In the early 90’s, Toei made a trilogy of three standalone Kamen Rider movies. Dubbed the Showa trilogy because of their aesthetic tribute to the Showa era, these not-Showa movies offer three varying takes on Kamen Rider. Join us as we discuss Kamen Riders Shin (not that Shin, the other one), Z-O, and J; as well as the inimitable influence of Keita Amemiya on the Kamen Rider franchise. We had a lot of fun watching these, and highly recommend you check em out, all available on youtube.
