01 - Get Your Rider Kicks on Route 66 (Kamen Rider Eps 1-2)
07/07/21 • 51 min
Travis and Nathan begin their henshin hero journey with one of the most popular: Kamen Rider! Toei’s iconic motorcycle-riding grasshopper-inspired superhero burst onto the scene with a classic manga and TV series in 1971. Nathan the noob is educated by super-fan Travis as they discuss Kamen Rider’s origin story and first battles with the evil organization Shocker—against villains confusingly named “Spider Man” and “Bat Man.” Or is it more accurate to say, “Man-Spider” and “Man-Bat”? Except those are also American comic book characters.... Anyway, speed through the first few miles of this 96-episode (of the show, not the podcast) ride with us!
Kamen Rider (1971) is available to watch on Shout!Factory TV and Tubi.
