Episode 174: Splinter 026: Shin Ultraman

This week, two men, one belt, a lot of questions about who's brainwashed and who's just written badly? All this and more on Kamen Rider Blade!

This week, two men, one drug, and the milk that's tearing them apart.

This week, the lads wonder how Mega Man X logic applies to a deck (deca?) of cards, exposit on the dangers of weed, and nearly come to blows. Again.

This week, one man down and one month in, 2023 kicks off with a return to Blade, and the debut of new character "Nurse Girlfriend".

This week: everyone saw Shin Ultraman but the editor! And maybe Evan. Spoilers within.

This week, despite it continuing to be 2022, we take a time warp back to the 2000s... not because Blade was a show from 2004, no. You'll find out. Show Notes If you weren't online in 2001, here is an explanation of what they're discussing (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/11940). If that made no sense, have further context (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us).

Content warning: This episode contains a lot of discussion of adult themes, including quite impressive practical gore, drug use, racism, and basically Black Sun is a show for adults by adults. This one is not for the kids. This week: two hosts, two candidates, only one can be the Content Creation King. It's Kamen Rider: Black Sun. Maybe this becomes a full season of coverage later, but for now, just the opening episode.

This week, two hosts and an editor take a side road into ANIMETOWN, with the Kamen Rider W sequel anime, Fuuto PI, which is just ending this week on ~~Funimation~~ Crunchyroll. Everyone can't help but ask: is it gay enough?

This week, two of our hosts take a journey into modern times and discuss Kamen Rider Geats (or some of it, so far...), and then your faithful editor has to bleep out A LOT of spoilers for a lot of unrelated series.

This week we go to some dark places with Spider-Man, but the healing power of cops brings our boys back home with a renewed vow to improve themselves. Would Spider-Man shoot a child? Opinions are mixed.
