09 - When Rider-Mania Runs Wild On You! (Kamen Rider Eps 16-17)

You don’t have to listen on pay-per-view (“pay-per-listen”?) to hear what the Henshin Men are cookin’! Your tag-team hosts Travis and Nathan discuss two of the most electrifying episodes of Kamen Rider (1971) where Hayato battles Pirasaurus, a champion pro-wrestler-turned-kaijin by Shocker. The least secret of secret organizations disguises the King of Dinosaurs (if you got that reference, you are a nerd among nerds) as the obvious heel, Satan Mask, to attract an arena full of people and murder them with poison gas. Meanwhile, this week’s “Kamen Kenny” is Pirasaurus’s little brother, who keeps trying to save his brother from Shocker, making the audience not want KR2 to kill the kaijin-of-the-week. What? That’s gonna take one heck of an attitude adjustment! Have a nice day listening to the latest episode of Henshin Men—OH YEAH!Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!Factory TV and Tubi. Watch there to follow along with us!
