Down Shift Into Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie

After the critically panned, yet financially successful Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie, the Power Rangers is in a weird spot. It needs to make major changes all over its production but also needs to combat waning interest from its once untouchable peak. Zach guides you through the journey of what happened when Power Rangers chose to no longer be Mighty Morphin, all the way its second movie. Mason then breaks down the much less fun, much less budgeted, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.

Mighty Morphin Powers Rangers The Rise & The Movie

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was supposed to just be a cheaply made kids show that exploded into a phenomenon still going strong today. How did that happen? Zach goes into the sudden and unexpected rise of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, & the changes that came out of the popularity. Mason then breaks down the culmination of the rise of the show, the movie that came out of it, and how good and (mostly) bad it is!

Obsession Ascension- Challenge Of The GoBots

Welcome to Obsession Ascension, a bi-weekly podcast where friends Zach & Mason pick a topic of interest or current hyperfixati0n and do some sort of a deep dive on it! This week our hosts go deep into an old 80's show and toy, the GoBots, the closest thing to a rival Transformers had right out the gate. Zach watched the entire 65 episode television show called Challenge Of The GoBots, and the movie, while Mason took a look into all the GoBots toys and the history of Gobots and what became of them after they were shut down, comparing it all to his deep knowledge on Transformers.
