018 - Trilo-bonanza (Kamen Rider Eps 30-31)
11/15/21 • 65 min
Travis and Nathan come to another pair of Kamen Rider (1971) episodes that want so very badly to harken back to the “Hongo era”—by featuring a vampire trilobite and a plague-spreading anteater. Yep. Col. Zol performs a bizarre ceremony to resurrect a fossilized trilobite (that may or may not have been found under Godzilla’s foot) while the Rider Girls try ward the monster off with garlic. Because that makes sense. Ironically, the anteater proves to be one of the scariest and most powerful kaijins-of-the-week KR2 has fought! He even infects Goro the “Kamen Kenny,” forcing KR2 to finally learn a new move. In other words...this time, it’s personal! Welcome to Henshin Men, heroes of the internet!
Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!Factory TV and Tubi. Watch there to follow along with us!

017 - The Eyes Have It (Kamen Rider Eps 28-29)
What does a mole and a jellyfish have in common? No, this isn’t a joke; it’s actually something Nathan and Travis try to figure out in today’s edition of Henshin Men. Kamen Rider 2 battles a mole kaijin and a jellyfish kaijin in this week’s episodes. Both of them have eyes in weird places—like biological periscopes and at the end of tentacles. Did we mention that the jellyfish looks like Cobra Commander with a Tentacool for a hood? The series also continues its weird obsession with flinging “Kamen Kennys” like sacks of potatoes. These two wacky Kamen Rider adventures inspired multiple episode title ideas, including, “Babydoll Jellydall” and “Rider Jump Cut.” In other words, it’s just another week at Henshin Men!

019 - Corpse Flower Power! (Kamen Rider Eps. 32-33)
Rainbow factories explode (again) and a Brazilian archer girl seeks revenge in this week’s Kamen Rider (1971) episodes! In the first KR2 adventure, Nathan and Travis marvel at the man-eating, multicolored Dokudahlian, a plant kaijin who has the power to turn any room he enters into a disco. He kidnaps women and forces them to manufacture poisonous drugs, because only women have hands delicate enough to do it. (Shocker, you sexist fiends!) Next, your dynamic hosts are entranced by Connie “the yellow jumpsuit wearing, bow and arrow wielding, and vengeance seeking vigilante” as she tracks Shocker’s steel-skinned monster, Armadillong. (Well, Nathan is—Travis is still too busy crushing on Taki). How come she never joined the Rider Girls as a regular cast member? This question and more is answered in Henshin Men, your favorite tokusatsu superhero appreciation podcast!
