050 – Imagine Seadragons (Kamen Rider Eps. 76-77)

Nathan has gotten to the point where Kamen Rider (1971) is recycling old tropes—mind control, crucifixions, child endangerment, etc.—but putting new spins on them. Instead of fighting one kaijin three times, Hongo fights three of the same kaijin! In fact, both of this week’s kaijin, Seadragon and Newtgeth, are well-designed and have pretty cool suits. Although, Nathan wasn’t prepared to see one travel via Blob blood or to see Taki cosplay Raiden from Mortal Kombat. All this and more on the latest 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.
