Nathan’s been waiting for this episode for a long time. He even popped popcorn for the occasion. But he doesn’t get what he wanted—he got something better! Michael changed his mind about the Power Rangers (2017) movie! They’re joined by writer, critic, and co-host of The Drift Space podcast Jack “GMan” Hudgens to discuss the most divisive and, arguably, most underrated piece of Power Rangers media. For all its faults with its aesthetics, it gets the heart of the franchise right. It was made by people who love Power Rangers, and yet it was largely rejected by the fans. It’s tragic, and the film deserves to be re-evaluated. A sequel would’ve helped it. All this, a thematic discussion on love, and more in the latest episode of The Power Trip!

Today’s theme song is “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Brian Tyler.
