020 – Ant-Woman and the Rider (Kamen Rider Eps. 34-35)
11/29/21 • 65 min
Nostril eye holes. That’s one of the many important things discussed in this week’s Henshin Men by Travis and Nathan. Why? Because both of the kaijins-of-the-week, Toadiller and Alkimedes, have their “eyes” on the tops of their heads, but the suit actors are obviously seeing out the masks’ noses. It’s not unlike what Travis brought up last week about the Kamen Rider costume. Besides that, they discuss the first (sorta) on-screen appearance of the Shocker Leader (using a brainwave scanner that projects memories as a movie), the best one-liner in the series so far (hint: it involves a password), and the career of actress/model Linda Yamamoto (who played Rider Girl Mari) and how it parallels the development of Japanese culture. You’re welcome.
Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!FactoryTV and Tubi. Watch there to follow along with us!

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!
