It all leads up to this. We’ve done Power Rangers episodes…. we’ve done episodes about movies… but until now, with one possible exception, there was not a Power Rangers movie. AND NOW, though some may accuse it of being a Breakfast Club reboot in disguise, and it does not feature Finster OR Scorpina OR the … Continue reading Episode 55: POWER RANGERS (2017)

Episode 55: POWER RANGERS (2017)

This week MikeD selected another classic of Canadian terror, filmed in a Mississauga office park. Who can brainwash better than a brain? Nobody. But so many other questions are raised. What is the brain’s goal? How can it float around on a spinal column? What is the professor’s goal? Will he be decapitated like he … Continue reading Episode 54: The Brain (1988)

Episode 54: The Brain (1988)

It’s all about brains over brawn in this episode. Apparently the Power Rangers represent “brains” and Bulk and the Putties are “brawn”. Meanwhile Jason takes his nephew to the beach, introduces him to “the famous bully, Bulk” and they accidentally defeat Scorpina with a mirror. And Tommy isn’t in this one for some reason. And … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 26: Sloppy Joe Pizza

Lindsay found another gem for MikeR and Darrill’s enjoyment. After 1 minute of the trailer we could tell it has the best dubbing since Catman In Boxer’s Blow, and the best kung fu action filmed in Watts in 1974. Guess what, folks. We’re hooked on the Brothers. * * * [mp3] Download or play this … Continue reading Episode 53: The Dynamite Brothers (1974)

Episode 53: The Dynamite Brothers (1974)

When you defund schools, you end up with the Angel Grove high school play, featuring the school’s largest student as Rumpelstiltskin, and students forced to bring in their grandmothers’ antique spinning wheels as props. Kimberly’s grandmother’s antique spinning wheel gets destroyed, and then Kimberly’s grandmother’s antique spinning wheel disappeared, and nobody seems to understand why … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 25: Kimberly’s Grandmother’s Antique Spinning Wheel

The reviews are in! “I mean, I can understand why people, you know, don’t like it at all” – Darrill “So simultaneously we have Digital Underground being really funny, and we have Chevy Chase fighting an old man with a bedpan on his foot, and we’re like, let’s just watch Digital Underground for the rest … Continue reading Episode 52: Nothing But Trouble (1991)

Episode 52: Nothing But Trouble (1991)

Jason. Tommy. If you want to win the inane spectacle of confusion that is the Team Ninja Finals, you’re going to need some Gung Ho. You’re going to need to learn how to Gung Ho. Rita and Finster and the Putties have mastered Gung Ho and thus created Super Putties! They are putties, but with … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 24: Gung Ho!

Trancers has so much great stuff. Time travel, Honda Elite scooters, Helen Hunt’s elf outfit, the punk version of Jingle Bells, Police Chief McNulty. But we just think something’s missing. And that thing is… one-liners. It looks like a Troma movie but the script is like a TV movie. And what is so bad about … Continue reading Episode 51: Trancers (1984)

Episode 51: Trancers (1984)

It’s time for the Angel Grove High School Masquerade. Everyone’s in the costume you would expect, except Alpha 5 who is attracting ALL the ladies in his Alpha 5 costume. Rita and Finster spend most of this episode getting the Putties to assemble a giant flying meatball. Meanwhile, Lindsay, Mike, Mike, and Darrill discuss Zack’s … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 23: Frankenstein’s Party

Many years ago… three people, and some other people, watched a movie called Megaforce. And this, more than any other ridiculous movie, inspired them, and one other person, to create what is now known to many as Forgotten Failures. And now… after 50 full-length episodes of wall-to-wall wackiness… we stand before you, discussing Megaforce. AND … Continue reading Episode 50: Megaforce (1982)

Episode 50: Megaforce (1982)

In this episode Kimberly and Tommy share a harrowing experience (watching Putties rough up Kimberly’s award-winning miniature parade float), which only deepens their burgeoning romance. We discuss how Angel Grove apparently hosts a nationally televised parade; the increasingly bold behavior of the Putties (appearing INSIDE the Gym and Juice — is nothing safe?), and Finster’s … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 22: The Spit Flower

As Ep 50 approaches, Lindsay, Darrill and Awesome Mike chose this week’s movie via Random Movie Generator. And we won’t tell you what it is until you listen! Hint: It’s the greatest Danish superhero movie we’ve seen since Russian Terminator? And our greatest dubbed movie since Catman In Boxer’s Blow? And our greatest movie about … Continue reading Episode 49: ??????????????? (2013)

Episode 49: ??????????????? (2013)

We watched Alpha 5’s Magical Xmas! How is this Christmas special so utterly terrible? It’s like Power Rangers for an audience of four-year-olds in 1890. Marvel as we discuss: Alpha 5 and Zordon’s dreary home life Speculations about Alpha 5’s religious beliefs Alpha 5 selfishly makes Christmas all about himself. What a diva. The Power … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Festive Failures: Alpha 5’s Magical Xmas

Big shakeup in Rita’s management team: Finster may be out of a job because Babboo created this week’s weapon, a potion turning Billy and Kimberly into those most hated of all creatures: Punks. MikeD, MikeR and Darrill were appalled at the depiction of punks, but were intrigued by a glimpse into Zordon’s past as a … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Forgotten Failures 21: Punks and Cannibalism

The cameos burst forth in this tour de force debut from Insane Clown Posse’s cinematic department. Dolemite … Rerun … Mick Foley … the Misfits hanging out in a donut bar … not one but BOTH Jerky Boys … dinky 70s instrumental music looping behind every scene … brilliant characters like Green Willie, Lil’ Poot … Continue reading Episode 48: Big Money Hustlas (2000)
