038 – Madam Poison Butterfly (Kamen Rider Eps. 56-57)

We get some repeats (repeats) this week on Kamen Rider (“Rider! Rider!”). Nathan and Travis discuss a pair of episodes that feature kaijin strikingly similar to ones we’ve seen before, albeit with slight variations (a butterfly instead of a moth, a purseweb spider instead of a…normal spider?) We also see Goro accidentally figure out how to save the day in both episodes. Throw in some humorously misheard song lyrics (the Japanese pronunciation of “screw”), several music references, and Travis’s continued “shipping” of Taki with whoever is Kamen Rider, and you have a standard Henshin Men episode.Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!FactoryTV and Tubi.
