This month, Iori and Brandon talk about the first sixteen episodes of Kamen Rider Drive, the only hero in the franchise with the word ‘Rider’ in its name who never rides a bike once. We snicker about toy cars, constantly insist that Shijima Kiriko should have been the heroine the whole time, and muse on the fact that sometimes the literal monsters aren’t the actual monsters. Also, Iori teaches Brandon that sometimes fansubbers make changes to translation for the audience’s own good.

Here, we plan to ramble at length about the good, the bad, and the absolutely silly parts of the Japanese science fiction television franchise, Kamen Rider. Hopefully, we’ll introduce you to a series you’ll love to watch. For our introductory episode, Iori Kusano and Brandon O’Brien give a brief overview of Kamen Rider‘s beginnings, their introductions to the franchise, their favourite elements of the series they’ve seen so far, and what they look forward to discussing in future episodes. Next episode: we dive into the first 16 episodes of Kamen Rider Drive, the only Rider who gets a car instead of a motorcycle. He gets a lot of cars, in fact. Sports cars that talk. Toy cars that fight. Technically, his suit is a car… it’s wild. Be Transformed, and Stay Righteous!

Korean Drama Review: You Who Came from the Stars
When you think about science fiction and fantasy TV shows, you might think about series like Star Trek and Doctor Who, or Adventure Time and Game of Thrones. You might not, however, think about Korean dramas. Yet there are many Korean dramas with science fiction and fantasy elements. Most of these shows might be more accurately classified as paranormal romances due to their focus on a relationship between the main characters, but that focus certainly doesn’t take away from the fact that there are cursed goblins, comic book heroes coming to life, and aliens from another star galore in these Korean dramas.
