Tokudon - Episode 38: LADY BATTLECOP
One of the greatest movies ever has a robotic warrior coming back from the brink of death to get revenge on a gang that brutally murdered them. AND SHE'S READY TO KICK ASS!!! This week we watch the Toei produced 1990 movie Lady Battlecop that tries to capitalize on the popularity of Robocop and the metal heroes Jiban series. It's a beautiful and wild time warp of a movie! Come listen to what we think!

Tokudon - Episode 36: Closing the Book on Kamen Rider Saber
Dang... another one in the books. I can't wait to turn the page and see what the next is to be told. This episode is filled with so many books puns as we close the book on a certain Dragon author and his friends. We talk our highlights, our lows, and what to expect in the future as we look back on the second Reiwa rider. And well at least one of us watched the crossover episode. So there's that.

Send us your thoughts, questions, requests to tokudoncast@gmail.com
This week we review Voltron: Legendary Defender! This netflix adaptation of the 1984 classic series about 5 teenagers with attitude who form a giant robot to fight the forces of evil... BUT ITS NOT SENTAI/POWER RANGERS OKAY. This is why it's on the list though as it shares many troupes and stylistic choices with traditional Tokusatsu shows! We laugh, We cry, we get a lot of names wrong in traditional Tokudon fashion!

Join our Discord and hang out with us!
This week we are down a member, but Carl and Robert discuss an old idea they had... A tokusatsu show of their own! DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!!! But really. It was a project that is now almost 7 years old and nothing was going to be done with it so they decided to share it and put it out there to be flayed by the masses.
More importantly we want to hear from you! Most likely if you are listening to this you have dreamt up a rider/sentai/toku hero at one point or another. Good Bad, love it or hate it we want to hear it all! maybe we'll even try to get a few of you peeps on the podcast!
Look forward to our review of Voltron Legendary Defenders Next week!
