POWER RANGERS movie: a home run for millennial fans

March 24, 2017

On today's (spoilers included) episode Andy Farnsworth is joined by two guest hosts, McKenzie Romero of the Deseret News and Millennial Josh to talk about the most millennial movie of the year, Power Rangers (2017). It's getting rave reviews for capturing the essence of what Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was, including all of the cheesiness but we wanted to break down whether it could hold up against modern superhero movies being produced today and where it stands for those new to the franchise. Also, we talk about Elizabeth Banks, who makes an amazing Rita Repulsa, how tv budgets in the 90's seriously hindered live-action fight scenes, and the issues modern cinema has getting over the "troubled teen" plot hurdles.
