012 - Five Nights at Squirrelly’s (Kamen Rider Eps. 22-23)

Nathan and Travis discuss two episodes of Kamen Rider (1971), the first of which has a murderous merman—and that doesn’t matter. You came to hear about Musasabeedle, aka Fly-Squidle—with a “d” and not a “t” to avoid a lawsuit from Nintendo. We guesstimate about 50 percent of this episode is your intrepid hosts laughing at this squirrelly kaijin’s expense. So. Many. Jokes! What else is there to talk about in this week’s episode of Henshin Men besides this giant killer plushie that sounds like a farting Indy car when he flies? Shin Kamen Rider news? Nope. The Ishiro Honda-esque theme of weaponizing something meant for scientific advancement? No. The real answer? Nothing, that’s what! Although, we do share some listener feedback at the end.Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!Factory TV and Tubi.
