Episode 14: Power Rangers SPD (feat. J.R. Villers of The Drift Space)

The Disney Era leg of our journey through the Power Rangers franchise continues with Power Rangers SPD, and Michael and Nathan are joined by their friend J.R. Villers of The Drift Space podcast. J.R. is a mega-fan of this series, while Nathan and Michael are watching it for the first time—and are surprised by how good it is. The show has many elements that, in lesser hands, would’ve been stupid, but here they work. It breaks the PR formula a bit with its episode structure, among other things, and shows that Rangers can be heroic police officers. Shockingly, the Quantum Ranger is dethroned by Doggie Cruger as Nathan’s favorite Sixth Ranger! After an in-depth discussion of the show’s many great characters, your hosts have a deep thematic discourse on leadership.
