In the end, we both decide to talk about Kamen Rider OOO for a bit. It's a good show, in exactly the ways that Gaim isn't. Watch it, folks.
GoBusters cast reunion! Professor Warring being openly evil and loving it! Eiji, the best protagonist! There's only one podcast that can cover all that... and it's THIS!
