020 – Ant-Woman and the Rider (Kamen Rider Eps. 34-35)

Nostril eye holes. That’s one of the many important things discussed in this week’s Henshin Men by Travis and Nathan. Why? Because both of the kaijins-of-the-week, Toadiller and Alkimedes, have their “eyes” on the tops of their heads, but the suit actors are obviously seeing out the masks’ noses. It’s not unlike what Travis brought up last week about the Kamen Rider costume. Besides that, they discuss the first (sorta) on-screen appearance of the Shocker Leader (using a brainwave scanner that projects memories as a movie), the best one-liner in the series so far (hint: it involves a password), and the career of actress/model Linda Yamamoto (who played Rider Girl Mari) and how it parallels the development of Japanese culture. You’re welcome.Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!FactoryTV and Tubi.
