Just in time for Cosmic Fury, the Toku Ladies have a lot of thoughts about Once & Always! In which we plot a lot of fanfic, have a lot of feelings, and basically fangirl like mad for an hour.
In which the Toku Ladies review season 2 of Dino Fury, and flail about the upcoming Cosmic Fury.
Tl;dr Dino Fury is the greatest and everyone should watch it.
Also, this somehow manages to be our 42nd actual episode, but is technically episode 50 if you count interviews. So clearly, queer power rangers are the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
We're back with special guests SecretRangerFan and Ryorin!
In which we discuss what to do when your heroes are allegedly guilty of various incredibly serious accusations, discuss the weird parasocial relationship we have with the actors in PR fandom, and how to separate art from artist... and if you still can when these sorts of allegations have been made.
Unfortunately Ter had to miss this episode due to computer issues.
We watched Dino Fury and it is amazing. You should also watch it. Immediately. Also, representation matters and we love everything about it. EVERYTHING.
The Toku Ladies talk about this week's twitter incident, overt vs covert racism, and what happens when it's your friend who messed up.

The world is a disaster, so the Toku Ladies are bringing you a 2 1/2 hour episode about mental health, self-care, curating our relationships with online fandom communities, and how fandom can help us cope. And we answer a bunch of community questions.

Procrastiranger posted an article about how exposure to systemic racism literally shortens lifespans: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5407682/

Time has no meaning anymore. As 2020 has already been a decade long, the Toku Ladies cover the previous decade, toku of the 2010s. How the shows have changed, how the fandom has changed, and how the discourse has changed.
Note: This episode was recorded on Galentine's Day. We are serious when we say time no longer has any meaning.
To celebrate the end of an era, we cover all of the Heisei era Kamen Riders! TSB attempts to describe all of the seasons, despite never finishing one, and we answer a bunch of listener questions.
Note: When we recorded this episode, Cat had not yet chosen her new name. We use her old name in the episode. We have her permission to keep the original recording intact, but please note that the person we say understands Decade is named Cat.
It's part 2 of our What is Canon series! Last Time we discussed canon broadly, and this time we apply it to toku! From our favorite headcanons, to how does this shared universe work, to a general agreement about whether or not canon even matters, we cover it all!
In this episode, hosts TheSecondBatgirl and PockySquirrel team up with guesthosts PantherNGA and Rivulet027 to talk about the first year of Rangerstop Atlanta! We cover the good (pretty much everything), the bad (some typical first year problems), and the panels (possibly the best we've ever attended).
Also we watched Buffalo Boys and Ex-Aid. Thank you, Dr. Pac-Man!

In this episode, the toku ladies discuss canon, continuity, and what counts as both. This is part 1 of a series, in which we barely discuss toku at all, but instead spoil comic books and movies, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Star Wars, Transformers, Zelda, and a bunch of other fandoms.

Also, here is the Star Wars twitter thread we reference: https://twitter.com/jere7my/status/959639420109578240
In this episode, the Toku Ladies define toxic masculinity, why representation matters for men, and debate toku as an antidote for toxic masculinity.
The Toku Ladies (once again) rant about representation in Toku, smurfette syndrome, regendering characters, why it's sometimes necessary to call things out, and we spend a lot of time cursing that we have to have this conversation yet again. And we get a bit distracted sorting ourselves by Hogwarts house and which Sailor Scout we are.
