The summer of 1995 was a tidal wave for the Power Rangers franchise. Heading into season three, a long awaited feature film was released and the world would never be the same. From gay icon Ivan Ooze (and to a lesser extent Rita Repulsa) to the complexities of Ranger/Sentai canon to trying to stay on track and not just talk about a franchise with more than twenty years of camp iconography, John and Magnus focus on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. Whether you remember Xena Warrior Dulcea, a sad frog prince named Adam, the inexplicable Angel Grove Monorail, dynamic fossil fighting, or the battle over whether Tommy was an acceptable leader or not, there is more than enough pop culture in this deep dive to make you say- we were really doing all that in the 90s? And the answer is a resounding yes.
