036 – Sea Snake Flash (Kamen Rider Eps. 54-55)

Travis and Nathan have a few other things on their minds discussing Kamen Rider (1971) this week. Namely Star Trek and ‘70s Godzilla films. In an episode that opens reminiscent of Godzilla vs. Megalon, Hongo battles a Gorn-like Shocker kaijin that must’ve inspired the mad mind of Keita Amemiya when he directed Zeiram. (Learn more about him in the latest issue of Kaiju Ramen Magazine—out now!) In the second episode, a snake oil salesman is transformed into a kaijin that wants to be the “space roaches” of Godzilla vs. Gigan—and spreads a deadly hyper-aging bacteria in bowling ball finger holes. (So…many…bad…jokes…!) Just your average episode of Henshin Men, folks!Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!FactoryTV and Tubi.
