041 – Get to the Point! (Kamen Rider Eps. 62-63)

Your dynamic duo of hosts, Nathan and Travis, latch onto a couple of themes in the Kamen Rider (1971) episodes they cover, including “tell, don’t show,” pointy weapons, and old habits. First up, “Sonic the Hedgehozuras” turns hapless young couples into Halloween store skeletons and tries to steal a flesh-eating virus from a clueless Kamen Kenny. Then in a simple “kill Hongo” plot, the horny Rhinogang blinds Hongo, and Dr. Shinigami hypnotizes one of Hongo’s racing friends to lead Hongo into a trap—because what this show needs is more mind control! Then Nathan annoys Travis by not telling him where he could’ve made a “Hongo and Taki shipping” joke but didn’t.
