031 – There’s a Humongous Fungus Among Us (Kamen Rider Eps. 44-45)

Nathan and Travis get back into the Kamen Rider (1971) routine. This required they re-watch a pair of episodes they intended to cover a month ago—and it’s a good thing they did. This week’s KR offerings feature one of the scariest kaijin yet—Moldinga/Kabibinga—and one that should’ve gotten Toei sued by Toho—Slugzilla. You’ll hear Travis and Nathan discuss the symbolically corruptive nature of mold/fungus and how to translate crazy kaijin-of-the-week names—and complaints about more mind control! (Seriously, Shocker has maybe three plays in their playbook). In other words, everything you’ve come to expect from Henshin Men.Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!FactoryTV and Tubi. Watch there to follow along with us!Follow Henshin Men on Twitter: @HenshinMenPod.Listen to Travis’s main podcast, Kaiju Weekly, and Nathan’s podcasts, The Monster Island Film Vault and The Power Trip.MUSIC:-“Kamen Rider - Let's Go!!
